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. There are more photos at the Sumika Event page. There are also links to the sales pages for them. They go on sale on Saturday.

    2. Noa is an absolute doll! (Even more so than what she is, I guess :cheer)
      I wonder when Volks USA will be releasing them, I forget how long it took for them to release the SD standards last time...
      Anyone?
       
    3. Whew, I think I'm safe, but Noa has something really special about her!
       
    4. The girls are very cute, I just wish they would release some new standard boys. It's been a while!

    6. Looks like Noa and Hina temporarily sold out on Volks INT. I'm surprised Hina didn't... I hope Volks USA gets them in soon.
       
    7. Looks like Hina and Momo are back in stock on the international site for now. I finally figured out which sculpt Momo reminded me up: the old standard SD Rio. A pair of them would make adorable sisters.

    8. Noa reminds me of Volks F62. I would like to see her without the heavy lower liner and happier brows.
      Should be interesting to see custom faceups on her.

    9. The new girls are very sweet. Momo is my favorite. Hina looks really cute in the blonde wig. Noa reminds me of another sculpt, maybe yosd Remi or something.
      No boys, I wonder if male standard models don't sell very well?

    10. @Nell Unfortunately, as a whole it seems the Volks girls are far more popular. I really wish they'd do more standard boys.

    11. Here is an owner pic of an absolutely gorgeous Noa and an adorable Momo! As usual, Volks' official pics don't do justice to their lovely sculpts~

      I'm hoping they'll eventually do a release of the new sculpts in boy form... particularly Noa. :D I might have to make a space for him, if so!

    12. I want to get a Noa but I wonder if I should wait until Volks USA gets them.
       
    13. I messaged Volks USA on Facebook to ask whether they would be getting the new Standard SD-Midis in, and they said they expect to, but don't have a date yet. They will announce it via their usual (email, FB, etc).

    14. @Reynardine I could've sworn I saw something on their FB yesterday that they expected to have them in by late October, but I can't find the post now... :? Maybe they deleted the comment because they don't have confirmation yet.

    15. Oh my heart! I keep stalking IG for photos and just ran across this.

      Noa is definitely on my wishlist for whenever VolksUSA stocks her. She'd look lovely next to my F-20.
       
    16. When they new SD standards came out, Volks USA got them approximately a month or two after they were released on the international site, so I imagine the timeline will be similar here.
      Noa is super cute!

    17. I've been looking at the Full Choice Handbook from 2016 and in it there is a page for SDM F39 which includes a picture of Yo-Midi Pinoko, looking very like that sculpt. I can't read Japanese so can't tell if F39 is supposed to be the same as Pinoko, but they certainly look similar...below is the photo I took of the page (apologies for the pic - my skills are lacking, and the book is spiral bound so scanning wouldn't have been much better!)

    18. It could be the same but could also be illustrating the owners choice to have an FCS painted with the faceup of a limited. I see something about makeup there, but if you can get a better copy of the image I can tell you for sure (I can read Japanese).
       
    19. Oh that would be great - I'll see what I can do...
