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. It's a Volks news file, you get it by being a customer at their Japanese physical stores, as far as I know. Or it might be if you're a VS member, I think I've done both so I don't know for sure which it is :sweat either way, it's not something Volks sells on its own, they only sell Dolpa files (your ticket into the Dolpa) and all the photos are in black and white and printed on not-as-nice paper as the news files.

    2. You can buy the Volks News in store, though I don't think they're currently available online or anything, they are after all written in Japanese. You get sent them free in the mail if you're a member of any of their groups though. They come out whenever there is a big event on, and since the last couple of Dolpas, and the 'main' pictures of the limiteds and items are all in there rather then the dolpa booklet. Before that, there were nice pictures in the Dolpa book too. There's other stuff in the News though, things about other Volks items such as their kits and dolfies etc.

    6. I know this is most likely off topic, but when will these two be realeased (at SATO only I'm assuming)? I want Yugiri REALLY bad...

    8. These two will be released for the Sato 3rd Anniversary event on March 17th-21st, I assume they will sell out on the first day. You can find info about the event here, but in Japanese:
      http://www.volks.co.jp/jp/volks/tenshinosato/3syuunen.html
      I translated Yugiri and Mamu's information here:
      http://www.crysania.com/angels/volks/tenshi/yugiri.php
      http://www.crysania.com/angels/volks/tenshi/mamu.php

      Yugiri is a SeiRei type like Sakaki but is based on the SD13 girl body instead of the SD13 boy body. So her (its?) body is a totally new type. :) It is the same size basically as the SD13 girl body but is of course asexual, and also has a smaller bust than even the smallest SD13 girl bust size. Oh, and she has original hands. I'm very excited about her release. :D

      You should be able to get her on Y!JA once she comes out?

      Oh in addition, and to be a bit more on topic, all the new Hometown Osaka 3 dolls have their faces coated with UV Protect coating instead of normal coating. (As do the new Sato anniversary dolls.) This is a first for Volks and an upgrade from them previously just coating them normally. :) Okay, so maybe it's only a little thing, but I like to keep up with this sort of info!

    9. This may sound silly, but does anyone know what Mamu means in english? I know Yugiri is "evening mist", but I'm lost on Mamu. :sweat

    14. No, it is a first come first serve. You must register before hand with the Volks website as well.
