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. Oohoohoo... ::signs the Doomed list::

      An SD16 girl in whiteskin...

      Between Johanna here and the Kanu Dollfie Dream Dynamite, it's time to sell a kidney. Any takers? ;)

    2. Thank you so much for the scans, neverything. It seems that Johanna is the Queen and Iris is Snow White, am I correct?

    3. OMG I want Iris's outfit for Amelia, I have been looking for something similar in design!!

    4. Yes, that's correct.

    5. So we won't know for a while whether these girls will be available through Volks USA. So far the word is that they will only be available online and only shipped to Japanese addresses. :(

      Anyone got a translation of their story yet?

    6. I'm in love with Johanna:love!!She's wonderful, amazing and so mystic...and...impossible too!!:...(

    7. Oh man, I so want Johanna. :D Probably have to keep an eye on y!japan for her though...

    8. They may be the same mold, but Johanna is my love from the first sight :love and iris doesn't touch my heart at all.
      But oh, it seems I have another Volks quest ahead...

    9. I feel exactly the same way. :) I'm going to have to risk the second-hand market for this girl, but at least there will be more available than there would have been with a Japan-only release. :sweat

    10. At the risk of attracting flames from existing SD16 owners, I have to say that for me, these two are the first that are actually pretty enough to actually try to get. And now that you mention it, I guess they could be the same headmold... Ha! Shows how observant I am. :p

      Gonna try for both in the USA (and maybe Int AE) lotteries. I just HAD to be around Christmas, didn't it?

      (Truth be told, I'm only really interested in Johanna's clothing. I love the bottle belt!)

    11. Yes.... Put a few freckles across Johanna's nose, and she'd be the new Mrs. Neverything.... :wiggle

    12. Ok, since today is the Friday before the BIG lottery, I'll jump on the Johanna bandwagon. I've never been fond of the voluptuousness of the SD16 girl's figure, but something about the Johanna sculpt is very special. oh no, that's another(!) thousand dollars to cough up. If only $1,000 bills were as common as $100 dollar bills...deciding...deciding...deciding...

      Any opinions of Johanna on an SD13G body?
       
      #32 snowleopard, Dec 5, 2008
    13. I think her face could definitely work on a younger body. If the SD16 body doesn't work for you there are a couple of other companies with resin matches for Volks white, like Dollstown and Supia. I guess you'll just have to get her and find out. ;)
       
      #33 St. James, Dec 5, 2008
    14. Oh I love Johanna's dress. I wonder if it would fit my incoming Topaz?
       
      #34 FunnyLori, Dec 6, 2008
    15. I love Johanna! everything about her. so elegant. sigh...a white Volks girl. :aheartbea

      what is the procedure for the Volks lottery? I haven't followed it for almost two years. I need a tutorial. LOL. :candycane
       
      #35 petiteballerine, Dec 6, 2008
    16. Well! Thank YOU! As if I needed more encouragement! LOL! ...two more days...
       
      #36 snowleopard, Dec 6, 2008
    17. Ah, I bought a new boy's head and I so can't afford Johanna right now ~ she is so gorgeous though! Maybe one day I'll try and trade my incoming Topaz for her. XD I can't seem to find any "real" pics of her or Iris on Y!J though (I fail at Y!J searching), does anyone have any search tips or links, pretty please? :gingerbreadman

      petiteballerine ~ Volks USA's blog gives good instructions! Just select the doll you want, "check out", and wait to see if you get her or not. Volks does do a test charge on your card though so your funds may be tied up for awhile. :|

      Good luck to all you lottery entrants! :starcookie

    18. thanks for the info, Dolly. :treecookie

    19. There are Iris and Johanna sales all over Y!J right now. SO expensive! :sweat
      I'm even more in love with them now that I've seen real pictures. :...(:...(:...(

      Snagged this shot of Iris from an auction:

    20. Newbie questions ahead!!

      Does anyone know how many Johannas Volks made? Are there going to be any more Sd16 releases?
      What's the lottery all about? You just put in your credit card info,and maybe you get one and maybe you don't? Seems a little weird to me.

      Have the Johannas and Irises shown up on any second hand markets yet? What do they seem to be selling for?
