Kyoto Dolpa 8 (March 13, 2011)

Jan 31, 2011

    1. Only six weeks to go until Kyoto Dolpa 8, so I thought it was about time to get the thread started! ;)

      Kyoto Dolpa 8 will be held at Kyoto Pulse Plaza on Sunday, March 13, from 10am-3pm. As per standard Dolpa procedure, the Kyoto 8 guidebook will act as a ticket for admission to the Dolpa.

      Judging by the event website, looks like Dream Nights for the theme ... I'm guessing Hansel & Gretel!

      No workshop announcements yet, either, although the pre-Dolpa Zenyasai at Tenshi-no-Sato for VS/VIP members has been announced.

    2. Oh nooo >_<;;; another Home Town Dolpa times already ''orz nooo...
      They haven't announced any release for the limiteds yet... I hope no Banquet series ;A; *cries*
       
    3. Waa! Kyoto Dolpa! I knew DP25 is in Apr. but I thought there was something in between. Yes!
      Now the anticipation begins! :shudder
      Do we think we will see the SDGr girl here?
      I don't even know what I'm hoping for this time :? Maybe some new MSDs or SDCs.
      but it's always exciting to see what will be released.
       
    4. I'm gonna say historical dudes!
       
    5. I would love to see new SDC's!!! How exciting!!:D
       
    6. I hope... I didn't see any SDGr Boy or SD17 but... I wanna know about SDGr Girl XD it catches my attention. Wondering about body joint and poseability >,<b
       
    7. I think we're due for another SDC or two, but I'm thinking a SDGr boy. The SDGr girl maybe . . . that seems like a bit of a tight schedule for me, but I could be wrong. :sweat

      I'm not hoping for anything at this point, as I can't get any more dolls for a while. But I hope what other people want shows up! If by some bizarre miracle a sunlight SD17 boy came out I'd be in trouble, but otherwise . . .
       
    8. Sunlight SD17 would be wonderful :D
       
    9. I really am hoping for a Mini! I have been yearning for a new SDC or MSD <3 I also would love a new Yo sculpt ^_^
       
    10. I'm just hoping it's not an SD17 or SDGr this time. My resistance has been low against these! However, I am hoping for some beautiful outfit sets. I can always justify those. :D
       
    11. Hopefully no more SD17.... My wallet cant sustain it anymore. :(
       
    12. I wonder if the VS/VIP pre event includes new or re-release of a tenshi.
       
    13. XD I´m so exited. I was waiting for the announcement to be made these days.
      Last year I got Little Lorina at the event, I believe...or were just hijikata souji okita sold at that event ?_?...

      Anyway- a part of me hopes there will be super cute girls in SD10-size or a cute looking SD16 like Kira <3 but then of course I´ll be super broke ^^; Volks and their Dolpas >x<
       
    14. Oh god. *covers eyes* I must not look I must not look!
       
    15. Tsukishiro, where did you find the info on this Kyota Dolpa. I haven't seen anything on the Volks Japan site.
      Marianna
       
    16. They list upcoming dolpas on the Japanese site....on the main Japanese volks page, there is a link to the Dolpa portal page on the bottom (left hand side). If you look on the portal site you will see info for a couple upcoming Dolpas. Once a page for an event is created, you should be able to access it from the portal. ^_^

      I reworded this. Sorry about that, I hope that all made sense lol!
       
    17. Nabee, thanks for your help, but I am so totally confused. I just can't find any portal that you mentioned. Do you have an actual link to this portal that I can click on.
      Marianna
       
    18. Marianna -- if you look in my original post, the "Dolpa Portal" link is the portal that NabeeRain is talking about. There's no official website for Kyoto 8 yet, but the Dolpa Portal does have info about dealer registration for Kyoto 8 (and Dolpa 25, for that matter) at the top, along with some event details. Hope that helps!

      ETA: Looks like Nabee beat me to it!
       
    19. Thanks Nabee, I found it.
       
    20. Thanks tsukishiro and you are welcome Marianna ^_^

      I was hoping to post instructions so those looking forward to future dolpas will know where to look.
       
    21. They mentioned limited goods, but that's as specific as they get. I think that info will come out in the next Volks News like the other Dolpa info.
       
    22. I'm going. already ahve my flight booked and everything. Since this is my last year in Japan. I went to one in Kyoto 3 years ago. hope the guidebooks go up soon. Need to get mine in my paws before I board my plane...
       
    23. I'm excited for this! I guess it's too early for hints on who will be released..

      I hope for a new MSD size gal or SDC gal. Or Remi! *o* I should actually have spare cash if I start saving now. I'll just hope there's no SD size I love.. -keeps fingers crossed- !!
       
    24. Oh thats great. How exciting!!!
       
    25. Am hoping to see a new SD girl perhaps so I can perhaps decide if I should get myself a 1st big girl in my years within this hobby ^^
       
    26. I am thinking probably some historical figures....must not look must not look.....my poor wallet can't take it anymore!
       
    27. I really can't say who I want to be released... ok maybe I can! hahaha I want Lunaaaa!! But ya we shall see. I want to be surprised ^_^ !
       
    28. SDC or YoSD would make me happy! I am getting a Kaede pretty soon, and it'd be cool to get her someone else her own size, same with my Tanpopo coming in.
       
    29. I'm hoping for all boys or minis. *lol* Then I'd be safe. A new SD13 girl though and I might be in big trouble.

      I think I'm more excited about limited clothes and shoes. :D
       
    30. Im kinda hoping they dont release anything I want, Im pretty picky so hopefully I will luck out ^O^. Good luck to everyone else.
       
    31. I hope no SD17 from the time being ''orz my wallet already empty.... (_ _lll)~ I never thought about sunlight SD17 :XD: it sound so interesting (_ _lll) oh... noo... oh... noo... my wallet is doomed XD;;;a
       
    32. I'm definately not in the market for another doll right now, but I am still anxious to see what they have in store :)
       
    33. Yearning with anticipation in the hope that they'll release yo 4 sisters.
       
    34. I wish they'll re-release either Michele or Genji or Luna:eusa_pray. I really need at least one of those three:fangirl:
       
    35. As I have no irons in the fire for this one, I think I'll hope for Luna, just because so many people have been wishing for her for so long :sweat.

      I'm curious to even see which theme/storyline they'll come out with this time. Lately there have been a lot of awesome outfits . . .
       
    36. A new SD13 girl would be really nice ~
       
    37. OMG... I tried to avoid DoA for a while because I try to keep myself from finding new dolls, but the first time I visit the forum I find those news of next Dolpa........ and I have this strange feeling, they will release some wonderful Dollfies again which will kill all my plans of saving!
      Even I'll hate myself for this, but I wish they release a SD17 Heath and I'm also dreaming of a SD17 sunlight boy!! A new SDC boy would also be great! And re-release of YoSD Neon!!!
       
    38. I agree if they release a Heath or genji on sd17 or any sd17 for that matter, there goes my no-more doll plans.

      Aw, I really want to attend a dolpa! My japan trip has been pushes back to April! Smack right in the middle of nowhere, in btw kyoto dolpa in mar and the may dolpa. :(
       
    39. Jo77, May Dolpa ?????
       
    40. I can't wait to see what Volks has to offer this time. I just hope there is no one I want, but the cloths are another matter.

      @Jo77: I believe there is a Dolpa 25 on April 30th


      Briar
       
    41. There's one SD13 Heath for sato I think o_O the event before this
       
    42. The usual May dolpa been shifted to 30 Apr? Darn, I will be there from 15th-23rd apr. :(

      I was wanting for a SD17 Heath! :) I have a weakness for the SD17 body. hee
       
    43. I'm another one who would love to see an SD17 version of Heath. Or heck, that SD17 Tsukasa they've got kicking around.
       
    44. You had to bring up the elusive SD17 Tsukasa, didn't you? XD I wish! Hmmm... Other than that I'll be hoping that they (don't) have more hot SDGr boys or SDC boys. :sweat
       
    45. If they have a boy I want I can always get it in the future cause I was thinking about maybe 1 more volks sd boy XP. If they have any girls I want im pretty much dead though XD. Are they releasing outfits to I hope for some cute outfits sd maybe dollfie dream @_@
       
    46. I'm hoping they don't release an SD17 boy, especially a Heath one, otherwise my plan of only one doll this half of the year might change to two dolls instead. x__x I liked Williams from the last Dolpa but he didn't really wow me. However, if it's an SD17 from the Echoes of a Beautiful Banquet storyline, I'm doomed. They're always pretty. XD
       
    47. I wonder about how long it would take Volks to post which releases will be made. I'm really hoping for another SD17 though. We shall see, but playing the waiting game kills me!
       
    48. I would really like to see a new MSD or two or maybe sum re-release of a Yo
       
    49. HANSEL AND GRETTEL!!!!!!!!

      The only question is... will they be MSD or YOSD? Maybe we will se a beautifull SD16 whitch?

      EDIT: Please, please, please, mr Volks. Make the kids MSD... Hubby will kill me if I bring another YOSD at home...
       
    50. This is exciting but I'm all spent for a while after winning Williams...I love that this next party is Hansel and Gretel themed though as it will surely be so adorable:)
       
    51. Thank you tsukishiro for updating us! What a delightful theme. I'm so looking forward to what they have in store for us!
       
    52. From the pictures it looks like a Hansel and Gretal theme. I am hoping that I don't like anything. I have spent way too much recently. Barb in L.A.
       
    53. Thank you so much for the update, tsukishiro!

      Oh yeah! Another addition to Journey to Dream Nights! I wonder if they'll have a SD13 or SD16 girl as the witch in addition to the expected Hansel and Gretel!
       
    54. I suspect deadly cute incoming . . . kyaa~
       
    55. Volks really outdid themselves on this design. I think I just spent about 5 minutes squeeing over the cuteness of the website! So excited to see how they do Hansel and Gretel. I hope for MSDs just because they need more love, but I also hope they're not ones I need to own ^^;.
       
    56. >.< Very nice theme! Fairytales AND cuteness - more than I have been hoping for. So exited to see the dolls ^.^
       
    57. Wow, Hansel and Gretal. I sense cute Yos! I really hope I'm wrong! I hope I hate everything!!

      Oh! And that may mean an SD16 witch which I will be safe from!
       
    58. The Hansel and Gretel theme sounds adorable. I would love to see these characters on MSD though, but YoSD doesn't sound bad either. Thank you for the update tsukishiro.
