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.

    3. Oooh, I think I might know who she is; I remember someone mentioning that they hoped for a doll from Make a Wish.

      That's amazing that Volks helped to make her dream come true. They're really good people, aren't they?

      Yay, Sarah!!!

    6. From what I've heard from English-speakers who move to Japan, Japanese people love trying out their English skills on native-speakers.

      I hope she has the best time!

      I admit, the English translations often make me smile, not because I am laughing at someone else's English, but because of the charming way they put things.

    10. I love Make-A-Wish. My cousin got her Make-A-Wish wish a few years ago and she still glows every time she remembers it, and it's been the brightest point in her life for a while. They're absolutely wonderful.

      Sarah, if you see this, I hope your wish was as wonderful as you imagined it.

    12. It's me! Thank you all so much for the warm wishes!

      Iam here in an internet cafe in Kyoto. Yesterday was the Dollpa and the day before I got to visit Tenshi No Sato!

      Volks was so wonderful. I thought we were going to look around like any other visitor. When we got to the entrance, there was a sign with my name on it! MIKEY gave me a tour around Tenshi no Sato. The President was with us too! He was so nice to me and very charismatic even though he did not speak english. MIKEY said he is the godfather, he gets to name all of the dolls. She said he makes many of them up! I told Mikey that I had heard Aimee had gone there and she says she remembers taking you out to dinner well!

      Tenshi no Sato is so beautiful.Ihope some day you all get to go. I got to see their fat koi outside! MIKEY says her parents feed them a lot so they are fat. Just then Mr. President went over to feed them more. I got to meet his wife,and her mother. She was very quiet. But MIKEY and Mr. President agreed, she was the boss! And, the very sweetest part, they allowed me to pick out a doll from FCS! Never in my wildest dreams had I imagined that would happen.I am so excited.But thats not the end. The president drove us back to our hotel himself! He has a mercedes.

      The next day was Dollpa Nagoya. Shino-san, MIKEY‘s sister,met us outside. She looks a lot like MIKEY! Although she denies it. On the train Volks had texted our guide from M-A-W and asked if we wanted to buy a festival doll. My mom agreed that we could buy Toppi. She is such a cutie! But when We got there, Mr. President said he would buy her for me! We tried to protest but he was so insistent. He said to spend our money buying clothing. So we did! Everyone was sooo nice. Many gave me photos of their dolls. I Will have to make a photo album of them.

      This trip was probably one of the best, if not the best experience of my life.

      Toppi says hi to all of you!

      Thank you again!!

    18. Sarah, I can't speak for anyone else, but I so look forward to your photo story of your trip! I am so glad you and your mom had such a lovely time, and it is so wonderful to read another account of how wonderful Volks is. You have to tell us all of the details about your FCS doll, and just everything. I had read about your visit back on the Japan Volks site, and thought it was great how they were looking forward to your visit. What a special present!

      This all just make me :grin:

      (And I hope you took pictures of the fat koi :lol: I love koi; so cute. Wah. <3)
