VOLKS new SDs and Oct 23rd event and DISCONTINUED DOLLS

wow, this really is surprising. I'm curious as well as to whether or not SD Mimi will be taken out completely or made into a new pureskin version. Mimi was always a favorite of mine so I'd be sad to see her go. I am excited about all the new dolls though. Curious though...will these new unlimited dolls have completely new headmolds or will they be using FCS headmolds? I can't imagine them adding more to the FCS since they already updated it but standard doll heads are always a part of the FCS system. So I'm taking a guess that these new dolls will be somewhat familiar faces. Maybe...though it'd be more excited to see new molds.

 

Oh oh oh oh oh! I just saw "Discontinued" and "Megu" in the same line. Well, mine is being discontinued. I had the new make up version, not the pure skin.

Oh well. That still stinks, but I can understand a company wanting to move on. I can't wait to see pics of their new dolls!

 

Okay.. so no more MSD Fairies.. and no Sakura mold? ::peers over at her Nasia boy:: But.. he's so cutesie in his black undies ;_; He just needs his leeke wig to come in so his hair matches his outfit XD

Im excited to see these new dolls volks is coming out with.

Didn't they just introduce Mario and Marry and now they are gone? (Well.. I didn't really like them.. but)..

Hmmm boys.. or girls? I would like to see a new boy to the SD 13 line.. but that's just me :P

 

This is complete speculation on my part, but...

Since a lot of the 'discontinued' doll heads *are* part of the New FCS system (if I'm reading DoA's New FCS page correctly), I'm wondering if Volks will eventually release them as Standard dolls again, only in PureSkin format. A similar (but not identical) thing happened with Volks's 1/6 scale Dollfies, with several types being 'discontinued' only to show up later in the New EB line.

I hope the various option parts will also be re-released in PureSkin... they have the molds and the materials, and there's certainly a demand for them!

 

I have a friend who want a Rio, and he's waiting for the pure skin version ^o^UU. I think I told him he should go for an FCS doll with Rio head...
It's sad, I want a Mimi too... but I want her with SD13 body, I'll go with FCS for her in the future.
And for the MSD... I hope they make them pure skin in the future because an FCS MSD is a little expensive >.<.
I want to see the new dolls too

 

Does anyone know when the photos of the new dolls will be available? I'll have enough saved for my fullsized BJD in mid-October, but the thought of there being all new dolls a few weeks later is tempting and frustrating at the same time -- what if there's no one I like as much as Mimi? ^^;; I'm *really* hoping Volks will release some photos of the new kids before the old ones will be discontinued so I can make a choice.

...And wow, it's kind of unnerving that so many Volks doll are going off the market! (I know when I ordered my Sakura she was listed as "limited run" or something like that, but I never really thought it meant anything.) Any word on whether there will be more Dollfie Cutes? Kaede is adorable, but I didn't get a chance to buy her.

 

I'm sorry to be so clueless but I need someone to clarify what I'm now fearing.

Did that say Megu 13 will be discontinued all together? Or that the old body version of Megu 13 is being discontinued? I've been saving since July to get Megu 13 and I'm only about $100 away from getting her. I have sold of almost my entire vintage My Little Pony collection to be able to do this. So if she is being discontinued for good, I'm gonig to have to hurry up and get that last $100. If she's going to come out in pureskin then I may hold out to get her in the pureskin.

So did that say Megu 13 is gone forever after October? Or that she'll be rereleased in pureskin? Thanks for the help!

 

It sounds like you would still be able to get Megu 13 in pureskin through the FCS. I imagine she would end up costing a bit more though.

So she is being discontinued forever? *cries* I'll have to hurry to get her then.

 

ME TOO!!! I sold over 100 ponies for my dolls (and I still have more to list)...

 

*lol* Do you collect the new generation ponies? I still collect those, but I'm thinking that my dream dolls are more important than ponies!

Do you post on any of the My Little Pony forums? There are some fun pony forums, one in particular that you could list your ponies on.

And so I don't hijack the thread, I'll just keep crying about Megu 13 and I'll try to plot ways to come up with the last bit of cash to get her.

 

:cry: U-nosss!!! just after I decided i needed one too.... and theres NO way I could afford one any time soon :cry:

 

I just hope ALL the heads aren't sculpted by Mikey...I'm really not a big fan of most of his sculpts and I liked the variety the other dolls offered. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I hope one of the new SD13s is a boy!

Wait a minute, one more thing...if they totally discontinue all the dolls they said they were going to and they're only available through FCS, that means there will only be ONE standard SD, two standard SD13s, and two standard MSDs?? Wow, downsizing a bit, aren't they??

Or wait again...they said some of the standards are still going to be available at Tenshi no Sumika, right, but the new standards are at Tenshi no Sato?? I'm just confusing myself more and more...

~Megan

 

Sorry if I listed them confusingly. From October 23rd, the standard dolls will be:

SD Pure Skin Nana, Megu, Sara, Nono, Ryo, "Kun". (Kun's gender is not known yet.)
SD13 Pure Skin Mimi, Sho, "Yori" and "Link" (Yori and Link's genders are unknown.)
MSD PureSkin Mika, Ken, "Kohaku" and "Hisui".

It is not yet known whether the other Old Resin SDs will be re-released as Pure Skin versions.

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks, twotone ^^;;

 

*sob* Mimi!

Just so you know, as someone who has old FCS Mimi on a sd13 body, she's FAB. Meow.

But I would be very sad to not see Mimi in the lineup. And then there is Mimi 13 as the only surviving SD13 girl? Wacky. Maybe they'll do new 4 sisters sd13, with Cyndy's head. Mmmmm. We can dream.

 

I am SO glad I have my standard Mimi and Rio. I would hate to have to get them through FCS. This should be interesting. While I like Mimi13 ( I have her on Lishe's body), it surprises me that they kept her out of all the SD13s. I get the impression that she is not very popular or well-liked...

 

I'm glad I found out about this, I was gonna get my Too and Bee-A first and then a MSD Sweet Dream Myu (or just Myu) Now I switching it around! Good thing I can order her on the 7th of october, in time before she's discountiued.

Other than SDMyu...... there aren't other Dollfies I am dying to have...... well asides from Shirou but yah..... *cough cough* that just won't happen!

 

Keep in mind if they re-release her in pure skin or you get her on FCS that the new SD13 girl body has a thicker neck. I don't know if that makes a difference to you. It's sort of alarming for me because I wanted to get a new body for Aisha (my Nana13) because I damaged her a little. With that particular head mold I like the thin, swan-like neck of the SD13 old body rather then the thick neck of the new. The new body is really nice though and it looks great for a head mold like Cyndy or Madoka, but I don't think it looks so good with Mimi13 or if they put the SD13 sister head on it. That's my opinion though, don't know if you mind the thicker neck or not.

Unless they offered it in pureskin with the thin neck...but I don't think so considering Madoka, Cyndy and Mimi13 all have the new bodies with the thicker neck.
