I think the DSD size is fun to sew for. She is easy to handle and the proportions allow a lot of detail. I'll try to show mine in her new outfit as soon as I get the buttonholes done.
New DSDs were announced for Dolpa 40! Ryo and Show are being added as boys. They come with a blue Dear My Garden outfit, "Starry Blue." It has a similar cascading skirt to the other Dear My Garden outfits, but shorter to show off blue bloomers. The neckline has a Peter Pan collar instead of a ruffle. Aya is joining for girls, and she and Coco are shown in a new "Lilac" version of the Dear My Garden outfit, which has striped stockings instead of floral. Kira is also shown, but in the previous pink Dear My Garden outfit. XD Coco's earnest face is so cute! She's the DearSD I most like out of the bunch, though Show is a close second. I'm still hoping to find time to sew for my girls! I have a big work project that wraps up at the end of this week, and then fingers crossed I'll have time to make a fall outfit or two before fall is over!
@snowgrey Ah thank you for letting us know! I really love Ryo's updated look. (I'm a fan of Nono so it all makes sense. Hahahaha) Arrrrrrg. This dolpa is pretty intense for gorgeous dolls~
@snowgray Thank you for the info! Omg! Two classic sculpts, that's amazing. I wonder if the body will be the same asexual body though? Hope I can snag one from US release
@CMBato It'll be the same body. I don't think there will be a US release unless they have a special offering. These dolls are usually lottery at the dolpa venue itself. We can hope, though!
Thanks for the explanation @snowgray ! I really like Show! @CMBato Sadly only Dolpa release. @nakitaninja Wouldn't it be kinda cool if it there was a boy body of the DearSD?! Also, on Volks' Twitter, here is a teaser photo : ボークス スーパードルフィー 公式 on Twitter I'd love to see Volks do an International lottery for the DearSD. There really needs to be one! These little ones have been out long enough now to get one.
Maybe they'll do another one at the next USA Dolpa. (I almost typed LA Dolpa, but we still don't know where it's going to be.)
Show & Ryo are gonna be so adorable! I wondered if they'd ever release DSD boys. Looking forward to more pics. Aya is a sculpt I quite like so it's very cool she's getting a re-release as a DSD.

Has anyone tried "a girl for all time" outfits on Dear SD? I know they're too small for most 18" doll clothes but it seems like the dolls in that series are a bit smaller....
@Ian-KunX You asked me in the other thread which Dear SD I would be trying for, but I was scared to answer in case I might jinx it: The good news is that I was hoping for a Coco, and now I have twin Coco DSDs!
Is there any way to identify the year of release of a specific DearSD? I'm currently about to buy a DearSD Coco but the buyer doesn't know the year of her birth
@Ayanami My Mimi from 2017 release only has "DEAR SD" written on her plate, and nothing else (I believe her release number is engraved inside the head). However all DSD's come with a birth certificate with the welcoming date so you should ask the seller. It's not really a release date, but you can guesstimate the release date from it.
