Let's see, 88,000 jpy = 793.78 USD
For a mere 793.78 (or there abouts, as the currency fluctuates), Captain Cecile can be mine, MINE, all mine...

Er.. yeah. Very expensive...

Dollfies are customisable figures made of high-quality resinstuffs that you actually put together like a model kit... cecile's a crazy special edition thing.

I saw some crazy gothed-out ones at Otakon and started bouncing at the concept of Weird Girl Creepy Dolls. I went to a panel about them for vague ideas and I think I'll be making similar outfits and paint/dye/whatever jobs on some standard affordable Creepy Dolls just to see how it turns out.

Eventually I'll probably cave and buy one of the $300 ones, but that comes after Motorcycle and Violin Fixed and probably House Downpayment in my priority list.

You people are KILLING ME. Gofun and Nishi dolls are an expensive *enough* obsession! LOL

I should learn to make these.

If you end up getting the Youko, be nice to him, Helen ;)

I hope you do make some like these - they are beautiful.

There's not a chance I could afford him ...
