Volks is taking made-to-order pre-orders on two Dollfie Dream dolls drawn from the NieR series, with the window closing on November 29, 2026. The pair are "Dollfie Dream Dynamite 2B (YoRHa No.2 Type B) 2.0," based on NieR:Automata, and "Dollfie Dream Dynamite Kaine," based on NieR Replicant ver.1.22474487139.... Each doll costs 110,000 yen including tax and is scheduled to ship in autumn 2027. Both use the DDdy Base Body 2.0 (DD-f3) in semi-white skin, with 18mm resin eyes and original-style DD-size wigs. The 2B doll reworks its overall balance and head size for the new body, revises costume details, and adds a newly sculpted Virtuous Contract sword. The Kaine doll carries dual saw-toothed swords and a hair ornament of the Lunar Tear flower. Orders are handled through the Dollfie Online Store, Volks stores nationwide, and overseas DD Friend Shops, with some stores excluded.
