AnyaCatSi Posted July 16, 2016 From Volks' twitter: So does this mean that it will be only one doll and we will know who it is tomorrow? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted July 16, 2016 Doesn't say it will be revealed tomorrow, it says there's a special display of all the preorder dolls for the 'guess the next one' promotion that they've set up for tomorrow. I assume the placard thing with the silhouette contains info on that contest. The way its worded makes it sound like the actual guessing game hasnt started yet and maybe tomorrow is when you can start submitting guesses? It's not really clear. But the 'generic mystery sillhouette' does prove its a girl. edit- maybe at the end of the event they'll bring out the doll and swap her with the placard though. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yukamina Posted July 16, 2016 If that silhouette indicates anything, then it will be a DD, not DDS, MDD, or DDSboy. I could be wrong, but the proportions don't look like the DDS body. My Etsy Shop ~~~ My DeviantArt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakuraSylph Posted July 16, 2016 Torino said: The way its worded makes it sound like the actual guessing game hasnt started yet and maybe tomorrow is when you can start submitting guesses? It's not really clear. That's correct. The VS/VIP members who picked up the DD Fes form described earlier in the thread are able to turn in their guesses beginning (and ending) this weekend at DD Fes. The display setup is essentially just there to remind people that the contest exists and that DD Fes is the time entries should be submitted. I don't believe it's intended to help point people at any particular guess, since the info card only has "????" lines on it. But I do bet you're right that once the correct answer is revealed that character will take the place of the silhouette. Probably with some pomp and cirbleepstance during the reveal ceremony there at Hobby Tengoku. SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foo Posted July 16, 2016 If the pre-order did include two dolls (and they're almost always two dolls) and one was male, they wouldn't give it away so easily. That is the weirdest feminine human shape I've seen a while. It's like it's trying to scream 'female doll!' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That is the weirdest feminine human shape I've seen a while. It's like it's trying to scream 'female doll!' It would certainly generate excitement if they replaced female silhouette with a male doll, or with more than one doll and then announced two winners. I could definitely see them having fun with people like that, and it would be a great PR stunt. One doll would pretty much rule out Sailor Moon, but not CCS. 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
Monty Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) This timetable says that guessing is open all day but the actual announcement is on a 'later day' https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CnhyaNMVUAAnGDG.jpg So my guess is Wonder festival (24th) or Nagoya Dolpa (August 7th) but who knows really.

Poofiemus Posted July 17, 2016 I'm gonna go with the Nagoya Dolpa; Volks tends to stick to their own events, for the most part. Also, it would be pretty expected then if they not only announced but revealed a prototype at the event. (And to top it off, sorting through the entries to find ones that guessed right is gonna take a while.) In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

Monty Posted July 17, 2016 Was literally just about to post this lol Dunno if its for when the preorder itself opens or for when they show it though. Hoping its the latter just cos damn do we really have to wait a month and 18 days to know *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mizya Posted July 17, 2016 ... Are you kidding me? =__= First they post that generic female DD/DDS-esque silhouette which made me doubt the possibility of MDD and/or a boy as a pre-order doll (which is what I'd really, really want)... and now they're planning on torturing us until September? Seriously Volks... ... I wish they'd post hints along the wait but somehow I get the feeling that the black page and counter is all we're gonna see, since they say it's a "mystery teaser site". T__T;; Loving this company is so hard sometimes. :'D I sure hope this is gonna be worth it...

nao Posted July 17, 2016 Did you guys heard of this? Is this a new body? dollfie dream pretty (DDP) or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted July 17, 2016 Not just a new body - Dollfie Dream Pretty (DDP) but also a new frame - F-cube(DD-F3). Now THAT'S interesting. Says it will be on display at Wonfes - not sure which. So theres the possibility that the new preorder DD could be on this new body. Maybe it'll be the step between MDD and DDS...? Or maybe it will be something like a mature-mini (ie a scaled down 'adult' proportioned doll the height of an MDD...although that would mean they'd most likely need a new range of smaller heads. I'm not sure if the new 'f-cube' frame is inside the DD Pretty, or if they are two separate products, but it says the f-cube is powered by some new mechanism. Damn is that interesting. Argh it's just a waiting extravaganza with Volks aint it. But as for the preorder DD, waiting until September to see something they only announced the existence of a week or so ago is...pretty good, really. Considering how long we had to wait to even see Rin and Len... *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sesshy Posted July 17, 2016 Is the countdown for the start of preorder (which case we may hear about character before), or for the announcement of character ? pretty confusing imo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yukamina Posted July 17, 2016 Wow I really want to know what the preorder and the DDP are, it's going to drive me crazy. I hope the DDP is a size between MDD and DDS, and I hope it's not like Smart Doll Mini or 1/2 scale. Those other scales are fine, but I don't want DDs that aren't proportionate to each other.

mizya Posted July 17, 2016 Dollfie Dream Pretty and the new frame seem interesting - although, I still wish they'd work on boy bodies to go with the existing female ones, but... oh well, it's something new at least. xD A size between MDD and DDS would be very cute. ♥ Or could they make a size smaller than MDD? Like, the Dollfie Dream equivalent for Yo-SD? That could be cute, although generally I'm not that into childlike dolls (at least when it comes to resin BJDs). Then again, an anime style chibi could be fun... >A>;; Torino said: But as for the preorder DD, waiting until September to see something they only announced the existence of a week or so ago is...pretty good, really. Considering how long we had to wait to even see Rin and Len... Perhaps, but at least they gave us an illustration and confirmation that they were working on Kagamine Rin & Len dolls. Whereas right now we don't even know what it is that they're working on. ^^; But hopefully once they finally reveal what character it is, they'll also have the prototype doll ready, and it won't end up like the wait to see the actual Rin & Len dolls...

foo Posted July 17, 2016 I wonder if this is a high torso joint body like DDdy and SmartDoll, although AFAIK DDdy uses the same upper frame as DD3 & DDS. I don't see how Sakura needs it either, that makes no sense It does look like a small frame though. SakuraSylph said: I wouldn't be surprised if they had the preorder doll's prototype there as well as the new body and frame. The countdown page linked before lists a month and twenty days though. Still, they did announce this a week in advance of WonFesu, so it could be related. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Judging by the frame picture, it looks like the torso joint will be hidden under the bust (just like DDdy and SmartDoll). I'm interested to see what other changes they've made with this new body though. I'm completely thrown for a loop with this body; I have no idea who the preorder girl could be now!

DivinitaAria Posted July 17, 2016 What if they're playing a cruel prank on us and it's just ANOTHER DD Miku lotto/pre order But seriously, I don't know if I can wait 1 mo 18 days! I'm so curious! It's gotta be something amazing for this countdown Rise - Rise // Rise #2 - Rise // Ritsuko - 2B // Momo - M.O.M.O. // Nayuki -Mikuru // Romi - 09 // Makoto - Sailor Jupiter // Mikasa - DD07 (WIP) Waiting on: DDH-25 for custom Akechi 🥰 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree, the frame looks like the joint is going to be right under chest. If the body is going to look anything like the "mysterious silhouette" teaser, it'll be some gorgeous female character with nice curves for sure! ♥ When I started thinking which character it could be, Scathach or Carmilla from Fate/Grand Order were the first ones that came to my mind. The game seems really popular in Japan and the character designs would fit the silhouette perfectly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vhdangel Posted July 17, 2016 I can totally see it being Luka. And they'll probably show the body or doll prototype at WonFest, but the preorder won't open until the countdown closes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
foo Posted July 17, 2016 I don't know, usually when Volks does a silhouette they're not misleading about it; you always can figure out if it belongs to something. This one just looks weird and generic, like they're saying not to bother using it to guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jadepixel Posted July 17, 2016 Ok, I'm gonna guess the new body type is something between DD and DDDy, with an emphasis on aesthetics over posability. Like maybe the leg is redesigned similarly to the 'high heel' leg of SD with no ankle joint for a smoother silhouette. A curvy girl designed to look good in skimpy clothes... that could be a lot of popular characters! Though my heart wants a Pretty Soldier, I can't hope too much for that >. jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was also thinking the cut may be under the bust like a DY more SMD style maybe?
