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 Mini thread (MSD, SDC, Midi sized dolls) - Part 2

May 30, 2021

    1. My little man finally has a proper outfit. I'm still debating on his wig and eyes, but here's a picture of him all dressed up.

      -------- Mods notes --------

      Welcome to the new Volks mini thread!

      The big Volks lines all share a thread as long as they are somewhat compatible so why not the mini lines? MSD, Midi, SDC…why separate the lines that are so able to share parts and clothing?

      Lets discuss the cute mini Volks kids. MSD, Midi, SDC, Hybrids, limiteds, discontinued or new standards: they deserve the attention their bigger brethren enjoy!

      Any of the Volks mini size dolls are welcome here if their parts are compatible (this includes Ian, as well).

    2. @clefairy I’m so happy that you’re so stoked about your new Volks arrival.:) They truly are amazing, aren’t they? (I once purchased one for a specific character, and somehow later wound up with half a dozen!) There’s just something magical about them. I can’t wait to see your new boy once he’s done.

      @Cloudedmind What a cutie! I’m totally in love with his face-up and the way you’ve styled him. Simply gorgeous!:D

    3. Ohhh my gosh what a sweet boy and what a beautiful picture!! I love his outfit, and the way you framed him with the teddies; he looks right at home with them, like a beautiful antique doll treasured by some little girl a century ago.

      Thank you!! ^__^ I’m excited too!! And yeah, I agree. This boy was an impulse purchase, but now I’ve started sketching up his story, and it involves two friends who I’m also planning on shelling as Volks minis now...
       
    4. @PoeticSoul @clefairy Thank you both! Trying to find non-dresses for a DSD is not easy, thankfully Volks recently put out a MSD unisex outfit that fits the DSD body. There was another MSD outfit they made as well that was said to fit DSD, but as this one was actually pictured on a DSD I went with it. I may go back and see if the other outfit it still available though.
       
    5. As a teacher, my favourite time of year is the summer since I finally have time to play with my BJDs. And by play, sometimes it’s just sitting with Michelle laying in my lap while I watch TV. :lol:

    6. @Cloudedmind, your little man looks like he's thinking of great adventures (and friends) to come :)

      @Aiko-chan, Michelle is a very agreeable TV companion <3

      Adding a pic to keep the thread moving along; justkatie179's and my Midi Kiras enjoying a giggle at a tea party --

    7. Ahh I always love coming into this thread and seeing everyone’s good girls and boys :)

      @Aiko-chan I love her lavender hair and her
      beanie!!

      @beamlette SO CUUUTE!! Ahh I love how their dresses match the props and everything!!

      ‘06 Rock restoration project update, if anyone’s interested (I am SO sorry for butt quality photos, I do not have a good setup yet):

      Before and after 1 month of sanding:

      (Edited to not make pics stupid huge lol)

      I think he’s improved a lot color-wise!! I’m guessing he must look closer to his original resin color now, although I lack the expertise to say for sure? Plus while I was at it I got rid of some stubborn dark stains as well as all his seams. I feel like my hard work was worth it!! Next is to send him to the artist for body blushing. I should have in-person pics of his new faceup in a few days ^__^

    17. Well, decided to jump in on the Volks USA SDM order for an F-45 girl. Such a lovely sculpt--I can't wait to see her! The months will go by slowly.

      Doll tax: Here's a picture of Caroline, my Volks MSD F-28 (Mire SWD).

    18. @Reynardine She looks so sweet and serene. Thank you so much for sharing her with us.:)
       
    19. I ordered a SDM from USA's FCS for August! I went with f-45 and a volks faceup. I want to get her the bat outfit that's currently available on Volks jp and make her a little vampire :love The wait is going to be hard, but worth it!
