dreamcore Posted September 22, 2011 Volks has updated their page with all sorts of new information! http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/fate_ex/index.html It seems that preorders will start on 9/23 and continue through 10/30, after which production will start and last until December. Orders will be shipped in January and February. It mentions that if you preorder in-store (which is limited to VIP members) then you either have to pay in full or pay a deposit (a mere 5250 yen). It does not, however, mention any payment information for the web order. I think we'll just have to wait for more information from Volks USA or the Volks international page for how international/USA orders will be done. Edit: Volks also mentioned on Twitter that Saber Alter will have the same faceup and eyes as the original Saber Alter, but Saber Extra will have a completely new faceup and new eyes. I hope they release pictures soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arrex Posted September 22, 2011 Pictures are up http://ameblo.jp/blog-dd/ Nero is definitely slightly different Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pihlajakoto Posted September 22, 2011 Nero is a bit scary ^^; I would like to see more pictures. Alter seems cute My blog Pihlajakoto Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strife212 Posted September 22, 2011 So hyped for Nero! I'm more interested in the new Alter for her sword than anything else Dolls: Saber, Saber Alter, Saber Lily, Saber Extra, Saber Alter 2nd, Aozaki Aoko, Alice Kuonji, Haruhi Suzumiya, Yuki Nagato Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aeris Posted September 22, 2011 Thanks for sharing! I am not bonding with Nero, too " hard" face. Alter is really beautiful! But I am a bit afraid because of white vinyl. I have a white skin resin and have had a lot of difficulties to bond with her ( though now I love her ). Perhaps it is out of subejt but has ayone pics of WS near NS DD please?

archangeli Posted September 22, 2011 It looks like the Volks International site is going to start taking pre-orders tomorrow til Oct 30! I'm sure Volks USA will release their timeline sometime soon too. I've decided to suffer the long wait and order from Volks USA. It'll be cheaper for me since their prices are better (in terms of exchange rate), even if I do get hit with customs taxes afterwards.

Talolili Posted September 22, 2011 I love both of these but I don't think I'll have enough funds to get them, damn. Would anyone be interested in helping me out and preordering for me? I could pay you back as soon as I can for the DD. Oh, I don't want to miss these. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OtakuDepot Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) Wasn't sure if I missed these or not but I figured I would include the Saber Alter images from http://ameblo.jp/blog-dd/ as well: I just love her exercise outfit with the hoodie!!! **James Edited September 22, 2011 by Guest Otaku Depot's growing family. “Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.” ― Terry Pratchett, Jingo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Talolili Posted September 22, 2011 Yep, those extra outfits are great. I love the track jacket the most, but I'd be paranoid about staining! Maybe it'll be lined inside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OtakuDepot Posted September 22, 2011 Yep, those extra outfits are great. I love the track jacket the most, but I'd be paranoid about staining! Maybe it'll be lined inside. I would like to think it is but unfortunately Volks has released some outfits without lining that have been total "Stain Monsters". It's sad when something they have complete control over is so poorly designed to be used on their own dolls. **James Otaku Depot's growing family. “Give a man a fire and he's warm for a day, but set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.” ― Terry Pratchett, Jingo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Galvatim Posted September 22, 2011 Saber Alter looks great in all of her outfits! I like Saber Extra too, but I'm pretty certain I'm going in for Alter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My Alter and Lily http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y110/Darkwind212/Strife2121308790228.jpg Thank you so much! I feel sooo hesitant To be honnest, I just like the new Volks YoSD and I am afraid about the new dolls for dollpa in december. So bad Volks makes so many events in such a short period.

AerisAquata Posted September 22, 2011 I /have/ to get Alter now. She's gorgeous! Also, I think her new stockings have garters~ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dolly Posted September 22, 2011 Oh wow, I am surprised to see pics before the preorder starts! Yay for no, "and this week's blog entry reveals Nia's accessories!" type thing. Guess it must be 'cause they are a re-used mold. Extra is just not calling to me, and it doesn't look like she will even have any additional outfits, poor girl. ;_; Maybe she'll grow on me once I see closeup pics. Now Alter on the other hand . . . so cute! I fear she might never get to actually wear any of those lovely outfits if I bought her though, you'd think Volks would line these things.

Strife212 Posted September 22, 2011 The old Alter outfit is lined inside, so there is hope The design of the new one looks hard to line though...

geminidoll Posted September 22, 2011 Pre-order will be through Volks US and Japan only. US is working on info now trying to get it up on their site for the weekend. Please be patient, all info coming soon. I have been told both Sabers are exceptional. Rochelle/Kerbey Lane Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
