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.

    1. Hi everyone!! :) As part of Volks' Summer Fair, they've made lots of changes to FCS! :D I'll post them in just a sec. :daisy

    2. I hope Cassiel doesn't mind me posting this from the news thread. :)

    3. I don't mind. :D

      I'm quite excited to see the heads that have become Sumika available now, particularly MSD F-06! The "mini Anais" is such a popular head, I know a ton of people will be cheering to see it more easily available. :) Also it's great to see SD F-13 and F-28 more easily available, too! I was betting on F-26 and F-28 as the new Sumika heads.. so I'm kinda bummed F-26 didn't make it (I love that head!) but maybe next time. ;)

      I'm not surprised about MSD F-03 and F-12, and SD F-04 going Sato only as I don't think any of these heads are hugely popular anyway! Not that they aren't all interesting heads, but...

      I'm very interested in the simplification of the makeup choices! I know that 'Natural' was very popular with Y!JA scalpers... :sweat I'm actually wondering if perhaps Volks saw that only scalpers/shopping services chose Natural and/or Urban? And that it's not really in keeping with their concept of 'create your dream doll' anyway? I'm only theorizing, of course, but.. :sweat

      I'm glad the wigs have become Sumika available (although I had thought them so already, oops) -- I just wish W-119D was more available than just FCS! I'm in love with that wig. :aheartbea

      And it's great news about the KIPS, since many people would want it standard anyway and don't want to have to do it after they've got their doll, and furthermore do it themselves. :sweat

      All up, YAY for Volks. *hee*

    4. I'm so happy that F-13 is a Sumika head now!!! :D As soon as I found out that they would be sumika-ing some of the sato-only heads, I just kept praying "13! 13! 13!" :eusa_pray It's just so cute! :chibi I'll be able to get my F-13 girl now! :aheartbea

      MSD F-06 (aka "mini Anais") has begun to grow on me. At first I didn't like it very much, but after seeing it with so many different faceups, I realized just how pretty it could be. :daisy I'm so glad it's been added to the sumika heads! And F-18!!! :D Hold me back!!! I simply must have a cute little F-18 girl! :chibi

      I'm kind of sad about F-12 becoming a sato head though. I was hoping to get a cute little robot girl eventually. :( But at least she's still available! :thumbup I would have been upset if they have cut her out completely!

      The new makeup system makes a lot of sense. Since you can give as much or as little detail as you want for order makeup, you can still just say "a natural look" or "a gothic look". But it encourages you to really think about what your ideal doll would look like. Good point about scalpers, Cassiel! :thumbup I never would have thought of that!

      KIPS disks! I had a feeling they'd add them to FCS soon, especially since Tenshi no Sato's doll doctor will put them into your doll for a fee. :)

      Over all: YAY!!! :D

    5. Ack!!! not the F-12!! :...(

      It kinda makes up for it with the F-28(mad love for that mold, DAMN is it hot in sunlight!!!), but... Why'd they have to "demote" any at all? ;_;

    6. Thanks for posting this info! Thankfully this doesn't interfere with any of my FCS plans next weekend! :D

    7. Admitedly, I was going to get both my future FCS kids with "Natural" faceups, so they aren't face-naked when I get them, but I guess I'll just get them with either no faceup, or I'll tell my friend to order them with a "Natural" looking faceup. ^^;

    9. ok er does "sukima" mean they can be ordered from the LA store?
      i know sato means japan only but sukima confuses me. ((volks lingo n00b -.-))
       
      #9 metalheadneko, Jul 14, 2007
    10. "Sato" is the Volks store in Kyoto; "Sumika" are the other ones (so yes, LA qualifies ;))

    11. thanks ^_^

    12. F-18 F-18!! noo this means an even bigger wallet-deficit.. :(
      but F-18 is too cute! if they had released her at LA Sumika sooner, I probly would've gotten her instead of a F-17 SD13B.. > <

    13. F-18? Oh god. I'm doomed. ;o;
       
      #13 Shen Xia, Jul 14, 2007
    14. :O I'm so glad I ordered my F03 when I did!

      I still hope that they'll make the MSD F08 or MSD F10 part of the standard sumika FCS line up someday.
       
      #14 Kaighn, Jul 14, 2007
    15. Oh no! Now how am I supposed to resist F-18! Haha this is quite awesome actually.
       
      #15 chiquitita, Jul 14, 2007
    16. Omg :D~!!! How cool!! I think their choices for sumika-fying 06 and 18 msd are gonna make a lot of people very happy. Even if I might not ever be able to order them... it's cool to know they're available ^^.

      And you know o.o I've never paid much attention to f28 but he's... cuuute @A@~~!!!

    17. Woo pretty safe SD wise but now that MSD F-06 and F-18 is Sumika I'm kinda doomed ;~; My two favorite FCS MSD molds. AUGH volks e_e

    18. Still dreaming of a day when Yo will be in the FCS system.

      A girl can dream, right? :aheartbea
       
      #18 gothiclibrarian, Jul 14, 2007
    19. I've been dreaming of an F-28 for my whole life :D

      And F-06! I'm a fan :aheartbea
       
      #19 Kallisti, Jul 14, 2007
    20. Oooo, MSD F-18 is being added! That makes it even more tempting, I love that mold! It must be pretty popular, it was added to the Sumikas so fast. *_*

      But its hard to get too excited, since the LA Sumika doesn't seem to be included with all the others. :( Or at least it wasn't when the F-17 was added to the Sumikas, but you couldn't order it at the LA Sumika until much later.
