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.

Question about Volks Chii - did they make the rest of the characters?

Jul 4, 2006

    1. Hey everyone ^_^ I Heard that Volks made six anime based dolls as well as Chii. Does anyone have any information on the other five dolls? Have i been misinformed?

      Thanks ^_^
       
    2. There's a Shinku from Rozen Maiden, Yumi and Shouko from Maria-sama ga Miteru, Momoko from Shimotsuma Monogatari, And I believe Ria is an anime girl as well, although I can't recall from what if she is. I thought there were more than these as well, but a comprehensive list of all released volks dolls can be found here:

      (And it's where I got my info. ^_^)
       
    3. Well I could be overlooking some..but all I know of are Rosa Chinensis en Bouton Yumi Fukuzawa (Mimi mold) and Sachiko Ogasawara (SD13 4 sisters mold), Rozen Maiden Shinku, and then I guess you could count Momoko Ryugasaki because she's a collaboration doll with Baby, the Stars Shine Bright.

      Edit before even posting, guess I got beat! There's more links though.
       
    4. Thanks ^_^ They don't seem as obvious as chii does...
       
    5. I think Chii just seems obvious to us because Chobits was really popular outside of Japan. ^_^
       
    6. They also made a DD Rei from Eva.
       
    7. UWAH! A Momoko doll!?
       
    8. Last one I saw on Y!J went for $7000, I wouldn't get my heart set on her ;)
       
    9. Aww, that is the suck. But I guess that's the price for "limited edition"
      A really pretty dress from LUTS costs nearly as much as the doll because it's "limited to 10 worldwide"...But...so...pretty...
       
    10. There were a lot of anime based Dollfie Dream dolls made, a lot of them from animes I"m not familiar with...
       
    11. I just thought Chii looked more obvious because of her face shape :P I also thought at first that she was a dollfie dream :P
       
    12. I believe she does have a DD dream head, only it was cast in resin instead of the DD vinyl.
       
    13. I'm not sure about this, but a long time ago when Ria was still listed for sale on the Volks Internaitional site I think she was described as "Rio's little sister". Also the designer for Ria also designed Chinese Rio and made a matching one-off set of Ria and Rio. http://www.superdollfie.net/sd/one_off/images/oneof_rioria.jpg

      The DollfieDream Asakura Nemu, Shirakawa Kotori, and Asakura Nemu Memorial Bride version are from the anime D.C.~ Da Capo and Shirakawa Sayaka is from Suika.

      I don't know of any other dolls based off of anime characters in the 1/3 scale made by Volks, besides those which have been listed in the previous posts.
