Rika Furude Dakimakura Surprise!~

You will snuggle with me~

There are two things that have prevented me from purchasing a dakimakura in the past.

1. The outrageous price.
2. Very few dakimakura designs appeal to me.

With that said, a few weeks ago while watching the third episode of Higurashi Rei, I was doing some research and was made aware of a certain Rika dakimakura that would come bundled with the Limited Edition DVD of the third episode of Rei. At 104 dollars, the price was no laughing matter, but temptation got the best of me, and I decided to go ahead and purchase it. There were a few factors I used to justify this otherwise outrageous purchase. I reasoned with myself that dakimura cost upwards to 100 dollars to begin with, so the fact that this bundle comes with the actual Higurashi Rei DVD would only be a plus, after all, I wasn’t buying the DVD for the pillowcase. That would be absurd…= P

In any case, it ended up being a huge impulse buy that I soundly regretted later. Even so, I buckled down and accepted my sordid mistake and vowed never to buy otaku goods on a whim ever again; a bitter lie, coming from a man without a cent left in his pocket. In the end after I finally received the shipment, I ended up being quite happy with my purchase. Don’t get me wrong, snuggling with a Rika dakimakura is something I have only DREAMED of, but a poor college student needs to put his priorities straight. Rika, or rent, that’s one hell of a tough call. In any case, none of you actually care about the process in which I bought my dakimakura, so  I’ll show off some pictures now since that’s all you folks probably want to see.

This is the actual box the DVD came in, and is actually quite small. I was expecting something…more hefty? You can spy some of the artbooks in the background too. I guess that’s an added bonus.

As you can see, my pillow isn’t actually the right size. It’s a tad bit smaller than the case itself. Pity, I’m still not willing to cough up 30 dollars for the pillow itself though. Maybe in a few months I can actually get the right one.

A closeup of the face. You can still see creases in it, as the cover hasn’t been aired out yet, so to speak. The material is similar to that of the cheaper dakimuras that come bundled with magazines, but is far softer, and much easier on the skin. It doesn’t feel anywhere near as cheap.

I like the other side of the pillow more. Personal preference I guess? In any case, i’ll post a simple gallery for the rest of you folks.

All in all, I really dig the pillow case, and I’m happy to say that I plan to build my Higurashi Rei DVD collection since it seems like the logical next step. I wouldn’t really recommend for everyone to go out an spend 100+ dollars on this limited edition set, but if there are any fans of Higurashi you might want to consider this one. I think it’s the only
“pseudo official” Rika Dakimakura that is avaiable on the market now.
