Edit: Thanks Yukamina! See second post!

 

So, Google translate is only going so far and I don't want to have this wrong, but it looks like they're going to have the next Limited Preorder (for VS/VIP only?) announced at the Dollfie Dream festival and there will be a contest for an early order? That second part is what I need help with and it makes less sense. What I know is that it will be happening the day that I can't be in Tokyo in any case and likely would be for Japan residents only. But I'm curious what it actually is.

 

Whether expected DD Fes 2016 DD orders limited planning!

I looked at the post and from what I understand there will be a contest at the DD Fes where you fill out a form to guess what the DD preorder doll will be. From the submissions, one correct entry will win the new DD. I think you can also enter the contest at Akihabara (Hobby Tengoku 7th floor).

 

 

Edit: fixed the Akihabara shop name

Thank you! That makes a lot more sense.

Hmmm, so does this basically confirm that our pre-order project this year will be one doll, and not two?

 

Or maybe it's two, and you just get the one you guess correctly? Hmmm...

Volks is actually giving away a DD? Or am I misunderstanding, and the actual prize is getting the preorder doll early, but still paying for it?

 

There has to be some hint somewhere about the new preorder. It seems a bit too soon for another Miku. Maybe an updated UBW Saber in casual wear with her coat to match Rin?

I think it is a free doll, but only one free doll for the entire contest?

 

And, of course, only VS/VIP members can enter so...

Ah, yeah. Just one free doll would make more sense. I'm still surprised that Volks would give even one away, though. That they would even give away one must mean this preorder character is a popular one, that Volks expects a major return on.

Two people I know think it might be Cardcaptor Sakura since the anniversary is coming up. Another thinks Sailor Moon. I could see both of those being strong possibilities.

Oh, Cardcaptors Sakura, yeah. If it's just one preorder DD, then I'd bet it's her. . . if there's more than one, though, I can see Sailor Moon and one other cast member.

 

. . . Tuxedo Kamen for first full-size DD boy, anyone?

If it's Cardcaptor Sakura and Sailor Moon, I'll be in big trouble. Those two were my gateway drug into anime, and thus very dear to my heart.

Yep, Yukamina is correct. VS/VIP members (only) can get that form shown on the blog, take it to DD Fes, and guess what the next preorder doll will be. Out of all people who guessed right, one person will be drawn by lottery to win that doll for free.

 

Volks gives away dolls (usually various kinds of SD) at every Dolpa during the Bingo Game. I'm not sure I'd read too much into them doing a giveaway for this DD, other than as a fun promotional thing to do.

 

At least this confirms that we'll be getting some kind of preorder doll this year even though it's not Rin/Len like people assumed it would be.

interesting.

Sakura is a possibility, although I have no idea if she'd look better as an MDD or DDS. MDD might look too young, DDS too old. I'll have a hard time resisting her though, especially if she's MDD. Has there been an MDD preorder before? First time for everything, whether it's Sakura or not. But I don't know if they'd release two MDDs in the same year. (Although she wouldn't come out till next year anyway)

 

Speaking of first times, there's a good possibility it'll be a boy, but I really can't think of many characters suited to that body type that are popular enough. Really hope it doesn't end up being Ciel from Black Butler - less than favourable opinions on the show aside, he has enough dolls as if is. Hopefully whoever it is will be a pleasant surprise.

 

I'll laugh if it ends up being Sakura Miku (...and get her, probably.)

I am forever a wet blanket, but chances of SailorMoon anything are zero. Less than zero!!

As prev experiences keep showing, BANDAI likes their properties and does NOT like to share.

This is why tehre's SM Figuarts but not Figmas. Why there's chibi SD blindboxes and no nendoroids.....

 

 

 

.... i will hope for a Sakura-chan tho!

The latest Card Captor Sakura takes place where she's in junior high, so that could be a DDS. And maybe Shaoran as the DDS boy.

 

Not having an MDD Sakura's kind of a pity though.

I'll laugh if it ends up being Sakura Miku (...and get her, probably.)

 

Yess! Of all the Miku designs I'd wanna see, that'd be top 3.

 

Although like others speculate, it could be Sakura from Cardcaptor or Sailor Moon. (I'd like a Love Live Dollfie personally, and seeing as the new spin off is coming out... Or since we got a twist on Rin and Len, maybe an Idolm@ster PO project? Or long shot, but one of the Madoka girls? Idk, at this point I'm tossing out ideas that may or may not be logical.)

My wonder is whether they'd do Shinji from Eva as he's the only one of the main children who hasn't been done yet.

 

Bandai have let the Pullips happen, so don't know there. CCS seems a natural progression because of the anniversary and all the outfits.

I'm still surprised that Volks would give even one away, though.

 

As a fun fact they gave away a free DearSD during the LA Dolpa on a splurge so I think Volks may actually do this on occasion, but only during special events? We'll probably never hear about them unless you are at said intimate event, or well, in something like this.

All I hope is it isn't another freakin' Miku. I don't want another of the same exact doll (She's getting old fast...).

 

The theory of a Sakura makes me so happy that now that's all I'm hoping for. How fitting too~ My next tattoo is gonna be Sakura themed and I'd love to be able to score a cute DD (Preferably MDD, but I'll take what I can) of her. I can follow a further theme of Sakura goodness. XD (Stupid I know)

Hmmm. . . Well since it can be either a female or male character now I have a few guesses. . .

 

Cardcaptor Sakura (I want this so much ^.^, maybe as a MDD)

Araragi & Shinobi (I want this SO BAD)

A Love Live Character

Sailor Moon

Both female and male Ranma from Ranma 1/2

A Persona character (20th anniversary)

Super Sonico

. . . I'm a bad guesser.

 

P.S. - I just realized something. Has an MDD character even been purchasable through pre-order before? O.O

Let's just hope it's Saber then d(^_^') For Type-Moon the Heaven's Feel movies are coming around, but I don't think Sakura & Rider are big enough for pre-orders. They could use an excuse for Gilgamesh though.

 

Araragi & Shinobu (I want this SO BAD)

That would be awesome, and for Kizumonogatari they could pick any female body type for Shinobu, MDD, DDS, DD, or DDdy But for Araragi they'd need an actual DD male (more buff like Eiji), not DDS. I'm also not convinced Araragi has pre-order 'power,' but any of the girls from that series are.

 

When I was in Akihabara in March, Love Live had a MASSIVE marketing push. All the UFO catcher machines everywhere were Love Live things XD

 

P.S. - I just realized something. Has an MDD character even been purchasable through pre-order before? O.O

Nope :/

I also hope it won't be yet another Miku... that would sting, especially right after the Kagamine twins ended up being lottery dolls. @__@; To me it seems like Miku has had her fair share of pre-orders already... I also would rather it wasn't Saber, I see her enough in the figure hobby. I don't really want to see the same kind of dominance between Miku and Saber in the doll hobby too... =.=

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Shinobu and Araragi, though. :3 Especially if Shinobu was MDD... that'd be so cute! ♥ But if they made Araragi I would also want Senjougahara to go with him... >A>

 

But IF they offered Sakura and Shaoran from CCS, then I'd totally forgive them about the Kagamine twins, lol! xD That'd be a real dream come true! *____* ♥ ♥ ♥ ... but somehow I kinda get the feeling that IF they made CCS dolls, they'd maybe rather make Sakura & Tomoyo and not Shaoran. :I It doesn't seem like I'm ever getting a Shaoran figma to go with my Sakura(s) either. /sobs

Recovering from the sadness after not being able to obtain Len (at least for his original price), I'm very thrilled to found someone brought up Cardcaptor Sakura as VOLKS possible release, a preorderable one even!! Oh how I'm so excited just thinking about this. I would've loved to own Len, he's very precious to me, not to mention I've always wanted a male Dollfie Dream. But if I have to make a way for Sakura Kinomoto, then I would. She's my ULTIMATE ALL TIME favorite character. I can certainly rely on VOLKS about making Sakura possible, because they managed to pull off a perfect Len (otherwise I wouldn't be so overly dramatic and sad about not getting him ).

 

I agree with Foo, if VOLKS want to celebrate Cardcaptor Sakura's anniversary, It'd only make sense if they follow the current arc from Clamp's original. Sakura and her friends has entered middle school. She's in her early teenage years. It'd only make sense if Sakura appear as a DDS. I also don't think the former Sakura (aged 10) would look right on an MDD. MDD for me is too young/short.

 

If we're right about Sakura being a DDS, they might also release Shaoran in DDS BOY-TYPE!! I mean they couldn't possibly waste their Boy-type base body only for Len and and they couldn't possibly waste this chance. It really makes sense

Instead of doing the Snow Miku, and perhaps a Sakura Miku, they should of just released them as outfits with Wigs and eyes included. I already have Miku, I don't need 2 more, but I'd just love love love to have the outfits.

I'd LOVE for Sakura to be the next preorder. CCS is a series that really got my into anime, I love it so much. Imagine all the outfits she could get. Personally I'd like MDD size but I'd be okay with DDS too.

 

I wonder what other characters are likely for a preorder. Volks character choices are often a surprise to me, and I'm not even familiar with some of the characters they've chosen in the past. My sense of what's popular among otaku in Japan is not that great apparently.

I would love a Sakura Miku, Sonico, Love Live girl...all good ideas that I would certainly preorder. I would absolutely love to see someone that could be done with the DDDy body. That one isn't utilized as often as others it seems. I just remembered that Danny is doing Love Live girls (at least Miho to begin with, preorder in Oct. I think...no limits) as SmDolls. I doubt that they would give the license to them both.

 

If they are building on series they have already begun, Leafa or Kirito from Sword Art Online would be nice, as would Shion or T'elos (love the tan body, but I dislike the character) from Xenosaga. My dream doll would be Hinagiku from Hayate the Combat Butler and that opens the door for a lot of cool characters, including another teen boy (Hayate).

 

There are so many possibilities. I am interested to see who it is.

There's only one thing I can feel certain about with this preorder: Volks thinks whoever it is will be more popular than Rin and Len combined. Why else would they make the very-hyped Vocaloid twins lottery instead of preoder? They only do one preorder a year, so they'd pick the character(s) they think will make the most sales the most easily.

 

Of course, if they pick some character that actually generates less hype than Rin and Len, I'm probably going to laugh, cry, and headdesk at the same time, because that would indicate that the Volks execs have completely lost their minds beyond recovery.
