a bit of Fun, Fractured Phrasing for those amused by such things;

those "stretched" proportions on Konomi just kept continually bugging me,
so i got her an OBITSU 24ver. 2 body, and... IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY!!!

she looks thick in a good way. Juicy

at last, the Konomi-chan that i've pined for, for years now, has arrived;

i was trying a new photo hosting service out, but it looks like i was having issue with PHOTOBUCKET for a good reason,
since they were in the midst of a major design update. well, their finished now, and it works great!!!

speaking of design updates, i made some much needed improvements to both of my "To Heart" girls, Konomi and Multi;

so, this figure kit that i've been waiting on since April 2020 finally came in;

well, was she worth the wait? i think so.
she was initially released back in 2009, IIRC, the bare figure alone,
with her charging cradle and Broom/weapons accessories sold in a separate set.

this 2020 renewal edition includes it all;







inner skirt has been painted to simulate Slip/Petticoat;







Figure has alternate bare feet with Rare Earth magnets in her soles to interface with the matching magnet plate in the Charging cradle;









Painted Lip detail;



i have yet to finish her Broom and Weapon accessories, which will require a good deal of paintwork. you will see them here, when finished...

it's been an expensive stuffed burrito of a year for me so far;

a modest little collection of dolls and paraphernalia spanning the near-25 year history of this classic series of Japanese-market Visual Novels;

I was actually really amazed to see that this series had been released on LD, or part of it at least.

well, the first series came along in 1999, -based on a 1997 Visual Novel- so we have some pretty late Japanese LD releases here, to be sure.

the sequel series, -coming along in 2004 as it did- of course had only DVD releases, at least until Blu-Ray came along anyway...
