Yes! I don't want anything. Although some people would consider this a bad thing

 

White Fur Knit Dress Set and Gray Knit Dress Set are pretty cute though.

I do love the blue folklore set/ My only wish though is that the skirt and bustier part were separate. I've been longing for a blue midi skirt for a long time. It's going to be a hard pick between that and the white knit dress.

 

Edit: Actually I've been longing for ANY blue outfits so boomshakalaka. Consider it bought.

I just want the hooded coat, and yeah, after how much I spent at Dolpa afterparty I'm relieved lol. It'd look good on mellykins. But dammit volks! Why didn't you make it in MSD size too?! I've been looking everywhere for one just like that for my Renee ;-;

Was surprised to see so many idolm@sters modeling.

Cute, but nothing I really want in particular. The most noticeable thing to me was how many of the models this month were im@s girls. xD Anya looks quite nice in the blue folklore set.

Hyping up for the next idolmaster girl?

 

 

Lucky for me, i only want plaid mini dress set ^×^

I love the Folklore dresses (yay Octoberfest :p ) but not enough to buy them.

Only thing I'm really interested in is the DDP socks! I feel like that size might be pretty hard to find or do I just not know where to look?

I've been looking for a parka like the one Miki is modeling, I hope I can get it xDD

Hyping up for the next idolmaster girl?

Possibly! I hope Volks will make Kaede look beautiful. Honestly tho I'd be way more excited if it were a hint at a future DD MAN from im@s SideM instead but I shouldn't get my hopes up. Maybe next year.. (unless Danny actually gets a license for them.. which I'm both excited/concerned about because I'd want those guys to be done right.. which may mean that two different companies could work in its favor)

The plaid mini dress is what I'm on the fence about getting. The girl I want it for will be on a body Volks didn't even make yet lol(DDP M bust). It does seem like Volks has a lot coming in the next few years but I'm so impatient. xD

Obviously it's too early to tell, but possibly stuff made for 50cm obitsus could work? Azone makes cute socks for them every once in a while. After Iori and Yayoi are released and DDP is compared to Obitsu 48/50cms in detail we'll know for sure how well clothes can be swapped. I'm guessing the chances are quite high.

Out of this release, all I'm interested in are the SB-SD-210 shoes.

 

The folklore girl sets are just not quite getting over that hurdle to making me want them. Maybe the blue one, but easily something I feel I can skip.

Yay! More Dreaming Girl dresses. I missed out on the blue one they had because I wasn't paying attention. Plus they have a set of normal Mary Janes to go with my high heel Mary Janes. They are my favorite style of shoe so I want all of them for Miku.

 

The Folk dresses are interesting. The embroidery reminds me of Frozen, so would that make it more Scandinavian style embroidery? Hmmm, I'll have to look that up this weekend because now I really want to know why that style of embroidery looks so familiar to me.

Yup, they're definitely inspired by traditional Scandinavian costumes. I grew up in a heavily Norwegian population and wore a Bunad for special events when I was a little girl, and these have a similar look and feel (although the original folklore outfits were closer).

 

I am REALLY disappointed that, for two of the outfits, they attached the bustier to the skirt. If they had been separate (so you could mix/match), I would buy them in a heartbeat. But since they're attached, I'm not sure I will...

Looks like just the black shoes and the plaid MDD dress for me. Which is good, I spend too much already.

I'm sad that I don't want anything.

I shouldn't be, but I am :p

 

I like the green coat, but it's not either of my girls' style or color, and the plaid outfits seem somehow...dated to me. I'm uncertain as to why--for all I know they could be following current trends in Japan.

 

I guess I'm disappointed because I wanted a cute wintry outfit that would suit Mei :p

Or for the two red skirted ones they just dug up Neris'es default and brushed the dust off with some minor modifications? At least that was my first impression... but not in a bad way.

 

The old folklore sets were perhaps more russian in flavor than scandinavian (the babushka name a big lean towards that direction also), but these wouldnt look out of place if trying to make some kind of vintage european field diodrama.

Oh boy I like everything ugh...I can probably skip the folkloredresses...I've been wanting to make snow white and rose red dresses though. But those casual outfits and the jacket...and shoes ugh. I'm kind of wanting to save in case Kaede looks as good as her art, but with Volks you never know...

I also thought they looked dated. Are they rereleases of older outfits...?

This is the autumn collection so there should be cute wintery stuff for december Dolpa. Although you'd have to wait until midwinter instead of having it in time for winter I guess...

I like the knit dresses (they look cozy, perfect for a couple of the ladies!) and the boots but that's about it. Will I have the money to try and buy them though? We'll see...

The DDP body is so cute! Really glad I pre-ordered Iori now. Seeing more pics of pre-order girls is getting me pumped! ^_^

 

I feel like the outfits they show on DDP are reworks of older Volks sets, can't recall the names though. Just remember Mariko wearing a similar plaid dress some years back. The DDP socks makes sense- they can probably fit other socks, but who knows where the hem will end up, so these are designed for the mid-thigh cut. The knit dresses are cute, I really like the removable hood.

 

And of course I like the Bavarian themed sets, Neris's default is one of my faves. Wish I could just get the blouse though since the rest seems pretty simple for the price. Neris's skirt has a lot more ruffles and really nice trim on the skirt and petticoat, just a lot more details overall.

The one thing I NEED is those MDD boots. The fall outfits and folkore sets are cute but not must haves. The first three outfits are not my thing at all though, kinda frumpy.

Are the DDP girls using new hand sculpts? They don't seem strangely huge :/

The hoods on the knit dresses are removable. It's a nice touch. They're probably the only items I'll get.

Maybe because the hands look a tad small on the DD girls? I mean, their large hands look very natural on them too, and they're quite a bit bigger... just a guess, I can't tell if they are new hands, but they don't look like it.

The regular DD hands do look small on DD/DDS girls. I just compared them to my own hands and I'm closer to proportionate for the large version ones. And I have kinda small hands for someone my size. Then again anime hands tend to run small just like heads run big and legs run long. So human proportions are kinda broken by standard at this point.
