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 Super Dollfie Midi Discussion part 1

Feb 7, 2013

    1. Oh thanks guys, I got F-35 in WS, because look at that mold, I literally couldn't not get him! She sent me pics without the eyes just to tide me over for the wait so here is that boy:

      She said their faceups are really gorgeous in person, they look amazing already, but I will get better pictures when I have them all home too.
       
    2. Yay Solitary Angel! I'm defiantly going to go get Mako if I don't find a bargain in Mandarake then! :D How did you ask for the VAT off, or did they speak English? I didn't know you could do that!

      Hope you're having a great trip!
       
    3. Oh, what a handsome little guy! He looks a lot more mature than many of the MSD heads.

      I don't think he spoke English (at least not much) so I guess he just assumed from my appearance and limited Japanese, LOL! He asked for my passport, so if you just show them that it should work. :D

      I'm having a lovely time - just two more days and then have to go home and finish packing for my move, ugh!
       
    4. I am thrilled to have won the Volks Lottery and will have the Midi Reisner coming home soon! I adore my big Reisner and have been looking for years for the "right" MSD boy for me, so I freaked when I saw him in the lottery and freaked more when I found out I won the chance to purchase him! No doubt I'll be spamming you all with pics of him soon!
       
    5. Hi Artemos,

      Thanks for sharing your preview photos. Your boys face-up is stunning. I really like this head mold.

      Would love to see head size comparisons with your new sculpts.


      Hi Wally,

      Congratulations on Midi Reisner. Hope he comes home soon.
       
    6. thanks ginarolo! I'm making my way through this thread, some gorgeous pics and gorgeous dolls! I'm not very familiar with the Volks MSD/Midi sculpts, so I'm hoping to have time to read through this thread and learn more about them! I have a FCS 31 midi girl and I love her, but I haven't had enough time over the last few months to play...hoping to have some time during the holiday season to play again!
       
    7. I keep spamming him, but... he looks different now!

      [​IMG]

      He now has freckles and a couple of moles to cover a little scuff in his blushing he got traveling. His box wouldn't fit in my suitcases, so rather than pay to ship him home I wrapped the pillows around him and carried him in my backpack.

      I look forward to seeing your Midi Reisner, Wally! A big Reisner is on my list of wants.

    8. Wally, there can never be enough Midi Reisners, so please spam away once you get him!

      Solitary Agent, Well, to be fair, I am the one spamming replies because Preston is just too cute to not reply! Can I say, I don't know if you will be keeping this style because I feel as if it isn't your usual one, but your clothing choices for him are so adorable! With the wig and eyes, a triple threat. And I can't resist beauty marks of any kind, so all around a fan.

      If either of these boys came in WS, I would be in trouble!

      My boys are shipping now, I just need to pay my friend back for that, and this process minus the possibility of getting one of the current MSD girl omukae outfits will finally be finished. Volks took up until literally almost the last day to finish my order this time, which I am not accustomed to with them, so I am extra ready!
       
    9. Oh, yes, this is his style! The majority of my characters are either from the Victorian period or the 1920s, but I have a group of 4 kids who are in a band in a modern setting, so I can have fun modern clothes and accessories too. :D
       
    10. Dai's wig does look great on him! :D And I love the pinkish blond colour of Preston's wig, it really suits his faceup, he's so sweet!


      I've been looking at the promo pics of Mako. The more I look, the more I want her! I want to buy a nice kimono for her, and give her a Japanese girls name. So far I'm thinking Hinata. Still dying to see owner photos, but can't find any!
       
    11. Everybody's dolls are so cute! Especially everyone's Dai! Definitely decided that he'll be my next doll. :3

      (btw, solitary agent, your tumblr link in your signature isn't updated. :D)
       
    12. Hi everyone! I thought I'd share a picture of my SDM Mako. :) Volks gave her to me as a prize for winning first place in the doll costume contest at this year's San Diego BJD Convention! She's absolutely adorable so anyone who is thinking of getting her, do it! I'm planning on making her a dress soon even though her default outfit is really cute. I love the bloomers! So here she is wearing a Lullaby Poem wig and some nice blue eyes I had.

      There's a few more pictures in my Flickr album if anyone is interested. :)

    13. She is so precious! Why are Mako and Dai always so cute? lol
       
    14. YAY! A mako! :D She's gorgeous baby~mermaid! And precious, how wonderful that she was a prize.

      I'd love to see more photos of her, maybe some different angles of her face, if you have the time! :)
       
    15. Thank you so much, Mayonaka and SapphireMusings! I feel so lucky.
      Here's another picture of her sort of profile. It's so cute! I'll try to take some more for you this weekend, SapphireMusings. :)

    16. My goodness!!! She's gorgeous!!! Congrats, baby~mermaid!!! She really does remind me of Lorina.
       
    17. Thank you, moonglo! Yeah she really has a sweet face. From some angles she reminds me of SD Charlotte and other times I think she looks a bit like SD Chiyo but now I see the Lorina too!
      And thanks again, Mayonaka! I do think another photoshoot is in order once her dress is finished. :aheartbea
       
    18. I could see her as Chiyo or even Saki with the blue eyes. :)
       
    19. Hello :)

      I have a Flickr account, and recently I found this picture…

      Volks School A(Mini) by blandbilker, on Flickr

      Had anybody else heard anything about MSD-sized School heads? Or would these be considered as "Midi" sized? I've searched both Volks USA and Volks Japan, and can't find any info. I've also sent a FM to the poster of this pic, but haven't received an answer, yet.

      Maybe this person is just referring to this mold as "School A" because in their eyes it looks like a miniature school A head, like how MSDF-06 is called "Mini Anais"?

      Thank you in advance to anybody who has any info :aheartbea
       
    20. This looks like the MSD Schulze, who is indeed a classroom head! At some events Volks would release MSDs as full dolls for their painting classes, and Schulze was one of them. He is pretty much a little MSD sized School A! Other school head MSDs include Rock/Margaret, and Miichan/Taachan.
