Dollfie Dream Megurine Luka 2.0 & MEIKO 2.0

Aaargh still no official Kasane Teto 😪. If my YouTube feed is to be believed then she is second only to Miku.

Magical Mirai announcement, so super unlikely for a non crypton character.

(Even if it's teto - who's company actually has a relationship with Crypton.)

This is the first volks announcement ive wanted to pay attention to, is there any notable timeframe between doll announcements & production/sample photos?

We should see what they look like next dollpa (Which I think is November? Not sure).

The last Dolpa of the year is usually in December, but Volks News comes out next week or the week after. Idk how soon we’ll see them considering how long we had to wait to hear anything about Sakura Miku. We might be left hanging until next April again.

Luckily, we're seeing them way earlier than we thought

 

October 11th pre-orders open

I’m kinda disappointed it’s just Senbonzakura outfits again. I really dislike them personally, especially Luka’s, and I was hoping a rerelease would mean new outfits for them. For whatever reason they just aren’t interested in making new outfits for Luka/Kaito/Meiko though.

i looooove lukas head shape but im disappointed shes still very Blank Stare lmao. im thinking about splitting her fullset & using the money to commission a better faceup.

I was not expecting them this early. I'm glad there's a deposit option, don't think I could've fit another full doll payment in this year after Sakura Miku. This definitely means that Meiko is off the table, maybe if she gets a 3.0 in 5 years :'D But Luka and Tako Luka will come home next year 🥰

I normally don't pay attention to the physical dolpa closely. So, not sure what's typical for Volks. Will these two have some stock at the next event?

 

I normally wouldn't, but I have a strong urge to get Luka "early" (⁠╥⁠﹏⁠╥⁠)

Since the preorder period is from mid-October to mid-December and the website says they’ll take a year to produce, probably not. If anything, they might take preorders at the venue.

Volks News was issued on Friday, so we might know more in a couple of days, but the September issue doesn’t normally contain info on December Dolpa. We may have to wait until the November issue to know for sure.

I am very excited, I passed on Meiko last time but I think I will get there this time around. Maybe that means Kaito will have another round eventually? 

I also am disappointed that Luka and Meiko are not getting an additional outfit. . . Rin and Len got two at least.

Not sure they have decided to do a 2.0 male yet. I'd expect them to finish the girl bodies first. 

They're both up on the JP store now!

I finally pulled the trigger and put in a downpayment for Meiko! This is my first collab doll I'll have ordered from the site! (I have Arle, but she's secondhand)

So split if I should get Meiko 2.0 or not...she's cute and my fave cryptonloid but she doesn't really look accurate which bugs me lowkey. Funnily enough was planning on making a custom DDdy of her just before the announcement- If only volks sold collab doll's clothes and accessories separately.

Meiko is my fave too! I'm sure you can buy her outfit from someone who only wants the head sculpt.

FWIW I think volks did a good job on the outfit and hairstyle.

oh def everything else is great- there's also a part of me that wants to get her to make her into Sakine Meiko since her face kinda fits that more- although do I want 2 DDs so soon...but also I'm gonna kick myself if I pass on this and did want her down the line and dare look at the aftermarket-- oh I can't decide....

If you have the funds and know you'll seriously regret it  in the future- put your pre-order in🙏.

it'll be fairly easy to sell her or her accessories later. And it will definitely be easier than looking in the after market.

But of course, getting her for a decent price will still be possible around release, too.

Though if you have other plans you care to prioritise don't let fomo get you.

I ordered 2 the day orders opened.... And one more on the last day she was available.

Wallet-kun hates me, but I'm hoping voting with my wallet shows Volks (and others) that there is demand for the rest of them.

Hoping they rerelease Meiko again a couple years from now since I could only get Luka lol I already blew my doll budget on Sakura Meeks and Sasara.

 

Wonder if they will rerelease snow meeks or og meeks this year? or only outfits.

Sometimes with the Vocaloids they do a short pre-order period a few months later. No guarantees though. 

shipping for Luka and Meiko will start on the 31st October, payment deadline is the 25th

new email from Volks:

Quote

We would like to provide you with an important update regarding the payment of the remaining balance for items reserved through the “2025 DD Pre-order Project.” In our payment notification email sent on September 22, 2026 (JST), we informed you that the payment deadline would be 11:59 PM on October 25, 2026 (JST) However, as we are planning to revise our international shipping fees during the payment period, we would like to clarify which shipping fees will apply depending on when your remaining balance is paid.

If you complete payment of the remaining balance by October 8, 2026 (JST), your order will be shipped at the current shipping rate before the revision. Please note that if you make your payment after the shipping fee revision maintenance is completed on October 9, 2026 (JST), the revised shipping rate will apply, even if your payment is made within the original payment period.

＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝＝

If payment is completed by October 8, 2026 (JST)
Shipping fee: Current rate before the revision

If payment is completed after the maintenance on October 9, 2026 (JST)
Shipping fee: Revised rate

The above information applies only to payments of the remaining balance for items reserved through the “2025 DD Pre-order Project.” During the system maintenance period for the shipping fee revision, we will be unable to accept orders for regular items. Any orders placed during the maintenance period will be canceled.

"revised" in this case probably means more expensive due to fuel surcharges etc, so I'll definitely pay the balance before the cutoff

it should be related to this news post: https://dollfie.ec.volks.co.jp/topics_detail.html?info_id=4059

It sounds like their shipping fees are hardcoded into their website, instead of using the more sane approach of having a database table that can be periodically updated.🤔
