It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.Dismiss Notice

Rei-Tenshi
ReiTenshi are a special type of Volks Tenshi that are not available to be sold anywhere. Rather, Volks gives them away at events as a special prize for event-goers, usually via lottery or bingo, so that the recipients are chosen entirely at random.
Sculpture
They are a small Tenshi, coming in at around 10cm in size. They are only moderately poseable, having joints in their shoulders and hips only (no knee or elbow joints) and some of them have quite stylised poses. Some have their arms affixed in certain poses, while others have their legs entirely curled up. Only a few have ankle joints.
Like SeiTenshi, they have resin wings which are permanently attached and which come in a variety of colours including white and pink; however ReiTenshi wings are actually posable. Most ReiTenshi have different faces; there are a variety of headmolds available.
Because of ReiTenshi's lack of jointing, they would not meet the current criteria of on-topic on DoA. However, the ReiTenshi is grandfathered in and ca be posted on DoA.
Releases
The first ReiTenshi were released at Volks' SD Owners Thanksgiving Tour in Huis Ten Bosch, and were given away as a part of the lottery drawing held at the end of the event. Since then ReiTenshi have also been given away at each successive Dolpa, including NY Dolpa 2 (where a total of 10 were given away, the most ever so far) and it appears they will become a regular giveaway at Volks events along with SeiTenshi.
It is very rare to come across a ReiTenshi on the 2ndhand market as Volks gives them away as special gifts and frowns upon reselling them, and most owners believe it an honour to receive one and will not part with it.
