I have let myself gone a tad lazy for the past couple of days, I have been wanting to write an article about PVC figure aging based on suggestions from blogging comrade blowfish, but alas, I am still procrastinating over it because I have been mostly occupied by the news of Dolpa 22 and the new White Album Dollfie Dream releases~
A bunch of us in the flickr group have started to speculate over what Dollfie Dream might be coming out in the winter doll party, the first clue we had came about a little over a week ago when we found out about the White Album webpage that didn’t have any images on it at the time, however, as more information became available, the White Album Dollfie Dream were not due to come out in this upcoming Dolpa but instead a web order exclusive project similar to that of the Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann DD Project.
Initially, I was very hesitant about the story of White Album after reading some online review about it, but my mind began to sway when I was presented with the project image…. these are some really good Dollfie Dream candidates… and at the very minimum, these idol style clothing would fit my Dollfie Dream daughters very well! After a few more conversation with a few figure.fm members, I decided I have to at learn about Rina and Yuki despite the fact that I may not be very interested in the plot of the story (based on my understanding thus far, the main protagonist is a real prick…. all of the guys were real prick…, why… I want to read about some decent/hotblood guy doing his best, not a real prick getting involved in multiple women!). Anyway, I have already decided to at least see what kind of girls 森川 由綺 Morikawa Yuki and 緒方 理奈 Ogata Rina are, then so be it.
The next piece of news is none other than what I have been anticipating for some time, Doll Party 22, or Dolpa 22 for short, slated to be held in Tokyo Big Sight on December 6th. The two new Dollfie Dream coming out in Dolpa 22 are Shiranui Mai 不知火舞 from the fighting game Fatal Fury 2 and King of Fighter.
Mai’s spec is as follows: (Thanks to Toel, who provided the information for the head maker for us)
- Head Maker : Rimuka (DD Rin, MDD Iria)
- Technical details : 22mm eyes, original head, DDdy normal skin
- Price : 52,000 JPY
Mai does carry a trace of Rin Tohsaka in her head mold design as suggested by a few flickr group members, I am not really taken in by her just yet as I don’t find her promotional picture very attractive, though it must be reminded yet again that Volks is not exactly good at taking good pictures of their own Dollfie Dream!
Next in the line up is Mashiro Mito 泉戸 ましろ from a visual novel called Tayutama: Kiss on my Deity, which I have no knowledge of what-so-ever… (what?! aren’t you suppose to be this all knowing eroge gamer?!!!) Gomen gomen, I am not a fan of nekomimi, so I skip games like this…. anyway, while I might not be highly interested in DD Mito myself… there is something from Mito I am very interested in…
Mito’s spec is as follows: (Thanks to Toel, who provided the information for the head maker for us)
- Head Maker : Misaki Seirika (DD Sayaka/Kotori, Nemu, Saber…)
- Technical details : 22mm eyes, original head mold, L Bust.
- Price : 54,000 JPY
The Deity dress set which freature a silver colored wig! I have been looking to get a replacement wig for Feena for the longest time since her original wig just fails so miserably that I have refrain from taking close up photo for her (Volks planted a lot of frizzy hair onto Feena’s wig to make it look thicker and to allow it to hold onto her crown, but it just fail… just fail). This might just be the chance that I can give Feena a brand new look!
Looks like I won’t be adopting new daughters in the upcoming Dolpa 22, but I will be spending money primarily on dresses and accessories. What surprised me the most is the re-release of Dollfie Dream Saber’s casual dress set
And to ride on the coattail of the Evangelion 2.0 movie: You can(not) advance, Volks is releasing the new Evangelion School uniform set!
Which is very exciting since I have been thinking about picking up the school uniform for Asuka but I just couldn’t bring myself to pay for the inflated price tag in Yahoo Japan Auction. Come on Volks, re-release more dress sets!
And a few other things…
Moe and Natsuki modeling for new Autumn wear? Perhaps a bit late by the time Dolpa 22 arrives 
Moe is looking a bit more delicious in the new wig…. ummm, a mistake to not take Moe home? Could it be?
Ummm what should I call these? Bunny suits? Not quite, might just want to pick these up in case I am in the mood for some yuri photograph sessions?
And swords!
Might try for a few of these as well~
Anyway, since I won’t be adopting new daughter in the upcoming Dolpa 22, I would be follow my original plan to build a Windows Home Server in the holiday season!

not really excited about the new DD. but the re-release of Saber’s casual outfit is very cool. also loving Moe in the new wig, she is looking extremely good there :3 too bad i cant afford any right now XD
Moe in the new wig is looking good indeed, looks innocent and pure!
Oh my. My interest in acquiring a Dollfie has cooled a bit lately since it seems like every other post on figure.fm is a Dollfie post and they’re all starting to look the same, but I cannot deny that I love Mai. A good choice of subject by Volks I deem.
I haven’t yet preordered either of the two White Album figures that GSC is putting out for the reason you mention; I’ve heard the male lead is a dork and I’ve got the feeling that I wouldn’t like either of the female characters. On the other hand, I do like how Rina looks. Maybe I should buy her and just make up a backstory for her in my own mind.
Tier´s last blog ..Kotonoha Katsura from School Days
Yeah, I have noticed that, a lot of DD post in figure.fm lately. I try to avoid taking very generic photo that will make my girls look blend.
I am getting a bit worked up to find out how this Rina girl fare, I have heard she is more than what meets the eyes, girls like that are intriguing! I am trying to get my hands on White Album 1st season now.
I’m not really one for dolfies, but that dolfie in black with the sword in the last pic is fucking awesome. Who is she and how do I get her?
Good eyes Snarky, the Dollfie cosplaying as Pirate is probably a standard DD Aoi with a Latooni Subota wig
Hmm, I might get Mashiro Mito. I really like her character design, and the DD version looks really nice, especially the eyes. But for sure I will get some outfits.
Moe does look better with that other wig, guess that’s the secret, buying extra wigs.
kiyoura´s last blog ..Sunday is for relaxing
I’m going to take a pass on Mito, but good luck to you if you are trying for her.
Moe is doing a lot better in that wig, her original wig didn’t do it for me at all. True that we all need to buy extra wig, but I haven’t gotten to that stage yet.
next year I will buy a dollfiedrea ^^;(I hope)
That Mai Dollfie looks pretty cute though, then again I’ve always favored Mai Shiranui in her very alternative design by Mahiru Izumi.
I think Mashiro has kitsunemimi, not nekomimi. ^^;;
Oh darn, pardon my ignorance! I had no idea there is such a category, Kitsunemimi, I see.
I have no problem with Mai’s design, just that the way her default costume doesn’t look very appealing to me, if they put her in a DDII body and put a skin colored body suit over her, may be that would have looked more appealing. The overly large size butt of the DDDy body isn’t exactly the most visually pleasing thing for me to look at from the side where her loincloth do not provide adequate coverage.
Yoo! your pages on otacool lol

Wootz, finally I see myself in the book! Ah those are the shots they went for, I see I see :3
Thank you so much for the heads up! ^_^
I have been looking everywhere for Saber’s outfits in Tokyo with no luck (did find Nanoha’s instructor outfit though). Thank goodness they are rereleasing them.
This time, I will have a shot at them, whether in Japan stores or online Volks raffles.
Glad to be of service! Actually I got ding on this already since I had recently bid on an auction for Saber plain clothes…. so naturally I paid more than what I would have had if I waited, but I got a bit of extra on that auction so, it’s not the end of the world. I will be going for the Eva school uniform and Mito’s deity dress set at the very minimum.
Y did Volks do dis 2 me!? MAI
That said she does not even look like the original Mai but hey DD never really has to look actually like the character. Too bad she costs so much.
Panther´s last blog ..Umineko no Naku Koro Ni ED Review
Hey Panther~
Looks like they follow the Mai based on alternative design by Mahiru Izumi in the Queen’s Blade Lost World Battle book? I am not a huge fan of Mai myself so I can’t speak much to it.
I fear I may unfortunately acquire Mai even though I, myself dislike her double edged sword of having a spouse share your interest I guess ^^;
I am more interested in the fashions then any of the dolls themselves this time around. The Evangelion fan in me is wanting to pounce on the school uniforms even though I don’t own Evangelion DDs yet.
The new fashions is definitely interesting, I will be gunning for Eva school uniform, Mito Deity dress set, and a couple other things~
Ehh, actually I am not all that fond of Mai, I personally think it’s a mistake for Volks to put her in DDDy. The overly large size butt and loincloth doesn’t work for me.
I’m succumbing to the idea of adopting a dollfie… Oh my… How evil! :-p
Welcome to the club Enrius~
good luck on all those outfits! I’m going for mito ^^ but might not take her deity dress, I think I can make one myself to save some money ^^
Lovely, just lovely. Your blog’s the best.
FaS´s last blog ..New Author! Hello World

It will take forever for me to explain the intricate details of acquiring a Dollfie Dream. I frequently dwell around a community site call http://www.figure.fm recently there is a topic of discussion just like what you are asking for http://www.figure.fm/post/en/11018/Dollfies.html feel free to read up on it first, if you still need any questions answered, feel free to drop me a note here again.
