We also have information about the body type they will be using, and no one should be surprised that it is the DDIII! Saber Alter will have an M bust, but Extra will have an L, making her the first of 4 Sabers to be busty! Saber Alter is also using the original Saber headmold, though no word if she will have updated faceup.

The other day we showed you that Dollfie Dream III Moe was going up for international orders and now, a lucky few in Japan already seem to have gotten their Moes and opened them up, revealing some new teasers as well! In the Official Dollfie Dream Handbook that recently came out, there were quite a few new teasers.

There’s not much else given besides short bios on them and that Mariko likes anime and cosplay and Nanami likes music and the guitar and there’s no word yet on whether or not these will be Dollfie Dream Sisters or Dollfie Dream IIIs.
Also at the back of the pamphlet was a series of images with the Fate Hollow Ataraxia logo and Fate Unlimited Codes logo with a picture of Saber Extra’s sword on the next page and a message of, “to be continued.” Considering the vast success of the three Saber Dollfies so far, it’s been safe to assume that Volks would be making a Dollfie of Saber in this outfit as well, especially since she’s so different in character — *SPOILER* she’s Nero instead of King Arthur! *END SPOILER* This is great news since Saber Extra’s outfit and weapon are so unique and interesting and I really can’t wait to see what Volks does with her.
Are any of you readers thinking of picking any of these up or are you not excited for any of these new announcements?
