I'm really hoping for some new characters or models in future releases. 90% of us feel the same way believe me 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiwi717 Posted March 16 As a minor collector of Miku and a major collector of Dollfies, I enjoy the Miku releases, I just wish the reboots would be a little different. NT thrilled me because of the different design of the outfit and faceup. I'd like to see more of that if Volks is going to continue rereleasing the vocaloids. Give us some different styles! That being said, I'd love to see some more different Dollfies all together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It would be neat to see differences between the rereleases, but I do think it would be pretty controversial. I know I’d be mad if I fell in love with a doll, heard she was getting a rerelease, and then saw that they changed up what I liked about them in the first place. It would be neat for the people that already had them, but potentially devastating for those that don’t lol. Speaking a bit on the Miku-fatigue tho, I am curious how much more Volks can release/rerelease her. They’ve already done all her main versions (+ NT) and rereleased them all too (not yet for Sakura, but point stands). It seems like Luka really is the last vocaloid that should get any rerelease soon. I know that I am biased as a Miku lover, but I know this whole thing has to be very annoying for non-Miku fan dollfie collectors. My hope is that maybe they will start on other popular virtual singers next. I mean, Teto Kasane seems to be incredibly popular right now. I think she has a lot of potential as a DD, honestly. But, what I think is most likely is that Miku will just be released again and again forever. That all said, I’m looking forward to preordering a Sakura Miku soon lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We kind of are going into unknown territory here, huh? (well. When is that not the case for Volks). It seems they've done 2 runs of each older miku to give decent opportunity for people who want Miku to get her. She's absolutely a character they receive questions about all the time. But maybe after 2 they'll stop/switch it up? Has volks ever done 3 re-releases of the same model before in recent memory? (I'm only speaking software based virtual singers here , I know some people use virtual singers for Vtubers)? When it comes to other characters, it's a bit tricky because there are not many vocal synths companies who have the resources or merch output level as Crypton and their 6 characters. And, also, that some of the companies decide to go elsewhere? I would have thought Yukari to get a Dollfie if she received a doll. But instead her company went with Dolk for a realistic and anime release. Teto is way more likely though, while Crypton don't own her, the company behind teto (twindrill) have a connection , so would probably go to them for help regarding a Dollfie release.

I think Miku is the only one who has been frequently rereleased recently. Though they have done quite a few iterations and releases for Saber from the fate series, and its seems the idolmaster series is one they release dolls for frequently as well. I feel like they release Miku so often because she is super popular and most likely has the highest sales. Cryptons licensing may be more laxed as well, seeing as they let Volks frequently rerelease and make more Cryptonloid dolls so often.

ragnamuffin Posted March 17 I won’t mind if they keep re-releasing Vocaloids forever as long as they stop taking spots from new releases. I’ve said this a million times, but I really want them to re-release the 7th Dragon Miku outfits they did a few years ago! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miabird24 Posted April 3 So im assuming that if US customers order from volks japan now the tariffs will screw us over? Im hoping sakura isn't significantly cheaper on the japanese site compared to the US because most things have been. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm probably not going to pre-order her now due to this, and I suspect many collectors in the USA won't either (if these even go through, who even knows by this point). I might be wrong on this, but wouldn't the Volks US site make her price even higher after these tariffs? Since they will most likely be taking into account that new expense? What a mess. I am very glad I have already gathered most of my dream dolls right now. Needed to slow down on buying stuff anyways.

Miabird24 Posted April 3 Im going to try my best to order her due to how crazy her aftermarket will be, but i'm not feeling very confident I can afford her now. Rip Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think she'd be very cute as a DDS! I'd love to see a Teto DD(S), Pokemiku/Project Voltage also did an April 1st special for her. The most popular non-crypton Vocaloid/Synth is probably still Gumi? Luo Tianyi also got a decent amount of figures in the last few year, but she's a Chinese Vocaloid. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ragnamuffin Posted Sunday at 03:55 PM So Dolpa was today (technically yesterday, since it’s after midnight now), and Volks came prepared this time! I think everyone who wanted a Sakura Miku got one, and I hope this bodes well for everyone trying for the After Party. Say hello to the newest addition to my doll family: 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am very glad I have already gathered most of my dream dolls right now. Needed to slow down on buying stuff anyways. I decided to buy Sakura Miku off Yahoo auctions to avoid any uncertainty around tariffs. She is on her way over now (just in time!). It wasn't just the price I was concerned about but also the lack of consistency and process. There are a lot of online stores that have suspended orders from the US for that reason Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
