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'm really interested in volks dolls because I love their gorgeous faceups, but I really try to collect tan dolls as a personal choice to reflect my identity. Does volks ever release tan resins? I would love to get an MSD tan doll!
       
    2. All of the FCS heads (any SDM model named after a number, like F-33) can be ordered in tan resin. You can look for examples on Instagram, tagged #sdm_f_33 (change the number to whichever sculpt number you are interested in).
       
    3. Oh thank you! I guess now I need to wait for a FCS event
       
    4. You don't really need to wait for an event—depending on your location, you may need to work with a proxy to place your FCS order. There are also tan SDM Coordinate Models (SDM コーディネートモデル | ボークス公式 ドルフィー総合サイト | 株式会社ボークス) released in Volks stores on a regular basis. There are some proxies that can visit the stores and buy tan Coordinate models for you, if they're still available.
       
    5. Hello, hello, can somebody help me confirm this doll's identity? I'm pretty sure this is a Renee, but I'd like confirmation. She shows as sold out because I bought her...I've wanted an SDC for a while and figured I'd go for it now, since I couldn't quite make the lottery for Macha and needed to fill the Volks shaped hole in my life:lol:
       
    6. I have both Renee and Sora, and I think this is Sora. Sorry that it's not Renee, but Sora is cute too, and with a nice face-up she'll be a sweetie :3nodding::kitty2
       
    7. Dollyteria listing has her identified as Sora too. Definitely still will be a cutie <3

    8. Super cute! I'm happy with her whoever she is, I just wanted to make sure (and somehow failed to find all the info on the listing:doh)
      I'm really looking forward to panting her!

    9. @OneMoreLight and @SaltedPretzel
      I love Byakuren!
      We don't see enough of them around but their little faces are so cute!
      Love the styling of both :D

      @nintendallie
      So much cute!
      F-60 is absolutely gorgeous in tan

      @beamlette
      The peace hands are among my favorite option hands (if they came in sunlight all of my girls would have a pair) and your BFFs are super cute and making great use of them!

      @RamenDoodles
      I love her styling!

    10. Thank you! I'm obsessed with "peace" hands (and others) for my dolls. And I like that you still call it "Sunlight"; it's just so much more poetic than plain old "Tan". :lol:

    11. It'll be "sunlight" forever! :thumbup
      No idea why they decided to change the names and make everything confusing

    12. Omg, I got my Sora and she's so cute! :D
      I've heard people say Volks dolls are even better in person, and they're right. Her body is really detailed, I especially like her hands and cute legs. Her face is incredibly cute as well. I really like how much personality even her blank face has. She looks so friendly:fangirl:
      She came to me with a few stains (and an unholy mess of sticky tack in her head), and was very loosely strung (with rather thin elastic) so I took her apart right away. I cleaned all her parts and restrung her with new elastic. I got a nice suprise in that she was sueded with leather already. Looks very similar to how I would've done it, so I just left it.
      I'm going to paint her this week-end, I just don't have enough focus for this kind of thing after work, but I did get her look ready!

    13. @EagleVision1999 , I love that sunshiny outfit. Can't wait to see how she looks when she's painted!

    14. My Sora has a faceup! For now...
      [​IMG]
      Edit: On second thought, the faceup looks better if I don't try to get funky with her hair. So here she is with a more ordinary hair-do!
      I keep wanting to do more dramatic looks and then I don't love them when they're done. I'll leave it for now though. I also need to get more eyelashes. I only have these long, intense ones left...But she's still cute! Not bad at all for a doll from 2009.

    16. @EagleVision1999, I like seeing an older SDC get a new lease on life. The longer eyelashes work with her; gives her eyes a spark, I think. I also like the wig you had her in when she was blank -- but I'm partial to shorter styles. ^_^

    17. @RamenDoodles Thank you^^

      @beamlette I, too, like shorter styles, but I think the pink wig together with this faceup is a little much...the eyelashes are growing on me tho.
      I'm very glad to have picked this girl, she's lovely.

    18. I Just got my first Volks! This is one of my Grail sculpts! She is a SDC Renee! I love her face so very much.
      I gave her some green eyes and am experimenting with wigs for her. I think I will need to get her some different hands so she can be more expressive! I think she will be able to wear alot of the same clothes as my Minifees!
