MORE DOLL THINGS ARE UP

Lucky for me, I'm not super tempted by any of these girls. Also I think some of the outfits they have here are still in the regular store?

The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be.

The limited doll selection is super underwhelming, I was really hoping for miku or mash. Looks like I have to keep hunting...

To the best of anyone's knowledge, these are dolls stored away from prior events, so the selection is based on what they have on hand and not what they wish they could offer. That said, I am a bit surprised that they don't have Kizuna Ai or 2B up there. 

One thing to note is that sometimes they will add new dolls to the lineup after the event starts, so I would suggest checking back periodically once the event is going to see if anything new pops up.

I think the Ranko / Arle lottery will please a number of people.

Welp, as far as clothing goes, I'm very safe. I see nothing I want. DD Matoi is absolutely killing me, though. She is my vinyl grail doll. Figures that she pops up when I am not in a position to spend. 😭

Omg Arle ; ; If I don't try for her now will there never be another chance? My wallet can't keep up with my heart with these dolls 😧

She isn't likely to see another re-release anytime in the near future. I would never say never, Saber gets a re-release every other year it seems like, but the odds aren't good there will be another Arle release.

...Okay, dumb question, but where is this Ranko/Arle lottery? I only see Yuriko/Matoi/Saber/Asuna/Akira in the event dolls, are they somewhere else?

Worth noting here, both the lottery items and clickwar items go on sale @midnight tonight.

Bit the bullet and put in my entry for Arle...I was just worried too that this may be my last shot at getting her. 😭 FOMO got to me with her lol. It's also my first lottery, so I'm quite nervous! I only plan on keeping her head if anyone in the US wants to hit me up for buying her outfit(without the wig) or her MDD body.

I also threw my hat into the ring for Arle. I've been eyeing listings of her on Mandarake for a while, but it would be preferable if I could get her for the normal price instead of the inflated 2nd-hand price.

On a vaguely-related note, I like a lot of moody/judgy resin sculpts, but apparently my taste for vinyl tends more super cheery (Miku, Kizuna, Arle, etc.) haha

There are some cute outfits, but I'm saving up for the October collection.

I've been working on a custom of my favorite IdolMas:CG girl, and gave in when I saw My First Star outfit was available again. I've been eyeing it since the Summer event sale in July 😭

Interestingly, the Cool and Passion outfits are available on Volks' JP store, but Cute is nowhere to be seen?

Good luck to you too!! I feel a similar way, I think in the end, I really like Arle but I just don't $1000+ like her lol. My vinyl crew is also very cheery and it's becoming more and more apparent lately. I guess I just think the smiley sculpts are cuter!

They always have the elf asuna and never the regular. I'm always a bit disappointed when this happens. One of the few character doll I'd actually want.

looking for - , Marisa Short Wig, full set Beatrice or default face + eyes & Sasara Fullset or default face + eyes.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe Volks USA got original Asuna when she was released. I believe she was only available through the international lottery. That might be why they don't have any left overs hanging around of her.

I did a thing, I entered in for Ranko.  I know nothing about the series or the character, but I just love her outfit and look.  And since she's a SWS DDS that looks good in goth lolita I entered.  Now I need to find more outfits in that style as I've been wanting a girl like that for a while.

I hope you win. 

Just an fyi, do not put her outfit’s socks on her. They stain almost instantly. Look for alternate socks that are known not to stain or put white socks under them. I haven’t had issues with any other part of the outfit, but I’m careful not to let her touch the outer black parts. 

As far as her character, this will explain better than I can: https://www.project-imas.com/wiki/Ranko_Kanzaki

When I saw Cinderella Girls she became one my favorites. She’s a very cute character.

Okay, question. I'm new to Volks lotteries, but as stated above I tried my luck at Arle. Since then, I haven't received any email aside from the lottery entry confirmation email. Moreover, when I look in my order history (or search for the order id) on the website I don't see the lottery entry. It's also a little confusing because the previous link for all of the lottery items now shows no items.

HOWEVER, I searched for Arle on the site and I'm able to add the listing to my cart..... does this mean I won, or since it says "for winners only" is this an honor system/secret page that I came across??

The winner notification email typically gets sent out on the Friday after the lottery entry weekend, so it's normal that you haven't heard back yet. You being able to see Arle and add her to your cart almost certainly means your account is flagged as a winner for her 😃

If you go to your account's profile page, a User Groups tag showing your lottery win status usually shows up a few days before the winner announcement if you want to check there.
