Dollfie Dream Lucy was released only about a year ago, but it was recently announced that she was getting a second release–the Magical Princess version! While this might seem like an odd choice compared to other more popular dolls they could re-release (Yuki, Rina, Sasara, Tamaki…) I do adore my Lucy so I am happy to see a new getup for her.

Last week we got a sneak peek at the guidebook for Hometown Dolpa Kyoto 9, and two new Dollfies were unveiled–Lucy Misora and Haruka Niimi! The pictures were really blurry though, so most collectors were waiting for Volks’ official pictures to decide whether or not they wanted to splurge on a new doll.

She’s on a DDdy, and I simply love her eyes and face sculpt. This is actually the new DDdy, which is an upgraded body that will have joints similar to the DDS and DDIII.</p> <p>Both of these girls have a rather sad or at least shy expression, which is really my cup of tea–while they don’t seem that popular among collectors in general, I have quite a few similar girls in my collection!
