In addition to the main news magazine, this issue also includes the following appendices.
・Commemorative booklet that looks back on the history since the founding of Volks "The 50th anniversary of Volks' history Volks' history"

In addition, we will introduce special member-only products that can only be purchased by Volks GL/VS/VIP members!

*Speculation* - Not sure if it will include Yor info since it didn't mention "DD Order-only plan", but it may include the latest Harry Potter SD collab since it will be exhibited at DP 48 if you're looking for that info. 

Either way, this will be the first News to release since I've learned there was News releases and I'm excited to see what it has. 

Yor may be included if she's a Dolpa 48 release like I strongly suspect. Bigger question is, are they ONLY doing Yor, or are we going to have a surprise second DD sneaking in?

I'm more like. . . what the heck is the Dreamy DD Communication?? That could be basically ANYTHING. Could be something as small as retiring some eye designs, could be something bigger like expanded Dream Choice lineup. Personally I do think it would be cool to have some prepainted standard heads show up again, they used to do about one a year but they haven't done one in a few years. But basically that's so vague that I feel like rolling a D20 is probably going to be more accurate than my guesses lol. 

Also am I the only one who completely forgot about the Volks 50th anniversary thing? Like I feel they've done so little part of me keeps assuming it's already over lol.

Yeah, I get that they want to spread it out to the whole year, but I've felt like nothing much is happening on the doll side of the company.  I was really looking forward to them doing some re-releases of outfits, prepainted heads or special coordinations or something.

They've done a bunch of collaboration outfit items.

You can still get the bear purse and wrapping blanket from Volks USA, just search for "Shirokuma."

 

Another round for Dollfie Icon?

Also, looks like the cover is Marie Antoinette and Lady Oscar

Oh man, a potential second chance to lose Lilac and Aisha!

Has anyone found scans yet? I'm extra curious now about the Dreamy DD Communication thing after the MDD body end of production thing.

I haven't actually received my copy yet so I'm wondering if the shipments were delayed or something. Usually would have it by now. 🤔

It's gone out and is being circulated at the usual places mentioned in the past.

Same here. Slower than usual.

Here are the scans.

I was thinking I wasn't too hyped about this issue. . .but then I saw the Vocaloid kimonos. Competition will be fierce... but I wants

I didn’t want to want anything after going ham in September collection but I really want those blue rococo boots…

What I was actually hoping for the most this issue was for any news on the (presumably coming) new SDM models since the current 3 have recently been discontinued, but I guess we have to wait a little longer for them.

Oscar and Marie are the stars of this issue imo, they look stunning.

Same, although I was more focused on the SD10 counterparts. Maybe they're still waiting for more stock to sell out? Hopefully we'll get news of them early next year... I'm antsy to know who the new girls will be! 

How wonderful for people requesting Icon, I know a lot of people were waiting for them to be re-released.

Does that mean Lady Oscar is getting a re-release? Literally one of the only few resins I've always wanted, but the secondhand market prices are insane. Even just for her optional dress 😢

It looks like Oscar and her dress are getting a re-release, but we don't know the details of online sales yet. Expect demand for her dress to be nuts. 

Dang, I have made it through most of the year without major Volks orders, but there's so much I want this time around!  That tweed dress and the mohair set have really caught my eye.

Oh yes for sure! It will be a bloodbath for that dress alone. I still can't believe it's selling for 2k in the secondhand market. That's just insane for a dress, no matter how beautiful it is. I will have to keep my eyes open for this one! 

The page for the Icons is up, but it seems like the online store lottery (in January I assume) will be Japan-only, so a proxy may be needed if that doesn’t change.

They just updated the icon Japan website. Does this mean we need a proxy for the icons. It says ship to Japan only.

Yes, the web event is Japan only.
