Before you get her, you should probably watch some Dollfie Dream unboxings so you know what to expect. These types of dolls are sort of "build yourself" and all the accessories do come seperate, including the wig, and you'll have to assemble them yourself. Do not expect to open the box with the doll fully clothed with the wig attached to the head. The reason for this is to avoid color transfer between the various clothing and accessories. There is also maintenance you'll want to perform regularly in order to prevent things like paint transfer once you get all her clothes and accessories on, so make sure you've educated yourself if you decide to get this doll. You're entering a whole new world of collecting with this figure, and most owners of DDs will refer to them as their "daughters" due to the amount of care and love needed to take care of them. Enjoy!
@@Gamemaster-64 it’s the material lol well physics I guess. When you have anything tied on silicone/vinyl, the elements will transfer overtime. Resin materials doesn’t have this issue in general but soft materials do. Similar to human clothes, if you get a dark cloth, you better wash it before wearing. There was a time I got new cloth, the dye transferred to my finger which is not really visible, but transferred to a semi white doll. That’s why you wanna wear gloves. Human body warmth and grease are natural mediums for color transferring.
@@Gamemaster-64 it's not paint transfer its dye transfer. These are vinyl dolls and she is in all black. You can have the best quality ever and the dye if left long enough will seep into the vinyl.
Welcome to the money pit fellow WoL!! I never thought I’d be owning one of these dollfies until my fiancé preordered 2B for me 3 years ago. Then, I fell into this hole and completely quit any other hobby but xiv to work on these dolls. Never had I imagined that I would see this day (regardless the fact that… well I had hints that this day may come before). I even told my fiancé that we probably would be all triple legend before Volks would do a xiv doll!!! Also, you can switch anything if you don’t like these dolls. I make eyes myself so the first thing I’d do is to switch out her eyes just because I sculpted those of my previous Yshtola too! So enjoy! For those who POed. Let the wait begin and may you walk in the light of the crystal!
I hear you, mate, except in my case, it's Gunpla. But other than technicalities, both are basically Plastic Crack, and we're hopeless addicts. So to my fellow plamo/model/doll addicts, here's to you Guys (and Gals)!
Welcome to the Dollfie Dream or the BJD community Meoni! I currently have 13 Dollfie Dreams (most from the Fate franchise and even NieR's 2B). Even after just 5 years of collecting them, they are still breathtaking to look at and pose for photos! I have noticed Square-Enix is slowly easing up on being stingy with their Final Fantasy IP in terms of merchandise. Never did I imagine they would team up with VOLKS again (after 2B & 9S) to make Y'shtola the first FF Dollfie Dream (to my knowledge)! This could potentially open the door for more FF collaborations not just with Volks but other well known companies (Good Smile Company for FF nendoroids). This is great for fans that wanted more figure related merchandise other than PlayArts & BringArts. That being said, its fitting that Y'shtola will be my XIVth Dollfie Dream~
The morning after the announcement, I took a look and after some thought I bit the bullet and pre ordered it. I am excited and looking forward to it. Usually I do share the sentiments that dolls tend to look creepy. But compared to others I have seen I found Y’shtola to look downright adorable. If it wasn’t for PayPal’s six month no interest I wouldn’t have gotten her.
I purchased mine too! I was already going to get another Dollfie Dream for Christmas, but after this announcement I was like welp I still want a doll and I love ffxiv so two for one🎊 it’s also great cause you can change out her head and clothes and make her a whole new doll.
Y’Shtola kinda starts with the creep factor built in. I mean she’s blind but can ‘see’ thanks to aether currents, and she can verbally flay a man alive while looking perfectly sweet. If you don’t have a healthy fear of her you might as well change your name to ‘Little Sun’
"Dollfie Dream" dolls are cast in vinyl, not resin (if she was, the cost would be double) and 1/3 scale. I've been collecting DDs for 15+ years, and looking forward to Y'shtola joining the family. The doll will come assembled, but you do need to "dress her" (wig/outfit). If you plan on having her "on display", plan on buying a doll stand for her. The price (while expensive), is standard for most of the Volks DD releases. Take care... o/
Not a big enough YShtola fan to get this, but I'm definitely a fan of Dolfie/Volks in general. One of my favourite places in Tokyo is actually their showroom store just to browse. The price seems steep but the quality of their dolls really is top tier so if you like the character/design then it's absolutely worth it.
@@ladyamberskye deff not questioning the quality. It just doesn’t really look like her from the game. Buttt I’m not familiar with Dollfie at all so maybe this slight style alteration is part of their “thing”
This is a Ball Jointed Doll. They are hand made and cast in resin. Has a huge hobby base behind these BJDs. I've had some and they are cool as hell but do a little research on them before buying. Things like you're not supposed to leave them in sunlight as it will change the resin color etc.
Very expensive but if you do get one. They are a very unique doll experience. I really suggest looking into other dolls they have made if you dont own one already to know what and why they are so expensive.
I could never justify spending 1000 on a doll, nor do i have the knowledge to take care of one properly. Looking forward to when you get it though and show us!
She looks cool, I'd certainly get one since I don't have to worry about parents that wouldn't understand, but I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and see that she has moved positions and/or locations.
People worried about her being anatomically correct like the typical Volks doll, the 2B one has Barbie anatomy despite being really busty. I don’t expect them to add those “details” for Y’shtola.
I agree that the doll is gorgeous and super well crafted, but that price is a lot. And it bothers me that the face doesn't look like Y'stola. The face shape looks like it would be Y'stola's younger sister instead. I mean, good for anyone that loves this character and has that kind of money to spend on a doll and has the space to store it properly. But jeez... I really wish Square would release more quality merch for more affordable prices.
I was on the fence on this at first, but when I realized I could cash out at profit -- why not? WHY NOT? We're going through inflation right now, buying collectibles that appreciate in value is like the best thing you can buy at the moment.
The wait for her to be made and arrive might kill me. I can't wait to add her to my vinyl doll collection. I did laugh a little when you said she's like a statue....not she's fully articulated, weapon will not be 3d printed if plastic it will be injection molded. If you have never had a doll like this you are going to lose your mind when she arrives.
So it bears only a passing similarity to Y'shtola could anyone explain why people are willing to pay $1000 for something that doesn't look like the character?
I hate it it doesn't look like Yshtola the wig looks cheap and also she's white I know exactly what they were trying to do the price is not worth it is way too expensive honestly

paint transfer? what? Why does that sound like it made cheap? Though the build yourself sounds fun.

It shouldn't be too difficult to assemble. You dress her, put her wig on like a hat (sorta) and pop the head on.
I would never thought of that! Even tho i dont want to get her, thanks for the Info! Nice when ppl with knowledge shares it :D
Anyone else see the almost 7 mins of just black at the end.
Haha, I'm sure we've all been there with editing mishaps.
I thought I was losing my mind

@@Altarahhn it’s even more satisfying if you paint them yourself 😂😂😂
@@Oyst8Y6h Well, I don't paint them, otherwise I'd *never* get through the backlog! 😂😅
I’ll just say it this shit fucking terrifying LMAO
If they were going to pick anyone, Y'Shtola makes the most sense. She is the best girl.
Titania also be a good one as well. very doll like.
Tbh her face is kinda creepy.. Other than that its cool
why is there 6 minutes of black screen at the end haha
Ngl that face doesn't look like Y'shtola's

The concept is great and i love that they chose Yshtola but i hate that the doll's face does not look like Ysthola at all. It's a pass for me
I can't wait to see people order her and then sell her on ebay for $2000usd like they do with the other limited dollfie dreams.
Some them even go up to over $10,000.
The morning after the announcement, I took a look and after some thought I bit the bullet and pre ordered it. I am excited and looking forward to it. Usually I do share the sentiments that dolls tend to look creepy. But compared to others I have seen I found Y’shtola to look downright adorable.

Nah not for me she looks weird. IMO they should have honored her in game look a bit more.
For volks its actually really good

@@Frogstoney I didn't mean quality I ment thier style. This is definitely a volks version.
asmon be like: i buy the whole stock
Looks nothing like the character.
When I saw her, my mind went blank and my wallet empty a few minutes later. She'll be perfect in my Dollfie collection next to my 2B

This is actually a dollfie dream which means she's vinyl
Still wouldn't leave anything in the sun you don't want bleaching
@@ladyamberskye oh okay
With that price, you can buy a xbox series x and a ps5 at same time. Which is more useful.
Buying a ps5 KEKW
Please do an unboxing when she arrives. I would love to see your reaction to getting her in hand and getting her set up.
Shame that the ears aren't fluffy. Otherwise really cute doll.
Her face is nightmare fuel on the doll.
£1000… 😬 sure puts things into perspective…
My PC doesn't cost $1000.
@@jamierose9095 Your PC is machine made. This doll is hand made. Big difference
@@TheMistressMisery You seen the prices on semi-conductors atm?
Very expensive but if you do get one. They are a very unique doll experience. I really suggest looking into other dolls they have made if you dont own one already to know what and why they are so expensive.
I love Dolfies already and this is just awesome!! Th eonly thing that stops me is the moths fluttering out of my wallet. XD

Too rich for my blood. 😅 But certainly beautiful! Thank you for sharing. Do let us know if you get it. 😃 Stay safe. ❤️

WONDERFUL!!!☺☺☺☺☺ PURE BEAUTY!😃😃😃
Price makes the other Statues with in-game emotes for peasants 😂
if this comes with one, that be some expensive emote.
@@Gamemaster-64 very 🥵
I certainly don't have that kind of money to spend. But if I did, I'd want it to actually look like Y'shtola, and this looks nothing like her to me.
As someone who collects bjd dolls and bjd-like dolls id buy this in a heartbeat if I had the money. Its so cool imho
It looks okay but for the $900 price tag it's not something I'm going to going by anytime soon
You know you're a gamer when you call photos of a doll "screenshots" :D
This looks nothing like her. I would not buy it
At almost $1000, it’ll remain a dream.
I agree that the doll is gorgeous and super well crafted, but that price is a lot. And it bothers me that the face doesn't look like Y'stola. The face shape looks like it would be Y'stola's younger sister instead.

That price is enough for a new PC... but that thing is freaking GORGEOUSSSS.
With GPU prices as they are... Good luck building a new PC for a thousand.
Laptop
The clothing is exceptional
Don't think it looks like her at all...
I think she looks great! Would definitely get one if I could.
I love dolls, and if I had money to spare I'd try to get one. I don't think it's creepy at all.
1000 bucks... But a 2 foot tall figurine, is really good. But no emote from the looks of it.
Honestly I look for a new doll I would like to try to make my main with it
Asmon needs to see this!
If he got one, he better damn well take care of it. Like...put it in a glass case snd regularly maintain it
The doll looks creepy but I know it's y'shtoyla
A THOUSAND DOLLARS!? GOOD LAAAAAAWD THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY!!!
Ohh the creepy doll...
I love it, not sure if worth the price, but awesome still
Told a friend that if they do this for the twins, i will give up food for a year to get them.
My god its hideous. The outfit is well made but that face. Would rather have a Calcabrina doll from Antitower. Actually, nevermind.
Looks cute🐱❤
You lucky luck cat!
A little uh... expensive :3
Not really actually. She's on par with thier vocaloids, Saber, ect dolls. Thier dolls alone are over $500 without clothes and accessories
Cool but... Price...
I was on the fence on this at first, but when I realized I could cash out at profit -- why not? WHY NOT?
We're going through inflation right now, buying collectibles that appreciate in value is like the best thing you can buy at the moment.
Bets on someone sending one to Asmongold?

I just hope nobody ordering this gets arrested. Some areas the cops just harass you for no reason when you are a man ordering dolls of that size.
They dont make Jars that big unfortunately
Super cute :3
Is it supposed to look like Y’shtola? Because if so, they failed with flying colors
Yea for $980 is nuts
hope it comes with ingame emote so people lose their shit
The price is...wow
But what can i say...its SE
It’s actually volks. Not SE really.
So it bears only a passing similarity to Y'shtola could anyone explain why people are willing to pay $1000 for something that doesn't look like the character?
I'll pass
It doesn't look like Y'stola. Not worth it imho
I like it but it doesnt look like her.
That's a real expensive doll for someone to shove in a jar and fill with "expression"
Too expensive. Nope.
Looks nothing like Y'shtola and is totally OVER priced. Very creepy looking too.. why make a character and give it an ordinary barbie looking face?
Hideous
It's looks terrible nothing like character
I hate it it doesn't look like Yshtola the wig looks cheap and also she's white I know exactly what they were trying to do the price is not worth it is way too expensive honestly
1. She is actually tan
2. Unfortunately Volks wig always need TLC
