DD Natsuki 2nd version

The only oddness with "my" order was that I had to email them after placed the order as I forgot to update my address. I am moving on August 15th (from MA back to NJ) and damn near freaked out. I normally shop at volks usa, so I just blanked on changing the address for Volks JP.

 

Get an email confirming new address is okay. Get shipping notice. Get email with Volks super apologizing that they sent the doll to the "wrong address" because they sent it to NJ. I email them to let them know, that NJ is correct address and no worries. Doll arrived following day. I also emailed them again to let them know the doll arrived and emailed the forum member that purchased the doll as well.

 

I found the situation a bit humorous.

I got my Natsuki! I'm so completely thrilled, and as far as I can tell, she's perfect (no defects). Her outfit is just so cool! I can't wait to start putting her in cosplay. :3 I'll get pics up soon! *dances around* I AM SO HAPPY!

Congratulations on finally being able to bring Natsuki home to you! What cosplay will you have Natsuki do first? :3 I want to see pictures soon!

I'm really glad you were able to finally adopt your Unicorn DD. If anyone deserved one it was you. Congrats on getting her safely home and in great condition! Now it's time to spam us with pics of her!

Observations about Natsuki v.2's default outfit:

 

- The inside of the blazer is lined, but the inside of the sleeves are not.

- Inside of the red halter top is lined in white, but there are red and black threads that can still touch the body

- The black halter that layers on top of the red halter is not lined. It's just cotton jersey and the halter-neck strap touches the doll directly.

- Inside of the skirt is lined in white

- BLACK panties!! Oh Volks... what are you thinking?! I don't care how cute they are... *puts back in box*

- The black arm-warmer is cotton jersey. Will probably stain...

- Red wrist cuff is lined in red. Will also probably stain...

- Garters are attached to the socks. There is a little bronze square stud on each stocking.

- - The elastic lace that the garters are made of is the same stuff I put on my dolls as chokers from time to time. It's pretty safe as far as staining, but since the black & red socks may stain I don't recommend putting them on the doll without a bodystocking.

- The black boots are completely unlined. Even the soles on the inside are black.

- There is enough room to zip up the boots with a bodystocking and the black & red default socks. Just zip slowly so that the socks don't get caught in the zipper!

- The inside of the neck choker is lined in white. However, where Moe v.2's choker attached with a snap, Natsuki v.2's attaches with a metal hook and eye. I wonder what prompted this change. I guess the choker looks more "seamless" now. The snap left quite a big bulge at the back of the neck, but was easier to put on and remove. The hook & eye is more finicky but at least they put the metal eye and not a wretched dinky piece of thread >__<" (Volks does this often with many of their outfits for a smoother fit. It looks nice, but it's annoying!)

 

Just as a test - and because I have a fairly badly stained DD2 body that I need to eventually treat - I'm going to put this outfit on for a few days and see how bad the staining is!

It looks like less stain potential than the Natsuki v1 outfit (the shorts especially stain REALLY fast), but still... Volks has improved in the past several years. They do line their DD outfits with white *most of the time*. But they don't really think about undergarments (socks/stockings/panties) and they don't think about dark colored threads and seams. I hope they improve those eventually too.

It occurred to me the reason they included blank panties is so that if anyone is inclined to dress their Natsuki in the red striped top with black lace trim, the garter socks and the pantsu it would look like a complete outfit.

 

But still >__<"

 

I've had the outfit on my "old vinyl" DD2 body for 2 days now and there's no staining from the jacket, or the 2 tops. The red wrist cuff also hasn't left any marks.

 

I didn't put the black arm sleeve or the default panties on her though.

 

Didn't have time to examine her feet, so that will have to wait a couple of days

thanks for the info.

I'll soon get my Natsuki and do not want that she become stained

Thank you so very much archangeli for the informative post on Natsuki's new outfit. That will come in handy for me if I ever get lucky enough to purchase this outfit.

Just checked again - no stains anywhere!

Not on the feet, wrist (from the red cuff) or around the back of the neck, on the breasts or the arms (from the jacket).

 

I've had the outfit on for almost a whole week now. I'm quite surprised!

The only things I haven't tested are the black arm-sleeve and the blank panties.

 

One minor design blip that I've noticed is that the black elastic lace that the garters are made of likes to slide down the leg, so I have to re-adjust it at least once or twice a day - but if that's the only thing I can find to complain about, Volks has done well

it's a very good news! thank you.

ps: My Natsuki only today passed the customs ((
