BeyondTime Posted October 12, 2016 I am sensing anticipation on someones part. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SisterKyoya Posted October 12, 2016 Bahahahaha! I was just poking my head around in there today and was just surprised that there wasn't the threads yet for Rin & Len. Since they are technically released I didn't see the reason not to make the threads that would be there anyway. As for the wait for Len to get home... it's brutal already. Few times a day I still scream in my head with the realization that he's MINE!!! No matter how much I tell myself that, there is still much of the time I still can't believe it. I don't remember the last time I was this excited. In one way it makes me happy, but in other ways I'm dreading it. I don't deal with extreme emotions well without there being a propotionate negative emotional backlash. Even with that, it doesn't diminish the relief of not having to make his default outfit. I'm going to have fun trying his head out on all the boy body types I have. I get the feeling that I'll have to try on the wigs we have too. It may be a similar aftermath when Dakota's body was here before her head. Doesn't help any that at least one of the Project Diva outfits that Len has dresses him up as a girl. Once Tama's sisters find out... there may be no way for Tama to avoid them making him to do the same. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BeyondTime Posted October 12, 2016 I felt the same way when I was waiting for my Kos-Mos. First DD and she will always be special. (Meaning she gets spoiled a lot.) Hope he's worth every moment of the wait and then some. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

Monty Posted October 14, 2016 To the people who have Len already, do you plan on changing his eyes at all? What size eyes is best for him? I know his are definitely smaller than Rin's. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
youth Posted October 15, 2016 I don't know if it's maybe some oddity with my card, but I see no pending charge from Volks for a paid Rin & Len. Anyone else? Probably they won't charge until they are about to ship them. Since they are running behind on orders lately... who knows? Maybe in a week or two. Seems to be the case as I still see nothing on my card (Volks order status says "order") which I'm very fine with considering the yen has gone up from 99 to 104 since then. Every yen increase in exchange rate is like an extra percent off of the doll price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jadepixel Posted October 15, 2016 According to the Volks website, dolls will start shipping to lottery winners on Oct 29. Still no update on possible after event clickwar for unclaimed DD. jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted October 16, 2016 According to the Volks website, dolls will start shipping to lottery winners on Oct 29. Still no update on possible after event clickwar for unclaimed DD. Given that people in Japan dont have to pay till then (rather, I dont know if we even CAN pay until then), maybe they're gonna wait till after that payment deadline so they have a number of how many unclaimed dolls there are total from both the lotteries? I cant imagine there wont be some kind of follow up sale due to the incredibly high win-rate. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syanon Posted October 16, 2016 cant wait for my twins back home, i also ordered Senbonzakura Outfit Set (Ni no Sakura: Butterfly and Fan Dance) and i got Ribbon Girl Outfit Set as well =v= Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hallonkatten Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I brought the cute twins back with me from my vacation in Tokyo. I was so sad that I lost the lottery on them even though my boyfriend helped me and applied for them as well. But ended up getting them cheaper considering not needing to pay the tax and everything that would have been added on buying them directly from Volks. So now I'm glad even after losing the lottery Just a quick photo for now but I love them so much Edited October 19, 2016 by Guest 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) I'm so happy there's finally another Rin here! Also it's cool that you got those outfits because i was wondering how well the sd13 one would fit on Len myself. I still dont know if I'll end up getting it cos he's expensive enough but I'm glad to see it does look good on him.

youth Posted October 26, 2016 My orders just posted on the CC two days ago. Looks like it may have been a card thing & not Volks. Works for me since the delayed posting saved over $20 per doll from the change in exchange rates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mizya Posted October 27, 2016 Oh my gosh, I just woke up, checked my email and there was a shipping notice for Rin!! *____* Aahh, so exciting~ I hope I get a shipping notice for Len later today as well (their payments were confirmed a couple of hours apart too) because I'd love for them to arrive together... but it could also be that they won't ship out on the same day. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed!!! Hopefully we'll see lots of shipping notices today~ x3 Edit: A couple of hours later, I've got Len's shipping notice too, yay~!

SisterKyoya Posted October 27, 2016 No update on mine yet either, but I can still say I'm in shock. I was talking with Raven, Katnaper & Torino yesterday about my boys and wondered why I hadn't taken a pic of all of them since Eddie got home. A full five minutes later I wanted to smack myself for forgetting about Len. Even almost a month after the lottery results and it feels totally surreal. I was so convinced that I wouldn't be able to get him without some horrible long drawn out fight that I still find myself occasionally seeing pics of Len and emotionally still reacting like I lost. This last month I've been trying hard not to think about him so I don't obsess about him and become entirely useless. Now that they are starting to ship, keeping those emotions and excitement directed to the other projects I'm trying to work on is going to be much more difficult. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hallonkatten Posted October 28, 2016 I'm so happy there's finally another Rin here! Also it's cool that you got those outfits because i was wondering how well the sd13 one would fit on Len myself. I still dont know if I'll end up getting it cos he's expensive enough but I'm glad to see it does look good on him. I'm so glad that they fit perfectly on him. The package said it would fit the DssB but it always a chance if it's gonna look good or not. But I though the blue set would fit Rin and Len so I'm glad it did Thank you all for liking the picture as well . I hope everyone will get their Rin or Len soon! I am so pleased with them and Lens body moves very well and is not loose at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
protosheis Posted October 29, 2016 Question for anyone who has gotten their Rin already, mine arrived this morning, but the wig seems to be somewhat off... The ends of the wig look wet and are clumped together and hard to the touch and theirs some hefty folds near the top. Is there some kind of styling voodoo I need to do to make this thing look at all like the previous pictures? Or did I get a bad wig and should contact Volks. I can't post links yet, so sorry for no pics or anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SisterKyoya Posted October 29, 2016 My guess that the 'clumpy' part is from the gel or whatever that Volks uses to style the wigs. It'a always crusty and I think it's gross. I think the 'folds' are near her part, correct? If so, it's intentional styling on Volk's end. If you look at the promo pics you can see that there is some really mild flatness in that area intended to style it a bit more, but my guess is you may have gotten a wig that the stylist was over zealous with. It's hard to know for sure without pictures, but that's my guess based on some of the limited girls we have gotten from Volks. ~Sister Kyoya Forum Blog: Badger Pocket Tales (Family story from the beginning) | { Old Family story reboot: Start Here! } Follow me on Twitter, Flickr & Instagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seventhfonist Posted October 29, 2016 This is my first lottery win. Is it typical of volks to ship some ahead of the schedule? I don't understand why some people's have shipped and been received ahead of schedule. It's not that I'm unhappy, I just want to try to understand. Mine hasn't shipped yet. Does it have to do with your country or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can't post links yet, so sorry for no pics or anything My Rin isn't like that (sans the 'hefty folds' although those are meant to be there). Her wig is super soft. Again its hard to tell without pictures but that doesnt sound right to me - I'm curious about the other lottery Rins now. EDIT= if yours is a lottery doll though, you didnt specify, I just assumed cos of people saying they got shipping notices although that would mean she would have shipped super duper fast. Speaking of disappointing wigs though I just got my Len today, and I was surprised at how dry his wig is. littlebirdzoom, jazijaz, koolgalblue and HallonKatten, since you all got Nagoya Preorder Lens, how is his wig? I'm wondering if its just mine or if there really is a difference between the preorder/lottery dolls. I dont mind that much cos I was able to soften it up with some Azone doll mist but I was still surprised by how dry it felt, considering how soft Rin's was straight out of the box. Anyway, that pout of his is so much cuter now that I get a good look at it It's also really fun having them both. I'm also a bit confused about people getting shipping notices 'early' cos I thought they'd all be sent out on the 29th Japan time - when people here were posting about it I assumed that maybe they sent the international ones a few days earlier since they'll still end up receiving them after the 29th anyway, but the fact that not everyone has shipping notices is weird. Oh well. You should all have them really soon if you don't already. I can't wait to see everyone else's Kagamines! It's like we've all been on this rollercoaster together since Septemeber last year and it's finally now reaching the end.
