TheWhiteRabbit Posted April 7, 2013 I didn't see it posted, sorry if it was...

archangeli Posted April 7, 2013 Her outfit, wig and sword look quite nicely done but I can't say the same about her head. I know people say that she looks a lot like Neris/ Haruka + 06 but I think Neris and the 06 individually are both much more attractive than Asuna's head.

Jezrah Posted April 7, 2013 Are you sure it's not her eyes? I think her eyes are a bit weird. They're close to her illustration but on the doll there's something odd. Otherwise, I think she's quite pretty, but I've just doubled me family lately so I want to get them all sorted before looking at any new others. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinegamix Posted April 8, 2013 i totally agree. plus a 06 head will cost a lot less Her outfit, wig and sword look quite nicely done but I can't say the same about her head.

Hypercurve Posted April 8, 2013 I also agree. 06 is definitely a lot cuter than Asuna ... Asuna is still a somewhat cute mold, but her eyes seem a bit googly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SakuraSylph Posted April 8, 2013 Asuna looks a little odd in regular clothes, at least based on the pictures we have so far. That lends further credence to the opinion of "take away the outfit and there's not as much left" that people have expressed. Maybe it's the heavy blushing? In case folks hadn't noticed, the doll modeling Strawberry Milk Cookie is Asuna. SakuraSylph Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJStarstryker Posted April 8, 2013 I think that head would probably look better with a different face-up. Volks has just been going through this heavy blushing phase lately with a lot of their dolls and it makes some look not so great.

salica Posted April 8, 2013 I was going to participate to the lottery as I loved Asuna's character . But since I saw the last picture , I gave up on the idea . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
writtenlullabye Posted April 8, 2013 Yes that's right everyone, more Asuna for me! :p I still really like her. Check out my doll videos on Youtube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minuette Posted April 8, 2013 Yes that's right everyone, more Asuna for me! :p I still really like her. *highfives* We all know Volks can't photograph their girls, I'm hoping she's one of those "oh my god" so gorgeous in person kind of girls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacaronTea Posted April 8, 2013 The closeups really are not giving me the warm fuzzies I was hoping for. Then again I was like this with Aoko and now totally kicking myself for not going for her. I hope they announce she will be available in the After Event, I'd rather see her in person so I can make up my mind.

jadepixel Posted April 9, 2013 Yeah, I think Asuna might be cuter with different eyes. These feel misplaced, like they're too low, or too narrow at the top. jadepixel doll lab jadepixel eye shop Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mitsuki Posted April 9, 2013 Because we all are using the DDs not in the Volks' intended way I still have the impression, that VS treats DDs as just bigger display figures. You should dress them, put on display and that's all. Some details just imply that way of thinking - the barely adequate skeleton joints or the weak dress parts. Not to mention the staining - it's no issue when You never remove the dress. Look at Obitsus - they're meant for tweaking in every possible way and - from the very beginning - You could buy all the replacement parts, if something were to break. I agree with Kumi. I think Volks does see them as giant figures for putting up on display. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinegamix Posted April 9, 2013 somebody should let them know that these little ones have a active life of their own making my triumphant return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smallpotato Posted April 10, 2013 Did anyone contact Volks USA for their crazy prices? This is just unacceptable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shinegamix Posted April 10, 2013 not sure. that means you can be the first. gut luck making my triumphant return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
archeotech Posted April 10, 2013 Did anyone contact Volks USA for their crazy prices? This is just unacceptable Aren't they the same prices as on the international site? O.o EDIT: Ok saw Asuna Price there O_O.... Maybe they're using an old exchange rate? I'm a big fan of Asuna's character so hopefully will be getting her =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
writtenlullabye Posted April 10, 2013 I just emailed Volks asking them why Asuna is about $200 more in the USA. I'll let you all know what their response is. Check out my doll videos on Youtube Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chinti Posted April 10, 2013 alice seems to be 100usd more compare to japan volks as well Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Minuette Posted April 11, 2013 I just emailed Volks asking them why Asuna is about $200 more in the USA. I'll let you all know what their response is. I hope we see a really good reason. :C I really want her, and if entering both lotteries means having to pay more for just winning in the states... That's really messed up.

shinegamix Posted April 11, 2013 well i dont really see the problem. for years the prices in us were cheaper then the volks international. i didnt hear you complain about price difference back then. why make such a big deal out of it now making my triumphant return Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
