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. I've been fighting with Midoriko's (SDC Kaede) knees ever since I got her. The previous owner helpfully sent a stand with her as well, because she'll have a knee-jerk reaction to anything. Comparing to my MSD Myu, whose knees have very sturdy locks, even the sueding that some previous owner had given her has had little effect.

      Fast forward to today, all I had to do was spend 30 seconds adding two stripes of extra hot glue to the back of the socket :doh can't believe it took me so long to figure out, she stands like a champ now. If anyone else is struggling with their older SDC girls, you'll just need to create a little hot glue ledge for the knee to lock into and it will stop sabotaging your doll :sweat

      Anyway, please enjoy this smug bugger as doll tax :lol:

    2. @cobaltconduct Thanks for sharing your knee trick – I'm going to try it on my SDC boy who also likes to buckle at the knees

    4. Maybe all SDCs are simply a bit possessed? :sweat


      Snapped a pic in case it's useful for anyone - I put a bit of a thicker line of hot glue where the red circle is which keeps the knee in place much better.

    5. I posted her in the old-school thread when she arrived, but I figured I should post her here too now that I've restrung her body. (not very well, but it works for now)

      my msd f-12, who I've named Alice because I'm basic. (Although I might spell it Alis instead. Still deciding.) She's earless for now but she's adorable without them too, and I've been obsessed with her since she arrived. (please ignore her wig, I'm still working on taming it LOL)
      Her faceup is obviously quite old, and I think it sort of looks like it might be the original volks faceup? But those stock images are so tiny that it's kind of hard to do a good comparison. Her headplate is dated March 2003, so she's older than me by just a little bit, which means this faceup most likely is too, regardless of who did it. I think it would be a crime to wipe it at this point, even if I wanted to :lol:

    7. I totally didn't even think about the possibility of the eyes also being original. they looked kind of scary in the listing photo (the unflattering head angle certainly didn't help) but i slightly changed their angle in the head when she arrived and she instantly looked so much nicer, so I'm probably keeping them too.
      I agree though, I love old school Volks! They have a unique charm to them
