    1. I want to dress mine in Lolita dresses too!! :D Maybe if we're both lucky enough to get her, our Sweet Dream Nonos could be friends! :daisy

      You said it, sister! :thumbup Nono Lovers Unite!!! :cheer

      That would be great! :aheartbea Our motto could be "Nono Lovers Unite!" in Japanese or Latin! :lol:
       
    2. That's sweet that you noticed! :D Yep, Nono is my favorite headmold ever, she was my first doll too. I have high hopes that all of us Nono lovers on DoA will be able to get her! Nono is more popular in Japan (or so I hear?) but there are relatively fewer fans of her in the west. *proactively crosses fingers for us*

      jyhhaur, thanks SO much for the pics! :) Whew! I am relieved that Crystal and the SD13 boy aren't calling to me. The boy is gorgeous but not to my taste, and I must admit I do really like Crystal -- but she is too sophisticated looking to fit in with my girls. I'd be tempted to make her into a boy though! She does look a lot like Tsukasa IMHO.

      And SwD Nono is just perfect. :aheartbea I even love her outfit! It would make a good present to placate Gwena, who wears mostly sailor suits. :lol: And of course, if I manage to snag a SwD Nono she will wear lots of frilly girly loilita dresses!

      Oooh! And we could have one of those little sig pictures, like the El Army has, lol.
       
    3. I'm not sure if I like Amakusa's eyeshape, but Crystal looks very promising! I love serious girls ^^ the yo's look very adorable too :D
       
    4. Exactly! :D We can spread the Nono Love! :aheartbea

      Oh, it'll be my dream come true to see so many Sweet Dream Nonos in pretty lolita dresses! :love
       
    5. eh? which signature the pix of my boys and me?? XD HAHAHA

      i couldn't help it XD im a dork
       
    6. Wow! Crystal is so cool, and I really like de yosd girl! she is so cute!!
       
    7. HOLY Q(@#$

      I want shirou AND crystal...

      :CURSES: ><ASD:LKJASD I LOVE their eyes

      and shirou looks so,, "no sir, i dont like it"

      :dies: *_*

      duno if this has been answered but is he Long leg? or regular Sd13?

      and has prices etc been listed yet? ive never tried buying any limited DIRECTLY yet so @_@
       
    8. That's exactly what I'm doing too! LOL!:lol: :lol: :lol: Dooooooooooomed! It took me years to find my perfect YoSD (Lin) and the YoT of my dreams (Mamu), so the likelyhood of me falling for these two new cuties is slight right?! Say it with me here..."No Yo, no Yo, I don't need no mo Yo!" ;)

      Hugs, Juli DC 8) (Is it midnight yet?)
       
    9. Ayumu and Crystal are wonderful! He's such a delightful mischevious looking lil scamp and I think she is just stunning. I love her outfit and shoes! Her face sculpt is very mature. I adore adore adore Ayumu though. :aheartbea
       
    10. Kitty will Volks ever TRUELY gives us a break? Maybe a year off to recover from the Last few Dolpas?*_* I've wanted at least one Limited for the past few Dolpas:( This is going to be an absolute nightmare for my wallet:( But I will be in Bliss with Sweet Dream Nono and SD13 Crystal:love
      ~Anthony
       
    11. Of course not! I've said it before that they are out to milk us of every penny for the near foreseeable future! If they start having the typical Dolpas in the USA complete with multiple limiteds and such we will really be doomed. Because then it will be so close we'll feel compelled to fly to the Dolpas and spend even MORE money. >_>
       
    12. seriously they're only going to stop when we all have to put up our houses and live in cardboard boxes XX
       
    13. Well I definitely want Tanpopo, and I am debating in my head whether I really NEED Crystal. She looks like a combination of Liz and Amelia, which I both own. How am I supposed to afford all of this? >.<
       
    14. LOL, well at least all our dolls already have their own boxes! :lol:
       
    15. I'm already on it-- here's all the places to sell your blood or plasma in California. See you there.
      http://www.californiaplasma.com/

      ...
      ..
      .
      Oh wait... Mr. Foxy Christian Samurai is HOW much...??
      *calculates how many pints of saleable blood usually circulate in one 5'9" woman*
       
    16. We cant sell blood here in canada or i'd be on it!
      Sigh....
       
    17. ROFLMAO

      how MUCH -IS- he?

      and if you go on craigslist.com for california we can go be lab rats!

      be subjected to human drug experiments but it says it pays well!! rofL!

      500 dollars to grow a tumor and see if the pills can kill it!! XD ROFL

      i think i can take on a few tumors and lost blood
       
    18. Crystal is my absolute first choice. I'm liking SDNono more and more. The SD13 Boy hasn't appealed to me yet, so I think I'm safe with him. Something about his mouth. Maybe it's just the picture, but it looks messy?
       
    19. to me, it just looks really "firm" like he's very opinionated or something
       
    20. I'm wondering if his face-up was too quickly done for the picture release. the bottom outer corner of one eye has a lot more smokey make-up than the same area of the other eye. the lips do look a bit smooshed on him, like those of a few of the one-offs from NY. but in profile, he is pretty cool.

      love Crystal's outfit, and wig, and face, etc.

      Barb
       
    21. I'm doomed! I am going to try to get Crystal, SwD Nono and the girl yo :D
       
    22. Amakusa reminds me of Manabu, like grown up manabu. :3
       
    23. i think im gonna try for crystal too :DIES:
       
    24. I need to find a way to get Crystal... my brain is sorting through the finances... and the odds against actually winning in the lottery. I'm going to try though - wow, she's one of the first girls I've ever wanted. ;_;
       
    25. PHEW!
      Cyrstal is not my style at all... *SO GREATFUL* :sweat my wallet couldn't take it if she turned out to be an adorable cherub faced girl rather than the mature, sexy bombshell that she is xD. Her outfit is pretty cool though, although I'd rather see it on a boy x3... and actually I'd love to see Crystal herself gender swapped into a boy dollie :D I think she'd make a fine boy too...

      But.. I'm really liking the looks of that SD13 boy... his default hair and make up don't appeal to me, but I think his mold has a lot of potential *drool* :D

      Anyways, SwD Nono is SOOOO CUTE! I've always been a big Nono fan, even in the past when I didn't used to like Volks dolls, Nono and Mimi were always the exceptions xD;;; *flail* I'm so happy to see she's so cute! I really love that outfit... :D oh, the temptation!!! I've always had her in the back of my mind but I have a strict policy about only adopting dolls that will suit my characters T_T. MUST SAVE FOR LA DOLPA!!!!
       
    26. OTL As it was I wanted Ayumu....now with those pics I really really want him ;o;
       
    27. That SwD Nono is so precious...I can't STAND it! Nono is my favorite headmold of all time, and I've always dreamed of having the sleeping one. :aheartbea
      One day, I would like to have THREE Nonos- my current girl, a Sweet Dreams version, and a snow skin version with dark hair and red lips. That's probably overkill, but I don't care! :)
       
    28. I love the SD 13 boy.... I so want him... I'll have to check here for more info
       
    29. Oh man, the history buff in me really wants Amakusa. He's from the same area I'll be teaching in. Ugh, I will so not be able to get him though. If I end up caving, I may attempt at the after event.
       
    30. Isn't she beautiful? :D I plan on having a lot of Nonos too! :) She's just such a pretty and versatile head! :aheartbea

      So excited!!! :dance

      I hope Claudia doesn't feel less special if I'm able to get Sweet Dream Nono too. :atremblin I'd hate for her to think that I'd love Sweet Dream Nono more. :( I'd love them both! :D I'm sure they'll be great friends! :chibi
       
    31. Heehee! I want tons of Nono's too! I have my Pure Skin Nono, i want a SwD Nono and I also want a FSC Nono 13. I sure wouldn't mind having a few of the ltds too. ^_^ She was my first SD and still my favorite (shhh...don't let the other girls know).

      This is exciting guys! I sure hope we can all get one. I love this girl and know so many of you do too! *big hugs*

      We must have a Nono fan club. I want little icons like the El Army icons too. Oh and maybe we can make membership cards! I love Nono!
       
    32. I hope we all get her, NabeeRain!!! *big hugs!* :D

      And we definately need a little icon! :aheartbea Maybe even buttons to wear! :) And, depending on which version we have, we could choose between regular Nono or Sweet Dream Nono on the icon! :chibi Maybe even both together! :daisy
       
    33. I'm also very, very, very doomed!!

      I love mdd Konomi and dd Estel!!!!!! Omg I just need to have BOTH!!! (or at least, at least Konomi I MUST have!!!)

      They are sooooooo lovely. Good thing Feena and Estel share the same healdmold and such similar faceup, this way I really don't feel I need both.. haha. But I have to admit, Feena's dress is the most impressive DD outfit I've seen so far!!
       
    34. Oh Cammy!

      I so happy for you and the rest of the No No lovers! Didn't I tell you during NY Dolpa you would get your No No? ;) Well, all I can say is "YES YES" Volks does make dolly dreams come true! Now cross your digits that I don't fall head over heels for any of these dolls, 'cause I still have a YoT in layaway!

      Hugs, Juli DC 8) (Got my copy!)
       
    35. crystal looks awesome~
       
    36. ;__; I lost the lottery of Dolpa makeup school... I really wanted to participate in it, whaaan :...(

      I wish everyone gets all dolls you need!!!!! :aheartbea (currently I have no wish...it's a little sad thing!)
       
    37. Im so sorry that you didnt get in, Ria Ria!

      But Im curious if youre thinking of attending the Volks Los Angeles Dolpa? Theyll have workshops there, and youre bound to get in! Plus, the classes seem to be more personal for the US customers.

       

    38. Thank you very much for your sweetness, Daniel Falls :blush
      Los Angeles Dolpa...it must be so wonderful if I could go! :chibi I need money for it and healthy body! :sweat *sickly mom*
       
    39. Oh so sorry to hear you missed out on the lottery for makeup school. Japanese dolpas have so many more participants that lotteries are hard. *Hugs* I hope you get the dolls and accessories you want.

      I also understand the sickly mom part. LA Dolpa would have been great but I cook for Thanksgiving and usually need to rest Saturday and Sunday I also usually need to take Wednesday off
       
    40. Thanks jyhhaur329 :D

      Well, there's the prices, for those wondering, in the above posted pics.

      Amakusa Shirou Tokisada: 92,400yen
      Crystal: 81,900yen
      Nono Sweet Dreams: 81,900yen
      Ayumu and Tanpopo: 35,700yen

      Also, for those who asked: Amakusa has long legs. And Crystal has a large bust.

      Interesting that Crystal is a part of the Maiden's Promise storyline..

      Also in case anyone was wondering Nono Sweet Dreams' "subname" (not sure what to call it) translates roughly as "Summer Seaside Version". (Not sure why she's wearing seifuku at the beach, but...)
       
    41. OMG they say that the SD 13 boy is at 88,000 yens or 92,400 yens (why the difference in price)
      So he's going to be... 725.62 or 761.90
      Volks USA if they have him will probably charge... mmm around 825$ for him (my estimation) so... I'm so getting him!!!
       
    42. They always have two prices listed, the first is without tax, the second is with tax. You can't buy him without tax no matter what so the second price is the correct price.

      Also the exchange rate you get online is not what VolksUSA can get so his price will be higher with them.
       

    43. Oh, thank you very much for the link :D Volks Korean site?
      Amakusa is one of members for "&#32654;&#12375;&#12365;&#23476;&#12398;&#38911;&#12365;"!

      Also, I read Crystal's story, she is Liz's big sister! So cute! :D
       
    45. Ria_ria, is this the first time for this story? I see that he has a special "logo" for this but I've never seen this story name before!
       
    46. Oh I adore those plaid outfits. Looks like black grey and white. I want both boy and girl set.
       
    47. Cassiel:
      There was another SD Boy call Ushiwakamaru for this story:)
      http://www.superdollfie.net/en/sd/limited/sd/ushiwakamaru.html
       
    48. Thank you everyone who has posted more information. I, and I am sure many others, really appreciate it. ^_^

      I just think all the dolls for this event are wonderful. The little Yo's are so cute!
      But alas, I can only afford one and I am so in love with SwD Nono I don't know what to do with my self!

      Eyes: HG Glass Eyes, Goldenrod with White Line, 20mm: I love these eyes! Golden rods are such a pretty color. Nono and Yuki can have matching eyes now.

      Wig: W-91 (Tate Roll Pigtails), 16T (Cream), SD-L size: I just adore this wig. But what I love more is the SD-L sizing. Hopefully this means a wig that will fit Nono's huge melon head perfectly! (this does bring up the question as to if her head will be as huge as standard Nono's is.)

      Body: SD girl suwarikko body, pureskin, normal skintone, UV protect, KIPS: I love Prueskin. It is my favorite tone. I also am exited about the suwarikko body and KIPS. She should pose like a dream!

      Having all these little tidbits of info is making me even more excited about this sweet girl.
       
    49. Ah, thank you. :D I figured of course that if anyone else was in the story, it would be him (since he's the only other 'period' doll they've released) but they did not use the logo for it on his promo material at all so I was confused! But now that I look at his Japanese pages I see that it is written on them, just that it's only in Japanese but without the logo. So I missed it earlier. :sweat Thank you!
       
    50. I could work for Volks XDD I was talking to a friend and I said to her that "I bet this girl will be a part of Liz/Emma's story. Liz's big sister or something". It was meant to be a joke but I guess I was right 8D;;

      SWD Nono is so cute, I really hope all those aiming for her will get her. I'm glad there are still people who love what have been deemed the "anime" molds. :3
       
    51. Well it is official after this Dolpa I will be broke!! So many pretty outfits and I want that guy! Volks is evil and good at their trade to. We are all sinking into their hands, hehe!
       
    52. Volks is amazing, I love Crystal, I will be so poor
       
    53. Does anyone know around what time we can try to get items? I need to see if i need to try to sell one of my organs, lol. ^^
       
    54. Panda sleeping bags for the Yos!!! X3

      Raven
       
    55. Thanks Juli!!! :D You were certainly right!! :) I didn't expect to get her so soon after ordering Claudia, but she's my dream doll and I must get her while I can!! :love Volks really does make dreams come true!!! :chibi

      Ciera!! :o Ciera!!!! :D She's designed by Ciera!!! :love My favorite doll and my favorite artist!!! :aheartbea That settles it! :) I'll get Sweet Dream Nono if it's the last thing I do!!! :chibi
       
    56. It's probably not a "story" per se, since Amakusa Tokisada and Ushiwakamaru are from different historical periods. Maybe "A Quiet Banquet" is their name for SD inspired by legend and history...? How cool!!!

      Edit: (Oh, and thank you so much for the translations!!! I love these releases!)
       
    57. Could someone translate Sweet Dream Nono's story for me? I'm getting antsy! :lol:
       
    58. That would make sense to me. I think that's a really cool series and I can't wait to see more from it~ There are a lot of people I'd love to see in doll form, even if they only do Japanese history, that's more than enough.
       
    59. Works for me! :D

      Sure, it's pretty short so it's easy enough. :)
