Gabriel Posted March 7, 2020 Volks USA is holding a Miku event from March 9 to 31. Oddly, no Miku dolls posted so far. Although Luka is up. And if you need Miku hands looks like you're in luck. The other things listed right now are fairly common Cryptonoloid outfits. Nothing major like Ribbon Girl or Little Red Riding Miku. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juxtaposition Posted March 7, 2020 I'm tempted by the Miku carry case! I like how it looks, but I don't expect to travel with or carry my SD-sized dolls around very much. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like how it looks, but I don't expect to travel with or carry my SD-sized dolls around very much. It's a beautiful case, but I've always felt it screams "steal me." I went with the plain black case, and the plaid one. I carted 6 dolls to the LA Dolpa in those two cases. 1 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

Given that Luka goes for 100,000 yen on Mandarake versus $690 on Volks USA, if anyone wants her this is the way to go about it. I'm trying to look at Volks USA now and sporadically getting that "Thanks for partipating in our recent web event -- check facebook" error page again.

lardroom Posted March 7, 2020 I'm not a Miku fan, but I do like that case. Not enough to buy it though, I'd prefer the black one or use a larger than normal photographer's case and set aside a place for the doll. Miku's cute and all, though, and her sculpt has both a lot of personality and a lot of flexibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marishade Posted March 7, 2020 I have the Miku case and I love it. It is the standard Volks case just with prettier detailing. It is my only 1/3 size case so all my 1/3 and 1/4 dolls use it. Its so great and has held up well. I have never been concerned with a 'steal me' problem as someone mentioned. Most people do not know what it is, and otherwise I usually keep my stuff near me at all times anyway. No one has ever tried to grab at it and I have taken all kinds of dolls out with it to conventions, parks, Disney Springs, and Disney Parks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do a lot of multi-state road trips, which is where my reticence about flashy stuff comes from. A plain black bag in my car is less likely to catch someone’s eye. 1 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

littlebirdzoom Posted March 9, 2020 I can't seem to find a lot on this - but has anyone ever taken the tails down from a default Miku wig and attempted to straighten it to put it in a different style? I know other wigs exist in her color from other maker - but I'm talking about specifically the default. Waiting for eternity for Volks to release more Idolm@ster girls.

It's rooted in a way that supports having the pigtails sprout out from the side, so I am a bit doubtful this would work well. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

If you undid the twintails the wig would want to flow out instead of down. 31 minutes ago, Gabriel said: I'm kind of surprised Luka is still in stock. A lot of people didn’t like her mouth, plus the delay in shipment might have sparked rage-quits on the purchase. The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin?

Yeah, my favorite Luka is @mizya's repainted Luka. I don't think the default faceup works well with her mouth, which is what put me off from purchasing her. Plus with Covid19 spreading, I'm seeing a lot of people hesitant to order things through the mail for the time being.
