mitsuki Posted September 19, 2011 (edited) di-chan123 is right. The models for the Dolpa 17 Swallowtail Maid sets were Mirai and Candy.

OtakuDepot Posted September 19, 2011 Well, on one hand I'm very happy I now have original Yukino and Aoi before they go away.... but of course this means I'll have to get new Yukino and Aoi as well!!!! Ugh!!!! Will it never end? (hope not). What an interesting month for Volks news so far.... Saber info, new hands, shapely L-bust, new heads, updated Aoi and Yukino..... Should I just forget about ever retiring and cash out my 401K? **James.

Galvatim Posted September 19, 2011 Aoi-chan ver.II! I wonder if Aoi and Aya have another sister... Aoi looks to have more lip stick, and her eye lashes are different. Her eyebrows don't seem to be at quite the same angle, too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitsuki Posted September 19, 2011 I agree with OtakuDepot. It is hard to resist getting the new ones. I am particularly partial to DDH-02 girls and Aoi in general. I think triplets would be very nice for Galvatim and for me. I agree with the differences you pointed out, Galvatim. The new eyebrow shape softens her look quite a bit.

Pihlajakoto Posted September 19, 2011 I hope Volks will make re-releases of other outfits too. I really want that re-release maid dress, but I don't know where I could get money for it. New hands are interesting too. My blog Pihlajakoto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LordNoir Posted September 19, 2011 ^^ Those "rock on" hands are absolutely perfect for what I have planned. Now I know my Ranka Lee -esque girl has to be either a DD or DDS so she can use those hands. XD A crazy fool with a house full of dolls, and ponies, and pony dolls Now an Official Dealer for SQ Lab!

Tsubasa126 Posted September 19, 2011 So where is DDH-05? Nowhere ATM But there is wishful thinking that it's her... I did some research on DDH-05 and it looks like it's been released at Home Town Dolpa 2006 They are DD Yumi and DD Kyoko released as Summer Limited Edition http://www.volks.co.jp/en/dollfiedream/dd_kyoko.html http://www.volks.co.jp/en/dollfiedream/dd_yumi.html So they never released the DDH-05 as an option head in Volks stores. BTW the DD in the cute dress you showed me is a normal skin one-off Kanu which was released in Dolpa24. http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/teaoevo/imgs/8/d/8dac2710.jpg http://livedoor.blogimg.jp/teaoevo/imgs/c/9/c9fd8e23.jpg I just wish she'd be re-released or released as DDH-07 or something....

LordNoir Posted September 19, 2011 Each Dollfie Dream Head sculpt is numbered. Option Head 02 is #3, because it was the 3rd sculpt released (Option Head 1, Mirai+Candy, then option head 2) Option head 03 is number #7 and Option Head 04 is #43, so the fact that Yumi/Kyoko are DDH#5 does not mean their sculpt is the Option head 05. The entire list is here on the Head Mold List on DoA: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?196384-Volks-Dollfie-Dream-head-mold-list-%28help-is-welcome%29 Because of this, I think it's possible Option Head 05 is a secret Volks is keeping currently. Maybe it will be announced closer to the released of Option Head 06. A crazy fool with a house full of dolls, and ponies, and pony dolls Now an Official Dealer for SQ Lab!

Kumi Posted September 19, 2011 BTW the DD in the cute dress you showed me is a normal skin one-off Kanu which was released in Dolpa24. I just wish she'd be re-released or released as DDH-07 or something.... (T_T) Maybe she's one-off, and maybe not. Because she's on promotional photos of September Outfit Collections. The second DD here turned out to be DDH-06 and not Marisa, like many thought at first. So the question remains, who is this "Kanu" here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bethykins Posted September 19, 2011 how can i get hold of/pre-order the DD06 head (limited pre painted ver)? i've never ordered something like it before and was wondering if there was a service i could use online?? x I have a gorgeous family of DD girls See my profile for a list of my beauties!!

Ohh~, then there might me a good chance that she'll be the next head to be released. I don't think I'll be getting them anytime soon, until I recover from the upcoming pre-order.

Dolly Posted September 19, 2011 how can i get hold of/pre-order the DD06 head (limited pre painted ver)? i've never ordered something like it before and was wondering if there was a service i could use online?? x No one knows for sure, but if I had to guess I'd say that the prepainted 06 head will be available from Volks USA like previous News Issue exclusives were. You'll probably have to buy the copy of Volks News (which the prepainted head is exclusive too, vol 45 I think?) from Volks USA, and then will be able to buy the prepainted head through them as well. At least, that was how it worked before! Here is a Volks USA blog entry for the Volks News 40 items, for reference: http://site.volksusa.com/sumikatimes/2010/11/08/volks-news-40-dd-special-item-pre-order/ Not sure about the international site, was not paying much attention to DD's at the time.

Talolili Posted September 20, 2011 I'm excited about the new head being released, it's very cute. And it's about time Aoi and Yukino were updated! Aoi looks much cuter to me now, but Yukino looks almost the same, I also think Volks should update the wig styles and colors for those two. It's also pretty cool that they'll be on the new DD III body, I guess it really is the end of the II body. I wonder if it'll become really rare and sought after in the near future.

LordNoir Posted September 20, 2011 Part of me is a little sad that it's the end of the DDII body, because the DDIII is a little bit taller. I may have to go buy another DDII body soon just so I'll have one if I get a character I prefer at the slightly smaller height.

I may have to go buy another DDII body soon just so I'll have one if I get a character I prefer at the slightly smaller height. I feel the same way, as much as I am excited and wanting to get a DDIII, I still like the height and shape of the DDII. I think I might want a mix of all different heights and body shapes, So I'll certainly keep the ones I have and probably hunt for more later ( which I feel will get expensive with time) since I'll be busy buying clothes and accessories for the girls instead >.<'.

Well, it's very possible that we may be seeing a lot of DDII bodies on Ebay and other sites as people start upgrading their girls. I know I am very curious about the DDIII and may not be able to resist the urge of upgrading some or all of them. Then I just need to resist the urge of making custom girls with the older DDII bodies. **James.
