Dakimakuras anyone?

This Mink dakimakura looks great. She has an alluring appeal to her. I'll have to keep an eye out. I don't see a larger image out for her yet.

Hmm, I've been looking for the following ones to no avail for a while now, if anyone spots them around let me know please (in particular the first one)!

Damn, that larger image is very nice. Almost has me sold now. Only down side is gotta make quick decision as time is running out. She looks so smooth. :)

I like the first girl more then the blonde, boobs too puny.

Still nothing from Yokotta regarding Carnelian. It's so silly to sit around seeing so many of that cover on YJA and yet being told in the face:"It ain't arrived in our Warehouse yet" or "It's being send out in waves" Sheesh!

Just got a pair of new covers.Nothing extravagant this time round.

I just got my Official C.C Dakimakura from Taiwan. Imo, theirs no real difference between it and the Japanese one, just that the Japanese one is much more rarer and collectable. The material feels like my nike sweatpants as a comparison.

You forgot to flip over Dizzy!

I checked carnelian's website and found this:

Honestly finding it hard to be completely sure what's said with googletranslate, but I can at least see that there was more pillow covers ordered than expected, and there was some delay at the factory due to lack of fabric or something. Which caused it to be postponed til February. Then the 8th of Feb post is perhaps saying that it's gradually getting shipped out as each batch finished production. Either way it seems to be manufacturer delays rather than shipping stuff or Yokatta being bad... maybe.

Actually, I already taken shots of Dizzy when I first got her.I'm showing only Otoha. When I meant Pair, I meant 2 copies of the Otoha(Black Hair gal). Sorry if it was confusing.

And yeah, I did read Carnelian's message but the delay was mostly due to the fact the Tapestries also came from the same factory. Now the problem was that unless you order the Tap like I did, you shouldn't have to wait so long for your cover.

Edit: I found Dizzy's shot on page 25. This thread has been moving to fast these past few months.

I imagine Yokatta probably grouped the orders together that we (and perhaps others) made since Carnelian was charging the same amount of shipping for every 3 items.

Edit: Yokatta just mailed me to say it arrived, yay!

Yen super weak atm! Get your orders in boys ^_^.

I just hope it gets even weaker. >_>
Back when I first started buying shit in 2010, the rate was at like 90. D:

We can hope my friend, so silly how expensive it has become

Just got my B&W Store order. Haven't opened up either yet, but the just looking at the face of each, the print quality of the Sena is a bit under par. You can see the individual pixels up close on both, but that's fairly common on any cover, but Sena also appears to be a bit rough around the edges.

After having opened Laura, I really like the feel of the new material but it has a few minor knicks and such in the cloth already; like those little pieces you get sticking out after a cover has been used for some time. I really like the art for the cover, but the proportions are a bit disappointing (always one of my biggest complaints of company covers), she has a good 2-4 inches of space both on top and bottom.

Nice! Thanks for the heads up. Repped!
Sash and I were talking about this earlier. Let's just hope that our respective invoices reflect it. ;)

My Sena didn't have any knicks that I could see on the material, it was just print issues for me. I'm kinda glad that the Laura sounds like the print quality is better than Sena since it gives me more confidence for their future releases, though I'm still of course sad at how Sena turned out. After you open your Sena up I'd be really interested to hear how you feel it compares in quality to Laura and if you think it's particularily bad or if I just got a really bad one (maybe I should complain to BWStore and see what happens).

Part 24 of my collection is up now too.

The material feels fine, really. Feels about the same, if not the same, as the Laura. When you were talking about print quality I assumed you were talking about the overall image clarity and such, which does appear a bit rough around the edges. But the actual material feels great.

*Faints* Doesn't seem to me.>_>

Just got this one this morning:


74 is still an absolutely terrible rate, but I like it a whole lot more than the 70-1 I've been getting for the last few weeks. D:

You'll see there that big drop to what we have! Hopefully it keeps dropping!

It's the best now that it's been in at least like 6 months

Yeah the material seems very nice. Theprint qualities may be a result of the source image just being bad, the worst part to me is the shading on her breasts on the maid side. Looking at it up close it's a mix of all kinds of colors like a slightly corrupted jpeg or like the original image was saved to a lower quality format and got artifacted. It does look correct from afar still.

And the takumimakura covers arrived today, haven't opened yet but they look very good from within the plastic (as I expected, since I have some of their previous ones too). The bonus artbook is very nice, having full page images of all the phonecard pictures is a nice touch.

I swear Yokotta hates me, I have no info regarding my carnelian stuff.
