Wolfheinrich's World

I have been waiting for the release info of the revamped White Album PS3 game since a few months ago… for some of the regular visitors here, it’s the same old routine of me embarking on a fact finding mission of learning about the story of the characters being release in Dollfie Dream form.

I read some initial review of White Album, but I wasn’t too impressed with the basis of the story at the time, but a few online friends have managed to convince me to give the White Album anime that was being aired last year a try.  They thought I would take a liking into Ogata Rina 緒方理奈 because her character is quite unique and devoid of any “moe” character trait that seems to dominate the anime industry in recent years.

Over the past year since I have entered the world of Dollfie Dream, I have mistakenly allowed some of my most desired items slipped past my grasp.  I waited for months and months without finding them again, and I was left with pondering why I didn’t try harder when the chance was available.  This past two months of 2010 has been especially meaningful to me, since quite a few of the items I missed out on has reappeared in front of me.  This time I wasn’t going to let them slip pass me again!  A pretty big haul that is, but I am very happy that I have finally gotten them in my hands!  So, let’s take a look at them, shall we?

The final pre-order period for the White Album girls has finally started yesterday!  Volks USA is quite fast in putting up the dedicated character page for the new girls~

This pre-order period for USA customer will be open from February 19th to March 7th! (continue reading…)

As we approach the 2nd pre-order period for the White Album X Dollfie Dream collaboration project, Volks has released the more refined images of Dollfie Dream Rina and Yuki for us!  I am very pleased to see these refined images of Rina and Yuki as they become much closer to what I would expect them to look like in Dollfie Dream form.

As some of you might recalled, I briefly mentioned in my last post that I expected some tweaks on the new girls and this is exactly the type of tweak I have been looking for!  Yuki looks a bit younger and more innocent and Rina looking sexy and foxy like she is! (continue reading…)

This is your last chance to put your pre-order in for the White Album Dollfie Dream girls, the super early pre-order period will end for the Volks USA customers at 6:00pm PST today!

A few days ago, we got a chance to catch a glimpse at the face mold of the actual Rina and Yuki, and as a world renowned Rina expert, I have to say they got the likeness of Rina pretty much dead on!

Let’s take a look at some reference artwork~

Volks went with the brown eyes instead of the blue as shown in the anime, which is understandable because Rina’s original design has brown eyes. (continue reading…)

The Super Early Pre-Order period for the White Album Dollfie Dream has finally begun today!  And I have obviously completed the preliminary adoption paperwork to bring my 11th daughter Rina, and 12th daughter Yuki home.  I have done something unique this time though.  This is the first time I am committing to bring new daughters home before seeing their faces.  Why would I do that?  Am I crazy or something?  Well no, it’s all very well calculated, for one, I have already determined to take one of the most elegant bishoujo in recent years -- Ogata Rina home, that’s a given, she needed a proper representation in my harem lineup.  And Yuki, pretty much serve the function to that of Nanoha for Fate; I have to pick her up to keep Rina company~

The other purpose, is of course to ensure that Rina would have a color matched partner to perform their Cho-Henshin!

The term Symmetrical Docking is, in contrast to popular believe, a borrowed term from the hot blood super robot show, The King of Braves -- GaoGaiGar.  Symmetrical Docking can only be performed when the “SympaRate”, a measure of the synchronization and unity of the blue robot -  HyoRyu and the red robot -- EnRyu reaches 100%, the result of their Symmetrical Docked form, also known as Cho Ryu Jin, serves a much greater purpose than what could ever achieve individually.  The same criteria applies to my Rina and Yuki, and their combined form would certainly come in handy in the Dollfie Dream Theater as well.

Now, keep in mind that these pre-order bonus are only available for those of us who are willing to put our order in before seeing the final product, as a reward.  Volks has no plan to reveal the final product until the 2nd pre-order period, which doesn’t come with the bonus.  But in any event, the actual transaction do not take place until mid-March, which means there is still a chance to cancel the order if the final product do not meet your expectation.

There are also some very lovely casual outfits for Rina and Yuki, some preview pictures are available at the Sumika Times Blog.  The Yuki dress and boots is my personal favorite among the 3 sets.  I am not sure why they are giving Rina those pink boots because she has never wore pink boots within the anime!
