Volks News 59 (DDH 08 and DDH 09 announced)

I do like the 09's wide nose. The 08 is open mouthed? :/ Guess I'll have to see some faceups in the wild to know how I feel about that one.

 

Also, DD body tape? Guess I'll wait for reviews on residue etc. before passing judgement, but still seems just a little silly.

You rang?

<-- Kinda pictured you with this going on LMAO

 

Who do you think posed for the graphic?

Yeah for SnS shopping service !

I was hoping for a special face-up release like for 06 and 07, this is not going to happen ?

I know it's way to early for this question, but can anyone use their dolly magic to tell if 22 mm eyes would be right for the 09? I just found the perfect eyes on ebay and was wondering if they're worth snagging.

I want to throw myself out the window, lol. That is how excited I ammmm!!!!!

We need to find someone to go there, buy them, and resell then to us. I /NEED/ that 08 head.

You rang?

YES.

MAKE MY DREAMS COME TRUE.

Hmm... I might have to see if my friend who frequently goes through Akihabara on business trips will do some shopping for me.

I think it's too early to know, but

-it seems similar to 07 head, so the 22mm should fit

-there is not many heads that looks bad with 22mm

Couple scans of clothes

I am afraid that in your enthusiasm you have overlooked something important! Namely, the large text in the photo that reads: ２つのヘッドがVSDollPoint限定で販売開始.

 

Is there any info on this page if Volks will offer prepainted heads or only blank ones?

08 is a "Milhi" type.

 

But 09 reminds me of Saber Alter. More smiling but definitely her. And maybe a bit of Hatsune Miku mixed in.

Very nice skulpt.

 

I'm not saying I have to get her but...

The page lists DDH-08 and 09 as blank heads, and just in Normal Skin for now.

 

However, the new DD service at DollPoint is called D'Coord. It will offer DD Coordinate Models (pre-finished complete dolls, like the SD Coordinate Models) for sale that feature finished Head-08 and Head-09 as well as the new Akiba-limited Dream Wigs.

More scans: shows new DD, wigs, outfits, etc.

LOL, what an enthusiastic response!

 

So as not to derail this thread any further with marketplace-like talk, I'll just say to keep an eye on the Group Orders Marketplace forum. I will consider how to offer the Akiba store-limited items, and if feasible then post a set of rules there. These heads and wigs are an ongoing sale rather than a single-day event, so we can't just copy-pasta the usual SnS rules.

 

So for now, please just discuss the goodies themselves .

SakuraSylph, thank You for the reply (and probably I'll be ringing too... )

 

The print on photos is small - any info on sculptor, maybe?

09 looks like Serika Misaki work.

The similarity to Alter, Miku, Melty etc is quite visible to me.

Maybe I'm just failing at reading comprehension, but is there any date listed for when they will become available?

I was curious about this too. C: I can't read Japanese but I tried looking.

Are there any better scans yet?

Starting when the new Akihabara store (DollPoint) opens on 20 July. Head-08 and 09 will be sold at that store from then onwards.

omg I need that 08 head.

I'm actually pretty interested in how people end up using the heads. And yet again I wish that Volks would take better pictures...

Thanks so much!

Just wanted to share some higher Res scans of the new heads. Click through and hit full view to see larger. These were scanned by Dollfie world.

I find it interesting that the 08 looks like a slightly older Bree (Haruka Amami) head. The 09 is closer to a boy head, but I wish the eyes were a bit more squinty, then it would be an easy mod for the type of eyes I've wanted to do for a guy.

 

~Sister Kyoya

Ok, I so need the 09 now! And the better scans even list the eye size. Yes!

A bit off topic, but what's with the brown chair? Why is it singled out like that, is it more limited?
