Dollfie Dream Fern (from Frieren at the funeral / Beyond Journeys end)

So stumbled across something while browsing the Ex bluebird site...

https://x.com/volks_dd/status/1935970999889170481

All I can personally say is that Fern looks way too cheerfull and the staff way too plastic. Otherwise the outfit and styling are quite bob-on.

the main Frieren site will update at some point With apparent details of a DDS 2.0 Frieren as well... (I wonder if volks will be willing to take my money for one this time around...)

owell, back to lurking, carry on....

Oooh exciting! I passed on Frieren before, but I may end up trying to get her this time. They do look very cute together! 

Interesting that Fern is DD when her voluptuousness would justify DDDy and she could have been the first DDDy 2.0. 

Yeah, I would have thought Fern would have been DDDy, but a DD with a large bust will also do.

Somebody needs to make this version

Sounds like a job for @XOHimitsuOX. 😜

Frieren 2.0 seems to be confirmed!

 

I'm actually surprised, it seems like it's pretty soon for a rerelease

I agree, it’s probably the fastest there’s ever been a release. I was just looking at the DD anniversary thread thinking about how we still haven’t seen the DDS/MDD/DDDy rerelease yet, suddenly thought ‘wait, is it Frieren?’, then realised Frieren actually got announced after that voting had already concluded(Literally right after). So…Frieren managed to come out twice before we found out who all of the anniversary poll winners were!

I also agree on the staff looking a bit on the plastics side. I think Fern is cute, although I did expect her to look a little more deadpan.

Hm, I was going to make one of my dolls a Fern cosplay to have her when I cosplay Frieren but maybe I'll just get an actual Fern? She's really cute. I like the little smile, personally. Things to consider 🤔 Will still have to make a Stark cosplay for my boy tho. Unless..? Lol jk doubt we'd ever see an official Stark. (Or Sein, my beloved.)

I do agree on the staff as well tho. I hope they fix it a little (even if with just paint), for the release. For the amount these dolls cost, I shouldn't have to paint that staff to look better myself.

You Could take some Finer Grits of Sanding Sponges ("Godhand" Brand Blocks are my VERY Recommended Go-To)

to Micro-Roughen that Staff's Finish; working from perhaps #1000 through 2000/4000/6000/ to #8000 or so...

We eat the same foods, so it can't be that...

My curse of buying TCDoll outfits has struck again. First it was Takina and Chisato and now Fern. To be fair I was expecting a Fern. I don't know why they didn't release her with Frieren 1.0. Maybe they had production issues with her staff. It still looks 😪.

Also I don't know if they've quite captured Fern. They should have just recycled the Takina head mould.

The TCDoll outfit almost fits a DDdy. Now I have some teeny safety pins so I'll see if I can stitch Towa into the Fern outfit.

At least they're making new characters again and not just re-releasing old dolls. Well almost.

My recent outfit buying predicts that Hitori Gotoh or Ai Hoshino will be their next release.

I mean, sure, but I'm saying I shouldn't have to do that, though 🤷🏽‍♀️ Like it's already a $700 (ballpark est based on others) fullset, the staff should just look better out of the box. Could I? Of course. I've made things for dolls, I cosplay. I techncially know how. But the principle is, I shouldn't have to when you're already charging so much.

For reference, the weapons on the FFXIV twins look FANTASTIC (source: I saw them in person), and they are much much more complicated designs than that staff. They can do better.

Welp, the main site has been updated with details, and apparently the body is not the only upgrade Frieren got....

The suitcase is part of the set now, I repeat, the suitcase is part of the set.

That is all.

Is it too much to ask for preorder sales method or lottery instead of a click war? 
I still remember failing to get through on the site for Frieren….
