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

Thank you! I made the dress for my SDC Kaede originally so it's a bit tight for my Myu but the resin wants what the resin wants

 

@cobaltconduct I love your doll's expressions! They have a mischievous aura to them and very cute!

@mydaffer Your Mika is too cute! It's probably one of my favorite MSD sculpts by Volks besides the four sisters. She's styled so fun! Love the fuzzy shoes.

 

Awe thank you so much, she was my very first Volks msd, she’s very special. She’s probably one of the only dolls I own that have a unique style of her own.

 

I have to share my story of absolute destiny with my brand new girl, Chibiusa!

I've been planning her for several months; I was waiting to see if they'd be releasing a Chibiusa Dollfie Dream on the new chimikko body, but decided I prefer resin SDM to vinyl MDD anyway, so I planned to order the FCS F-69. Now, I live in Tokyo, and F-69 is a Kyoto-exclusive, so I had resigned myself to, at some point, take a trip to Kyoto (money) and order her there (even more money).

Over the Golden Week holiday around May 3rd, I went to the Harajuku location for the first time. I don't know why I'd never been, I think I just always lived closer to the Akihabara Doll Point. Anyway, I went with my friend, and we walked in the door... to see F-69. I squeaked, read the sign, and realized that she and one the Kyoto-exclusive SD boy heads were being offered HERE until May 11th. I wasn't planning on getting her so soon but I did have the money so I went up to the counter and said I wanted to order her. The staff informed me that their appointments for FCS that day were fully booked, but they could take me on the next day, so I made an appointment and we got our bags to leave.

At which point the same staff member came running over and said, "Our appointment for RIGHT NOW just cancelled, would you like to order her today?"

Obviously I said yes, and excitedly ordered her (and was even able to order some extra hands and eyes for my friend.) I got the anime-style faceup because... she's Chibiusa. I estimated she'd arrive, appropriately enough, around her character's canonical birthday of June 30th. I spent the next two months collecting scale props, clothes, wigs, eyes, everything she'd need. I even made a ita-bag style carrying backpack by modifying a Blythe bag tutorial from YouTube. I was READY.

SURPRISE, she came on the 21st!!! And she is the absolute cutest thing in the WORLD and I love her so much.

Her henshin brooch is a gacha keychain! I'm going to dremel off the loop and then attach magnets so I can put it on all her outfits. For now, the Volks cherry set just looks darling on her.

When I tell you I AGONIZED over the moon placement when I didn't have her here yet to test... but it's perfect!

 

Congratulations @Honooko!!! Her eye makeup turned out sooooo cute! And the bag is gorgeous!

 

@Honooko That was beautiful reading your adventures in getting a doll you will truly treasure. I think she’s so super adorable and the bag is amazing! Thank you for sharing your story! ❤️

 

I have said it on the doll profile and will say it again, she's the cutest f69 I've ever seen! Congrats on your beautiful doll @Honooko , please always share lots of pics of her!

 

Thank you! I was really hoping her eye shape would suit the anime-style makeup and it came out great!

Thank you! The bag was a true labor of love

Thank you! She's so photogenic, I just keep sitting her in my eyeline and sighing happily.

 

@Honooko she is sooo cute! F-69 is on my doll wishlist please post more of her
