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.

    1. Looks like Volks posted another teaser photo on the VolksUSA Facebook! :ablink: Looks like a pale green/blue?

    2. the new promo picture looks like she is wearing the same/similar outfit as the first teaser. it’s such a cool look. can’t wait to see more!
       
    3. Interesting that both girls have piercings!
       
    4. Ahh me too! I hope the joints aren't 100% circular or that I get used to them >_<

      With shimmer on the faceup too :D Love this new color! Would be cool to see a pretty pink one next!!
       
    5. so pretty! the photo dolls kinda reminds me of peakswood that i also love! it would be great if a Vinyl version of bjd comes out. no yellowing, and lighter <3

    6. There's another image on Facebook of one that is kinda a peachy pink
      (looks different from Volks fair/normal skin to me which tends more yellow undertone but my screen color may be a little off too :sweat)
       
    7. @Nell the shoes picture? it looks like it has a little more pink undertone to me too. and probably a trick of the light but it also seems to have a little shimmer to it?
       
    8. Yep that one @c4tbus It's a little difficult to tell, isn't it! Hoping we get some good pics from comic con tomorrow.
       
    9. @Nell i am so excited for more info! if i have time i’m gonna try to watch the panel livesream!

    10. Wowow! This caught me by surprise, but really how fun? Those colors are wonderful, can't wait to learn and see more about this!
       
    11. @c4tbus where can you watch the panel livestream? I'll be at work but if it's recorded I wanna seeee!
       
    12. Just FYI, the panel will be on Sunday, July 21st at 12:00 pm PDT. I don't know if Volks themselves will be livestreaming on a third-party website, but I'm sure they will tweet or post about it when it starts :sweat It'll be around 11pm my time, a little late, but not after midnight type of late haha. I'm excited! Its been a while since I've watched a livestream of an event I'm interested in :)

      Also, on the SDCC website, the description of the panel doesn't seem to imply its a Volks-only talk. It seems its a general BJD panel with a Volks highlight on their new line. This is kinda surprising since I've always had the impression that Volks liked their exclusivity and to release a new line amidst other competing companies sounds a bit weird to me, but I could be wrong.
       
    13. Oh wow, I'm so intrigued! I've never really cared for the Dollfies or other vinyl dolls, so I'm hoping that this isn't the beginning of a whole new doll wishlist for me. Looking forward to the panel news tomorrow!
       
    14. Looks like Volks is trying to emulate some of the styles pioneered by Korean BJD companies, (assuming the sculpts haven't changed much from the prototypes original shown at LA dolpa) which remind me of Peakswoods and Soom Mini/Little Gem, but it is interesting that they decided to make them in vinyl. Also seems their aiming at the American market particularly? It would be interesting to know why they they thought this combination of elements would be something American Volks fans would want, specifically, and why they don't seem anticipate demand for them in Japan/Korea.

    15. The official Dollfie ICON page is up!

      Now that it's clear that the internal frame is the same as the DDII, we can grandfather these into being On Topic.
      The thread is reopened~

    17. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a Snow-white skin version.
       
    18. The Volks USA rep here contacted the team just a short while ago to confirm the structure of the new line, prior to putting up a News blurb about them:
