The Dollhouse: Issue 1: Finally!

About 2 years ago I ran an article about the Dollfie hobby here on the site, I really didn't think a ton of it at the time, figured that maybe with any luck one day I might get my hands on one of the dolls to add to my Anime collectibles. When I went back and checked the stats for the site a few months later I was shocked at the volume of hits on that single article. So I did more research and found out how deep this hobby runs, since then my girlfriend and roomates have gotten interested in making clothes for the dolls, so I decided to start running a feature article for the hobby every other week.

Happy Holidays!

Just wanting to wish all my readers a Happy Holidays! Please have a safe and wonderful time with your family and friends!

Life And Holidays

Hey folks, sorry there hasn't been much new content here the last week or so, I have had sick roomates, girlfriend and toddler, and that has been making for a less than ideal posting schedule. Anyways that all being said, I am working on a pre Christmas surprise for the site, then we are kinda in hibernation until mid next week.

Thanks for your patience.

Preview for the week of 12/13/2010

Ok, last week was a minor victory all things considered, I managed to get the VIZ Media Manga app review posted, given how crazy my life has been that was an accomplishment in of itself.

That all being said, here is the preview for the coming week:

Wed: Gundam Garage will finally make its debut with an introduction to SD Gundam, and my own project journal.

Thur: The Dollhouse kicks off with an article on getting started in the hobby, with some useful links and tips

You will see that the Friday figure news update isn't listed, I am having some issues with getting the informaton reliably in English at the moment, I am working on a resolution, until then we will just be going with the two feature posts a week.

REVIEW: iPad Manga App from VIZ Media

When the iPad was announced one of the first things I thought was "Man this would be a nice way to read Manga on the go" not that it would ever replace my softbound collection, but having a mobile option I could just throw in a bag that could store a batch of volumes would make long trips that much easier.

So here comes VIZ Media with one of the first options for building your virtual Manga collection, so how does it stack up compared to owning the real thing, join me past the jump and find out!

Preview for the week of 11/29/2010

Ok first off, yes I am aware that this is being posted on Wednesday, I was sick the last two days and wasn't able to look at the monitor without feeling sick sadly. That being said we still have a lot to cover this week:

Wed: As promised, a review of the iPad Manga reader from Viz.

Thur: Again the two new articles make their feature debut The Dollhouse with an article on getting started in the hobby, with some useful links and tips, and Gundam Garage takes a look at the world of SD Gundam kits, and I begin my first kit build journal!

Fri: We'll take a look at all the latest figure release news and notes.
