Volks Dolpa 29 - Tokyo Big Sight, Sunday April 28th, 2013

Recommended Posts

Minuette

Dollpa... is clearly more dangerous than I was expecting. Just keep my focus on Asuna, and everything will be okay. Don't look anywhere else~! (She says to herself knowing full well she'll enter for both DD girls and will have to choose who she wants if she wins both.)

I'm rather 'underwhelmed' by her outfit. I'm just not feeling the super dark/black colors and fur look.

Alice's outfit is midnight blue, has black fur trim on the cowl, and the hat is black. It looks like she comes with some black glove hands as well, in the doll version. I came across a cellphone strap of her in Animate today, which gave me a look at the original character design without the influence of a computer monitor. The outfit reminds me of a darker version of Illyasviel's coat set.

 

I do particularly look forward to seeing her mouth shape in person. We need a sculpt with a small-width mouth that isn't in an o-shape like Mio's, and Alice looks promising in this regard. There will be a model on display of both Asuna and Alice at the dolls party, so the first non-Volks-made pictures will probably come out shortly thereafter (even before the userpics from people getting her that day).

Looking at the actual Volks News issue, it's possible to see slightly better. Her mouth looks like a small-width straight shape, with the lips slightly parted. The opening makes a barely-perceptible trapezoid, rather than a Mi-O shape.

Doesn't look like it to me. To see Alice's mouth shape, look at yourself in the mirror with a straight --- face. Then open your lower jaw ever so slightly so that your lips part. You end up with a trapezoid shape /--\ . That is the expression Alice appears to be making.

I don't think she will look smiley at all. If you look at official artwork for her and read about her character, you can see that she's not a smiling happy person.

To go along with Dressy Alice that Volks is bringing, the dealer CherryMilk / GingerTea is planning to bring the iM@S2 My Dear Vampire outfit ("kyuuun!"). Watch YJA if you're interested since one or two usually pop up there immediately after the event. Photos and pricing will be up a few days before Dolpa I'm guessing.

 

A few other things of note from Ginger Tea: Hatsune Miku (typical outfit), Hatsune Miku (Senbonzakura ver), and Fate/Extra CCC Saber Bride will be amongst the 10 licensed outfits they're planning to bring.

Jebus! Seems like going thru Volks Intl is 100$ cheaper after all is said and done. Less chances than the two USA options, but still 100$ difference.

That's a bit rediculous on VolksUSA's part. The yen to dollar exchange rate is much more favourable than that, we know it to be true.

According to Google's conversion, the exchange rate makes her $700 even.

be careful going by google's conversion - as what the current rate is may or may not be what paypal or your credit card company's rate is at the time of purchase. The rate from paypal when I paid for Lucy was not the same as the current rate - I only guess because companies only update their yen=dollar rate maybe once a week or two just because it fluctuates so much. In the end it was a little bit over 100$ in savings even *with* EMS shipping from Japan. I can't imaging the shipping from VolksUSA. I'd assume it'd be 15-30 consideirng every other time I've ordered little things from them.. o__o

I could get a KOSMOS for Asuna's price since I have 9% tax here in CA. It's pretty crazy!

The $908 Volks USA price is very expensive. Should've expected that I suppose.

At that price I can't afford to enter the US lottery, though.

 

It's International or bust, I guess. This supremely sucks.
