Oni-Chan Posted July 2, 2015 I'll be entering for Alisa *w* in the event of a win, I'll be selling off her sword and wrist bracelet.

Innocentsake Posted July 2, 2015 I'll be entering for Alisa *w* in the event of a win, I'll be selling off her sword and wrist bracelet.

You should message him and ask if he wants to join you in a split Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
madmoz02 Posted July 2, 2015 Errr... rather new to this volks dollfie thing... how often do these dolpas happen and will there always be a lottery for non jap collectors? Tq in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pichu10176 Posted July 2, 2015 Errr... rather new to this volks dollfie thing... how often do these dolpas happen and will there always be a lottery for non jap collectors? Tq in advance. Dolpa happens 4 times a year. And yes there will be an international lottery for non japanese. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mayaiincho Posted July 2, 2015 I think it will be like the SD ears where they just make holes in the head and the ears have a little nubs where you can attach it to the head. Kirika's ears aren't done by pegs and holes, you can see her human ears in one of the scans. Looks like a slip on to me since there's this strange 90º. looking for - , Marisa Short Wig, full set Beatrice or default face + eyes & Sasara Fullset or default face + eyes.

Gunter Posted July 2, 2015 Errr... rather new to this volks dollfie thing... how often do these dolpas happen and will there always be a lottery for non jap collectors? Tq in advance. To show event dates and also to note that there is DD gathering as well. Generally, yes. You will be able to enter via Volks International in the After Event. The only reason you wouldn't be able to is because the product is not allowed to be exported out of Japan due to copyright reasons with whoever the studio is who owns the official rights I.E. Touhou. In the clear with all of these girls though. It is a rather straightforward process. You will be given a short time-frame to enter for the dolls of your choice. Results are released about a week later. You'll receive an email if you win, or if you lose you will hear nothing (and sooner or later they will cancel your order). Do not enter for something unless you can pay for it. Volks does blacklist nonpaying customers. Sorry, I gave you more info than you wanted just in case. I figured if new to the Dolpa thing then may as well be extra informative. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
heerowings Posted July 2, 2015 I like Kirika, her outfit is fantastic! They even have a swimsuit outfit for her, according to some scans. The removable ears is a plus point as well! Mariko is really cute too! =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aquilla429 Posted July 3, 2015 Safe! Yes!!! OK so that was a lie. After seeing the website and pictures for Kirika I am 100% not safe. Will be putting in a lottery entry for sure. My new domain and blog is now based on tumblr, you can find me at http://www.aquilla429.com https://twitter.com/aquilla429 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twistedkawaii Posted July 4, 2015 Does this mean you can also obtain them on July 25 or is it just an exhibition? Kirika; Len (Pico); Rise Kujikawa (Risette); Rise Kujikawa (Dahlia) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
twistedkawaii Posted July 4, 2015 http://www.volks.co.jp/limiteddollfie/ May someone translate the portion of Japanese text on the middle part to the bottom? cheers Kirika; Len (Pico); Rise Kujikawa (Risette); Rise Kujikawa (Dahlia) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gunter Posted July 4, 2015 Just winging it, but based on the top information I think it is safe to assume that's information for how the lottery and DP will run, seeing as they can no longer pick up the LE items at the Dolpa directly. I don't know enough Japanese to read a street sign, so yeah, I'm merely guessing from what I did get via translator. So, basically, I think it is safe to say that most of that does not matter to us unless you are going to said event. Anyone who can read Japanese please fill free to properly translate. I just looked at dates and with the information/links supplied above it just seemed to make sense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SakuraSylph Posted July 4, 2015 I will be in Japan during that time in July 25 so I might be able to sign up for the lottery there? I wonder if I can use my tenso as an address for shipping. Unless you will be physically in Japan the last week in August and the first week in September, none of the rest of the instructions on that page will apply to you. On 25 July at the DD Fest, you will be able to see the dolls in person and photograph them. But not buy them. Just display. SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
