1. 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.

  • Face-up artist(s):
    Volks
    Date of acquisition:
    February 2017
    Provenance:
    secondhand on DoA; head from Ara, body from +qu'hier
    Reason for choice:
    I wanted a Volks doll to see what all the fuss was about, and I liked his little smirk.
    Best Points:
    His expression! On the SDGr body, I really like being able to swap the hands and feet without tools.
    Worst Points:
    He was designed for an SD17 body and it was just TOOO heavy
    Ryoma was my first big BJD purchase (Fubuki was an affordable 'starter' and Kazu was a gift). I had fun with him, but the more I got to enjoying my MSDs and Dollfie Dreams, the more I began to feel exhausted wrangling his big heavy 70cm body. So I stuck him on a Graffiti body! It looks a little undersized when he's naked, but he always wears kimono, so it's fine ^^; The availability of alternate hands is important to me. It makes him look younger, I think it's very cute!

    His head's gotten rather yellow over the years, so I'm looking forward to bringing him in for satogaeri the next time I'm in Japan.
