Yamato VMF50s are finally here
Posted: Fri Feb 03, 2012 7:34 pmYamato USA has four of the VMF50 Original Character Image Girls in stock.
In chronological order of their original release, Miu (Type B), Risa (Type D), Miki (Type B), and Yumi (Tan Type E). Except for first OCIG girl Miu (which was only sold as a full set), the other three dolls were originally sold in Japan with only a face-up and body blushing, no accessories. The dolls being sold on Yamato USA are full sets, which include a face-up, body blushing, wig, clothes, and shoes.
Brace yourselves. Deep breaths...
Prices run from $799 to $929.
When you've recovered your consciousness, remember that these are full sets and with the extras included the prices are not out of line, especially considering the current horrid dollar to yen exchange rate. Four years ago when the exchange rate was closer to $1 = 100yen, they would have been $150 to $200 less. There's no denying they are expensive, but they are here (no international shipping) and without an endless string of proxy charges running up the actual final price.

As a reality check, the last VMF50 I purchased (Original Concept Image Girl #8 ERI) from Yamato Japan (not on YJA) was back in September 2011. She came with the face-up, body blushing, and an extra pair of hands, no wig, no clothes. The final price after fees and shipping was about $675.
