For lottery, will Volks cancel if you have two accounts for the same address? My husband wants to put in on his account as as well if possible. 

Two different people with the same address is fine. 

The new batch looks great! If I had unlimited money, I'd try for Lyra.

But alas, my money is very much limited, so I'll just admire these beauties from afar.

I put in for two girls this morning at 5am EST.  😄 Now the long wait until 8-15!  

Fingers and toes crossed for everyone that entered!

Would love to try for these but alas Europe gets left out. I'm still grateful I got to go to a Dolpa a few years back and somehow pull number 2 from the lucky draw.

Has anyone tried doing stain treatment on these dolls? Is there anything like the greening issues with white skin to be aware of?

It’s your doll’s fingers and toes that need to be crossed.

They said they're not doing that but proceeded to all cross their eyes instead.  Cheeky little turds....  😉

Do we think the emails already went out for this lottery? Back in 2021 I got notice in the early morning like 1am on the announcement day. 

I got mine this morning! :D

Congrats! Looks like I missed out on this round. Maybe next time! 

I was lucky enough to win Clover! 🤩💚 I got the invoice email at 9:04am PDT!

Unless they send out a second wave later tonight or tomorrow, it looks like I lost out this time too.    Come on Volks!  Quit being so stingy!   LET ME GIVE YOU TEH MONIES FOR TEH DOLLIES!!!

Same! No email from Volks for me.  Guess I used up my Icon good luck at the LA Dolpa last year. 

Lyra arrived today. I had a pretty emotionally exhausting night so, knowing that immediately after these photos I was gonna wipe her face off, I didn't have much energy to put on more than the bare minimum, but I still wanted to take some owner pics of her stock faceup since I know some people are interested in that. She's the ICON2 sculpt so I was gonna love her regardless, but man that pearl shimmer is breathtaking. The camera doesn't do it justice. Her stock eyes are beautiful too, they're almost jewel-like. My plans for her are currently somewhere in-between novistars-esque and moon goddess.  

I'm happy to say that Volks has fixed some of the sizing issues that the previous year's line had. The shoes now actually fit, and the wig is still a tad on the looser side but not obviously too big. The head is still loose, although I think this is an issue with the sculpt itself and how there's very little friction between the neck and the head (an issue I still have with my other Aisha.) This is NOT the result of cracking like what happened with 2B, thankfully.  

Her wig is from Leekeworld and the earrings are from a shop called Josephine's Mercantile in Port Orchard, WA.

put the photo under spoiler so it doesnt clog up the thread

New icons for this year are up! New head sculpts and finally a new hand set for the icons! The fullset and makeup this year are sooo pretty, the new sculpts are very pretty as well. I'm sad I wont be able to participate, I really want to try for Aisha or Camilla.

I want another Nikki now. I like Aisha, but every time Nikki gets a new face she wins hands down.

When I saw the preview for this message in the Recent Posts section, I thought you meant a certain other Nikki… 😅

Wow, I love Ines, she's so beautiful! Lucky for my wallet I live in Australia, or I'd be very tempted to try and get her.

Lovely releases this year! I'm still holding out for a purple girl, though, so count me out of the running. I may try to snag some tawny hands for my Anthy, though!

ohhhh these are so gorgeous ;o; ines and aisha i'm immediately coveting, wow

Same! Do you think there's a good way to get them if you're not in the US?

Its been a while since I checked, but I believe Volks did an after party style lottery on their international website after the last Icon release. I think that's the only way to get them new overseas 

I think for most of the times they were available on volks international site they were Japan only. If you really want one, you may have to try and find a proxy or one on the secondhand market.

I think they sometimes show up on VolksUSA. I seem to recall they had a lottery event sometime in the last couple of years.

*edit* I just realized the person asking was wanting one OUTSIDE the US. You can disregard my comment above.

For those asking about how to get an Icon, they're very limited and hard to get.  This announcement is for the Dolpa in LA in September.  The only way to get one of these is to be there at the Dolpa and put in a lottery ticket for one.  Every person gets only one entry so you have to choose wisely.  They draw tickets at the end and whoever wins pays for them there and gets to take them home.

At the last Dolpa in 2024, there were 5 Icons that got no entries so they went up for sale by way of rock/paper/scissors at the end of the last day.  Competition was fierce for those girls.  A maximum of 40 Icons are available at Dolpa so if you miss out, the only other way is to wait for Volks to do an After Party event online.  Those events have even less dolls, usually only 20 to 30, so winning the lottery for those is even harder.

This information is direct from Micky, who runs and manages the Icon doll setup for Volks.  She was super cool to chat with and very happy with how popular the Icons have been.  

In closing, unless you know someone going to Dolpa who isn't interested in getting an Icon and will use their entry for you, you can't get one until they do the After Event.  And that's not always a guarantee that they'll have one.  I know they skipped doing that twice due to low production numbers in the past.  So the aftermarket is usually the best way to get one.... unfortunately that means paying higher than retail prices.
