… what did I say about the neemo trap yesterday? Lol! (*\u2267\u25bd\u2266)\uff89\uff7c)) Here we are again, ahem… it took me about four months to hunt down this particular doll. When she was originally released, there was one on Y!J but I had to let her pass because my funds were tied elsewhere… and then, nothing for months, even though I kept checking, like, basically every day. \u30fd(;\u00b4\u0414\uff40)\uff89 Until a couple of weeks ago, I spotted an auction that had this doll’s name in the title, BUT a different doll’s name in the description – and no photo. \u03a3(\u309c\u30ed\u309c;) So I didn’t dare to bid in case it was the doll in the description, because it was one of my least favourites and I would’ve been so disappointed if I’d gotten the wrong one… ~( \u00b4\u2022\ufe35\u2022` )~<\/p>\n

But a few days later after the auction had ended (with no bids), it got updated with a photo as no one had bid on it – and it WAS this particular doll that I wanted! \u03a3(\u00b4\uff9f\u03c9\uff9f\uff40 ) I was all darn, I should’ve bid on her while I had the chance… but luckily I didn’t get any competition and managed to win her for 18k yen, phew! (*\uff89\u00b4\u25a1`)\uff89~ That was pretty much my maximun price, although at this point I would’ve probably paid more for her just to finally get her home…<\/p>\n

Aanyway, she finally arrived today!! \u30fe(\uff20^\u25bd^\uff20)\uff89<\/p>\n

The box~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Oohh, pink packaging paper here as well! (\u256f\u2727\u2207\u2727)\u256f<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Ta-dah! Fluffy Hopping Bunny coordinate set Minami-sensei~ \uff61\uff9f\u2736\u0e3a.\u30fd(*\u00b4\u2200`*)\uff89.\u2736\u0e3a\uff9f\uff61 I’d been wanting her for so long and once this bunny coordinate version was released, I HAD to have her! \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I’m on a mission to collect all the animal hats, lol! (\u15d2\u15dc\u15d5)\u055b\u0335\u0316 I did hunt down the Fluffy Bunny coordinate Mia to get the outfit for my Usagi-san Miu, so naturally I needed this matching version for my Haru Usagi-san Mia~ \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Cute Minami is cuuute! (\u4eba\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)\u2661 She’s got such a gentle expression~ This black haired version is my favourite, I just adore neemo girls with dark hair~ \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The braid is so neat! I’d planned to open it, but seeing it now… I think I don’t dare to, not for a while anyway, haha~ (\u0e51\u00b4\u3142`\u0e51)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Tried the bunny hood hat on her, eheheh~ ( *\u00af \u00b3\u00af*)\u2661<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Photographed all the pieces when I undressed her, so that I could put the outfit on my lovely Kotone~ \u00b4\u0348 \u1d55 `\u0348 \u2661\u00b0\u25cc\u030a The brown pantyhose are so nice!! I’m happy that I’ve been getting some pantyhose lately, I have so many socks and stockings already, haha~<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
I dug through my neemo clothes for a while searching for an outfit for her… as I switched her on the LL-bust body and I have few tops that fit the huge bust, lol.\uff08\u3000\u00b4\u2200\uff40\uff09This coordinate ended up really cute and appropriate for autumn, though~ \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Close up of her sweet face~ Her eyes are such a lovely rich reddish brown! (\u00b4 \u25bd\uff40).\u3002\uff4f\u2661<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
One thing I’m sad about is that I haven’t been able to buy an L-size body so that she could be as tall and slender as her friend Kasumi. ( \u00b4\u25b3\uff40) Like, sure, there are lots of people who are shorter than others their age, but I already have a bunch of girls on the M-size body, so I really wanted Mio and Minami to be my L-size girls (with the big bust). I am a sad panda! \u30fe( \u2022\u0301\u0434\u2022\u0300 ;)\uff89<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
One of my favourite thing about the L body is the slender and looong legs! \u2665 Kasumi’s dress was too poofy so you can’t see her legs in full, but already the calves are much longer and put her knees higher than on the M-size body.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Then I dressed Kotone and grabbed Kotori to take a photo of them in their matching looks. Too cuuuteeee!!! \u30fe(o\u2267\u2200\u2266o)\uff89\uff9e \u2665 \u2665 \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
A close up with a super quick set up…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
And a test with Sanae as well~ \u2665<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

It’s always so nice to finally get ahold of a doll that you’ve been looking for a long time! \u2570( \uff65 \u15dc \uff65 )\u256f Minami is definitely just as lovely as I’d imagined her to be! It’s too bad that I wasn’t able to get her the L-type body… I should’ve bought that one in storage instead of M-size LL-bust body, since now there are still M\/LL bodies around, but no L-bodies… except in white skin. Azone seems to have discontinued the Natural skin L-size body. Only some of their character series dolls have L-type body or, like, L-size legs… in December Kasumigaoka Utaha will be released and she’s got L legs with M torso, so perhaps I can at least get L-legs for my Sanae if I can hunt that doll down on the aftermarket for a low price… sometimes the character dolls can sell for around 8000 yen, which isn’t a bad price… but with my luck, Utaha is gonna be one of the expensive ones, I’m sure… \u30fd(\uffe3\u0434\uffe3;)\u30ce<\/p>\n

I really wish Azone would sell Minami-sensei and Mio on the L-type bodies originally, I like having a variety of heights in my doll collection… they’re intended as older characters, too, so a taller body would make sense. Especially Minami-sensei is definitely an adult. I do think that Minami and Mio suit the L-type body the best…<\/p>\n

But yeah, I decided to name my Minami as Sanae. It’s a lovely name and also a small tribute to Nagisa’s parents in CLANNAD. I hate Nagisa with a passion (airheaded overly goody-good girls not my type) but her parents Sanae-san and Akio are the best!!! Nagisa’s route and the After Story would’ve been plain torture if it weren’t for her awesome parents, lol~ (\u15d2\u15dc\u15d5)\u055b\u0335\u0316 I’d probably never finished the visual novel otherwise (the anime is total crap, the VN is the only thing to love). But yeah, the kanji that I chose for my Sae is \u771e\u6075. The first one is “truth, reality” and the second one “blessing, grace, kindness”. Shes a very warm-hearted person who wants to help others to the best of her ability, so I thought that this writing for her name would be the most descriptive one~<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
