Kagamine Rin & Len & New Miku outfits!*pic updated*

Standard character boy? Oh gods I'm in trouble! LOL!

 

So just to put the numbers out there, here's my current calculation for the cost of both (I live in the USA) based on what we have paid for the Snow Mikus:

 

Rin & Len: $1,315.00

Shipping: $100

Fees: $75 (our credit card charges 3%)

 

Fullsets= $1,490 (based on the current exchange rate)

 

WITH fullset hands: $1,800 w/ shipping and fees added in based on what we aproximately paid for Miku's. (That's one expensive manicure!)

I hope to heaven theres a few months gap between Snow miku hand orders and kagamine hand orders *×*

 

Or at least, go back to how they did with original miku hand orders, order now pay later!

 

I doubt that though, im guessing volks wants money for small pre orders upfront these days to weed out scalpers?? Correct me if im wrong.... :/

Wow rin & len looks great!!! I can't wait till they come out!

 

But one question tho, how much is 69444 JPY in US money?

As of this very moment, Google states that it is 679.13 ! So much...

 

I'm so excited for Len though that I simply can't wait! I'm not sure what character I'm going to make Len into, but I know for sure I'm going to be getting him.

Not that I have a cat in this fight but I do think something should be addressed since no one else has really shown it yet:

 

 

Down in the lower part of the screen, they show a boy with different eyes and a different wig. Below that I see DDS - DDH09 (B) written. Is it just me or is this the new standard model setup for a boy doll? Becca and I are definitely thinking that they released the 09 head beforehand knowing full well they had planned to do a boy doll. Almost every 09 head out there has been modded to be a boy so it makes sense to have this happen.

 

I for one don't really care about boy dolls but I still find this a huge step forward for Volks. Even tho their main fanbase in Japan is the male collector, with a bishi boy doll made available, you *know* the female fanbase will snap these up for little cute shota boy models. Same with the North American fanbase.... there are TONS of you guys here on the forums screaming for these. If this is actually happening, Volks is going to *HAVE* to notice the North American market as something more than just a throw away secondary market for their dolls.

 

Just my opinion anyways....

I did not see that =O i noised the image and thought the were showing off the boy body with a different wig not a different head =o=.

 

maybe they planed this all along. would be interesting to see then teasing us all along with the 09. i have seen nice 09 girls but for me its always been a masculine head.

It says 'of course you can put the option heads on too!'

model: dds dd09.

 

It's a possibility, but the way its worded just makes it look like its showing you what it looks like with one of their default heads.

Omg thanks!

Aaahhhhhh, I hope I hope, I wish I wish, the body for Len will be standard release! Ahhhhhhhhhh, I really want to get him, but there's no way that'll be possible unless I get a job..... ;-;

Ahh, I had no idea what it was on about since I can't read Japanese. But thanks for the info!

I don't know if anyone can read the teenier text any better than I can--the res on these scans is always fairly sad--but is there any indication what size clothes Len can wear?

 

Because I can't be the only one seeing stuff in this Volks News, wondering if it's worth stockpiling cool things for him. (Which is messed up because I haven't 100% committed to even getting him. HELP.)

Oh, I see lots of bits and pieces that I like in different outfits, but no one particular outfit has blown me away. Hmm... Will have to decide if it's worth pursuing any of the outfits for the parts I like. Thankfully I will have a little bit of time to decide!

 

I'm really liking how Rin looks, I think the twins' headmold is a really great one, and will probably be pursuing the head altho not likely any of the other bits...

How interesting. I always thought rin's clothes was black and yellow like len. Woops.

 

I wonder if japan will charge when you order or when the dolls are ready to be shipped. I think they charged asap for snow Miku alt clothes... the exchange rate is now worse thanks to brixit. Sigh

It's a little sad that Len is so much more than Rin is...I guess It's just because it's a new body....

There was at least a short while between putting in the order for Miku's hands and when we needed to pay. Raven and I can't quite remember (he said possabily 3 months?) but we were only able to get them because they were preorder.

Me too!

Every preorder that I've ever done from Volks International (many times) is an order now & pay later. (Volks USA is set up a bit differently.) With the fullset DD like this there is usually about a 9-ish month wait between when the order peroid is accepted and when payment is due. If the orders open in Aug. instead of Jan. like the had been for many years, just the shift in timing is throwing me off. It had been that like clockwork the preorders would be open in Jan. and payment would be due in early Sept. then shipped in Nov.

 

It's a little sad that Len is so much more than Rin is...I guess It's just because it's a new body....

 

I rather doubt that. I've never known Volks to hike the price on a DD simply because of a new body type, and there have been a few. The more likely reason is because of the keytar (the insturment.)

Kind of going against the grain here, as most people are jacked for Len. I am really looking forward to Rin though... She looks really cute, and being a preorder, she will likely end up in my family.

Looking forward to Rin only here too & eventually Luka.

I'm SUPER looking forwrd to Rin but haven't said much because she's just so perfect. Most of my thoughts aboout her so far are how to make her a phone for all her selfies, and what to do once she discovers she can post videos about herself on Youtube. My version she's still going to be a sweet girl but VERY aware of her fanbase, unlike our Len and Miku.

 

~Sister Kyoya

Agreed, Len is great, and I'd never split the two up, but Rin the one I'm most excited for. I'm pleased that Volks is finally doing a boy body, though. Adds MANY possibilities. Still holding out my hopes for a Luka, though...

If they did Luka, I think I'd cry. Luka is my favorite of the Vocaloids (Mayu is a close 2nd but pretty sure she won't get a Dollfie), and seeing how they did the twins as they appear in PD instead of their V4X outfits...

@ Sister Kyoya

 

Yes, green miku hands were pre order. I ended up doing two orders becuase i didnt realize it was order now pay later ^///^ but with the snow miku fluffy coat set it order now pay now, which really threw me off *×*

 

so was it was just for the coat order, or does volks now do order now pay now?

Not gonna lie, Rin is amazingly adorable and tempting as hell. I think part of why Len's getting so much discussion is because he even being a "he" is such a novelty--and as such, we have a LOT of question.

 

Like what clothes size is gonna fit him, Volks!? C'moooon, I wanna know whether he's gonna be a bitch to shop for before plunking down $700 on him.

And I'm sooo glad to see pics of the boys body ;-; I hope they sell it separate ASAP. I'll be able to shell the two main characters of my webcomic since one can have the smart doll body and the other this one - the height difference will be perfect. Although I'll still wait for comparison pics once Len is out.

 

Sydney and Melbourne? I support this fully! (I'd love to see them in the mid-nineteenth-century outfits from the capital origins arc/gold hunting sub-arc too xD)

 

I am also in the ranks of those more personally excited for Rin, even though I'm looking forward to seeing others' Len/characters they make with Len. Now to find a way to scrape up the extra money to preorder her Thanks to those who found the price information, it really helps with planning!

baldylox, thanks for sharing the boy body pictures! The inner skeleton must be different, because look how he is sitting cross legged!! It's a very good looking body.

 

And a keytar??! I've wanted one for ages!

 

I am not sure yet if I will get just Len or both Rin and Len. She is VERY cute!!

I'm pretty sure Len could wear SD13B/SDGR B/SD. This is similar to what they did to DD. But I want to know if/when Tenshi no Koromo will be making boy outfits too.

Fair Warning:

I think people are missing that little green box with 抽選 on top of Rin/Len's info block: Lottery!

 

Torino's not wrong about the text at the top though: it says that preorders can be made at the HTDP Nagoya 6 event hall. I wonder if this is another dolpa-goer perk. Volks has been trying to give people new and different reasons to go to Dolpa in person ever since they stopped selling dolls (for pickup) directly at the event.
