Nana - L049 #12

32. What made you choose your SD out of all the various types?

 
 Actually I wanted a SD Kira first, but I couldn't afford her. I love the Mini Mika too but  she was sold out and limited edition, I decided to settle for Myu. But after staring at Myu / Mika for a long time, I realized that its just do or die and get a Mika. XD So I waited instead for the Ken re-release as a standard model.

 
On Too's case it was "kyute !!!" first time I saw him but he was only like fifth in my to get list but after several coincidences and luck, Rhia finally has her friend home !

 
In Nana's case, my first SD love is the sisters head. I love it so much ! After getting Rhia and more knowledge on SDs, decided that the SD Nana would be more suitable (her defaults and a bad exp with waffle wigs ^^;;) . The fact that her original name was what I intended for my girl too was perfect ^__^ 

 Aichii was supposed to come last after all her older siblings have arrived. But man plans, heaven decides ne ! (literally!) When I first saw her pictures I knew I had to get her right now (she was a Limited) instead of waiting as she bears a family resemblance to Rhia (and Nana and Riku). It was then impossible to not get her especially when I could afford her ! I've always wanted a chibi angel too and when the opportunity came by I just grabbed it~

 Riku - When SD Ken and Mika was released I didn't like the Mika's 'look' at first, I guess because its the blonde hair ^^;; But Ken we loved XD After awhile the girl idea grew on us and supposedly SDC Kaede was to fill in Riku's place but SD Mika type head proved to be the one we love more so there... ^^; Now to get her a body...

 [ future ]
 
 
KenKen - it was whambangboom from first sight ^__^ He's the one for me even after so many years. Every time I see a picture of a Shirou I'm melted goo...  (I'm still working on getting him !)

33. Do you change your SD's wig often and have you tried styling the wigs?

34. How many wigs do you have?

 
 Uhm, about 09 between them... -__- (yes, among 5 heads !! ^^;)
