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.

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.

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.

I’d be happy (and hateful) if they did release a Horo Dollfie. But it’s nice to know they do hold a license to do so.

volks does have the license for spice and wolf releases, and with the recent mashiro release (which imo, its just not up to par.) its almost certain that sooner or later that horo dollfie would be released too

Yeah I suppose standard release Dollfies are probably more affordable, I’ve never really looked though. Only at character Dollfies, which all seemed to be small fortunes in cost. What does a standard release Dollfie go for?

Atomic-Bom Rei needs to be made by a good company, Alter for sure, but not Kotobukiya. I know Kotobukiya has done a fantastic job on their Rebuild of Evangelion Eva figures, but they’re too hit or miss on most of their products. I’d prefer, Alter, Max Factory or Good Smile Company to produce Atomic-Bom Rei.

I don’t necessarily do a lot of searching in Japanese, but when I’ve seen an item on a Japanese site and want more information, I’m usually forced to do so. For garage kits it’s almost impossible to find info on them in English, and then translation via Google is always suspect as well. I wish I could download Japanese into my head like in the Matrix or something.

My friend got a standard release one so it wasn’t so bad comparatively. Still high yes, but not Rin or Saber crazy.

I don’t do a lot of searching in Japanese, but with results like you find I’m gonna start doing it more. :3 And someone needs to make Atomic-Bom Rei into a figure. Preferable Alter, but Kotobukiya would also be acceptable.

And my choice of Sony was a not so obvious reference to MegaTokyo. The writer had an android character that was built by “Sony” as a next-gen PlayStation. Like Chi but you could also play games on her. Way cuter than Asmo (but as cute as not Drossel).

I’d tease your friend on the amount he spent on the Dollfie and less likely the Dollfie itself. They’re mad expensive, I can’t believe it. But I’m now jealous of your friend. I’m not sure if Rin was a lottery item, perhaps that explains some aspect of the high prices on eBay.

I think I’d go for the Bubba witch yuki where she’s sitting cutely. But Space Yuki is nice too, very nice bum if I recall correctly as well.

I’m not really sure why I think a Horo Bike Ver would work… I’m just into motorsports and getting Horo on something modern, powerful and just as sexy as her seemed like a win win situation for me. I just couldn’t think of a car that would work well.

Hmm Honda or Sony… Honda makes really reliable cars and machinery though, I used to have a 5.5 hp Honda motor on my go-kart, that thing probably still runs, and I got that thing originally 15 years ago, and it was used then! But Sony seems to have to neat dancing robots and such. Perhaps they should combine efforts? But I can definitely see your point, I don’t want to see Drossel looking as stupid as Asimo, poor little guy.

I saw the Atomic-Bom Rei a while back, I’m not really sure where, but finding her again was fairly simple when searching something like “綾波 レガレージキット” (Ayanami Rei Garage Kit) with Safe Search turned off of course.

The catgirl one I’m almost positive I originally saw on danbooru with absolutely no info at all given about it. Eventually saw it again like a year later on some Japanese website, so I started to just grab Japanese text surrounding the picture and start searching and searching. Eventually came across the creators site. So far as I know the figure is just named “Cat” or “Neko” or something.
