PrettyCranium Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) Wolfheinrich is reporting a Shining Blade DD release, with a DD of Maxima. I'm unfamiliar with Shining Blade myself -- show? Game? Same "universe" as Airy and Neris? From Wolf's Flickr: Dollfie Dream Maxima by Wolfheinrich, on Flickr And the link to his post: http://www.flickr.com/groups/dollfiedream/discuss/72157629585221517/ and his blog: http://www.wolfheinrich.com/2012/03/14/dollfie-dream-x-shining-blade/ Edited March 14, 2012 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
baldylox Posted March 14, 2012 Shining Blade is part of the "Shining" Universe of visual novels and games. Tony Taka does most of the artwork for those so you know the girls are all either super kawaii or hot as heck. So this is a similar thing to Airy and Neris since they were from another Shining series... was it Wind or Hearts? I can't recall. Either way, if this is true about the girl pictured, she'll need to be an L-bust DD to live up to that artwork. Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop.

archangeli Posted March 14, 2012 She's a hottie ^^ And I already have a nice pair of eyes I can swap out for her, since Volks will probably use the creepy pupil-less eyes that they used on Airy & Neris.

Cauldroness Posted March 14, 2012 I can't wait to see the mold for this one! I've been dying for another serious-faced girl like Saber or Rin, and she looks like she could be one. Doll Photos & Doll Jewelry Sales: Follow me on Instagram! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PrettyCranium Posted March 14, 2012 She's a hottie ^^ And I already have a nice pair of eyes I can swap out for her, since Volks will probably use the creepy pupil-less eyes that they used on Airy & Neris. I'm hoping that they learned from that, or it wouldn't look as creepy with dark eyes. In any case, I'm worried, since I really like her artwork despite not knowing anything about her.

Poofiemus Posted March 14, 2012 (edited) How odd--that's now two licenses Volks has announced having before announcing release details. (The other being the Sakura Taisen license.) I have to wonder if something has changed in Volks' legal department, or if they're finally catching on that with expensive merchandise people like extra time to beef up their wallets. I also wonder if she and the Sakura Taisen girl(s) will be web order or Dolpa, now that Volks looks to be breaking pattern. She does have a really cool character design; however I don't know beans about any of the Shining series, so I don't know if I'm at all interested in her until I get to see the head sculpt. That is going to be one epic outfit though. EDIT: Arg, the URL in the ad isn't working (yet). Looks like the announcement may have been leaked sooner than intended!

Nightmare Tea Posted March 14, 2012 Since I want a more mature-looking girl as well, Even if I don't know the series and/or character, I hope that she will be to my liking. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kymaera Posted March 14, 2012 It's an interesting looking design. I'll be curious to see how she turns out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bethykins Posted March 14, 2012 Oooh!! Exciting how long do we think it will be until we get more pictures? I have a gorgeous family of DD girls See my profile for a list of my beauties!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PlasticFantastic Posted March 14, 2012 Maxima also makes an appearance in Shining Hearts from what I understand. There's a few other female characters from this series, maybe they'll release two like they did with Neris and Airy? I'd love to see a DD with elf ears~ Please visit my YouTube channel for helpful DD tips, tutorials, and reviews! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dolly Posted March 15, 2012 Wow, it is nice to see this! I wonder when she will be released, or when we'll get more info? Heck, we've known about the Sakura Taisen DD for awhile now and still no more news, Volks is such a tease. I'm really looking forward to seeing her sculpt! I'd love another mature, non-cutesy looking girl like Saber. It is always hard to tell what expression DD's will have based on their art though, and some of the art I've seen of this girl has her with a sweet smile.

youth Posted March 15, 2012 I'll be following this as a fan of Tony Taka's designs. It'll be interesting to see the Dollfie Dream take on it & how they'll handle her pretty unique dress & very long hair. Just hope the release isn't till at least fall so I can recover from the $$$ spent on Saber Alter. Here's a side bust shot of the lovely PVC version of her. Larger then medium, but smaller then large? http://www.animerunner.net/misc/figure_maxima2.jpg http://www.animerunner.net/misc/figure_maxima1.jpg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoltFiend Posted March 15, 2012 My wallet groaned when I saw the picture, but I'll have to wait to see what the final design looks like. If they're going with that outfit, I'm going to see if I can get in a split for it, unless they decide to release that one separately. I'm a fan of Tony's designs from the Shining series. I'm a bit sad that none of the more recent games have made it over to the states. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poofiemus Posted March 15, 2012 You know, the more I look at drawings of her, the more I have to wonder how they're going to handle that bodice. I'm guessing it'll probably be boned or wired like crazy, because otherwise I have no clue how that sucker's going to stay up. Yay for character designers defying physics!

nkei Posted March 15, 2012 Aw man I bet she's going to be a beauty!! My wallet cries. I kinda wish they would make a DD of yukihime because of that sexy ninja-ish outfit OR Altina because elf ears and that blue outfit would be so so awesome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
