Absolute love at first sight. When I first was introduced to Volks SD, one of the dolls that was a holy grail of sorts for me was Taisho Romance Megu. I was never able to find her. Now I have Alita though, and she is all the “Megu” I need, but I still find myself drawn to the traditionally dressed kimono-clad doll.
There was a version of Madoka that was released an edition of 40 with a kimono. I desperately wanted her. I preordered her, but then the seller I bought from was shorted Japanese Madoka, so I couldn’t get her! Then it became an quest to find Western Madoka instead. I preordered with Masamichi, however, I heard rumblings that Volks may sell out at the Korean Dolpa before filling their “after event” orders. I was sure that I would somehow “miss out again”. My sweet friend Susan saw one for sale and was so worried that I would miss out (I was really worried too!) that she got it for me as a suprise! (I paid her for it, don’t worry!) In the end, THIS Madoka ended up being FAR more special to me than the Japanese kimono Madoka would have been. Her makeup is gorgeous, and I’m really glad that I ended up with her.
Also, when Madoka was released I was creating a short animated film, and when I saw a photo of Madoka… she immediately struck me as my character somehow. I love everything about Madoka, she may be the most beautiful doll I own.
Volks site said this about her, that she was a secluded girl who went to a women’s institute in Kamakura. She usually wore kimono, but “today” she went out in special clothes. She dreams of the outside world and wonders what encounter awaits her. Her heart is shaking like the flower in her hat.
