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.

    2. * What did you order?
      SD Megu (2010 renewal ver.), extra elastic, eye putty, thinner, mini zippers, and varying grades of sandpaper.
      * When did you order?
      October 27, 2012
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      It's a bit high but considering that I'm getting an SD with face-up, wig, eyes and a simple outfit it'd say it's not bad.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      no, even better!! those photos don't do her justice at all, she's so much cuter in person!
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      yes!!
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      Positives: not much wait time, amazing quality, doll comes with a lot, doll is nicely strung, seam lines aren't too noticeable.
      Negatives: company photos don't show how cute she really is, the sliding box is kind of hard to open, eyes come hot glued in head, she's a bit on the more expensive side.
      * Would you buy more from this company?
      yes definitely!

    6. * What did you order?
      Dollfie Dream Hatsune Miku
      * When did you order?
      July 5, 2015
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      I'm not sure. I think VOLKS dolls are extremely overpriced. However, I think the price was well within the norm, for VOLKS.
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes. The item is nearly identical to the sales pictures.
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes.
      * Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      I love the faceup on Miku, and I think VOLKS did an amazing job with designing her. However, her wig is incredibly hard to put on. It also tangles and frizzes up like nobodies business. I'm not a huge fan of the wobbly vinyl joints, as opposed to tightly strung resin dolls.
      * Would you buy more from this company?
      Maybe.

    8. * What did you order?
      Dollfie Dream Mirai Standard Edition
      * When did you order?
      December 3rd.
      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Rather pricey, but honestly, all BJDs are, and the quality is absolutely amazing, so it was definitely worth it nonetheless!
      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Definitely! If anything, though, it looked even better. The wig in particular is a much lovelier color in person.
      * Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes, definitely! My doll is gorgeous. I couldn't be happier. She's my first BJD, too. :)
      The overall detail is wonderful. Her default eyes are a gorgeous shiny purple-blue gradient. Even her default slip dress is incredibly detailed with its intricate lace and frills. It's really amazing.
      * Would you buy more from this company?
      Definitely! I plan to.

      W-004N-613 / Ivory

      W-117N-M33/12 / Rich Brown

      W-155N-CHBR / Charcoal Brown

      W-166-60 / Pearl Silver

      W-190C-M33/12 / Rich Brown

      * When did you order?

      1/23/2022

      * Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?

      Honestly? Not really. I don't like any of the wigs. The front of the Pearl Silver wig doesn't look good, and the YOSD size wig is very messy out of the box. I'm not enthused about the long brown MSD size wig either. I'm kind of disappointed that these cost so much yet didn't live up to my expectation of Volks products.

      * Did the item look like the sales pictures?

      Everything but the YOSD wig looks spot on, just messier. The YOSD wig doesn't look anything like the pictures really.

      * Were you satisfied with the product?

      Not particularly. I probably won't buy wigs from Volks again.

      * Would you buy more from this company?

      Wigs, no. I'm still on the fence about clothes. I love the dolls though.

    17. What did you order?
      Standard SD10 Nico with full satogaeri sanding service, KIPS sheet, pastels and acrylic paints
      When did you order?
      27/07/23
      Was the quality appropriate for the price, in your opinion?
      Yes – the sanding is very smooth, her faceup is very detailed and all my items were packaged securely. Volks sent everything via DHL, so once things were posted, they arrived within 3 days (though I am in Australia, which is relatively not too far from Japan)
      Did the item look like the sales pictures?
      Yes, though I didn't realise exactly how long her wig would be!
      Were you satisfied with the product?
      Yes. Now I just have to wait for my practice head to get here so I can try out faceups
      Tell us some of the positives and negatives about this product (optional)
      Satogaeru service takes 2 months, as the website says, which might be harder for people who want a doll straight away, but it is worth is in my opinion. My Nico is also one-piece torso, which I know some people don't prefer
      Would you buy more from this company?
      Absolutely – I already have another order. Everything was good quality, arrived safe and was packaged safely
