It's probably just one doll this year. AFAIK the pre-orders each year are always from the same franchise, so if there was a second SE doll I would expect it to have been announced at the same SE event as Y'shtola and to go on sale on the same day.

You can see a new regular head, 27, recommended for MDD and also that there will be an online lottery for dcoord (along with SD one-offs and other special SD models) in November on the website

DDH27 also seems to be a flat mouth version of DCH17 according to the fine print. I’m glad we’re getting more standard heads so soon after DDH22, but I do kinda wish we could get another more mature standard head as well…? The last one was DDH09 and that was ages ago! They’re cute heads, but 3 MDD heads in a row… (10, 22, 27). Although I suppose it’s to be expected when MDD custom heads are still the biggest money makers, so it is cool to see more and more easily available options than just sanded DDH01s (as much as I like those).

You can see the GL/VS/VIP item is the return of the ice skates too.

Looking forward to the online one-offs and DCoords!

Oooh nooo. . .that Designer's Collection spread has some good stuff. That's usually the clothing label that sinks me in these things and it seems this time is no exception.

I need higher res scans/pics of the 27 to decide if I like it or not. I'm also curious if it's gonna be in Dream Choice? Like it's be cute in tan.

Interesting the skates are coming back. Guess they want to get a head start before the 2022 winter olympics??

22 still isn’t in Dream Choice so maybe not, at least for a while.... but it’s also not entirely necessary given that DCH17 is already in Dream choice, and this is just 17 with a flat mouth. (Unless people specifically wanted the flat one in tan with a default faceup...)

New Dream Choice

- Asexual MDD

- Elf ears for all heads

 

 

Elf ears yay 

The kimonos are really nice (I think I'll try to get the blue one). And the red sweater collection is just peak autumn aestethic.

Hooray, nothing I want this time around. I can save some money now. XD

Oh god, there is so much in this volume that suits my taste. Definitely going to have to pick and choose what I want the most.

With that body, I wonder if we'll be getting any MDD boys in the future...

I like the look of the unitorso MDD! I don't need one but it's exciting to see.

Might need one of the red sweater sets for Meiko and like all of the evil clown outfits for my resins, oof, they got me good.

I like the asexual MDD torso, but not that it is a one piece. Some of the clothing are enticing, we shall see. . .

I'm simultaneously drawn to the dark circus outfits, and repelled by the obvious stain hell they represent, especially the red and black checkered socks.

Luckily no clothing items that I want. So I am mostly safe.
The elf ears are really cute, and I'd love some. But they seem to be Dream Choice only so they are out of reach for now.

But my wallet is still not safe because Y'shtola will be coming home with me.

When does this collection come out? I want the sweater dresses so bad. XD

I usually buy volks clothes for cheap second hand but I think I'm gonna need to buy these directly, cuz they're so cute.

A one piece torso f3 finally?  O.O

I hope this means that DD & DDS are coming.

It’s the 9th and !! I didn’t even consider that! If it does I hope it’s not locked too Full Choice… I’ve been wanting a one piece tan torso since 2017 when I first got my tan doll. Even if it’s something I can only buy from Doll Point, so long as it’s something I can buy as a part as opposed to a full doll I don’t mind. I’m sure it wouldn’t be impossible to cram a DDIII frame into it…?

I didn’t really care for the one piece for a MDD at first because I like my torso joints on those (and the default body is so androgynous under clothing anyway) but the more I look at it the more it’s growing on me. Them advertising it with what is clearly a boy MDD is promising but I can not think of any characters that would be plausible for collabs.

I like the look of the MDD single torso. Very elegant looking. And the elf ears look really good, the droopy choice are quite nice. If that is all the clothing offerings, I believe I am safe (thankfully.)

The issue with f3 and the one piece is the narrowness of the waist and the bulk of the f3 upper torso. Getting a DDIII torso frame into it shouldn’t pose a problem. 

Either Volks redesigned the shoulders or they expanded the waist on that new MDD. IMO there was never any reason for the one piece to be as narrow in the waist as the standard torso. They could just as readily use the SD waist dimensions for the one piece.  

There are a few sets of clothes that I really like! I hope they don't get sold out too quickly...

Yeah, I'm eating my words--forget the dark circus, it's the eath tone kimonos/hakama and the knitwear collection. Also really digging the cape they're showing with the MDD miko outfit. There are a lot of miko outfits out there but that cape is COOL.

Edit: Anyone able to parse yet what items are being released when? Gotta know when to set calendar reminders, lol!
