AwkwardMango Posted March 13 Decided to make a dedicated thread specifically for any news on future FGO releases, to help keep it all in one place. Saber Alter is getting a new release on semi-white skin at the upcoming dolpa55! Wonder how much of a stain monster her outfit is. https://dollfie.volks.co.jp/dd/special/fate-go/2026/ 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archeotech Posted March 13 Mixed feelings on this one, another re-release..... But I love Saber and this is semi white.... >_< I have a white skin Saber alter with the Santa set and the old version of this outfit so a little disappointing it's the same outfit but I do like how it looks with a small chest. If they really wanted to do Saber Alter wonder why they didn't use her other popular outfits such as the armoured outfit or maybe even her Shinjuku set. But seriously there's so many FateGo characters I want made, they could remake Nero even. Stain-wise, yes the old version did stain but after a soak in vinegar solution and thorough wash not so much. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragnamuffin Posted March 13 The sculpt is the same, but the faceup, wig and outfit have been revamped. And of course the skin colour is different. Make your own signature like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not very savvy when it comes to Fate as a franchise, but it is a shame they re-released Saber with the same outfit, when it seems like she has plenty to choose from lol. Moreover, I’ve seen of few of these dolls on the second hand market go for under 60k, so I don’t understand why they would sell a new version of a not very popular/grail doll? But good for people who like her and wanted a non white version of her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted March 13 I really had the same thought with Salter… I had been wanting them to return to FGO dolls for a while now but this isn’t really how I expected it. It seems like of all the Sabers, Alter is the one with the most rereleases and the easiest to find. I’m also a little disappointed it’s not a new character or at the very least not with her armour or the Shinjuku outfit. If anything, I expected Nero to get a rerelease next to coincide with the remake of Fate/Extra, whenever that’s actually coming out. (I also got really excited looking at the members blog for a whole microsecond seeing ‘Fate/Grand Order’ ‘Artoria’, because I want to see an official Artoria Caster so much, and then ended up being like ‘?? Huh.’) however I guess there is a chance that she was requested a lot in the rerelease poll specifically by people who hoped for a rerelease in semi white…? I hope it’s a sign they’re still interested in FGO dolls though (it’s been a while and some of the choices have been kinda odd) although I also hope she sells well enough for them to not give up on them. 1 *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the contrary, she’s very popular, it’s just that there’s a crazy amount of inventory because she was unlimited preorder and everyone and their dog ordered one. I wasn’t into big dolls back when she released so this is all hearsay, but afaik she was highly sought after because her initial release (with the Alter Gothic Dress) was extremely limited. Due to popular demand, they re-released her a second time (with the Stage 3 dress you see here) as unlimited preorder, so everyone ordered extras to scalp. As you can see, that backfired because there were so many on the market that she’s been consistently selling for less than retail for the past ten years, but recently she’s started to go up in value as there are now far fewer available than there used to be (unfortunately for me, since I’d like to pick up another WS body). 2 Make your own signature like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting, I had the wrong idea about her then. But since she’s getting re-released, is there demand now still? Since Miku is still very expensive despite being an unlimited preorder, I was wondering about this. It just seemed to me a bizarre move from Volks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeyondTime Posted March 15 She's a DDS too. I'm not getting another Saber, but I am getting that outfit for my Artoria.

It looks to be white lined. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction. I have so many dolls that they have formed their own country... I'm starting to worry they may decide to invade one of the larger doll nations. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Idk for certain, but it’s possible that they’re bringing her back because she was requested in the Dollfie Best Selection poll. Given all the problems with WS, I’m sure there are people who are interested now that she’ll have SWS. 2 hours ago, BeyondTime said: She's a DDS too. Good catch, I totally missed that.

CatGirl Posted March 19 The new Salter is so cute! She's always been one of my favorite FGO characters so she's really tempting now that she has semi-white skin and is on the DDS body. And I love the new outfit based on her final ascension art. I'm still holding out for Morgan though (although part of me wants to be chaotic and buy Salter to make a custom Morgan).

Only the gothic dress from the first release was black. Also, the latest Volks News confirms that the Stage 4 outfit (the shorter version of the Stage 3 outfit) is a completely separate outfit set. It does not come with the doll; you have to buy it separately. 2 Make your own signature like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted March 20 I would love to get her alternate outfit, it looks really nice! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saluli Posted April 11 When I saw the news I thought they decided to return in the white skin..... Kinda whishes if they are repeting outfits it was the first release, or at last have it as an alternate outfit. Kinda want her because she is dds, but at same time don't know if I spend on her, having the DD3 one, or if I try to get a 2b Summon ritual is over. And finally complete.

V15 Posted May 9 Hey! I haven’t been in the hobby a long time and I’m wondering how often do they release new fgo dolls? Is it years between releases so I should totally buy this then? I’m hoping they do a Morgan one eventually but it seems last new release was skadi in 2021 which is INSANE! I remember when I left they were coming out with a lot of new dolls. Maybe I should I get this as it could be years before another doll and could just be a reprint.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm trying my hands with Volks USA lottery myself. Wish me luck! In my last Volks Jp order it was Volks that dropped the ball, by not including the goods codes on the custom declaration and also leaving off the materials used. Granted, it was shipped much faster than I expected, 2 days after ordering instead of the usual week, giving the impression they tried to get it out the door before Golden Week, but the result was that I had to provide the information to DHL myself. Also, I was very surprised at the shipping charge Volks used. At Mandarake the DHL shipping has basically almost doubled since they applied the new DHL prices, but Volks still seems to be using the old rates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Volks don't do all characters, but you can alternatively look at Cherry Milk outfits on Mandarake or Yahoo Auctions Japan if you want a character Volks won't do.

I remember when I left they were coming out with a lot of new dolls. Maybe I should I get this as it could be years before another doll and could just be a reprint.. They released Ciel and Arcueid from Tsukihime a couple of years ago, which admittedly isn’t FGO, but is still part of the Nasuverse. Nobody knows what Volks is planning, but Fate characters and Vocaloids seem to be their bread and butter, for Dollfie Dreams at least. Since Morgan is another Saberface and would undoubtedly use the Saber head mold, you might as well just get a Saber and style her as Morgan. Think about which skin tone you want her to have. Personally, I think semi-white skin would be too light for her, so I would skip Saber Alter. Flesh/Fresh would be more fitting, so Altria Pendragon or Jeanne d’Arc might be a better match. Scratch that, I just realized I was getting Morgan and Mordred mixed up. Saber Alter might work after all.

Galvatim Posted May 9 Ciel and Arc are in FGO now. Pretty much any Type-Moon character that's a big name is in FGO at this point, the US version just got the Aoko and Alice event last month. Whenever Tsukihime Remake pt. 2 comes out, I'm sure Akiha, Hisui and Kohaku will join FGO. Not Satsuki, though. She's getting her own route, she can't be a Servant, too. I agree with making a custom Morgan, Volks is far too unpredictable. Castoria is probably the closest to a safe bet, or maybe a DDS v.2 Nero. You'd think Volks would have released a Jeanne Alter by now, if they were going to. I've considered making my own Mordred or Ishtar at times. I miss when Volks would release more than one additional outfit for a licensed doll. Heck, even just getting one alt outfit, like with Salter v.4, is rare these days. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
