Oh wow. I don't even know the characters but as far as I'm concerned, choosing between Yukiho and Chihaya will be super hard (no way I can order two dolls sadly, even one might not be that easy ). The outfits are definitely not my style though. As I won't be in the US in time for them (arriving late September in California), I think I will make a very big discount for the outfit to the person who can host the split and keep the doll for me a few weeks in the US, if that sounds good to someone .

I'm waiting for more pictures to be sure before opening an official split .

If it helps you decide between the two, this is the kind of character each one is:

 

Yukiho: Shy, easily scared, cries a lot. Digs holes and hides in them as a way to over-emphasize this type. Decent at being an idol if given enough encouragement to get over her various fears.

 

Chihaya: Smart, introverted, very talented. She lives only to sing and nothing else, and is the best vocalist in the idol agency. But she has trouble being enthusiastic for anything an idol does (modeling, commercials) that isn't singing.

I only sense a little bias in these descriptions.

How sure are we that it's a rerelease and not just extra outfit etc (for Sakuya)? QvQ;;; Volks hates me.

Thanks a lot for taking the time of doing this ! This is very kind of you (like always ).

I was more concerned by the doll molds but these descriptions sure drive me toward Chihaya (and I guess her face will be more expressive too ).

Haha, well, I may be biased on who I like better, but it's all true! I completely never got the appeal of Yukiho as a game character when I played through her story mode, so I can't articulate what her good points are. I can only describe how she acts every week. She is not the youngest at the agency, but she's definitely the most crybaby ^_^;;. Fortunately her doll is much cooler than her character was to me. Maybe somebody who liked Yukiho more could describe her in a more flattering way?

 

Being the stoic, introverted, good-at-stuff type myself, I had a much easier time identifying with Chihaya. Her perfectionism in the game makes her known as one of the hardest characters to manage - she gets sad when you get anything less than the top rank even at practice - so she has bad points too. They just make sense to me because I have the same ones! Contrary to the usual gamer, I actually do really well with this character...

 

I look forward to seeing more about how they captured Chihaya's face in DD form. Her blue wig already looks great, and Yukiho's hairstyle is also spot-on for her. Nice job on the wigs this time.

I can't be sure without closeups, but so far it looks like I'm pretty safe from these girls. Granted, lately I've been liking head molds but not digging the default faceups (Asuna, Nanami), but so far at least I'm not feeling the tug. Hopefully the potential outfit damage won't be too bad so I can focus on picking one of my other next-doll plans instead.

Maybe I'm weird, but for a moment I pictured her digging literal holes and lurking in them like a burrowing owl or a prairie dog.


In this household, sanity is considered a tresspasser.

Not weird, accurate..! This is exactly what she does, at least in the anime. She'll cry about something and run away, then there's a cut to her with digging shovel in hand, instantly having materialized a 4-foot pitfall hole to hide in.

 

She often talked about wanting to dig a hole and bury herself in it when she got depressed in the game (which was all the time). But when they made the anime, they changed it into a literal action and made it a running gag.

eeeeeeeee Chihaya! Finally! I just need to know when these gals would be predicted to be released... I'd hate to go after Mariko in July/August then find out Chihaya is coming out say, September. o_o that would not make the husb happy at all! XD

 

Hope they release more upclose shots of them. I wonder if Volks is in the position where they bought/workedout a long term license on some of these characters and that's why they're doing re-releases with Lucy, Sakuya, then whoever they decide to re-release again. Mariko is Volks own creation, so they can rerelease her all they want til the cows come home I guess.. XD

They come out August 4th at Dolpa Nagoya, and then in wider release at the associated After Event in late August/early Sept (date unknown until Volks News 54 arrives).

I like these new girls!

Even though Yukiho is the 'type' I usually go for, I think Chihaya will be really cute. She definitely looks like the anime character design, her mouth reminds me of Miki but with narrower eyes like Rin.

 

I wonder if these releases will have the one piece torso again? It would make the most sense for Sakuya actually, but I can't tell that she has it.

 

And I don't mind re-releases at all. It gives more people a chance to enjoy the dolls they love, and gives less money to scalpers. Although I was surprised at the quick Lucy re-release, she wasn't super popular to begin with. That sort of decision feels more like 'filler' in the schedule.

Amen... I might have a realistic chance of getting Sakuya without paying through the nose for her.. XD

If I decide to go for anything I think I'll stick with just Sakuya. Most likely I'll just back out from getting any of them though. I don't really care about the others all that much either. More pictures could change that (mostly of Chihaya), but right now, nah, I'm good. Volks just hasn't really been impressing me lately mold-wise.

Maybe its the overall package - but now looking at each one of them more.. Yukiho is more appealing overall for me. I think I might like her mold a little better than chihaya o__o

 

Chihaya's wig imo should be more on the blue-violet side (which is easily replaceable), but her face sculpt just seems like Miki's with diff eyes. but upclose can change all my preconceptions... so I really hope they post closer pics soon.

Ohh... I want Sakuya T_T Just the doll, not the outfit, etc.

 

I actually think it's nice/good that Volks is re-releasing dolls. It seems like a shame to have these lovely sculpts and lock them away forever after their respective event releases. And more importantly, people who missed out have a chance to get them!

OMG Sakuya re-release in her crimson outfit!! I'm literally crying right now from joy seeing this news.

 

I was dumb and passed her up the first time and seeing her aftermarket prices made me sick to my stomach because I knew I would never be able to afford her.

 

Now thankfully Volks is giving me a second chance to own this gorgeous girl at retail. I am going to sell most of my figures just so I can afford to enter to own her. So after 2 years I will finally be entering another lottery to hopefully own my queen Sakuya.

 

I could never split her up either to make her cheaper. A queen such as Sakuya needs to arrive me as a fullset.

Oh, I'm just teasing because we all know who your favorite is, SS.

 

For those that are going "OMG, Sakuyaaaaa!", I happen to be one of those people that only want everything but the head since I already own the very lovely Sakuya. I'd love to split with someone. I want a good price though! Since it looks like there will be a lot of Crimson outfits floating around later. ..

 

As for the other two girls, I'm interested in the heads. One possibly being a better Asuna and the other to be a similar Miki mold. Dat blue hair!
