The Volks Momoko Ryugasaki Doll.

Just to warn you...

She was limited to 100 dolls, comes up very rarely on auction, and generally costs well over $2,000 when she does. =^^=;;

 

I love this girl, too. But alas, she is a rare one..

I would advise you to stick like glue to YJ. I've seen two go up for bids in the past month or so. But as Valentine has pointed out, she usually goes for $2k+.

 

as a side note, that movie indeed rocks~ *yells* this too! jusco! *strikes a pose*

 

Wasn't there a Momoko up on YJ currently/not too long ago? I'm pretty sure someone posted her in hopes of splitting the doll for her dress.

 

Yah, the auction ended the other day - unfortunately, I don't think the winner was anyone on DoA.

 

Aw, too bad. There is a Momoko on DOA though, I forget who owns her.

 

^_^;;; I've actually recently seen her go for $3,000, not $2,000. ^^; $1,000 will get two people roundtrip tickets to Japan, so I would imagine that one person could go to Japan for 1/2 of the cost of the doll and stay fairly well for a few days. @_@;

 

Sorry for the tangent, but has there ever been sightings in the wild for the accompanying doll, Ichigo Shirayuri? She's based on Cyndy, but she's even surlier than Cyndy. *makes grabby motions*

 

Who? What!? Show me...!

 

I was under the impression that they only dressed up a Cyndy as Ichigo for photo shoots + publicity, not actually as a doll to sell.

 

yeah. thta cyndy was a one off.

 

Awww, dabnabbit. I've only seen her in the second Volks softcover book. So that's why she's not on Volks' site anywhere that I can see. Time to sew that outfit and find pink sunglasses somewhere and roll my own Ichigo. XD

 

Actually I have a Cyndy and the wig that they showed Ichigo in as a sample and yes, that's the doll! I had plans to make the outfit - the pink sunglasses are tough though...

 

There are big beautiful pictures of both Momoko and Ichigo in The SD Bible. And god I love that movie!!! I've been waiting for the DVD forever.

 

Has anyone got pictures they could post...?

 

I love Momoko... she's so cute. :grin: I believe the Japanese movie title was "Shimotsuma Story" or something along those lines, in case you were still wondering.

 

Yuzuko has a lovely Momoko

I found some photos on her diary

I believe these are the official Volks pictures:

I love her face mold, and I hope someday they'll use it again for a somewhat less limited doll.

I have one picture of Cindy dressed as Ichigo :grin:
