misskale Posted September 17, 2018 At the very least, those are not animetic eyes, and the faceups aren't like other DDs either. The other more realistic sculpted DDs, KOS-MOS, Rise, Alna, Sheryl and others, all still have animetic eyes and fit the anime doll aesthetic (vague as that may be). Yep this. That's what makes anime style dolls look more realistic too is the eyes. A lot of people put eyes for resin dolls in their dollfie dreams and it's so different. I love it. These guys had more realistic eyes in game and they do here too. And their faceups are less anime style than well.... Anime. More realistic paint job too. Volks really nailed it! I think part of why I prefer 2b is her eyes feel like the right mix of animetic and realistic in the one picture. So they make it feel like a DD version. 9s looks more traditional SD. But I'm over the moon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfx Posted September 17, 2018 I mean she literally does but go off. As far as faceups go that's a repainted Rise. Obviously I'm wrong about the nostrils; the others don't have them (I double-checked before posting originally but she is the one I didn't look at). Still, if you don't see any difference in style between Rise and 2B then there's nothing more to say and I'll just agree to disagree and drop the subject. To everyone else--I didn't mean to derail the thread; sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aile Posted September 17, 2018 I'm honestly so glad that they made 2b and 9s this year's preorder dolls, they look so stunning on the photos that I know, I JUST KNOW I need to PO them both now and not worry about having to fight a lottery for them I kinda wish that 9s had a different eyeshape, but honestly that's just a super nitpick because I had wanted to get him to shell an OC into him, but I really adore I'm just really glad volks is releasing another DD with a sd-esque face really /w\ . Always adored Rise sculpt for that, so its nice to have another doll that fits the bill hhhhHHH CREW: Haruna (Alter V2 remakeup ver) ☆ Nyx (Rise remakeup ver) ☆ Senka (Rise ) ☆ Aila (DDH-01) ☆ Nero (Saber Extra) ☆ Sora (Miku) ☆ Anemone (Sasara V2) ☆ Beauvoir (Sheryl Nome Remakep ver) ☆ Nymnir Nyven (Yuriko & Liliru) ☆ Jeanne D' Arc ☆ Y'shtola ☆ Leucothea (2b Remakeup ver) IG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marishade Posted September 17, 2018 Guys. I was actually really hoping Volks would do a terrible job on these two. . . That way I could pass on them and feel like I did not miss out. . . But sonofabiscuit they look so perfect! I am so upset because now I think I really want them! I am even trying to talk myself into getting them with her being a Ddy and him being a dd because I do not have a ddy or a male dd. . . I am actually making my way through the game right now which makes this even worse. I passed on Saber, Ruler, Asuna, Kirito, and Luka. . . but I do not know if I will be able to NOT get these two. They are just so perfect!!!! Here's to hoping their prices are not too astronomical, I am trying to save up for my own place after all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eiko82 Posted September 17, 2018 Holy moly, those two look AMAZING!!!! I'm not a Nier Automata fan but I'm really excited to see what people will do with these dolls. Would love to see the girl repainted with a slightly happier expression. I do wonder how badly those outfits will stain.

Mimiyo3 Posted September 17, 2018 I was talking about the nostrils. I just used the first good quality picture of the sculpt I could find. But yeah I'm so in. Anyone interested in just 2B's clothes and other things? Cause I'd be wanting a second one to turn into A2. I also know someone interested in a similar deal with 9S cause he looks a lot like a character of his. Present!

I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't, given source material he's a scanner type who 'technically' can't weild a weapon , but I kinda hope he does to justify that 78k yen price tag (unless pod actually takes up the extra cost for it lmao) CREW: Haruna (Alter V2 remakeup ver) ☆ Nyx (Rise remakeup ver) ☆ Senka (Rise ) ☆ Aila (DDH-01) ☆ Nero (Saber Extra) ☆ Sora (Miku) ☆ Anemone (Sasara V2) ☆ Beauvoir (Sheryl Nome Remakep ver) ☆ Nymnir Nyven (Yuriko & Liliru) ☆ Jeanne D' Arc ☆ Y'shtola ☆ Leucothea (2b Remakeup ver) IG Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

marishade Posted September 17, 2018 Aile, But he does use a sword in game. So. . . I would think it would be included (his is freaking gold colored, how cool would that be?!) for 'screen accuracy'? . . . But maybe that is just me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Monty Posted September 17, 2018 While I don’t think the prices are too bad given the detail and the pods, remember they have resin eyes and possibly the f3 frame (not sure if this was confirmed but don’t see why not if saber/jeanne did) which contributes to a price increase as well. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SisterKyoya Posted September 17, 2018 Volks, why do you keep doing things that make me want to swear at you? I thought I had totally prepared against anything you could throw out this preorder. Then you have to throw out a boy, with a resin style face that looks more like the OC Tama is based on then the resin boy I have. Perfect enough that I actually started crying. Even the eyes are perfect from what I can tell at the moment. He is so right that Even Raven was shocked at how much he he looks like my character I've been writing for 8 years. The clothes are wrong, his haircut is somewhat off but the color is right, the eyes are the perfect shade of blue, but most of all his sculpt could only be more perfect if he looked a couple years older. But still that is no complaint in the least, just an observation. This is flooring me more than if Volks made Kyoya. Honestly for quite some time I have been wishing that Volks would make some SD-like DD. THIS specific looking character was not what I expected. Part of me wants to scream "no preorders!" at myself. Gosh darn it, I haven't even paid for Saber or Ruler yet! This whole last year I've been telling myself there would be no more preorders. Without a doubt I know if I don't I'd forever be kicking myself. I hope this means that they'll make many more molds in this style as I love it, and I'd love to see it become a more common thing. I totally second this. I love the DD type sculpts but there are also quite a lot of the resin ones I like too... I'm just not confident with resins, how slippery they are, and how much they weigh. The one resin boy I have I'm always afraid of dropping him, especially since I spend most of my time downstairs where we have all cement floors. I've thought of switching his resin sculpt to a vinyl body but the yellowing matches the body he has... At least I have time to sort out what I'm going to do about the preorder. I expect there will be a down payment so that won't be a shock like last time. ~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
magique Posted September 17, 2018 Why is 9S so cute oh my god. Anyone know when these two would theoretically be coming out? I need to prepare! The last two pre-order projects have started shipping in October a year after the pre-orders were placed, but the idolm@ster dolls in 2017 got split into two groups because of the number of orders they received. One batch shipped in October and one in November if memory serves me. If that happens this time, and there is a good chance it will given that this is a popular property, the best way to get into the first batch is pre-order on October 20th (Oct 19th in the US.) They will release a schedule when the special site is fully up, but unless something has changed in their production line expect that these will start to ship in October 2019. Edit: One other note. If you are in North America and order through Volks USA you will probably be asked to pay around October 2019, but shipment is usually around 2 months afterwards. They ship the dolls from Japan to Volks USA, Volks USA inspects them for quality, and then ships them to you by whatever method you choose. Thank you so much! They have exceeded my expectations... rip my wallet. I was hoping they'd be later, but let's see if I can pull this lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfx Posted September 17, 2018 (edited) Just to add one point to that, The Idolmaster preorder was three dolls instead of the usual two which may be part of the reason it was split into two shipments. Edited September 17, 2018 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
