Thanks for the links Shashin! I have a few too but they're on my home pc not work one so can't link atm.
Hi! I was busy raiding in WoW and doing assorted things ;< I also haven't much to contribute now either, aside from that I also hope they sort out paypal sooner rather than later! Alice one is really nice too, surprised that's still in stock.
Do you guys ever try to browse for proper pictures of released dakimakura? In general there's not much point searching english sites, but for browsing japanese ones I find that searching for "character name (in japanese) æŠ±ãæž•ã‚«ãƒãƒ¼ (dakimakura) blog" gives best results. Possibly adding in C81 or whatever event it came from too. I have limited success with this approach but it fails outright for a lot of dakimakura. Anyone got any suggestions for any better search terms/tactics?
And on that topic, here're pics I found of that ninja girl daki I got from comiket, http://blog.livedoor.jp/nemyii/archives/5672211.html god I can't wait for her to arrive.

I just put my full name down twice in english (though the first kanji one had a character limit it exceeded.. after I made the account I was able to edit it with my full name on the edit page which had no character limit).

Thanks, seems to be working for me too now. Hmm, 5000exp to level up (or 5 dakimakuras worth), wonder what kind of discounts/bonuses you get after first level :p
Hmm, currently their FAQ says "International Shipping is available, we will only support bank transfers in Japan until the introduction of payment paypal." So yay international shipping, but how does one go about doing a bank transfer payment? Or maybe the paypal support will be soon available so it won't be an issue. I wasn't planning on getting that touhou 2P, but with the date going as far as late february I may be able to afford it afterall.

Quick question -So now that I have owned my first daki (posted a page or two in this thread),
I'd like to know what's a good basis on starting collecting daki? Where should I start? Websites? Learning about quality of the daki. I'd find I'd be an interesting hobby to start collecting it.
Any suggestions would help a lot. Thanks.

The most useful website for collecting dakimakura is http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/ which gives info on all the upcoming releases (many require a proxy service to get though as they won't ship internationally). http://ww.nijigenshingu.info/makura/log/index.html is also good, and has info on other cloth products as well (tapestries/normal pillow cases).
Shops like www.amiami.com www.1999.co.jp/eng/ www.hlj.com www.otacute.com etc all stock some dakimakura, though they tend to be ones based on anime which are usually lower quality images (done according to anime character designs which are simple due to the need of being animated..). Though lately they've been getting some by proper artists in stock too. They go by different names in different shops, so try searching "huggable pillow" or "hugging pillow" if "dakimakura" doesn't give results.
Yahoo Japan Auctions, Mandarake, and possibly Rakuten Auctions are useful places to check for dakimakura you can't find at a store or webform (either because they're no longer in stock or were never available except via special events in the first place). You will need to learn some copy-pasting of stuff from the above dakimakura blog in order to find what it is you want. If you ask for help on specific dakimakura info we'll be happy to help you with finding it of course.
Yeah no mention of the poster on Getchu so it's probably a lilith-shop exclusive to make people buy it from there. That's pretty common for webshops which also let the main stores sell their goods. E.g. the Axia sousou dakimakura from the Axia store comes with a telephone card while has no card from Amiami/HS/HLJ.

Unfortunately a single person won't be able to achieve all that much. It would only really work on items which everyone wants, and even then often not since they only sell a limited number of copies to a single person (you can queue a 2nd time to buy them again, but you are obviously not queuing for something else you want at that point then). It does work for unpopular things though which still have stock by the end of the day, but most of the popular things sell out in the first few hours (by 12 or 1pm usually). Corporate booths tend to have a bit more stock than that, but still often sell out of popular items in the first day. Still, one person being there might be able to acquire 1 or 2 items for other people to save some costs. And assuming I do attend one in 2013 I'll be happy to try and get anything other people want, with no guarantees on success of course.
And back on the topic of dakimakura... ordered that cute foxgirl (the version without silicone implants), and my comiket purchases are preparing for shipping to me now, yay! I hope Clochette is slow with putting Fuuka up for order from their webshop so my wallet has some time to recover :(
Hmm, but it's not really a win-win situation considering the cost of flying to and fro Japan plus food and lodging.
Speaking of Clochette, did ja see Mishio is going up for 19k currently and still going. Damn glad I was able to pre-order the box, which is now in SMJ's warehouse already. Once my 2nd Fuuka comes in, I'll have it shipped with my Sena and Sofmap box.
Lol true, but comiket aside, going to japan is great fun and worth the expense alone. This'll be my third time going this April, I'm going at that unusual time as I'm combining it with a trip to the Philippines for attending my grandmother's 90th birthday, as the increase in travel costs isn't too high then (though still accomodation of course).
Ah I hadn't been checking prices on it, glad I got it on the preorder price too then as she really looks lovely and 19k for only the daki without the other extras is really more than I can justify paying. I'll probably not be having it shipped until Carnelian's daki arrives too, which is meant to be "Mid January" whenever that will end up being.
Hmm the boob foxgirl material is 2WAY Tricot (Spandex) and searching on the blog for just spandex gives the following: http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/?s=%E3%82%B9%E3%83%91%E3%83%B3%E3%83%87%E3%83%83%E3%82%AF%E3%82%B9 So perhaps it's similar to that used by Evening Call? Also on the later pages, they have a bunch listed as "Roica (polyester+spandex)" so maybe it's like Roica too? I'm not really sure :< There doesn't seem to be any direct match for 2way tricot (spandex).
Or if anyone has any of INSERT's dakimakura it may be the same material as those, since those have the same manufacturer too http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/?s=%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B5%E3%83%92%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BF%E3%83%BC%E3%83%8A%E3%82%B7%E3%83%A7%E3%83%8A%E3%83%AB (Asahi International manufacturer search).
Moeyo has some pics of that lovely Axia Sousou daki too from Comiket http://www.moeyo.com/2012/01/comike81_cospanion_axia.html

I'm already going in April so I think 2 trips in one year is a bit too much for me :( Maybe next year though! If you do go, can we unload shopping lists on you to frantically search for at Comiket?!1 Also pm me if you are sure you're going and I'll give you some general advice on attending comiket, akihabara etc..
Typically it's the last 3 days of december (29-31) and around the middle of August (12-14 last year iirc, and should be similar this year). I would recommend the winter one for your first time, as the heat in August combined with that many people must be terrible.. I've only been to the winter one and when indoors (you do spend some time queuing outside) it was already a bit too hot even with just a tshirt on. Adding another 25+degrees celcius to the temperature is not going to be pleasant.
Oh and my Ange cover is by BWStore too (though I got it via boncool when they had 1 pop into stock months after the original release) and the quality is nice indeed.

Hmm, the maker of the boobless version is AJ while it's Asahi International for the boob one, I guess AJ do not approve of implants!

Heh, I feel obligated to buy one of these:
The wrinkles around the base of the silicon boobs would put me off if I had it I think. Little things like that annoy me ;< I may have to get the normal dakimakura version though, striped thighhighs are one of my "few" weaknesses.

Hmm, the girl with white hair has sunken nipples while the one on the daki seems to be a different girl.>_>
99% sure it's the same girl, it's certainly a game from the softhouse-seal GRANDEE line (as indicated in the upper corner).
Going by the character lists of those games there's only one character who appears to match her:
http://softhouse-seal.com/product/g-001/character.html (first game, none of these match)
http://softhouse-seal.com/product/g-002/chara.html (4th one here is her I think, this is also the same name given for the dakimakura ones)
So I think it is her, though I do agree the dakimakura covers give off a slightly different feel to her.
Oh and I was wrong about the red haired girl, it's Takara Tsukino from that 2nd game not Kirishima Misaki from the first game... The magical girl daki is Tsukino, while the other one is Misaki. I should pay more attention to the names before I post incorrect info :p

BTW
Does willow or anyone know if there's a dakimakura for either of these girls? I think I saw the red hair one somewhere.
Lol, actually that red haired girl is the sister of the fourth (also red haired) one I just linked in http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/7293 And the white haired girl is the 3rd one there too (which is available in their webstore). As for dakimakura of that particular red haired girl, there's two of them I know of:
http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/5154 with a magical girl side
http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/4704
Neither of them are available from the webstore though, so it'll have to be auctions. Both have auctions in the 14000 range on YJA. There's also bootlegs of the non-magical girl version for sale there too.
There's also a 2nd (rarer/older) one of the white haired girl:
http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/4290
As for the right hand card, I'm not sure who that one is.
Kobun, how did you order those 2 dakimakura? As far as I can tell their pre-order period long since expired and the bwstore shop no longer lets you place orders for ones that have passed? (Not interested in those two in particular, just for how to do it in general).

I'd get a male sexy one but he better not be doing anything perverted. Maybe a sensual pose but thats as far as I go to criteria. Also I dont want many. Just one. One regular pillow or a long character made one is okay...Male ones are a lot rarer and also tend to be more restrained than the female ones have gotten. Generally only having maybe an open shirt or none at worst from what I've seen.
I too only wanted 1 when I started though, but after seeing how lovely it was in the flesh, I quickly started rolling down this slippery slope.
Yeah Zengar, would be nice if they'd swap to doing them as 2way tricot at last :< But the quality of their smooth knits has been pretty high, as smooth knits go.

Looks like 3 of the 4 dakimakura I got from Comiket will be getting webshop releases, I feel stupid now ;( One even includes the company comiket bag which the auction didn't include. Sad times :( Ah well, at least they arrive a bit earlier this way..So what were they? Out of curiosity sake.
2 of mine was Fuuka which I knew would be sold via web order eventually, but heck I got them for 13.9 and 12k respectively so I'm cool.
I blew 59k for 2 of Marks Sena but at least they are going to be exclusive.
I'm still contemplating on Tony's daki, I like the art awful lot but the material had to be smooth knit.
I may invest in Sena's blanket though.
The top 2 on http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/7293 (would also have liked the fourth one but there's only been like 2 of them on auction for too high a price for me, and it's not going to be sold at the webshop either).
This one is the third http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/7071
And then this one is the one that isn't getting a webshop release yet - though quite unlikely to ever as baseson never did for their koihime ones either. http://blog.åŸ‹ã‚‚ã‚Œã‚‹æŠ±ãæž•er.jp/archives/7359 For any fans of Hinata Katagiri's art btw, Dengeki G`s Festival COMIC Vol.22 is also going to have a dakimakura of this girl (Tokugawa Yoshine, from Appare!! Tenka Gomen baseson's newest game).
I'm also planning to get Fuka too when they release her on their webshop, and considering the Saber/Extra daki on bwstore by sadakofxe (same circle who did the ange I linked recently) too...
