Thank you Little Nouk has received her Hannasu wig. (I changed pink ribbons instead the white ones). I think i'll keep her this way until i'll find my Lieselotte, and create a coordinated duet. Happy week-end everyone !
I sent my Isao in for getting his faceup redone at LA Dolpa 2019 and yeah they do the original LE faceup. It's a very faithful recreation; it even matches the very light 2004 level of blushing. So it should be just a nice modern re-do! I didn't have the peeling done because he matches his body and I don't mind the yellow so I can't speak to that.
ive decided to add winter smile nono to my wishlist/grail list, but i havent been keeping an eye on her listings & cant find any past ones, does anyone know how much she usually goes for with her fullset? i want to get an idea of how much i should save
@Claude_is_strange Have you checked Dollyteria, Mandarake and Y!J sales history? I often use those as a ballpark estimate of what a sculpt is worth
I found this auction that seems to have gone for the doll's original price, this listing seems to have gone for a bit less, there are a couple of Mandarake listings of the doll and outfit separately, too. Seems like she's going for what she was originally (JPY 95000) or a bit less from what I could find.
That wig fits her perfectly, @citronrouge ! She's so cute Speaking of wigs, I've been searching for the original Volks Tyltyl wig for over 2 years now, but without any success. Has anyone by any chance ever come across a similar wig (similar color and style) from a different wig maker anywhere else? I'm more than thankful for every hint!
Volks News 111 was just announced! It looks like their next collaboration is with plush toy manufacturer Yoshitoku. From their Facebook; SD brand collaboration \Newest pieces for Spring 2026/ Super Dolphy Gr Mina & May Yoshitoku #retroplushtoykorekushon Commemorating the 70th anniversary of Yoshitoku's Stuffed Animal Department. Dolphi world expresses the fusion of Japanese origin with cute culture Collaborative project is detailed in the latest Volks News Vol.111. Enjoy! @yoshitoku_plushIt seems SDC Mina and May have been scaled up and are now SDGr? The VS/VIP/GL member exclusive products are SD heart hand parts in fair and white skin, and I instantly pre-ordered a pair
Also my thoughts. It took me a looong time to realize they weren't Yumepi and Maacha. I'm curious to see more angles. I'm also curious to see this new boys dorm guy!
Yumepi and Maacha are very popular, so Volks may want to stay with a winning aesthetic for their cute girls. Lieselotte is another; I thought Fujitsubo and Murasaki were very similar to Lieselotte. It seems to be the looks their Japanese customers expect. I'm amazed that Volks is even doing SD17 boys anymore, after Genji's big flop. Before pics were posted on the blog, I thought the Interstellar Dormitory was going co-ed Regulus was popular the first time around, though, so we shall see.
While I agree that the two pairs are very alike, they still have their own charm which I'm honestly really fond and excited to see more of though I'd much rather have them in a more natural face-up, that's just my type. Still, I can't stop looking at them!!
These new girls are absolutely gorgeous! I really love the whole 60s-ish vibes with their outfits! This lottery is a must win situation because i can already tell their aftermarket prices are going to be insane lol… it would also be amazing if we saw these girls for sale at the upcoming LA dolpa!
The makeup is so pretty and makes the eyes very sparkly! I love itThough I agree with @desireunopened that a more natural look would suit them very well too. Especially with the outfits. Or maybe something totally different and bold like a matching color eyeshaddow
I didn't notice any difference to Maacha and Yumepi at first either ! The makeup and styling is nearly identical. Looking at it more closely, they're like...the chubby cheek version of them lol. No doubt they'll be very popular. But I'm always looking forward to seeing new boys!
