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.

      I am seriously in love, too!
      I hope to take the class and get my paws on the dreamy sch.A if I am able to attend the tour!
      I never fancied sleeping heads larger than yo-sd, but this mold is just so beautiful!

    5. OK.
      So I talked to VolksUSA. They had no information about the tour (but of course were still very pleasent and helpful). Volks imos replied saying they allowed only Japan residence. When I asked about the Korean residents, they said it was because Korean flight is less expensive to Japan, and that from America it is too expensive, so not many will afford it.
      They said since I went to Volks NY event, I should understand. @_@
      But maybe in the future they might hold an international tour where everyone can attend.
      The worst news, the deadline to apply for the tour is Dec 20th japan time.
      There goes my dreams... *sigh*
      I am praying for a glimmer of hope, since VolksUSA said they would find out more for me, but at this point, I just dont think it will happen. :(
      So, no Toppi for me and ria_ria, no sch.a sleeping prince, no dream fulfillment of traveling and visiting the place of my dreams.
      Excuse me while I go cry! :(

    6. I think the language barrier would just be too much of a pain for them to deal with Americans this time around. Maybe next time! I am glad I have no chance to go; I was gathering funds and going to make it happen when I can't really afford to do so!

    7. Dear Jen:daisy

      Don't give up~! I heard what I wrote on the first post. The limit is tomorrow, but I think Volks will accept new orders willingly. (Because it seems really difficult to gather over 400 people. Many Japanese are feeling the price of this tour is expensive and hurdle is high :sweat .)

      The manager said USA SR could tell you how to join in the tour. So please ask it by phone. I know how you're eager in this tour and really want you to participate...
       
      #147 ria_ria, Dec 19, 2006
    8. Thank you ria_ria!!
      When I called VolksUSA, they had no info, but they said they will find out for me and email me as soon as they know.
      I hope they are under 400, and will finally consider Americans to join!
      *prays*
      SailorLimaBean- I thought maybe it was the language thing, too. But then I thought, how about the Korean people? I am sure the Korean applicants cant *all* know Japanese, so that cant really be the reason.
      Well, I am off to go hope and wait for VolksUSA reply.
      Thanks again, ria_ria!

    9. ouch my heart stopped beating for a second (maybe five) upon seeing this! 0.o
      It'd be wonderful if I can speak Japanese and have the money to go ...

      I would want to get a momoko if I have that $5000 lol :P
      But she costs just as much on YJ ... so it doesn't make a difference .. :*(

      I love the BSSB MSD outfit too!!!!!!!!!!!!

    10. Well, maybe they planned on Korean apps and have made arranagements accordingly. I.E. they have a Korean-speaking staff member on hand, like how we have many Spanish-speaking staff members on hand at many events/shops here. Maybe, in this setting, "English" is the new French. Yeah, a lot of kids TAKE it....

      I've got to think it is a language thing. I mean, they have asked in the past for non-Japanese people not to attend the painting classes (or something like that). Whatever! Maybe Volks will cave and let me come!

    11. SailorLimaBean- A warning in advance, do not keep reading! I will not be held resonsible for you being broke, as I will already have to deal with myself being broke after this!!! lol

    17. I made a thread in the meet-up section, to see if any other americans will join in on the tour-
      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1382981#post1382981

      Also, I had a thought! What if Rei-Tenshi are not baby like, like Yo-Tenshi and Sei-Tenshi..... what if they are like Uyoo, Metel or Unoa light style/scale!!!??? Wouldnt that be amazing! I am actually hoping Rei-Tenshi are more like that style/scale than another baby/todler type style/scale.

    18. *Update again*
      I called Volks again and asked about detail again :)

      1: In Japan, Volks will send the paper for applications of "Makeup school" and "Toppi & TBSSB Dress Set" within this week. In USA, Volks USA will definitely send same information or call you who applied in this tour directly.
      2: About limit of the application for makeup school, you don't need to worry, but if you want not to miss the chance, please call Volks USA once and tell it. It's safer.
      3: Please take the reservation of hotel in Nagasaki by yourself. Volks USA will ask you to come to Nagasaki directly. (This is 100% decided thing.) You can join in the tour by going to HUIS TEN BOSCH from your hotel in Nagasaki to it directly and the time is about noon. About detail, Volks USA will tell you :)
      4: Limited doll Toppi will be sent after this tour. You will receive her and dress at your home in USA.
      5: If you want to join in this tour, you can do it even from now. So please call Volks USA and apply! Japanese Volks staff promised that they would their best to entertain you ;)

    19. No futher info on the Rei-Tenshi that will be offered? such as will everyone get one? have the opportunity to buy one? and a picture of one would be nice!
       
      #159 TreeLore, Jan 9, 2007
    20. ^
      Nope, no info yet!
      I think they are trying to keep it "underwraps" though.
      I am calling VolksUSA today, and I will ask about Rei-Tenshi.
      I will let you know of any info I recieve!

      Come on VolksUSA!!!! I have to get my plane tickets *and* book my hotel!!!
      I am praying that they actually will have something availible! :(
