Strawberry Milk Tea

In the excitement of Baby the Stars Shine Bright Coming to America, I received a cute little surprise but never had the chance to write about his arrival.

I had fallen for the Super Dollfie Cute line of dolls from Volks a while ago. And what is there not to love-a highly articulated body that makes for easy posing and a sweet backstory that is somehow connected to Tenshi No Sato.

Initially I had dismissed Toki as cute but not a must have and his default outfit way too similar to the omukae (welcoming) outfits that can be purchased with the Full Choice System. But then something happened. I saw redrosin 's Toki in person and loved his sweet face that was so similar to Reisner and I knew I had to bring him home.

I had heard that he was still available on the Volks International Site so I wasn't to worried about getting him. But as my luck would have it,  lots of other people had discovered his charms and was listed as unavailable (aka sold out). A week later as I was about to bid on his head on Yahoo Japan Auctions Daniel Falls contacted me with news that a Toki came up on the international site.

So in a split decision I purchased him in a very choreographed cyberdance that involved Daniel Fall's releasing him from his shopping cart and me clicking on him to purchase before someone else bought him. In four days, he arrived on my doorstep.

Raphael, as I have chosen to name him, is much cuter in person with rosy lips that appeared stained by brightly colored candy and a mischevous look on his face. And the default outfit I had so casually dismissed is adorable. It even comes with antique style knickers-How cute is that???

But enough gushing, here are a few pics of the mysterious messenger from Tenshi No Sato:

And the day he arrived, I had a PM waiting in my inbox at Den of Angels from Red Rosen:

and...

(Toki next Reisner-see the similarities!)

I love my doll friends. They are all awesome, if somewhat crazy, people that I am truly fortunate to have in my life. And as for Raphael, he has settled in quite nicely with my other dolls, becoming very good friends with Mai.
