I was referring to the reference photos in this post. e2046 will never do that well, but they match quite well with their own reference photos. So if that’s what you expect then you’ll be happy.

The ears definitely need work though, been one of my long standing complaints for this garage kit.

How will the hair dryer work, seems like the material would be hard and too brittle.

She looks pretty much exactly like e2046 shows in their photos. The tip of her tail isn’t white enough (too yellow?) is the first thing that stands out for me. But then, neither is the version in the above photos in the post.

I built a few garage kits during the last year and yes, its hard work.I hope the gathering version will be quiet as good as the refference pictures, if not, maybe I will sell her and try to make the garage kit as good as i can. Maybe I will change the shape of one ear using a hair dryer or something.

well, she’s good enough, of course if you compared to the original GK it is definitely not as good. I think the main “flaws” if you put it that way, is how the skin tones/blushes are painted/sprayed on the E2046 ver as opposed to the original GK.

not sure how much difference you can tell from a random un-flashed phone camera pic, but heres it if you dont mind: http://twitpic.com/8vu6re

I too ordered the pre-painted Gathering Version (knock-off) from e2046. I have yet to open the package and don’t expect much, but will be happily surprised if she turns out well. I think however she wont turn out anywhere near the quality of the work featured in the post here by whom ever runs that “sakuraikumi” blog. So she’ll be a bit of a let down I think, but I still had to own her.

I bought that Horo-Garage Kit as prepainted Gathering Version, and an unpainted Version too. I think I will complete here in the next week and write a review about it.The Gathering-Version ist quite awesome.

I could see spending 3x a figure for a Dollfie, because she’d be 3x as tall. Beyond that is asking too much!

Lotteries are annoying because I never win. And it seems like this sort of lottery isn’t really a ‘win’ like a usual lottery. A usual lottery the winnings out weigh the cost of participating, such as $1 for the lottery ticket to win a car. But a free lottery that costs you $500+ to get your winnings seems backwards in some way, but whatever.

well, in a nutshell, a dollfie is about 5-7 PVC worth of money, so yeah lol.

the lottery thing is only for volks USA, and thats provided IF volks japan got excess dollfies from their launch/events (like dollpa22, for mashiro/mai)which usually they should have.

The whole idea of using the lottery system is so it further enforces their idea of making every damn dollfie they release super limited, and somewhat (not really i guess lol!) thwart auction sharks.

if you want a secure way to get a dollfie, get directly from japan via proxy/someone inside. auction stage = killer, and im sure you’ve already witnessed yourself.

Yeah they’re about that price here as well. Which isn’t 2/3s of my income but still enormously expensive. In addition to the fact we’d have to win a lottery just to get the priviledge of being able to purchase her, or is that just for Volks USA? And if I didn’t win said lottery, I’d be forced onto the auction stage, where Saber goes for thousands of dollars, and I just can’t ever justify that kind of money on something that’s as useless as a 2 foot tall doll, even if it is a Horo doll.

pretty much same feeling, since, dollfies dont come cheap LOL

furthermore me living in a country thats ‘considered’ 3rd world (inb4flames) with pretty piss poor currency, it’ll be really difficult for me to acquire one should they release her.

simply put, an avg dollfie is at least MYR2k, and thats pretty much 2/3 of my pay/month already lol.
