I NEED that new outfit! The whole thing is just to sweet! And the piano skirt, omg!

IKR?  grabby hands

I don't think I'll have any money left to get it after going to see Duran Duran in concert that same month, but I can dream.

I took a while to get around to trying it but I think the Hanami Coord looks good on Luka! I don’t know why it doesn’t say it fits L bust because there isn’t any gapping and the stretching is pretty minimal IMO. I think the classy look suits her expression.

Sorry Rin and Miku…it’s hers now.

The Dreamy Autumn Wear site is up: https://dollfie.volks.co.jp/dd/special/piapro/product/drs_miku18.html

As well as the online site page:

https://dollfie.ec.volks.co.jp/item/4518992451633.html
The release date is the 12th of Oct for DD Gathering/October Collection, and it will also be sold at Osaka Magical Mirai.

However, weird stipulation on the online store - you can’t order it with anything else?? I don’t think the Hanami Coord had that, so I wonder if it’s packaged in a box like how the Glowing Snow one was? I don’t really understand this, and it will unfortunately make the October collection a bit harder for some if they need to check out twice.
Edit: I just noticed it doesn’t ship until November, which explains why, but if it’s a clickwar preorder then it will still require separate checkout on the same day as the other clickwar stuff, so…

Has the Snow Princess outfit reissues been shipped yet?

 

Edit: yes lmao. I guess my friend shop was just sitting on my order.

I shouldn't complain because I don't even have a DD that could wear the new Snow Miku set, but is anyone else disappointed in how similar the wig's blues are? The illustration has a pop of light blue in the hair that is basically lost in the wig.

I was able to afford the "Winter Delicacy" outfit, so when it arrived, I put Miku in it.  She looks so happy to be wearing a food-orientated outfit!

I did not put the green wig-things on her wig.  I didn't want them to pull the waves out of shape.  Maybe its me, but it seems that this wig had more waves in it than almost any other Miku wig I have.

I can see where you are coming from! There is a small section of switch in the pig tails but I also can't really see that brighter light blue color from the illustration. For me I am excited for it because of the construction/style of the wig which I think they translated really well to doll form. Hopefully there is more color variation in the wig and we just can't properly see it due to the angle of the stock photos (fingers crossed ah)!

It looks like the Snow Miku 2025 outfit is going to be a preorder!  YAAAAY!   That means I don't have to worry about a lottery...yet.  I'm just waiting for Volks USA to list a price, I haven't seen one in dollars yet. 

Now to make sure that I have enough on my CC to still be able to get Sakura Miku as well.  I swear, my cc hates me.

Not that it’ll be relevant to this thread for another year but the 2026 Snow Miku contest theme was announced yesterday as ‘Happy Patisserie’, which definitely has a lot of potential for cute designs. (Although, there’s also the potential for a lot of entries with whipped cream shaped hair, or other types of highly stylised hair unlikely to work right as a doll wig, but when I vote on the finalists I admit ‘will this work as a Volks outfit?’ isn’t really my first priority)

"Whipped cream shaped hair?!?"    I can't wait to see that!

I usually forget to vote, so unless someone posts a link, I may not find it until it's too late to vote.

Well, the finalists just got announced and you can vote for one right now. And there is indeed whipped cream hair.

I really can’t see any of these being faithfully recreated in DD form (maybe #2?), but I personally like #1 and #5 the best. I love the lavender theming on #1, it’s very cute and very Hokkaido.

I feel like #5 would be the cutest doll outfit, while #3 would be the cutest nendoroid. Also a big fan of #1.

#2 is my favourite! The rest all look same-y with previous snow mikus in my opinion

I think 1, 2, 5, or 6 would work the best as doll outfits, but 1 is my personal pick from this bunch. There were several other designs that didn't win that I think should have made it into finalists though 😢

I agree, there were so many good SM 2026 designs I saw being posted on twitter this year. But my fave is definitively #2 from this selection though! I love how simple and sweet she is, and her hair buns are so cute. But I do think #1 would pair well with my Miku 15th anniversary doll, especially since #1 has a large spoon and 15th Anni has a big fork lol. I'd honestly be happy with any of these 6 this year tho, but #2 would make me happiest.

I LOVE the hair on 2. It's not a style I see often, so I sort of hope it wins purely on that lol. But otherwise they're all cute. I never actually buy the outfits, but really I love to see them on others' dolls.

I voted for 4, the strawberry cat ears are so cute 🥰 I'd be happy about 1,3 and 5 winning as well

I liked Pretzel Miku from the submissions for the novel hairshape, was fun imagining what they would've done for the other cryptonloids

I don't particularly like any of the finalists to be honest.  Number 5 is okay, but only just.  It looks like 2026 won't have a noteworthy Snow Miku in my book.

Maybe it’s the DD f3 2.0 L that is the issue. 

Hmmm…. I think they are all pretty cute, but I don’t like 2. Maybe it would look better as a doll, but I just don’t like the style of the outfit or hair. I ended up voting for 3, but I like several of the others too.
