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 SDGou - Speculation and Discussion!

Oct 23, 2011

    1. You're welcome, aishi... XD When is the next Volks news?
       
    2. I am so excited about this new body. I really loved the SD17 body! Just amazing sculpting and posing ability! But i like bodies that are a little bit more buff, so i think this new body is the perfect blend! Volks tends to make timeless dolls that still remain relevant in a crowd with competitors, i think. The Sd17 body was released a long time ago, but it is still very popular and one of the best male bodies i have ever seen or handled.
       
    3. It is the announcement of SD GOU monitoring program.
      So it won't be officially released in DP26. But people can apply to exam the body, get it at DP26, keep it for 1 week and give Volks feedbacks in a meeting after.

      I hope my understanding is correct.:)
       
    4. Then the next boy released should be from Tokyoboys... SD17 Yukinojo Sawaragi! XDD Yay! *got spanked by everyone*
       
    5. If so, I wonder if Yukinojo is a newly sculpted head and will look very different from previous? I think it's probably a new sculpt although looking similar to the old one.
       
    6. I'm sorry, but where do you see that news?:sweat I read something about Yukinojo, but in SDGou article... Didn't see anything about an SD17 Yukinojo though:sweat
      ~Anthony
       
    7. Anthony : No news, I was just speculating... Since everyone says Yukinojo hasn't been rereleased in ages... but so does Tsukasa and Ryoya for that matter! XD
       
    8. Perhaps for me it is too muscle :'( ! but i will wait and see ^^
       
    9. The only thing it says about Yukinojo is that people from all over the world have been asking for a manly body from Volks since Yukinojo sold out, and Volks is now, six years later, finally able to respond.

      Yeah, definitely won't be released at Dolpa 26, as that's where monitors will pick the bodies up . . .
       
    10. So it's a prototype that may or may not be mass produced I guess.
       
    11. Sounds like they want feedback before they go into production, seems like a nice measure to me. So many dolls come out that look great but have wonky posing or jointing issues. The SD16, SD17 and SDGr are my favorite boy types so I have high expectations for this SDGou. I'd love to be a moniter. @___@

      Still hoping the nech size will allow for interchange with other boys head, I want this body for my Tony. Like whoa.
       
    12. Just few weeks before the dollpa ! hope, i have soon :)
       

    13. I'd love to monitor one, too, but of course it's impossible. XD But even so, it means we'll get plenty of feedbacks, maybe photos from the ones who are able to bring the bodies home to test. I want to see the joints clearly. If there's no torso joint, then I'm out. D: I like a body that can do all... and that means double jointed. >.>
       
    14. Whew... :sweat it's impossible for me to monitor it :XD: I'm looking forward for the joints :D even that body is something that I can't handle at the moment~ D:
       
    15. Finally I can find something about SDGou, I read today the news, and hoping to arrive home to be able to search for it hehehe.
      A new body from Volks... It looks great, I am not into muscular bodies, but I think it will be very beautiful.
      I will wait to see more pictures.
       
    16. It's good that Volks is testing the market first.
       
    17. How exciting! I hope to see some testing pictures and information soon.
       
    18. No more news? D: I'm rather curious...
       
    19. I'm curious... when will the monitoring starts? D8
