Terrible! Its true!!!
Just got the news from DD-blog for New "Dollfie Dream Sister" 50cm body!
There should be a long list of sister-type characters to be release......omg.....
ヤバい...マジやばい....50センチのDD素体がきました！！
やってくれだねボークスよ。
Obitsu素体並べの可動性と保持力、DD素体のきれいなボディライン、
そしてボークスを持つキャラクターのライセンス....
私の天使とあずにゃんが来る時かそう遠くなさそうだな....
Wow, that's the perfect size! Not too big, yet not small at all. Though I must say, the bust size tends to be a bit disappointing. =3
I wonder how much cheaper these would be, compared to the 60cms.
I think its not much cheaper... maybe 1k ...
I wonder why this body move so great, why can DD not move so great? -.-""" ...
I must have such a body but not because of the great size .. because of the good moves!!!
Guessing a DD III body with improved joints will release in the future XD
Aya: A Normal DD body only runs around 300-ish USD for a body only set up, so I don't see why a DDS would cost 3x as much(I'm assuming you mean in a set, but DD sets are still only around 5-600 USD). If I were to take a stab at it, I would guess that it would cost the same amount as the current DDII body, despite being smaller.
Gon: Wait... Disappointing bust sizes as in it's too small for your taste? I'm one of those of the reversed opinion... I think a lot of the busts are excessively large, and actually prefer M Bust... L Bust is about as big as I want to see for a doll... At least until they put out a better sculpt...
If anything, I'd like to see some nippage on the sculpt(not L Bust or DDDy Bust types, but a little something there).
Yeap, disappointing bust size because I find it too small. I million-percent agree with you that DD-L bust is already waaaaay too huge, and Dynamite is just impossible to look at. But in my opinion, the DDsister's is just a tinee bit too small. Though honestly, I don't find it much noticeable.
As for nippage, I don't think I'd like that! XD Nippage requires you to spend twice since you still have to spend for an undergarment when you wanna conceal the pertruding nipps. Though really, it doesn't matter, because undergarments come in pairs, and you'll need the lower undergarment no matter what cause.
I think they chipped off some joint covers to improve range of movement. Although, the downside of this is you lose some of the "muscle" accuracy of a Dollfie to a real human anatomy.
That's one of the interesting bits about doll design though. The balance of greater articulation vs the lose of smoother body lines. Personally, I like a elegance of the dolls more than the articulation side, and so prefer dolls that can be displayed with fewer restrictions of how much of little they must wear to conceal the joints...
I guess with some elegant clothes designs, the mere human eye can look through the misaccuracy of the doll's joints. My only dilemma here is... wouldn't it be a bit hard to look for a 50cm-fit set of clothes?
Here it is:
It uses the same optional parts as the 60cm body - meaning it uses the same heads and hands. Putting 60cm heads into this 50cm body (similar to Moe up there) will make her look much younger than putting the head on a 60cm body. So the aim is really to loli-ize our Dollfies. XD
As for clothes, Volks are also going to release 50cm counterparts of the existing 60cm clothes. Though I do believe it's mentioned somewhere there that S-bust clothes will fit the 50cms for now.
Azone makes clothes for the Obitsu and Yamato 50cm girls. Those will probably fit her well.
SD 10 and SD13 items should fit a 50cm doll just fine as well. I highly doubt volks will make a DDS specific line of clothes though, nor would they remake 60cm items to try to fit 50cm dolls. Honestly, unless you replace the bust parts for some very oversized pieces, most S/M Bust items for DDII bodys should fit the DDS. The only things I would worry about being length of longer dresses/pants meant for 60cm dolls being used for a 50cm.
Saw some chattering about DDS in Twitter and immediately went over to DD-Blog, sure enough, DDS = 50cm body!
Its great that DD and DDS share common hand parts!!!
Volks help us save money, say thank you to Volks XD
Is this a standard release item now? Or made for limited edition releases only? I think this is an awesome new release XD
Also, I do wonder if something else is coming out of them showing the Moe/Natsuki headmold blank...
It would be nice if Moe/Natsuki was released as DDH-05.
I would love if they did that XD Heck, I think everyone would.
Maybe release during "DD gathering" at October..
any release date for these?
no, not yet announced
Now, that's much better articulation. Is 50 cm really considered short? Must be a perspective thing, as to me, I already consider 1/6 Scale huge.
normal DDII types are considered 60cm, so you are looking at around 16-17% height difference... If you pretend the normal DDII types to be standing at around 170cm(5'8"), a 50 would sit around 140cm(4'8"). I would say that would be considered pretty damn short...
quick revise... 55 vs 50, not 60... oops... the compairo would be 170 vs 155. Not a huge jump, but still half a foot if you compair that to 1:1 scale...
At 152 cm, I can identify with this shorter height.
Well, more intuitive articulation at least. DD2s and DDDys can actually bend their arms that far, but because of the way the "secret" joint is designed you have to essentially dislocate the elbow before bending it. A lot of people actually went for years before finding out that their DD2s could do that!
I'll definitely be getting one of these soon for Moe / Yui.
That's if they don't release ultra-cute special 50cm characters before then XD
I also want to get it for Louise, but better start saving some money for new dollfies....
want to get one for my frozen Haruhi too XD
MDD and DD selling the same price for 20k
So I guess this new body will be the same too...
this is awesome! I want to get one too ^o^
I am expecting Nakano Azusa, Tachibana Kanate, Little Fate & Nanoha, Lucy Maria Misona, Shana, Taiga, etc etc etc.....(;ﾟ∀ﾟ)
Now the articulations finally perfected!
Great piece of news. Not only for the possibilities the size open up, but redesigned skeleton / joints as well.
Hopefully that means that there will eventually be a DDIII body and maybe even a redesigned DDdy body are somewhere down the pipeline.
Ugh want one for taiga ^^; wonder if neck will look weird on DDH01 mold tho
Is that Moe?
I want Moe so bad ;^;
Waaant <3 Might get this for my first daughter.~ If it comes out soon enough.
nice !! nice timing!! just about to get my 1st daughter!! can't wait to see wats gonna be released in the next dolpa!!
mmmh interesting. Was thinking about adopting a daugther too, so a DDS could be a nice first one ^^
HA!!! Now Volks is playing "catch-up" to Obitsu!!! They've had their "little sister" 50cm body for a while now!!!!
My question: does she have a continuous skeleton, or is this a bigger version of the MDD with its semi-skeleton???
This is rich!!! Ha ha ha...
I hope it hasent a MDD sceleton X_X it has so bad joints -.-" ... hope its a better DD sceleton ^^
It's definitely the DD's skeleton as it shares hands/feet. ^^ It seems like a whole new skeleton without the issues of DD2 and MDD.
Umm...that doesn't mean it has a full skeleton. You can mickey-mouse DD2 hands onto an MDD.
Yeah that's true but then again it's not 100% clear either. ^_^; Either way I hope it is a new skeleton not recycled.
Oh dear, there goes wishlist space for the rest of the year. XD I wonder what the price bracket will be.
Wow! Amazing^^
Good news, but also bad news XD
Amazing! but why 50cm X_X
The industry standard for BJDs is 50cm. with larger doll sculpts represending more mature characters. For volks, they've made 55-60 the range for dolls that are suppose to be late teens/more mature types. They don't currently make larger dolls than that, but it's probably just natural progression to create a line of dolls that are a different style, while reflecting their SD ranges.
Personally, I think you guys should probably not be jumping the gun on the whole "Volks is finally making a 50cm doll" gun. Technically, Volks started by making 50cm dolls anyway(SD10s fall under this range), it's just that with the DD line, they started at the SD13-SD16 range and went for 60cm(or was that 55?).
I get the feeling that those who want the articulation for their DDII/DDDys, you could probably sub the arms from a DDS onto the older frame dolls. but unless you feel the DDII frame is entirely insufficient in articulation, it probably isn't worth it...
Awesome! I've been wondering if Volks would do something like this to take Obitsu head on. I think they should have waited on releasing Louise until they had this body though, it would have been perfect for her. ^^; I look forward to seeing more about it!
pretty good & much better than OB50cm body~!
Many beautiful 50cm clothing might be release from now on. X(
This is interesting. At 50cm if they can fit existing DDII outfits it'll be perfect for 'little sister' characters. (No doubt where the official name comes from too.) Could use one for Shizuko. ^^
I think in the volk's dollfie blog link, they state that DDS can pretty much wear the same clohes as DDII, although unless they make an L bust for DDS(and I hope they don't... we really don't need L busts for our tinier dolls... Dreading the possibility of them releasing a yo-sized DD, and it comes with an option to swap in a Dy Bust...), I'd guess that it'd be for S/M Busts. Alternately, SD and SD13 clothes should fit them too.
I want one for Alice and one for Alita ^^ *nice*
I am in LOVE with the superior articulation of this doll.
However, I am not exactly fond of anything under 60cm. I just love my huge dollies. I want to see a comparison of how much the height difference is. I hope that they make a DD3 and improve DDDy. I also admit I think the chunkiness of the DDDy is my favorite...
Oops well.. I guess DD is 58cm or so.. but it's still close to 60cm! xP
Great news, I want one of those bodies. I expecially like how the elbow joint works :)
this's time for refill money in the bag >,</
ah! maybe this wud be the right time for me to adopt one as well '_____'
I want!! I'm tired of the MDD issues as well, hopefully this one's free of problems :D
but I would like a smaller bust O3O
My MDD Louise always have her arm falling off. she also can't stand without a doll stand....
Same exact issue here! Her left arm and terrible knees @3@
Well looks like we'll be getting a Imouto for all our daughters ._.
is that the moe sculpt head as a standard custom head now?.. i like this body ... would consider buying atleast 2 of these bodies
I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Moe/Natsuki (they used same sculpt for both) get put out as DDH-05.
Would love to change Saber to use DDS body.
Same thoughts here, but 50cm body can't be armored...
I hope this comes out soon. The articulation will make posing more fun and I happen to have a head that needs a body.
なぜ50センチなのか不思議でしたが、あずにゃん対策か～。「ナゾ解明！」
なんて。本当にあずにゃんが発表されたらボークスの本気がうかがえます。
So cute!
I keep seeing post like this... but does anyone have any idea when they will be releasing it? I know they're coming out with a character doll in February...
Oh, plus, I'm already saving for it! But serious, any speculations about the release date..? O_o
I think obit 50 cm can make old ready make those poses
does anyone know the release date yet?
I made a promise to myself that once they make the DDS bodies available I'm going too get my first musume <3
