More Shinsengumi Era from Volks

 The first pictures of the doll releases for the next Dolpa 29 are already around the internet!

After being able to resist the temptation of the SDGou Claude 'the Beast' from the Osaka HT Dolpa a couple of weeks ago, Volks has finally got me by releasing more of their Shinsengumi Era themed dolls. This time they are no other than SD17 Sakamoto Ryoma himself, and SD16 Narasaki Ryo, going away from the Shinsengumi team and making more historical characters from the same era. I am glad I have resisted the Beast and saved some funds for Ryoma - definitely getting him either through a US release or through the Japanese Int. After Event!

He should be a great gift-to-self after finishing all job applications and one animation for a class. Definitely, definitely going after him even if it means Yahoo!Japan. Ryo is also tempting, but let's see how it goes.

With the two big dolls also come YoSDs Piccolo and Ann in a 2nd face-up version, and two new Dolfie Dreams - Asuna from SAO and Alice from Witch of Holy Night.

I still feel a little sorry for not going after the Beast... but Sakamoto should definitely be worth it!
