Anna-neko Posted November 2, 2017 Any chance someone might be wanting to part with the Saber dress? I'd really super like to get my hands on one. Have you tried starting a split thread to check interest better.... also, how badly do u need that dress to be Volks official, 'cause From-sen totalz has a replica of her dress as well you know.... (plus u know, orig Volks dress was made for M-bust and this new one will be for S-bust. Just minor thing to keep in mind) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(plus u know, orig Volks dress was made for M-bust and this new one will be for S-bust. Just minor thing to keep in mind) I don’t have an original Saber to compare to here, but if the bodice for Saber is all one piece this is a really good point. A bodice made for an S bust DDS would be really tight on an M DD. I’ve tried with a few outfits and I worried about damaging them because of the tightness. Volks sells stuff labeled SS - M, but it doesn’t really work, and all they really do is cut costs. Even DDS to DD isn’t a nice fit. They’ve done this with some of the iM@S outfits, and the fit just looks a bit too loose to me. The stage outfits should fit the girls shape well. Sorry I’ll stop ranting now. On Saber Extra the top was a three piece affair with a corset, the sleeves, and a bra as separate pieces. The bra part was made for L but it can work on an M too. It’s made from very elastic material. It wouldn’t work on an S because it doesn’t fill it in enough. 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

A bodice made for an S bust DDS would be really tight on an M DD. I’ve tried with a few outfits and I worried about damaging them because of the tightness. orig Saber: white strapless dress as a separate piece from the blue overdress with the boob-window. The underdress has exceptionally crappy piece of velcro holding it closed in the back, and honestly... without the blue dress over it I couldn't keep the damn thing staying up & closed on normal M-bust Saber! (maybe the velcro wore out with age? dunno... it just didn't wanna stay closed!) Blue overdress can more or less fit any bust, seeing how the entire front is cut out anyway Amusingly enuff, orig Saber didn't come with any panties! She's the only Saber who doesn't ... She had petticoat and knee-length pants, but not undies! Will the new Saber come with panties? Lets wait and see! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She had petticoat and knee-length pants, but not undies! Will the new Saber come with panties? Lets wait and see! With Extra you could definitely use her outfit on any bust as long as you provided an alternate bra that fit the overall design of her outfit. I kind of hope new Saber is the same way, but of course her breastplate itself probably won't work on anything larger than M. What I wish Volks would do with outfits that have separate bras is produce the outfit itself for the size of the doll, then add multiple bras. Like if they made a DD/DDS sized Twinkle Star they could easily release it with four bra sizes. I'd pay the extra cost to have a perfect fit for my bevy of iM@S girls. If memory serves my Tokyo SS Ami Ayase didn't include panties either and she was a pretty recent release. She has a skintight pair of "leather" pants that preclude wearing them. Maybe if the doll has an outfit that doesn't need them then they don't include them? What's kind of disappointing is they never posted any "what's included" photos for the FGO releases. I use those to keep track of what items came with what doll. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

Anna-neko Posted November 4, 2017 What's kind of disappointing is they never posted any "what's included" photos for the FGO releases. I use those to keep track of what items came with what doll. prev Saber pre-orders (Nero & Alter v2) never had those either. Plenty of promo shots of dolls themselves, but not the outfit pieces. Maybe because they're still busy tweaking bits here & there for final production run? anyway, while I'm here - anyone who's doing preorders thru Volks Intl, did you credit card go thru? Mine been stuck in "pending" for full week and wondering if it's just me, or is Volks this slow with everyone else as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Talolili Posted November 5, 2017 Any chance someone might be wanting to part with the Saber dress? I'd really super like to get my hands on one. I'm going to be posting a split soon. I don't need the dress armor or sword. Just the nude doll and wig. If anyone is looking for the other pieces let me know. Should have the split posted in a day or so.

pichu10176 Posted November 5, 2017 Does anyone in SoCal want to order Saber and/or Jeanne with me? We would be able to save on shipping cost and I could give them to you during a doll meet up. I was playing around with their website and saw shipping one dd would be around 5000yen and 2 dd would be 8000yen. Of course, since the fgo dolls have armor, the weight and shipping cost would be higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BeyondTime Posted November 5, 2017 Ah, I didn't realise the Sabers were a small bust! I don't desperately need the dresses to be Volks Originals so I'll take a look at the From-Sen totalz. Thanks for the tip off! Some of the earlier Saber releases were DDII & some were DDIII. I’ve only noted II or III where I know which it was. Saber Altria is DDS-F3 S bust. She is the first Saber who is DDS and the first S Bust Saber. Jeanne (Saberface) DD-F3 L Shapely Bust Saber Lily DDII M Bust Saber Extra DDIII L bust.

Ekidonia Posted November 5, 2017 In fact, bust size depends of the character she represents : Saber (the blue one), Saber lily, Saber Alter and Saber Santa are all the same character : Arthoria Pendragon. Arthoria doesn't have big boobs (she might me A or B cup), so S or M bust is good. They are originaly from Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Saber Lily is a outfit you can unlock in the game Fate/Unlimited Codes and Saber Santa is an alternative outfit forum Fate/Grand Order (if i don't make mistakes). Saber (the red one) is Nero. She have big boobs so L cup is fine ! She is from Fate/Extra, Fate/Extra CCC. Ruler is Jeanne d'arc, and she also have big boobs. L cup is her size ^^ She is from Fate/Apocrypha. Btw, all Saber should be on DDS i think, as Arthoria is small (1m54), Nero even smaller (1m50). Ruler is the biggest with her 1m60.

mizya Posted November 5, 2017 I'm personally not interested in either of these dolls, but I came across some really nice close ups of them while browsing twitter, so I thought that I'd link them here. Ruler: Saber: If they have to make characters from the Fate series, I wish they'd make some of the guys lol... Gil-sama as a DD would be faaabulous. Although they'd have to make a taller & muscular body first (DDdy equivalent for guys pls Volks).

BeyondTime Posted November 5, 2017 Btw, all Saber should be on DDS i think, as Arthoria is small (1m54), Nero even smaller (1m50). Ruler is the biggest with her 1m60. I think sometimes they go by age as opposed to height when picking a body size. They really need a cup size in between M & L too. Something just above an M like an M+. L is really best for characters like Jeanna, Kos-Mos or Kanu who really are drawn that large by their creators. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

Well, i just was talking about the height ^^ About the cup size, Nero and Jeanne REALLY are large. So it fits the character well.

I have no idea what they did with him after, I thought he'd go in the museum in Kyoto but he just disappeared. Maybe one of the staff kept him personally. But that's why they never told more about it - there was nothing to tell. They did the same thing with an Alto for a Marcos's Frontier display. Now that there's more interest in them I hope something official happens. guh the more I see of Jeanne's sculpt the more I like it.

gaiaswill Posted November 9, 2017 May have to preorder from Volks USA, but for a different reason than expected. Apparently Volks Japan won't let me add both Jeanne and Saber to the same order.

BeyondTime Posted November 9, 2017 May have to preorder from Volks USA, but for a different reason than expected. Apparently Volks Japan won't let me add both Jeanne and Saber to the same order. Last time I had to do something like that I got hit for double shipping. Jeanne is shipping a month or two after Saber, so no matter what you will get two shipping charges. It's specified on the pre-order site info. http://www.volks.co.jp/fgo/en/schedule/#step "If you place pre-orders for the both DDS Altria and DD Jeanne, they will be shipped separately and the shipping fee will be charged twice. We cannot ship them together. Your kind understanding is appreciated." "Altria and Jeanne have different delivery schedule♪ These items are scheduled to be delivered in Autumn 2018. DDS Altria will be shipped first followed by DD Jeanne in one or two months. You want to place pre-orders for the both, but worry about the payment? Don' worry! You do not need to pay for the both in one payment. " 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
