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 DearSD 43cm Discussion Part 2

Jul 28, 2017

    1. @SoapBubbles, your Sweet Dream girls look especially cute in those Volks outfits. And they have matching flocky bears; too darling!

      @snowgray, thank you for posting the Mado display pics. It's nice to see that Volks is adding more sculpts and hands for the Dear SD, and I like the change-up of outfit colors. Bold red/white/black! Plus Tan resin :3nodding:

      Some dolly tax here; my Yu Morisawa Dear SD got to wear an outfit I bought at Dolpa last December, and she's workin' it --

      When I look at her, I think of Dainty June in "Gypsy" -- Let me entertain you/Let me make you smile...

    2. What shoe brand/size fit? Luts baby delf shoes are 6 cm long inside, but maybe not wide enough?

      I’m sure it’s been discussed before but please point me in the right direction then, thank you!
       
    3. @beamlette Thank you! <3 Your Yu Morisawa looks so classy in that outfit - I really love how you styled her.

      I usually stick to SD size shoes. At the very least, when I use the volks SD shoes they usually fit quite well.

    4. I really like the DSD, but it often looks weird to me, probably because it wears clothes and shoes that are too big.

      What are the feet measurements?

      Maybe one can change to SD10 or MSD feet (or other brand) (and hands), can someone confirm it would fit?

      Luts list their baby delf feet as 5,7 cm long.

    5. Volks lists the feet as 6cm long and 2.5cm wide.

    6. I believe DSD feet are slightly longer and wider than Baby Delf. I have both and can get comparison photos tomorrow if I'm reminded. My Baby Delfs wear Sasha doll shoes pretty easily but DSD can be more of a struggle to get them to fit.

    7. @Sweetiemi, I use Volks SD/SD13 girl shoes for my Dear SD, plus some non-Volks SD-sized shoes, with no problem. I find that they fit well when I have them wear socks and stockings.

    8. It seems like I'm not going to have time for proper photos any time soon, so apologies for the low quality, but! I was able to get Hana, and she's now the DearSD version of my SDGr Belle, Sofie!

    9. No pictures needed, thank you! Would be great to know the difference in width though?

      Luts list their MSD/baby delf shoes as 6-6,5 cm long, no width. Some types probably more flexible than others.
       
    10. Weird request, but does anyone have a photo of an F-62 on a DSD body? I have a beautiful F-62 on the way and while I am super excited to get my first fully 1/3 resin, I am also very curious to see how she'd look as a member of my little DSD family lol.


      She is BEAUTIFUL! I have been waiting to see more photos of the girls that were on display and I gasped when yours came up on my Instagram feed!
       
    11. @snowgray : OMGOSH. Hana is sooo cute ToT I can see a mini-Belle in her features and her faceup! WOW... I am just so impressed by how this round of DearSD's turned out. I want them all ;~; Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful new girl!
       
    12. @lunar-dream304, I think Kikakoneko on IG has an F-62 head and a DSD body, if you wanted to ask her for photos? I don’t have F-62! And thank you!

      @Dybbuk, thank you! I’m so glad she came home to me. She’s sooooo cute! I already have big plans for her (as soon as I get done with some crappy work stuff). I’m hoping this whole bunch will come back around again at Dolpa, so more people have a chance at them!

    13. @beamlette HOW DARE YOU (just joking :XD:) Yu is such a grail of mine and a dear Sd version is just the best thing I can think of! Yours is so gorgeous as well :abow:

    14. Very belatedly @beamlette I love your Yu's pose! She looks like a little dancer!

      Also bringing my Una, little Amandine! She's wearing a dress I made from one of Ancienne's patterns, Orietta (but without the collar). Apparently a few days ago Ancienne pulled down all her pattern sales, though! :o She said she'll bring them back but I guess she was debating updates or not? But this pattern is great, I really like it!

    15. There is this wig that looks like it’s blonde curly mohair, shorter style with bangs.
      Does anyone know who’s default it is? (I want to buy it) (Pictures from Volks, Una, Nono, Kira SwD)
      Thank you!

      I think it looks different from this pictured with Kira, but maybe it’s the same? Is it her default wig?

    16. @Sweetiemi I believe the blonde mohair wigs in the pictures above are all the same model, and if I'm not wrong it came with some of the first releases of Una, Nono and Kira. I have one, I got it off Mercari Japan via proxy. I think Yahoo Japan auctions would also be a good place to look. Later releases of Una come with a similar style but in "normal" synthetic fiber.

      Here's a picture of the mohair wig on my Una:

    17. :DThank you for answering! Your Una is beautiful.
      With your information as well as info I found on SD-F-01 – Kira-Megu-Nana-Sara-Una! (Angel’s Base) and other sites, seems like at least the BTSSB (2017) sets came with mohair. I find it hard to tell from photos.
      I do hope there will be more blonde mohair wigs from Volks, they are lovely!
      How does one go about shopping on Y!J these days?
       
    18. @Sweetiemi Thank you! And I'm glad I could help :)
      The easiest way to shop from Y!J is through a proxy service, the one I use is called Buyee.jp but I think there are several others as well. They will bid on the item on your behalf, have it shipped to their warehouse and then let you choose the shipping method from the warehouse to your address. There are some added fees of course but you'll be able to get an estimate of the total before bidding.

    19. Thanks again @rakelnaomi :):D


      I am also wondering about the length of the brown default shoes that came with the My Dear Garden set (looks like they’re about to be released in a new set in black as well).
      If they are truly DSD special size, or regular SD10.

    20. Hello everyone. I was wondering how do one obtain the new Dear SD Leo? I can't seem to find info on it anywhere. Are they usually released with the Dolpa items on Volks USA site? Thanks!
