Dakimakuras anyone?

You can almost see the tumbleweeds rollin' through this thread as of late. What's everyone been up to? Anyone have their eyes on a particular cover, make any new cover purchases, etc.?

Got this today:


I'll upload more pictures when the cover is dry, washed it today.
I thought it would never find the way home, tracking said it's in Turkey waiting for delivery :S

Currently have my eyes on the Polyphonica rerelease, but I must pass, gotta save some money for winter Comiket ^^

I've been really busy with playing world of warcraft with the new MoP expansion having just been released and haven't had as much time for dakimakura browsing ;(

Did find today that bwstore have a whole bunch of nice covers incoming sometime soon:

I particularily like the Type01 one and expect I'll want to get it after seeing the finished image. The Type09 is tempting too, who wouldn't want a cute cover with some weird small cute eyeball+tentacle monster fingering a girl's ass??

Purchases wise, I ordered their tsubasa hanekawa cover which is getting a rerelease too.

@Exokiel very interested to see the full version!

How are you enjoying it? I haven't really played WoW that seriously in years (most active in vanilla, spent a good deal of time with TBC/WotLK, basically played Cataclysm for a month while I leveled two characters to 85 via Archaeology), but I always enjoyed it. I haven't really liked the direction they've gone in overall but it was still fun unless you got into the wrong mindset.

Anyhow, I'm definitely keeping my eye on the BWStore stuff; when they first published the image for No 1 I was really excited. Then a few days later they made a post where they announced 8 more covers; it was pretty crazy to see. I wonder if they'll offer a discount if you purchase all 9, but the point is moot since not all of them appeal to me. Number 9 is new, though. :O I had just checked like 3-4 hours ago and didn't see it, but I did make note of number 7 with the dogs. >_> As it stands, the only one I don't really care for is 8, but if they offer a good enough deal on all of them, I might be tempted.

Also, there's a potentially interesting option here:
SMJ has expanded and is offering limited support for Taiwanese sites. The price in Taiwan for these covers is 2600 NTD, or about $90. While SMJ is testing out the Taiwanese deputy service, there aren't any service fees. Unless I'm missing something here, I'd say that ordering through SMJ (assuming they'll take the order) will be a good deal cheaper, even with shipping, than the 12000 yen (~$152) price we'd pay otherwise.

I've been playing wow as a somewhat hardcore raider in a 25man guild since TBC. Did play a bit in vanilla too but only totally casually and stopped fairly soon. I'm now the raid leader of my guild so I've been extra busy with making sure everyone is adequately prepared for the new raids (which have 16 bosses.. so a lot to do). So far, I and my guildmates are really happy with MoP, everyone agrees it's generally a lot better than Cata (except perhaps for the amount of dailies they want you to do) once you get over any kungfu-panda related hangups about the concept.

Yeah number 8 is my least favourite too. At first glance (really fast glance, I can see she has breasts :p) I thought it might be a guy even, reminded me of that purple haired guy in Gundam 00, which is probably why it doesn't appeal to me ;( May look a lot better colored though, shall wait and see.

Hmm that's really interesting about the SMJ taiwanese option. I'll have to check that out.

Here you go:

Also, anything that is priced at $35.

Nice exo! I love the backside of that cover! :D



LOL totally! So many eBay sellers...

That's a real nice cover exokiel. The backside is epic. :)

Personally I've been very busy lately so I've only been popping in every couple of days. Formatted and updated 3+ PC's, had a few birthdays in the way, built a shelf, etc.

In terms of covers so I only have 2 on the way. One is set for November release, which is the Toranoana cover, and one set for late October which is the Momo cover from Movic. Looking forward to both, especially the Toranoana one. :)

I wasn't sure how the backside would turn out as there are very few pictures online, but I made the right choice, really turned out as a great cover ^^ Now the game only needs to be released :)

Which toranoana cover?

Well there's no point in going further with this since you still fail to understand. Like I said, truth hurts. You think I look foolish, but you're the one who can't seem to understand. Look at all the fanbois. Trying to make opinion look like fact and then becoming upset because someone else doesn't share their views. So you're telling me ios is better than android or vice versa? Or a PS3 is better than an Xbox360 or vice versa? Or any other crazy fan comparisons? Do I really need to explain why people think that way?

I can speak so much more about what you said about #1, but there's no point. See, even dfan is misunderstanding the situation, which was my intention of the post. You can always argue that the sky is not blue, or any other facts are not true. You can bring in situations to try to make the fact not true (like clouds for the sky), but it doesn't mean you are right.

Your #2 I mentioned already, and I had no problems with that. You're just re-iterating what I said.



It mainly started because I read a bunch of posts and saw some misinformation. I normally don't say anything (and haven't on the other topics), but it seems this bootleg stuff seemed to have fired some people up and was a more heated topic. I decided to chime in.

There were a couple posts (but I don't feel like going back) that have people saying they wanted to support and that they bought at YJA. Also I know a lot of people have started using them. Also reading some of the replies to my post, you can see that some people don't agree with what we said. Alamarco seems to think otherwise.

So aren't you actually agreeing with me? You also agreed with me on your edit since I was the one who said a sale is already a sale. However, just because something is not mass produced (as was mentioned) doesn't mean you can make exceptions.

Basically my whole point was if you aren't buying from the artist or an authorized seller directly, you aren't actually supporting them. It is just like informing people of bootlegs, and any other information that some people may not realize. If something you want to buy is stolen, tends to be defective, causes issues, etc, wouldn't you want to know? Isn't this what this board is about? A place to talk and share information? I sure would like to know if I didn't already. Wouldn't anyone else?

Regardless, I just wanted to give some insight on the uninformed and correct those who thought otherwise. Whether you want to think you are correct, fine. That's cool. Just like arguing spiders don't have 8 legs due to mutation or injury. I like to try to be thorough, so I try to give examples, instead of just making random statements with nothing else to go by. The problem is the posts will become way too long, which my posts normally are. So I generally don't post often in places because I can't say everything that I want. And then what happens? People misunderstand, misinterpret, and so forth.

But yes, we should go back to talking about dakimakuras instead of arguing with each other.

This is the toranoana cover:





This is exactly why you look like a fool.

You do nothing but avoid the issue and keep talking high and mighty. You talk about fanboys. You talk about iOS. You talk about gaming consoles. Yet you do not talk about the issue at hand.

You post no facts and keep avoiding it by posting irrelevant topics. You need to learn how to convey yourself before acting high and mighty. Just saying that everyone besides you fails to understand proves nothing except your arrogance and inability to prove your point.

You act like the typical elitist. You try to put everyone else down who does not agree with your methods, yet you can't back up your methods and continue to talk about irrelevant topics. I find this type of post to be the funniest. It provides a good laugh.

Those are just previews and the preorder will be through http://www.bwstore.com.tw/ ?

Yup that's correct. Thanks for the pics, glad I ordered the cover too now!

Gladly at your service :) I'm happy that my pictures helped you on your decision.

Still waiting for the A&J body and 2 more covers :F
Did you guys hear about that WoW mass death exploit?

I forgot to post pics when i got it but here they are now, instead of a dakimakura the To Heart2 Dungeon Travelers dvds came with cloth posters, here is the Tame-nee one.


and my Reina from Queens Blade mini daki

So jealous you got that cover, Alamarco! And I can't believe I missed it twice! :(

Speaking of Toranoana, I should be getting my desk mat and a Marks cover in in this week from SMJ, a couple covers from Mandrake, and I should be getting my Rachel Alucard covers from Evening Call soon too. :D

OMG it feels so damn good to have just about everything paid off:

Yeah I heard about it, didn't happen on my server though.

Haha, the small Reina one is cute.

Awww shit, too many great ones coming next, I must decide :<

Any info if this will get a release: http://www.pixiv.net/member_illust.php?mode=medium&illust_id=30625126

Currently I'm after those two:

Hmm, I see that you all use SMJ, what is the difference compared to yokatta or other services?
