Hometown Dolpa Osaka 3

Feb 17, 2007

    1. The site may have gone up recently, but it isn't the first time the dollpa date was announced, they give out the dealer forms way before they announce it on the website. The one after Osaka is the golden week dollpa in May. There's also always one on Christmas or Christmas Eve. You don't have to wait until the site goes up to make plans.
       
    2. While the dealer's forms are available earlier, unless someone in Japan shares that date it's much harder for someone outside Japan to find out. ^^;

      I wrote to Volks in December to ask when the Osaka/Kyoto Dolpa was and they informed to "wait until it is announced on their website" even though one would think they had to book Intex ahead of time.

      Tokyo Big Sight puts up its schedule 6 months in advance, so I find that is the best way for finding out when a Tokyo Dolpa is.

      BTW, the Winter Dolpa does move around some and is not always over Christmas. I remember a few years ago it was 12/7 and I'm pretty sure I've seen it as early as November. ^^;
       
    3. Oh! That is awesome to know! I want to go to a tokyo Dolpa some year and a 6 months notice will be wonderful!
       
    4. Yep she is a real peach.. she is getting my FCS MSD for me :cheer

      I sent Volks Inc an email about FCS and they sent me a super long email about why FCS should be done in person for a better experience. :crushed
       
    5. hee-hee..I knew the next dolpa wouldn't take so long to happen so I'm all 'prepared'!can't wait to see the new items!^.^
       
    6. [/QUOTE] Wah! Why does Volks keep releasing Cecile and Cyndy (okay, Cyndy only has two releases, but STILL!) and no Sylvie love? all this time on the seven seas with Cecile must have given her quite a tan by now!!![/QUOTE]

      Yes..a nice Sunlight Sylvie :drool

      I would fall over if they released her that way.

      X
       
    7. I hope for a re-release of Jun :eusa_pray

      If this happens I will somehow find a way to get her. I wonder if VolksUSA will be offering the Osaka Dolpa dolls?
       
    8. I hope for a SD13 boy >.> I have too many girls...

      I also was wondering if Volks USA will have Osaka dolls
       
    9. oh crap, i might need the haruhi @_@ She is one reason I named my Emma Haruhi xD; I always wanted a DD too, i just couldn't find a good reason.
       
    10. I love all these Dollfie Dreams but I don't like the idea of vinyl ><;;
      an MSD girl AND SD girl? I may need to save even more money.
      I wonder if there will be any other dolls released...

      21 more days. Exactly 3 weeks. lets hope we get a preview of all of the dolls this week!
       
    11. I'm hoping they'll send out the Dolpa news file soon, it seems to be cutting it close..though I guess it takes less time to get mail in Japan since it's so much smaller than here :sweat Erm, it hasn't been released physically yet, right? I didn't think I had to renew anything to get my copy *_*
       
    12. How do you get the Dolpa news? You mean that pamphlet thingy you can buy for 1,000 yen?
       
    13. Sorry I meant the news file, not the Dolpa one, I always get the terms mixed up. (Dolpa files have a color cover and black and white pages of the same things in the news file, and additional Dolpa-specific things like forms and ads for all the sellers attending. The original Dolpa files were gorgeous and even nicer than the current news files, but Volks has stopped making them like that :<) The news files come in thin plastic envelopes and are like a medium/high quality magazine, they contain color photos of everything that'll be sold at the Dolpa. I get mine from Japan because my F-15 was ordered at the Shinjuku Sumika :daisy
       
    14. Ah ok, I wish volks would send things like that to us foreigners. I wouldn't care if it was in japanese...I like pictures!
       
    15. I really hope that there will be a new SD16 boy or a new YoSD. I love the little ones! Though I wouldn't look askance at a new MSD boy similar to Hewitt.
       
    16. Me too ><;; this part is almost more nerve wracking than waiting for lottery results!
       
    17. I'm hoping there will be a new Yo too, though I really would prefer an open-eyed Yo to a sleeping one.
       
    18. ahhh the haruhi is so cute!!! cant wait to see more!!
       
    19. NO SD16 until next year PLEASE!~ :...(
       
    20. +nods+ more open eyed dolls please!! :D

      Am I the only one that isn't totally in love with the SD16's so far? The body sculpts kinda remind me of "Barbies for big kids" =/ Maybe I will change my mind if a very feminine girl or cuter boy comes out.
       
    21. aahhh Haruhi is so cute!^.^

      but what got me more than excited is the new DD optional hands!
      http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/dollfiedream/index_dollfiedream.aspx

      Since a lot of people use the DD body for their dolls they might find them interesting(although too Anime~ish)

      I'm so glad we ge to see some new optional parts and not the same ones as before but in different skin tone!:love
      tottaly refreshing!...can't wait to see what comes next!:D
       

    22. Oh, you love them?
      If I could get a good number at Osaka Dolpa, I get them for you, my dear!!!!!
       
    23. hee-hee...*ding-ding* sweet Ria_Ria to the rescue!~:love
      I might be Really interested atleast for a pair or two,yes!~lol... Thank you for your offer..always there for us!:D *chu*
       

    24. Sorry, I meant no SD16BOY for the next few Dolpas until next year. Scratch that, maybe next two years, when I finally can work and can afford to bring him fullset home :...( I'm aiming to bring the next on home :sweat
       
    25. I honestly felt the same way about SD16 girls... that is, until I brought one home. Barbies they are certainly not.
       
    26. MSD girl~ now i'm eager to know more :fangirl:
      i'm still hoping for a mini b head XD;;
       
    27. I haven't been impressed with any of the SD16s. ::shrugs:: But I am looking foreward to (hopefully!!!) a new, open eyed Yo... *__*
       
    28. still. nothing e__e
       
    29. No sd16 thi year??????? T______T
      Oughs I want a SD16 boy....
       
    30. None of the resin dolls have been announced on the Volks site yet, so that isn't certain :sweat This is also only one of assumedly four Japanese Dolpas this year, and is sometimes the Dolpa that has the least amount of dolls released out of the four. Don't give up hope just yet :daisy
       
    31. I shall await for the list of dolls for this Dolpa. :)
       
    32. In Japan, the name of one limited is well known now, so I think I can post it...
      "Nagisa Preschool Version" will be released for Osaka Dolpa :)

      If they release two MSDs like as "Manabu & Midori", I want them to release Enn in person (I have Enn though). After many One-Offs came with that head, that model often be re-released. I heard recently Enn One-Off often comes and expect it...(but this is simply my wish ^^; )
       
    33. not a new mold?? :...(
       
    34. Maybe SD girl is a new mold~. (If she's Kurumi in other outfit, it's OK for me!)
       

    35. In that case, I think I'll be safe this Dolpa. *was hoping for a white skinned msd girl* Unless they do another Hewitt release, that is. I'd be in big trouble they did. ^^;
       
    36. :yawn I'm not too enchanted with Nagisa. Oh well, now to wait and see what the other doll/dolls will be ^^;; It might be a good thing if none of the dolls catch my eye this time.
       
    37. it costs to understand English a little to me...

      But I understand that NAgisa is released for Osaka dolpa? A new version preschool? *_*
      Nagisa is a beautiful sweet and cute mold!
      Hopefully it is certain


      usagi665, I Don't give up hope just yet; I have the hope to have a SD16 soon. ^_______^
       
    38. Yep! It's definitely her, and she has the same type uniform as Midori in Preschool.

      Like ria_ria I'm assuming there will also be a boy with her, like Midori had Manabu. It might be Enn, since he seems to be popular, but personally I am predicting a new head mold for the boy, as Manabu was a new mold.
       
    39. Nagisa... &#243;_&#242; Maybe the boy will be a new mold.. (I hope so.. xD).

      Maybe a re-edition of a SD10 boy? (Michele, for example) *yuurin in wonderland* T.Tu
       
    40. Are there any pictures up? I try to search the Japanese Volks site but never manage to find anything :/

       
    41. Volks has released a photo of her but it's not online yet, sorry :sweat
       
    42. Oh, so it was in the mail?

       


    43. muyhhnnuhhhhh *dribble dribble yum* Michele - Hahah, I WISH O_O! I love nasiga though, I'm so glad she is being rereleased!
       
    44. Perhaps (if it was in the mail) someone who has it can scan it for us? :3
       
    45. I'm a little weirded out. Its going to be a very to have a dolpa without any dolls I want to buy ><;;; (I've only been here since Dolpa16) I hope there are some cool outfits!

      Also, its 17 days until the event. I really hope they put up pics of the dolls this week ><;;

      PS: Usagi...I didn't recognize you because of that avatar ><;;
       
    46. Personally, I really adore Nagisa. lol But I actually like my old skin one quite a lot, and I've just never been able to appreciate the old skin vs. pureskin differences enough.

      The original Nagisa looks good in nearly every wig and photographs beautifully. I think this will be really nice for people though since original Nagisa was selling awfully high for a while. o_O
       
    47. i really liked Nagisa and was really sad when she was really limited. But now that she's in the dolpha im really glad ^_^ ! I really wish volks would hurry it up and tell us all the dolls they'll have available ^^;;!

      They'll probibly have these dolls up on the volksusa site sometime right?
       
    48. My friend in Japan just got our Dolpa preview in the mail. OMG is all I can say. I am editing the pictures she took now so I can upload them!!!!
       
    49. Oh, don't keep us in suspense! Who is the SD girl????
       
    50. oh please hurry!!! ^_^
       
    51. There was a blank Michele head on Y!J the other day... at the time it was only at 6100 yen (approx $50). I love that headmold but I don't think I need one...still hard not to try to get it.

      It is about time they rereleased a Michele!!!
       
    52. Oh, My, Goodness! Thank you for the images rkold!

      Luna is Perfect for my "Momoko" girl, her eyes are the wrong collour but that is easily changed :fangirl:

      Im not sure of any of the yos are perfect for me. I may have to wait to see more pictures.
       
    53. :o Where do I even start!?! Luckily, doll-wise, only Mamu is love at first sight, but the clothes!:o

      Thanks so much for the preview!
       
    54. If Luna is an SD10, not SD13 and i win her do you think anyone would be willing to split? I really want the wig and clothes!
       
    55. Is the Nagisa mold changed slightly? it does look different maybe the chin or something? I have Nagisa too and wanted a pureskin for a long time to held off buying her. Kinda attached to mine too so it will be hard to upgrade without comparing them in person eeksss.

      I love the stars shine bright outfit in red will be able to order all these dolls and outfits on the volks usa site?
       
    56. Personally, I am not sure what is changed, but she just does not look as cute as original Nagisa to me. ^^;; I love Nagisa, she is my favorite Volks MSD mold ever, but this new one.. Though I hope she has an amusing story like Midori and Manabu.

      I'm not going to upgrade. I much prefer the one I currently own. But the Yos... >>; And I need those two Yo cat outfits. lol
       
    57. :aheartbea :aheartbea :aheartbea BTSSB Luna is GORGEOUS:aheartbea :aheartbea :aheartbea
      She does look a whole lot like Kurumi though:sweat .... I love that wig and her gorgeous outfit!!!!! I didn't expect fo fall in love with another SD so soon after my Kurumi:|
      ~Anthony
       
    58. Squeee!! I'm so happy we have pictures now!! :D Thanks rkold!!!:abow:

      List of things I want:

      MSD Nagisa: I always thought she was adorable. :chibi I agree that her face looks a little different, but maybe it's just her faceup of the lighting.

      SD BTSSB Luna: Luna is so beautiful!!! :love I absolutely love her pink, ruffled dress. Doesn't she look like Kurumi's older sister or something? :)

      Both BTSSB Outfits: I was hoping they'd make the Little Red Riding Toppi outfit in SD size!! :cheer Mimi looks so cute in it!! I also love the black outfit, so stylish.

      Black Label Clothes: So romantic and gothy! :aheartbea

      Hakamas: I love Japanese clothing. :chibi

      Pink Label Clothes: Sooo cute and ruffley!! :blush
