While we were walking around the Japanese Festival last weekend, we stumbled across a group of dollfie collectors. Theirs were all very cool – I think their ‘anime-style’ faces are the neatest part, although the detailed clothes are really neat too. Anyway, this group might setup a Meetup for dollfie owners in St. Louis.
Do you like dollfies? Let us know in the comments!

I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
You know, there’s like enough dollfies there to make a down payment on a house or something.
