Dakimakuras anyone?

I actually posted a comparison photo for fakes and original in the previous page, why no one looked, boggles my mind.

Perhaps my question should have been what is the difference between a doujin cover and a bootleg one?

Sorry, I misinterpreted your question, Official dakimakuras are always manufactured by companies who license corresponding anime franchises like cospa for example.
Doujins on the otherhand are done mostly by fans. Typically these are released during comiket and sometimes available via web order.

The main difference is that licensed dakimakuras always have restrictions on how the character is depicted, depending on the franchise, the most they will show is nipples but not genitalia.They have very choices when it comes to fabric where it's normally smooth knit or polyester suede. 2WT Lycra is picking up though.

Doujins are unrestricted by most will still conceal genitalia, there are a small handful where they will draw completely uncensored artwork, which is the kind that I love most. Coincidentally, these uncensored dakimakuras are extremely popular, and they fetch a high price in auctions. Furthermore, they come in a large variety of materials, nowadays most are made from 2WT/2WT Lycra or 2WR. And currently, only one doujin circle uses 4WT, undeniably the most durable fabric.

Now about bootlegs, these normally are knockoffs of both licensed and doujin dakimakuras, their print quality will almost be assured to be less colorful and detailed as the original. And they are always made with peachskin polyester because it's one of the cheapest fabric currently. In short, it's pretty much : "what you pay, is what you get".Look back one page and you can see comparison photos which I put up.

I just gotten my new batch of dakis from YJA and Amiami

Waffle's eroge line of dakimakura.Grabbed 2 copies from amiami.






This dakimakura has one side Siesta and the other my beloved busty elf Tiffania.




I finally found my long lost Mio.

Some very nice new additions; that Mio cover was one of my first dakimakura covers, and is still probably one of my favorites.

I just recently got a new batch myself, I'll have to take some pictures sometime.

I have 3 dakimakuras and all were bonus items. I have maid Tama-nee from To Heart 2 AD Plus, Tama-nee china dress version and Kanu from Koihime Musuo. Maid Tama-nee was a dvd bonus and the other 2 were mag bonuses.
Tame-nee china dress version
Kanu

LOL, I have those 3 as well.But Kanu is definitely not a magazine freebie, this is Cospa's.

Sorry, I have never taken mine out of the package and I thought that was it, it turns out this is it.

This Sasara dakimakura is the only two sided genuine dakimakura I own. I have two others, but they are the one-sided kind you find in Dengeki G Festival magazines.

I wanna buy that Clannad Kyou Dakimakura QAQ
any links?

@ShimaPantsu: You got fine taste man. I got Sasara as well, she's a good hug.





Kyou dakimakura? I don't see any in the previous pages?

The Kanu and Sasara dakis are so sexy!

I did see one on a site which I clicked a link on one of the post, damn she was showing her aa *dat ass face*

Right back at ya, man. Dat feel when waking up next to a dakimakura.
I'd like this one but its sold out where I found it:

Ah, I had seriously considered that one myself; especially when they re-released it in Roika, which I prefer far more than the initial Smooth Knit release.

A quick look around at sites I normally get covers from didn't bring up any results, but if you'd like I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I ever see it pop up. Do have to warn you though, that unless it gets another release, you're likely to pay a good chunk more than the retail price.

seems to be this one, I guess. Use a deputy service to get it for you.

If not that one, the only other one I can think of that would meet his criteria is from Ask (Doh, wasn't thinking, that one is from Ask, but they also did another Kyou dakimakura cover some time ago.) Which would probably be a lot harder to find.

Thanks man :D
I need to collect money naow

For all those who don't know of this site I found a Japanese blog dedicated to dakimakura info: 埋もれる抱き枕er I found it useful and even added it to my RSS feed.

Edit: Apparently the link doesn't really work so just search for "埋もれる抱き枕er"
