:: Volks Dollfie Dreams Discussion Room : Part XVI :

Hiei and Kuwabara for me! It would be a great way to celebrate their new male DDs.

 

Hiei, Kurama, and even Boton for me! YYH would be the perfect 4 male DD collaborations with Volks.

 

Honestly the whole group from YYH would be super cute for it~

 

does anyone know if you are able to buy the extra outfit separately without purchasing the doll fullset? ** sorry in reference to the Yor Forger doll and other limiteds

 

Extra outfits have generally been sold separately in the past, most recent I think was Fumika's? But it also sold out pretty fast, about as fast as she did from the clickwar iirc.

 

The extra outfits seem to generally be sold separately, like the extra outfit for Kaito who is on preorder now.

But the extra outfits for non-preorder dolls do seem to sell out quickly in a click war... like Fumika's extra outfit as mentioned above... orz (And since Yor will probably be quite popular, it'll probably be the same.)

 

As much as I love to see Yor released as an official DD from Volks, her face appears very generic to me this time that I can see other head molds able to pull off the same look with face up... And with Tsukihime's Arcueid having the same red eyes, it's like Yor just changed her wig from black to blond Anyone have the same feeling or maybe I just unable to love Yor that much to notice any distinctness in her head design...

 

I don't think my opinion counts much, because I love duplicates and sister-like sculpts, but I find Yor and Arcueid very cute. DD eyes are also very distinct from each other, the designs on the new girls eyes are very very different when you look up close. If anything, Arcueid reminds me more of DDS Skadi (which makes sense with them both being Type-Moon characters)
People were saying the same thing about Megumin looking generic, but once you see more angles their uniqueness begins to show. It doesn't help that they're all anime-style, which suffers from same-face-ness a lot.

 

In addition to the anime style, Volks isn’t super adventurous (and very light with the blush) with their faceups so a lot of the subtle features in the sculpts don’t get highlighted.

 

Another licensed doll announced!

月姫 -A piece of blue glass moon- × Dollfie Dream

Today I was thinking how I feel a lot of the licensed dolls don't have the same flavor as the character they represent. While I'm not super familiar with her, I really like this DD because of the subtle smile with her sharp eyes. Rather expressive!

 

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
And yes I do hear people commenting about how arcueid face reminds us of Skadi.

 

I pre ordered kaito today, im very happy now my vocaloid crew its complete minus meiko. Fortunatly the waiting for him its not too long, he is released in spring and not in dicember like the other anual pre order.

 

Hello!

I just ordered my grail Dollfie Dream, Hatsune Miku from an offsite secondhand market! She will more than likely be my only vinyl doll.

But here's my problem. I know absolutely nothing about Volks Dollfies other than they're made of vinyl, they stain easier than BJDs and they can have an internal skeleton. HALP!

Anyone know where I can read up on basic care and feeding of a Volks Dollfie? I really don't want to read all of the different threads about them, especially since this is the 16th thread.

Just use the official Volks site if you want something brief... otherwise, Google and search functions on forums are your friend.

Ready for Christmas

 

Thank you, @OneMoreLight, I appreciate your response and the link. I'm going to go read it after I post this.

I just found out about DDs sometimes being reissued. Is there any way I can find out which version Miku I got? Like is the box different, or is there a "2" at the end of the product? I'm just curious.

Do you mean the reboots?
Generally, I tell them apart by the frame series they're on, but this isn't always possible (for instance, Asuna and Asuna Titania are both DDIII, although Titania isn't specifically a reboot)
With Miku, the OG was on the old DDIII frame (most of this version of her are probably a bit yellowed by now as well) while the reboot was on DD-f3 frame. You can tell the difference by taking her apart and seeing what the frame looks like, or the simple method of checking the back of her knees (a slit-looking joint is DD3, while a larger opening showing the shin joint is f3 basically). Reboot should also have more vivid makeup.
If you posted a picture of her, there's probably a decent chance that experienced DD collectors could tell you which one she is. However, note that the copyright mark on her head means nothing when telling the two apart- that date is from when the sculpt was originally copyrighted, and reboots use the same sculpt (i.e. a reboot of a doll made in 2021, whose original is from 2014 will still have a "(c)2014" on her head)
Not sure about boxes as I don't collect the Vocaloids, sorry. I checked Mandarake, the reboot Miku box does indeed specify reboot. まんだらけ通信販売
Speaking of, Kagamine Len and Rin are getting reboots, along with DD 20th Anniversary next year.

@OneMoreLight awesome news about Rin and Len getting a reboot! My dream of getting a Len will become a reality! Unless it’s a click war, or lottery, sigh.

 

The first release of Rin and Len was a preorder and all the vocaloids so far have been preorders, I think, so the chance of it being a preorder is high!

 

@namika yay! I somehow missed Len’s first release. I honestly don’t know how, but ever since, I’ve been looking and so far I have missed him, or I couldn’t get the funds together in time. Now I have time to prepare!
