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. @EurAsianGirl, DearSD uses SD sized heads, such as Nana, Megu, Kun, Coco, etc. I don’t know if anyone has tried an MSD head on the DearSD body, but the neck is likely too big. A smaller head would also not give the bobbleheaded toddler/antique doll look that the DearSDs have going on. Maybe since DearSD is a very different size, it doesn’t break your rule? ;)
       
    2. Okay, I recalled wrongly, PNB Dolls only did a comparison between the two sizes.
      These DearSD heads are actually the same size as SD sized heads, not MSD ones.

      Thank you! I just changed out her dramatic lashes for more natural ones and also her eyes, and wow I can finally 'see' her. Lol. Waiting for the glue to dry and hoping to share a pic soon.


      Thank you! I've always always wanted a SWD Nana and this is a dream come true after all these years. :)
       
    3. I have this pic that I snapped just out of boredom of my SDM Myu Nune and DSD Mimi Lily.
      As mentioned above DSD heads are SD sized heads, and although their height is similar to that of the SDM (note that Nune has boots on in the pic so he looks much taller), their thickness is that of the SD, including the neck girth (note the leg thickness of thet wo).
      Naturally MSD/SDM heads are not compatible with the DSD body.
      Hope this helps :)

    4. I’m wondering since they’ve been doing a lot more first come, first served doll orders lately if they’d be open to that with DearSD. I’m going to pick up my SDM Nana and Kira and my Yo Mako this week so I’ll plant the seed personally.

    5. Please do, Lola!! So many people want DSD here.
       
    6. Of course, Kea!!! I, too, want all the DSDs!
       
    7. The Volks News scans were linked in the SD thread, and it seems like there will be a new DearSD appearance! Her name is translated as Megohime, but it seems as though the text underneath says she's the same head as Ushiwakamaru (not quite sure as the scan I've seen is pretty low-quality). Megu, SwD Megu, Coco, and Nono are also pictured.
       
    8. I hope we can get them off Volks International or Volks USA! I would love if they release all of the dolls pictured, and not just Megohime :D
       
    9. Popping in with a picture of Áine Máire in a new dress (from LittleModa). The light in my house is just awful right now and my camera is on its last legs, so apologies for lousy color correction! At least her hands look about right. :sweat

    10. It is -- but it's super-short, so it's perfect for Stumpy Girl. The stockings would barely fit over her chunky legs, though. :lol:
       
    11. Áine Máire looks lovely in the way you styled her! Beautiful colour green dress that go well with her dark curls.
       
    12. @yoake
      Esmé is so super cute! :D
      she makes me want a SwD girl too~
      I can't wait to see more of her

      @Cynthia in FlintHills
      Áine Máire looks so adorable! :whee:
      Thank you so much for letting us know about the magic clothes that fit these tiny girls
      I've been looking everywhere for months with no luck so I think I'm going to get one for Mafuyu
       
    13. Hi everyone, I was inspired by a Korean owner's picture of a Dear SD Kurumi and pounced on a Kurumi head painted by Viridian House recently. I think she's called Embree. :)

      Here's a quick night photo of her in her temporary look:

    14. She’s gorgeous! I’m hoping to find a white DearSD body for my Miruku head, and Ms. Embree makes me sure it is a good idea. XD
       
    15. Wow, a Dear SD Miruku would be perfection! Hope you get hold of a white DSD body to fulfil your dream!
       
    16. @yoake, she is so beautiful -- if this is her temporary look, I really can't wait to see how you style her for keeps! And I love her foxy friend, too--
       
    17. Thank you, Cynthia! It will take a while as I wait for my next paycheck lol. The doll she's holding has a snarky face under that fox mask. ;)
       
    18. Hi everyone! I'm really hoping Volks does another DearSD lottery for the upcoming 2019 Dolpa in Los Angeles!
      Does anyone by chance have comparison pictures of a DearSD body vs Luts Baby Delf body? Their measurement look very similar.

      @Bears where did you get that amazing couch??
       
    19. @ker246, I don’t have them at hand at the moment due to moving, but I do own both a Baby Delf and a DearSD. The height and limb lengths on the bodies are similar (iirc DearSD is a bit taller), but their torsos are different thicknesses. Baby Delf can fit snugly into Volks’ regular MSD clothes, whereas DearSD cannot. DearSD has a torso almost as chubby as SD! I have my Miruku head on a Baby Delf body, and the proportions are good, though I’d like to get her a DearSD body to match her friend.

      Here is a post comparing DearSD and Rosenlied Holiday’s Child: Volks DearSD | various photo comparisons. Baby Delf is very similar to Holiday’s Child size.
