Photo Shoot - Harley Chic 3.0 Creative Edition

I decided to get creative with the photos taken in my first Harley Chic 3.0 photoshoot by adding effects. The effect is known as "low contrast darken". Not sure if appropriate but the photos sure look different, lol.

Photo Shoot - Harley Chic 3.0 with Bike

It has been 10 months since I bought my Harley Chic and Otaku 1.2. Two weeks ago I decided to do some spring cleaning of the room and the result is a display table that is spick and span. Well not really because dust is accumulating everyday but at least the table can now double as a photo setup for dolls. BBI Perfect Body wearing Harley Chic 3.0 was the first to go on stage.

Triad Toys Harley Chic 3.0 outfit set includes

-1 Black Leather Motorcycle Jacket
-1 Black Leather Motorcycle Pants
-1 Pair Black Leather Boots with Bootfeet
-1 Black Tank Top with Front Zipper

Bike is Honda CBR 929RR from NewRay.

Our girl is holding a Desert Eagle, don't play play!

The gun is not part of the set. The outfit set itself can inflict enough damage already ($34.99 on Triad's website)

Triad Purchases - Otaku 1.2 and Harley Chic 3.0

On Sunday I finally got my Otaku 1.2 from my regular contact in CSC. Been waiting for weeks. And I'm slow because most of Singapore seem to have got it already.

Bought a Harley Chic 3.0 black at the same time. Let's see how this Triad clothing set will fit a Triad body.

Blowing Her Hot - Uncasing My Triad Toys Otaku Body

I blogged about my purchase of Triad Toys’ Otaku Body. After lying in state for a week, I decided to release her from the plastic mausoleum.

Initial impression:

• Her body is one solid mass and she feels like a brick in your hand. My other doll bodies are never this heavy.
  


• The matt skin is fantastic. It does not have the plasticky feel typical of other sixth scale dolls. It feels good when caressed. It looks good when photographed.
  


• True to general consensus, the joints are legendary stiff. Mine especially at the shoulder.
  


• The hair is top quality – Japanese saran from product description.



• The bikini is tight. It is immovable. I own other stock bikini figures and they are never this tight. The string strap is the reason, other figures use stretchable material for the strap.

Following general advice, I blew her hot with the hairdryer. I’m not sure of the correct technique, so I aimed the nozzle and blasted her joints with hot air.

Her joints must be pretty stiff because there was no significant improvement after some time. Maybe she should get a hot water bath?



The first round of hair drying is over. Vincent’s advice was to blow her across three different days. Frankly she did not loosen up significantly on my first attempt. I had broken the elbow of my Pivotal™ body Barbie before and she was more expensive than the Otaku (close to a hundred dollars). Now I handle the Otaku with trepidation.

Triad Toys Otaku Pale Body

Went for the much-anticipated Otaku Body this morning. First heard Vincent’s gonna stock her when I bought my Triad sailor uniform from him. Been a long wait since then; according to Vincent shipping had been a pain and expensive.

On Triad Toys website, the Otaku bodies retail for $29.99. Bought the pale version from Vincent at SGD50. Wonder how much I would be paying if order from Triad direct.





Mine is Otaku 1.0 Pale Body version, featuring:

• 25+ points of articulation


• 1 female anime head (yeah, her eyes are big) with Japanese saran hair.


• 1 pair of pistol grip hands


• 1 pair of fist hands


• 1 pair of relaxed hands


• 1 bikini top and bottom

Otaku bodies may have broken the record for the most expensive fragile body by a 1/6 manufacturer. From what I’ve read, the joints are rather brittle and she has broken the hearts of many who tried posing her or change her clothes. In fact, Vincent advised (cautioned) me to blow her three times over a few days to play safe. Let’s see how, I’m rather impatient when posing my sixth scale.



So this is Otaku Pale Body from Triad Toys. For official pictures, check out the product page.

First Foray into ZC Girl and Triad Toys

Scored a ZC Girl "EVE" Body (Pale) and a Triad Style New Skool Outfit at the CSC Flea Market. My first foray into the respective manufacturers.

I have to say the boss was quite friendly to me. You don't find many such people in CSC especially. I was told the Triad Otaku body may be coming at month's end. Hopefully can score one from him.

I'm a mini-collector (can't fight with the big players of course) of female bodies and I own a BBI Perfect Body Female. I'm not satisfied with the quality, honestly, and I want to see how Eve fares.

The size of her bust was also a consideration.






I bought the Triad Style outfit 'cos it looks cute. The outfit is obviously designed for 1:6 action figure bodies, so it will not fit my obitsus and Jennys nicely. I already have a sailor uniform from my Jenny collection, let's see how this one compares.

Apologies for the sloppy photos. I can't wait to get them photographed and my "professional" studio/stage for doll photography is packed with dolls now.
