In Volks New 50, it was unveiled that we’d be getting a new lineup of standard model Dollfie Dreams–cheaper, and readily available dolls, though they come with less in the way of clothing and accessories. In fact, all they get is a slip! Volks has already previewed MDD Rena, and now it’s time for the other two. Mayu is a DDH-04 on a DDS body, which is nice since the DDS seems to be quite hard to acquire. Usually I dislike the 04 (it’s my least favorite of the standard heads) but Mayu is just so cute! I even like her stock eyes & wig.
Then we’ve got Miko, a DDH-06 on a Dynamite body. It’s a cute combination, and the 06 is really a gorgeous head. I actually really like her stock wig: the purple is an interesting color choice! Miko will retail for ¥44,000 while Mayu will be slightly less at ¥42,000–apparently, those boobs cost ¥2,000! Both will be initially released at the DD Gathering in October, though of course they will be available online afterwards (and not as a lottery item!).

Well, outfits, but it’s still rather funny to see Volks doing color swaps on clothing. As revealed <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/volks-news-50-features-xenosaga-standard-dollfies-more" target="_blank">in Volks News 50</a>, they’ll be doing new colorways of some of their most popular outfits from the past few years. This is really a blessing, since the aftermarket pricing on Volks outfits is insane, especially given their already-steep asking price. I actually really like all of these outfits, though I doubt I’ll be able to get them all: thought between the international event and the US release, you can at least spread out your purchases!</p> <p>These outfits will be at the DD Gathering 2012 on October 20th along with the new standard model Dollfies <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/volks-shows-off-their-mdd-rena" target="_blank">Rena</a>, <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/drool-over-standard-model-dollfie-dreams-mayu-miko" target="_blank">Mayu & Miko</a>. Every time I see Mayu I like her more and more: she looks so adorable in that grey outfit! I also really like the wig they picked for Saber Extra (as well as the outfit she’s modeling!). Speaking of Sabers, Stephen and I FINALLY got our <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/volks-type-moon-pre-order-project-starts" target="_blank">Extra & Alter</a> this afternoon after an 11 month wait. Let’s hope the Xenosaga pre-orders don’t take that long…</p> <p>[via the DD Blog <a href="http://ameblo.jp/blog-dd/entry-11358127085.html?frm_src=thumb_module" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://ameblo.jp']);" target="_blank">1</a>, <a href="http://ameblo.jp/blog-dd/entry-11358845055.html" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://ameblo.jp']);" target="_blank">2</a>]</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/DDGathering2012RecolorsHeader.jpg "Volks Hops On The Recolor Train For The Dollfie Dream Gathering 2012")

There were also a few surprises, as there always are, like some excellent re-releases and a rather odd alternate color.</p> <p>This week seemed to be ruled by Vocaloids and <em>Strike Witches</em>, with 3 figures from each a piece. There were also two girls from the Shining series, but it seems like we always get a few of them! Surprisingly absent was <em>Touhou Project</em>: I’m used to Griffon putting up at least one figure a week, but this time we got none! We also got figures from <em>ToHeart2</em>, <em>Nyanpire</em>, and a few American titles, so hit the jump to check them all out!</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/PVCRoundup10-28-11Header.jpg "PVC Pre-Order Roundup: 10/23~10/27")
