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. For the japanese pre-order, i will wait until middle June >_< ! Why they take so long lol !!!!!!
       
    2. This release is getting more and more tempting!!! Thank you for sharing those links timid and tanzerse. Wow!!! The last day to preorder on VolksUSA is Saturday, Dolpa 27 has really hit me hard. So many awesome releases. :D
       
    3. I can't decide on Joe. I've never bought a boy doll before and am having a hard time deciding. It's usually so helpful to see owners pictures and I've not been able to find any other images besides some eBay ones. Does anyone have advice on taking the plunge on this preorder? I am so 'on the fence' and could really use some help.

      The picture of him holding flowers today was pretty freaking awesome...

      Someone got their Yukinojo.

      I still havent ordered.
      My card got declined (as it was the first time I used it :lol: ) , and the fact the Japanese order is 400$ more expensive than the US one :| And that when he gets to my country, I will get charged 20% MINIMUM, of his declared value, and volks don't mark down, or as a gift :( So with fees and all , he will more than likely be $1000 more expensive than the US Order :X
      (Oh, and the fact I've just bought a new car :doh: )
       
    5. Ah! Thank you for the link!!!!

      Gah! That is a good reason to wait...
       
    6. Good reason to wait for , over inflated aftermarket costs, split off parts and everything? :lol:

    7. Hi Nakitaninja, Since you asked for help, I have to say that I passed on Yukinojo when he was first release and I'd been regretting it ever since. When this new Yukinojo on the GOU body was announced, I started wondering if there would be any possible way I'd be able to get him. Then came word that VolksUSA was offering him on PRE-ORDER, no lottery to enter, just a guaranteed purchase! :D If you know Volks, you know how rare this pre-order thing is. He is a fantastic looking guy to have, and he will fit all the SD17 size clothes and shoes being made out there. So if you love Yukinojo :aheartbea, and can afford to buy him, get him now! He will undoubtedly go up in price on the secondary market later, and you'll be wishing you'd gotten him when you had the chance. Since you asked...that's my opinion. ;)

    10. True! But it still help me a lot even if it's not a front shot. As I am thinking of putting my Date head on the Gou body as well.
       
    11. You are welcome!! I have been looking for the pictures all these day~
      The body really good!! The owners said it's stand very well as well!!
       
    12. If you do please post pictures!

      Now I wonder what head they'll put on the body next. If we'll get re-releases or new heads.
       
    13. My thanks to you too Kakyou! :D I've been in love with this GOU body since someone posted some scanned photos from a Volks brochere. But not seeing the new Joe side by side with an SD17, I'm absolutely over the moon happy that I'll finally be getting the muscular man of my dreams! :love

      Hi Seditionary, Happy to enable...uh I mean be of help...yeah, that's me..."helpful"! LOL! :lol:

    14. Thank you Julie!!! Arrrrrg. I still haven't ordered him yet... so on the fence.... but the new body comparisons really, REALLY help. What a gorgeous body~

      Sigh~
       
    15. Omg.... this new bod rocks so hard! His waist seems slightly smaller compared to SD17!!!
       
    16. Strange... cause i am on Japanese pre order for a buyer and i must wait until middle June Oo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
       
    17. Just checking, is the usual VOlks confirmation sent for this pre-order? Cos my friend who ordered for me put in an entry but she has yet to receive any email confirmation.
       
    18. Does anyone know what wig size Yukinojo heads wear? I'm lying in wait for mine and I'd like to be ready when he gets here.
