Volks 2006 FCS Heads F29, F30, F31 Discussion

I got t order later in the day my FCS Jack Fairy/elf.. while looking at the five ear styles I was able to see how well the ears attach and really seem to stay put.. they have the little plastic piece lining the inside of the hole in the head, and also a sculpted indent in the head that makes the ears lay more flat and not look attached, but part of the actual head.. the hole also goes thru the head, and so the ears have resin pegs that are longer than MSD ear pegs..

these FCS orders will be coming in in November, so we can really see more photos etc.. wish I could have taken more photos of the heads while I was placing my FCS order, but I was so taken with seeing all the heads.. It was really hard to decide which head to choose.. all 3 of the sculpts have something special.. I can't wait to get my Olivia and see if the F 29 works on that hot body..

 

unfortunately they dont let you take photos inside the store (most of the time) so you cant really take a photo of the documentation or the ears at the store.

 

wow, didn't know that.. thanks for the info.. those smaller ears were not on display at the tea.. too bad as they are really nice.. sure do wish volks would sell the ears as an option.. maybe someday

 

A little photo manipulation later and this is pretty close to what I'm wanting:


XD Just thought I'd share.

 

I agree that the F29 looks like Barbie. I think the E04 ears would look better if they were a little higher. I think that's what makes them look a little droopy. The elves are all so cute!

 

The pale haired elf in the promo is the F-30. The brown haired one is the F-31

 

An SD13 boy with no esthetics in LA costs $902, add around $100 for the CA tax. An SD13 boy with no esthetics from a Japanese Sumika will cost roughly $750 (exchange rate might be a little different now, definitely not more than $850 at the absolute most).

 

I'm so in love with the f-31. That face is just what I've been looking for. And volks is offering suntan for a short while! I love Volks.

I've looked and looked -- can someone reccomend someone who does LA FCS? I'm sadly trapped on the east coast.

 

Just about what I was going to ask.

 

I ordered a white skin F29 girl with the elf ears number 5. I know she is like a big barbie for a lot of people but I really like her.

I don't think the F29 looks like Barbie at all! Sure, with the tan skin, long bleach blonde hair, and pink lips, there's going to be a certain resemblance. But the one in the pink dress didn't look a thing like Barbie (though, I happen to think Barbie is quite pretty too).

Hmm. I'm still not sure if the $902 price for SD13 boys includes tax or not. To be safe I'm guessing not, and adding the tax it would be roughly $977.

I wonder if these heads will be available at the other Sumikas and Tenshi no Sato? If not, anyone who wants a tanned elf isn't going to be able to put it off for too long. And speaking of tanned elves . . . great photo manip s2kitty!

 

I almost want to say I could order one for people (I live in LA) but I don't want to get in trouble and I'm new to the whole doll thing These dolls ARE gorgeous and the limited time tanned skin.... just so tempting, huh? :X

 

I don't think you'd get in trouble for it...just not go as often? Heck, you could pick them up and mail them to people.

 

I'm horribly, terribly honest I'm a really bad liar. The first time I went in, I made an off handed remark saying I wanted to get an order for a friend and the ladies at the counter said that *I* must be the one who will own the doll! Scared me witless.

I'm going to go in Saturday to check it out again, though. *sigh* I might be digging my own grave here, haha. But I guess if Aimee used to do it, I could try my hand at it ^^; It wouldn't be a problem to pick one up and ship it off the next business day.

 

yeah, but fcs takes 2 months. Which is fine, it'll take me a good while to save for Raine.

 

just a warning that volks has specifically asked people not to do by proxy orders at the LA Sumika... this is why I don't do them anymore. They worry that peoples' orders won't turn out quite how they want, and also, they really want the experience to be very personal. Often, you change your mind when seeing all the parts in person, or you may want to try different eyes and things, etc. So it's really best to go in person if you can.

I know that this is not possible for everyone, believe me, I know. but I'm just letting you know volks feelings on it, so you're not shocked if some people are not willing to take orders, or if Volks does not allow someone to take an order for you. Basically, someone could go in and order for someone else, but Volks might ask them not to if they think that that person is not ordering the doll for themself. everyone will have to make their own choice on the matter.

also, if you do find someone to take your LA FCS order for you, please be VERY careful. Make sure that they are reputable and trustworthy, so that you don't get cheated. We hear lots of stories of people getting cheated with FCS orders... please be very careful.

 

Augh. The tanned elves with hair ribbons ate me. ;_____;
I always wonder what those types of elves would look like in casual, modern clothes. The Luts elves look great (I'm thinking of bluegirlwish's lovelies right now. ^^) but I worry about the Volks. -sigh-
So many dolls, so few babysitting opportunities. Curse Volks for their horrendous limited-tan-skin scheme. They're wicked and yet so wonderful. XP

 

Well I finally got the courage to phone my aunt and told her to order for me bec. she lives 1hr away from Volks but she does not know anything about volks so here is the list I told her i want. And for those who are FCS expert am I missing anything else ? i felt bad that she had to drive 1 hr or more to get there and if there is something missing then its a hassle for her . She think I am crazy but she will do it for me so thank you auntie or my cousin will order for me.

I don't see anything missing, but you'll definitely want pictures, pictures, and more pictures of the make up you want, be as specific as possible or they will make it more natural than dramatic (and you want exotic so definitely name colours). Also keep in mind H-02 come as optional parts, are you sure you don't want fists or gun trigger hands that can *only* be found in FCS?
