Dollfie Dream

Dollfie Dream, often referred to as Dollfie Dolls is a brand name of a type of fashion Dolls by Volks that are designed for easy customization. 
==About==
The Dollie Dream dolls are designed to be fully customizable, body parts, hairstyles (wigs) and other outfits can be swapped at will. 
When producing dolls based on characters for example, they will always have a unique mold for each face. Additionally, there are blank body parts for self customization and even the commercialized models have body parts that are close to the characters own design. For example the "Dollfie Dream Sister", can be customized to be either male (such as "Boy Type") or female (such as "SS Bust") and have body mold for both sexes, with the females generally having a number of different body shapes compared to the males, such as bigger breasts or flatter chests. As a may not be able to wear each other's outfits at all despite all being "Dollfie Dream Sister" dolls. This is unlike the Pullip dolls who can more easily share clothing. 
 
When based on characters, a main doll of the character will be released. Any further outfits for the character are often released separately. The intention is so that you can re-use the same doll and swap out the eyes, wig, hands, etc and re-use the same doll, changing the appearance without having to buy a second version of the doll. While this cheapens the price of expanding a collection, since you do not re-buy the same doll each time, the limitation is only a single outfit can ever be on display unless further versions of original doll are purchased. Some Dollfie models can swap clothes and are compatible such as the DD type being compatible with the DDS models, though it is not guaranteed that everything will fit on these compatible models. 
The dolls are made of vinyl and for this reason, some care is needed to maintain and look after them, as dyes from their own clothes and wigs often rubs off on the dolls themselves. Cotton gloves are usually advised to be worn when handling them and special tape is often for sale that can as a barrier for the doll against the transfer of dye from clothes, though there is also a protective "skin" is also sold, which co-functions to hide joints. The dolls are also are intended for display purposes only and may not be able to withstand a great deal of handling without wear and tear. Posing them may require some gentle movements or risk breaking them, though they are not too fragile. The dolls come in several parts with an internal skeleton of which the outer body parts sit upon, this internal skeleton gives the figures their articulation and ability to be posed. The models are quite complication to assemble at times as the internal skeleton has screws and comes in pieces which require assembly. The only part which requires glue is the eyes as they are stuck into place inside the head piece using a glue gun and may have some difficulty being removed afterwards if they wished to be changed. 
===Crypton Future Media promotion===
From 2013, a number of VOCALOID related products were sold based on the Crypton Future Media, Inc. VOCALOIDs. The following page lists products and items related to VOCALOID. All Dolls were sold as limited runs, which means only a certain amount were produced of each and were available only while stocks lasted. Despite this, outfits would be produced for models even when the dolls themselves were sold out.
==Dollfie Dream==
The main Dollfie Dolls, and which the brand is named after, is the "Dollfie Dream" or "DD" line. The doll line has been improved over time to increase articulation and quality. They stand approx. 60 cm tall. 
===Hatsune Miku===

Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku Reboot Doll.jpg|The released version with the "f3" (f-cube) body type.
This Hatsune Miku doll was set for resale owed to popular demand. The newer model used the new body "DD-f3" (DDベースボディ (DD-f³), F-Cubed).http://www.mikumiku2ch.jp/archives/54994147.html 
The body is the same shape as the previous model and all clothes will fit the F3 version. It has 5 major body parts that can be swapped externally and 11 points of internal articulation. This allows for greater amount of posing compared to the previous versions of the doll. For example there is now an extra join in the diaphragm area of the internal frame, allowing the chest to be posed in directions not allowed before. In addition to all past outfits fitting the newer model, all accessories such as the hand jesters, bag and skin tight leotard fit this new model.
;Outfits
While any outfit for the DD line that uses the "SS Bust" body type will fit, these outfits are specifically designed to match the Miku Doll.
Due to the popularity of the Hatsune Miku doll, for a period of time it was often used to model DD line outfits unrelated to Hatsune Miku.
Beware due to the bust difference, Megurine Luka's outfits may not fit Hatsune Miku, and vice versa Miku's may not fit Luka.
These outfits are designed based on popular songs starring Hatsune Miku.
