Hometown Dolpa Osaka 3

Feb 17, 2007

    1. Does anyone know if the cute scepter is part of Luna's outfit or just a prop used for the pictures? I tried to translate the description with Babel Fish, but it doesn't make much sense: "set contents: The doll itself and wig "Cinderella one piece coordinating set (9 point sets)" the ribbon fish deca- pin, the ribbon fish comb and the ribbon fish pearl choker, the Cinderella one piece, プリンセスクラウンセプター, the tulle pannier, the torsion race/lace bloomer and the beading lace high socks, the ribbon it is distant shoes price of the flower: XXYEN 85,000 (including tax XXYEN 89,250)." Something definitely got lost in the translation -- especially since the choker looks like a butterfly, not a fish! I could, of course, wait for Volks to post it in English, but I'm afraid that I'm not very patient sometimes.... ;)
       
    2. Don't worry, it's included ^^ The "プリンセスクラウンセプター" translates to Princess Crown Scepter.
       
    3. The part written in katakan (プリンセスクラウンセプター) says princess crown scepter. So perhaps it is included?

      Lol, someone beat me to it! XD
       
    4. Thank you nena and Eternal Serenity! I was afraid that it was going to be like Carol's basket and only given out with the dolls in Japan.
       
    5. Does Luna have high heeled feet or does it just look like she does in those shoes? Also are her hands a special sculpt? they dont look like any of the normal ones

      Where's Usagi when you need her? lol
       
    6. I'm so excited to see more pics of Mamu! Yep, that's the one for me!:fangirl:

      Strangely, I'm now starting to see he/she as more of a he. Is that weird? And I'm so happy that he comes with smoke olive eyes, because they are one of my favorite eye colors!

      If anyone is getting Puff and doesn't want his wig, I would love to have it!

      Good luck to everyone getting the doll you want! :)
       
    7. Squeee!!! :D Luna is part of the Harajuku story! :dance Maybe I was right and Luna really is Kurumi's sister!!! :aheartbea
       
    8. I wish my Kurumi would get here soon.... I'm starting to feel that "I NEED ANOTHER DOLL!!" feeling =X
       
    9. I don't think the arch in those shoes looks that high, I used to have a pair of Baby shoes with that same type of heel and they didn't have a very steep incline, my guess is that she has flat feet. As for the hands, to me they look like the SD10 H-01, which is the default hand for several of the standard girls and many of the LEs, and for boys I think Magical Michael is the only one who has it? Maybe other Michaels too. The hand is like the default SD13 girl hand but chubbier, which I love :aheartbea
       
    10. Yay... I was looking at Luna's photos when I found the Harajuku story icon... Firstly I was wondering what is it (I am sorry... I am so "forgetting full" :sweat) and than I realized that it is Harajuku story's icon :) ... That is fantastic... :aheartbea But I think that Luna is not Kurumi's sister. Imo she is her friend or Tony's girlfriend :sweat

      I want her more and more :)
       
    11. Ok thanks ^^ I was just wondering about the hands because Kurumi has different hands and I think I like the ones on Luna better...

      About the feet. hmm ok I guess it was wishful thinking.... are the human sized baby shoes comfortable? I dont want to buy a pair and not have them be comfortable ><;;
       
    12. To me they look like H-01 hands, but more curled to hold Luna's scepter. They look different then H-03 though, so I think they may be unique. Somewhere between H-01 and H-03. We won't know for sure until we've seen owner pics. :)

      You might be right. :) It would be kinda cute if tough Tony had pink, ruffly Luna for a girlfriend. :chibi Though I think Kurumi would be jealous. ;) I love the way Volks has been making so many wonderful punk/gothic/sweet lolita dolls! :love I love Volks!!! :D
       
    13. See thats what I was thinking =/ I cant wait to find out XD I want them either way!
       
    14. Me too!! :XD:
       
    15. Oh my heavens . . . I did not imagine that such a foofy pink dress as Luna's could exist! :aheartbea But it might be too foofy even for my girly girl Gwena, lol. I'll have to see! The crown scepter is a cute touch though, and I do think Luna's hands look a bit more curled than normal SD girl hands? Could just be the angle though.

      I LOVE the red BtSSB dress though, it is just too cute! *counts pennies* And those little Yo's in their kitty outfits . . . ouch. This much cuteness at once is painful! :D :sweat
       
    16. Posting this since people will inevitably be unable to access the blog once it gets overloaded with traffic.

       
    17. Thank you so much for that Usagi:D .... The blog always LOVEs to crap out on me:|.... Ohhhh I have a slim chance for Luna:love This is the best news I've heard all Day:sumomo:
      ~Anthony
       
    18. Wow...I love papi....
       
    19. i changed my mind i think i'll go for puff now!! ^^;;;!!
       
    20. Luna... sooo pretty!!! :chibi :aheartbea
       
    21. I think my favorite doll at this Dolpa is Puff, he is so sweet, he reminds me of a baby Ushiwakamaru :kitty1 That said I won't be buying him, I'm trying to prioritize my wishlist now :sweat
       
    22. Oh boy. I so want Luna's oufit!
      Those Yo-sd's have my heart, they are precious!
       
    23. I am definately trying for Luna!:aheartbea
       
    24. The more I look at Luna the more I like her :D I just don't think I will have the money for her soon enough. :XD:

      Kurumi is still my favorite.. but Luna is very beautiful as well. I think I like Kurumi's face better but Luna's outfit better. They're both the exact sort of style of doll I go for though :)
       
    25. You are so lucky to have gotten Kurumi. :) I want her so badly! :...(
       
    26. Speaking of Kurumi and the Harajuku story, I found the sweetest picture on the Tenchi-no-Sato site!

      [​IMG]

      Isn't that adorable??? :D It's like Kurumi wants to share her heart with Tony, but is too shy to tell him how she feels. :blush Volks is so wonderful. :aheartbea
       
    27. That picture is super super adorable :aheartbea Thanks for posting it Cammy :)

       
    28. I want to smack Tony and make him pay attention to her! He needs to stop acting cool :lol:
       
    29. LOL! :lol: Oh, I'm sure he's a romantic underneath his coolness. :aheartbea He'll get it eventually. :)
       
    30. why is it that the yo's are the only doll that don't come with the clothes??
       
    31. I've wondered this myself.
       
    32. I'm glad they don't come with clothes, they would become more expensive! :lol: Half the time I don't like the "default" outfits they come with so it saves me a lot of trouble by not having to resell it!
       

    33. oh wow! i didnt even notice that till now...is that a good or bad thing?
       
    34. I believe the "become more expensive" comment is one reason why Volks doesn't do it, they'd be comparable to MSDs in price yet be smaller, have less detailed face ups, and non-glass eyes due to their size.

      Would also like to point out Volks used to release SD10 LEs without clothing, and a few MSD LEs as well. I'm not entirely sure of the exact time line, but the last ones I can recall off the top of my head were Phyllis and Lilith.
       
    35. D: I cant get into the Volks blog!
      I just saw that they have Baby stuff *needs it*
      Would anybody mind telling me if VolksUSA will have a lottery for the Baby stuff and if I missed it? D: the blog wont work for me.
       
    36. Post 318 on page 16 has the blog info copied in it, Usagi was kind enough to post it for us. :) The blog rarely works for me either!
       
    37. Thanks! I didnt notice the dates *marks the calender* X.X I must be going blinder then I already am.
      Puff ;.; I want....
       
    38. :sweat ; Sorry to sound like a total newbie and all but... If they do offer the Osaka 3 Limiteds on the VolksUSA site... How exactly do you apply to order one? I know there's an application but I'm slightly confused about the process since it says under Papi, Puff, etc. that it's a lottery entry.

      Do they pick applications at random and email you saying that you won the lottery, giving you the chance to order one of the Limiteds? *_* ; I'm sorry for asking so many questions. I'm still kind of new to the whole Dolpa thing.
       
    39. For the August Dolpa in 2006 you e-mailed them your order and waited a week for them to decide who won their lotteries, then they e-mailed you back and requested your payment if you did win. Not all items go to a lottery, some don't get many orders, and items only turn into lottery sales if, say, 200 people want the doll but there are only 150 made.
       
    40. Yes.. Volks USA is going to run the lottery again. :dance
       
    41. :) ; Thank you for telling me what you know. I really appreciate it. :sweat ; I was just wondering since I wanted to try my luck with Yo-SD Puff and I was clueless on how I could enter in the first place.
       
    42. Just make sure you have something to keep your mind off of wondering if your getting a Puff. I must have driven everyone I know bonkers the last lottery waiting period, because I was so irritated at every little thing. :vein
       
    43. Anybody knows if WeLoveDolls as an American "company" can also ship worldwide or only to US... ?? :sweat
       
    44. Only US I think.
       
    45. Hi Hasacz,

      While I am not affiliated with We Love Dolls, I remember this issue coming up with a previous Dolpa and I believe that they can not ship Worldwide, just to the US, Canada, and Mexico for Volks items.

      I'm afraid if you want a Dolpa item you will need to either use the Volks International site during the AE (which the dates for have not been announced yet) or use the secondary market.

      Sorry!
      ;;_;;
       
    46. Thank you for your answer...
      I am so sad hearing that :( Because I have never bought anythink I really wanted during the AE... Second market prices are too high for me, so this options is not good too :...(
      I have to ask- Is there anyone from Japnese who is going to go for the Dolpa and is not going to buy Luna and can buy her for me??
      Or maybe someone from US who can try to get her for me in lottery?? :(
       
    47. Getting a doll from a physical Dolpa is extremely difficult, most Japanese people can't even get dolls for themselves when they attend. Your best bet is to just try the after event, like most of the rest of the world will be doing :sweat
       
    48. Usagi is right. It is really hard for someone in Japan to obtain a doll for themselves, let alone for other people. From what I understand you wait in line for hours for a doll you probably won't get.
      I would try the AE for the doll you want or the secondary market.
       
    49. I really like him too Usagi! I was thinking that he looked like a baby Ushi too!
      I need to prioritize my wishlist too, and my current dolls really want some of those new clothes they have coming out!
       
    50. Oh I know *_* my girl is begging me for that gym uniform. I wish I had someone to wear the black Baby outfit but it really doesn't suit my Cyndy and it'd be a waste of money. Such a cute purse and shoes, though ;_;
       
    51. Ok... now I know that getting dolls in Japan during Dolpas is really hard but... you guys who live in US can obtain your dream dolls easily :sweat So if anybody from US can help me please let me know :

      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122266

      Please look this thread... :)

      I do not even want to try in AE getting your doll... I have tried many times before (Dolpa 16, last Dolpa in Nagoya etc.) and I have not gor what I really wanted... :( So that is only the reason I am asking for help - I do not have luck in these types of events :sweat
       
    52. Yes, getting a doll at a Dolpa in person is very unpleasant and difficult. I tried to get one there a few years ago. I waited on line in the freezing cold from 7 am until 9 am when I was given a very bad lottery # and then waited on line another 2 hours in the cold in hopes things would work out before the doll I wanted sold out and I gave up to visit the dealer's room.

      While trying to get dolls for those of us who live in the US, Canada and Mexico is much easier, in that the lottery we apply for is via email so no long lines in the cold, it is a lottery if said item is popular. There were quite a few members who did not get Dolpa dolls they applied for. So there is really no guarantees there either.

      Good luck trying to get Luna!
       
    53. Yeah... I know that entering lottery cannot guarantee getting your dream doll but... the chances are much more "higher" than in during the AE :sweat

      Thank you for such (a ?) nice words... :aheartbea
       
    54. My want for Luna isn't going away... Cry! There is no way I can get her and she wouldn't look right with my other girls but STILL!!! Sigh. I love her wig. Her dress. Her eyes. Her "I don't care what you think, Daddy, I am wearing this in public" mouth. Sigh....

      Anyway, maybe some people will take a look at my sig and that will help them... XD I am not able to apply for any of the dolls this time for myself so...
       
    55. I want Luna's dress the 2 yos, nagisa and the red dress.
      I am surprise they are not boys this time around.

      Geri
       
    56. I love her wig, and outfit so much XD I want that dress for myself but havent seen it on the BabySSB website :( and oh how I wish I could get my hair to do that! I'm just hoping the volks dealers find out soon who got what. ><;;;

      +sigh+ Papi .... I want .... I already bought her wings and some hands. ><;;; I want her so bad I might even pay after market costs for her >.> Why aren't more people wanting the Black A&P outfit I think it is so awesome XD I actually wanted that set for myself but I'm too big ><;;;
       
    57. *raises hand* Right here Manami, I'm dying to get that outfit. Only problem is I don't have a doll for it anymore...not the right size and not the right personalities. But I'm seriously considering buying it anyway just in case the right doll ever does come along. And thinking this way is the reason why I'm always scraping for money, of course...
