BeyondTime Posted February 11, 2018 DDS doesn't just get you a shorter girl (that'd be perfect in my view) but an overall younger-looking one with most all body dimensions shrunk down. The larger heads start to look too large on it to me; i.e. I think a DD like your Yaya is great as a DDS, but feel Rin's head looks out of proportion on it. I find that very true of Chihaya Kisaragi on a DDS. Canonically she is a very slender character and should be on a DDS imo, but her head just looks a bit too big on it. I put her on a DD-SS Bust body and her head looks much better relative to her proportions, but now her body isn't quite small enough. Makoto Kikuchi, and Miki Hoshi on the other hand look just right on a DDS. 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
Oni-Chan Posted February 12, 2018 well seeing Luka is currently in production, sounds like she might be the May doll.... ? :/ I have more dollfies than my age in years *×* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zaliayn Posted February 17, 2018 If Luka is potentially going to be released in May, then I'd better get saving! I can't say it bothers me if she's on the DDIII body, but I do have my fingers crossed for a more mature looking sculpt - at least in comparison to Miku and Rin/Len. If she does look too young or similar to the previous vocaloids, then I may pass on buying or entering the lottery for her. And I had been secretly hoping they'd use her VX4 outfit, but I'm not surprised they're going with the classic one instead! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty Posted February 18, 2018 I think 2B/9S will be May and Luka will be August, but Volks keep throwing me off with surprise releases that delay my predictions. 8') *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Afaik 9S would be a surprise if he did pop up in May. On the image with the announcement for 2B, it said in smaller letters "9S is to follow" or something like that. So, I imagine he will be released after 2B, but if they for some reason delayed 2B and she was meant to be released earlier, they might get released together?

I just recall people saying they hoped for 9S as a release when 2B was announced. In light of that 2B/9S makes total sense. Not a Nier fan myself, but I know a lot of folks have been anxiously waiting for this. Maybe May will be a good month for them. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

Monty Posted April 6, 2018 My laptop broke so I can’t get her...I have to save my money for 9S ;_; I hope she’s as easy to get later on as the other Vocaloids have been. I’m not sure how I feel about her mouth yet but I’m really happy I’ll get to see her in person next month at Dolpa and probably also at Fu Kuoka Volks. I’ll get some good closeup pics from the latter - she’ll probably be behind glass at Dolpa. *twitter*instagram*art* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noxxbunny Posted April 6, 2018 Part of me was secretly hoping I wouldn't end up liking her. But I do. Hopefully she'll be as easy to get as Rin and Len ended up being. Unfortunately can't get her right now either. Current Crew: Kaito(DDH07), Kagamine Rin, Kaito V3, 9S, Ruby(Arle), Devola(2B), Anya Forger Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfx Posted April 6, 2018 I haven't liked any of Volks open-mouthed sculpts and this doesn't change that for me. I also feel she doesn't look like the character and especially the extra pointy chin seems wrong. However, I've always felt Volks' Miku looks nothing like the character either and Rin being the only one that does so I'm not surprised here, and I also seem to be fairly alone in my assessment. They went with a sculpt that's similar in style to Miku's (and Len's) which I expected but I don't really feel is the right choice here too. Nevertheless, happy she's being made as it means I can have outfits for a custom. Also, previous speculation about bust and body type. Looks like a L bust to me? Actually looks like she probably is a DDdy? The bust looks pushed-up like either a DDdy or a DD3 shapely bust, and to my knowledge the latter has never been used on a licensed doll has it?

Oni-Chan Posted April 6, 2018 The pointy chin could just be volks bad photos. :/ I'm on the fence for her. I think she's pretty, but her mouth and chin are a bit :/ I'll wait for user pics first, but if I have the $$ I'll probably enter for her anyway ^×^ some dolls look so much better in person I have more dollfies than my age in years *×* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kitsune Posted April 6, 2018 Also, previous speculation about bust and body type. Looks like a L bust to me? Actually looks like she probably is a DDdy? The bust looks pushed-up like either a DDdy or a DD3 shapely bust, and to my knowledge the latter has never been used on a licensed doll has it? Luka looks like a DDIII with shapely L bust, her thighs don't look thick enough for a DDdy. Beatrice and Kos-Mos come to mind as licensed characters with that bust too.

Bellatrix Posted April 6, 2018 A part from the pointy chin (that I can always sand down a bit myself), this is a massive YES for me. Literally a sculpt to die for, I can't wait to see if it is a pre-order or a lottery, since I really want her ✩ 𝓥𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓶 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔁 ✩ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bellatrix Posted April 6, 2018 Although I have just seen a closeup that suddenly undermined my opinion! LOL Teeth would have been a MUCH better choice, than that pink shade that reminds me a little bit too much of this, I definitely need a few more shots to make up my mind, since the full-body preview was such a massive YES to me, but now I am not so sure anymore. ✩ 𝓥𝓲𝓬𝓽𝓲𝓶 𝓸𝓯 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓑𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓪𝓭𝓸𝔁 ✩ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kumi Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) She doesn't look like Luka, period. It's some kind of cosplay maybe... Just like with Usagi, Volks didn't do their homework. Edited April 6, 2018 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree with you there. I'm looking forward to see some repainted pics of her when she's released. I love her sculpt, but I think she would look better with a slightly different faceup. Not really fond of the pink shade around her eyes either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marishade Posted April 6, 2018 I was really hoping I would not like her! I do not need another doll right now and I really dislike pink so I thought I was safe. I am not even the biggest fan of her voice. But ohmygoodness I think I really want her. That face! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amara77 Posted April 6, 2018 She doesn't look like Luka, period.It's some kind of cosplay maybe... Just like with Usagi, Volks didn't do their homework. I agree 100% I have Usagi and while adorable it’s just not her. I’m not a huge vocaloid fan but I feel like Luka should’ve had a more mature look. Her open mout reminds me of a frog. Perhaps with a re-paint she could look cuter. But I just don’t think it looks like the character. http://amara77.wordpress.com blog and shop Spoke too soon....

Sniiksnak Posted April 6, 2018 I like her, though I can guarantee she’ll look much better in person. Rin looks nothing like her photo op. The mouth is kind of off putting. Looks fine far away, but I feel like she wants to lick my face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kumi Posted April 6, 2018 I like her, though I can guarantee she’ll look much better in person. It's quite possible (or almost sure), but with these facial features she still won't look like Luka I’m not a huge vocaloid fan but I feel like Luka should’ve had a more mature look. This. She looks far too young. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
