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.

Volks 2006 FCS Heads F29, F30, F31 Discussion

Aug 5, 2006

    1. I ordered the F-30 last Sunday. Mikey of Volks did my order. ^_^;; The F-30 head takes 16mm eyes and I believe she said the F-31 takes 16mm eyes, if I'm not mistaken.

    2. this goes back to one of the customizers in Japan sanding down the face of their sunlight skin doll, you could see a slight lightening where the doll was sanded, you know? So, Volks may have changed the sunlight skin since then, we don't know. but they still ask you not to sand sunlight skin yourself. IMHO, this is because it would lighten slightly where you sand it. Volks has some way around this I guess. please understand, in my opinion, it's not like it's a totally different color underneath. my understanding is that the whole doll is sunlight, all the way through, but the surface is slightly darker.

    5. So does the fade refer to sanding it? The way it was written on the other page made it sound like the sunlight faded for no reason.

    6. Yes, Bailey told me when I mentioned that I planned on sanding the ears that there might be a slight difference in color, but airbrushing/wig placement would cover that. She said that the tan is dyed through the resin, it's not just a surface coating or a shallow layer or tan resin, which ISTR was discovered about earlier tanning skin Volks dolls as Aimee mentioned. I may not understand or may be remembering it incorrectly.

    7. Thank you! I really like the headmold. :) He might be replacing my future M...

      I don't see the headmold through FCS, and does this website take orders? ... sorry if I sound totally like a newbie... :?

    8. You have to find someone to order for you, or go yourself. They don't though the web, sadly.

      Also, f-30 takes 16mm?
       
      #128 Rynn007, Aug 10, 2006
    9. Ah alright, thanks. I don't plan on sanding any of my future sunlight dolls so I don't have to worry now :daisy

      You'll need to find a friend to do an LA Sumika order for you as most people have refused to do mass proxy orders any longer. It is likely that the heads will be available in Japanese FCS soon (soon = a month or two) and then you can order from Tenshi no Sato through someone like ria_ria on this board.
       
      #129 usagi665, Aug 10, 2006
    10. I also take Tenshi No Sato orders, if the heads show up later there.

    11. Thank you everyone, you all so kind!! :) He'll be my 3rd doll and planning to get him by the end of next year. :D

    12. What a pity! Thought you could buy it with the doll:(
       
      #132 Brechtje, Aug 10, 2006
    13. Wouldn't it be terrific if you could purchase those outfits through Volks? I hope they make them and other Fairy outfits available soon..
      fingers crossed

    14. Ah, fantasy wardrobe items from Volks would be very, very cool.... *still saving quietly for F-31*
       
      #134 kasviel, Aug 10, 2006
    15. I love her, too! And, I really don't see Barbie at all....
      I really think I'm getting a F31 boy...^^
       
      #135 oriscany, Aug 10, 2006
    16. I'm just guessing that those outfits were made by seamstresses who don't work for Volks since they typically have other people sew one-off or display outfits (like Yukinojo's outfit by h.NAOTO..what a fashionable boy!) Meaning we probably won't see any sold online at least, but who knows what could end up happening with Volks, they like to keep us guessing :)

    17. The f30 boy had 16mm eyes if that helps any? I actually had them check for me.

      I ordered an f30 white skin girl.And now I get to sit and chew my fingernails for 4 months. ^^
       
      #137 Icarus, Aug 10, 2006
    18. Four months, really? Is that how long they said it would take? :o I thought FCS orders took two months, or maybe three.

      Can't wait to see your F-30 and the others that have been ordered, I'm seriously considering getting that one. ^_^
       
      #138 Dolly, Aug 10, 2006
    19. Yeah they said we won't get them until November. O_O
      Maybe they're just way backlogged? I bet opening up the sunlight orders to sumikas is affecting things too.
       
      #139 Icarus, Aug 10, 2006
    20. Do you think volks will do an elf in the future as part of the limited?

      I am having second thought about ordering fcs now.

      I am hoping to get Shiro also. If i get two bjd then I am going over my dolly budget. I told my aunt to not go to store right now till I make up my mind. I guess i will sit on it for a week and decide.
