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.

    2. Hello! Got myself a Hina SDM. And I am wondering if a regular 1/4 MSD clothes would fit her. I want to buy something from Alice's Collection and I can't tell if the clothes ft since VOLKS never released official measurements for this doll size. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    3. It will fit! SDM is the same measurements as MSD! IIRC the only difference is the jointing of the torso and elbows

    4. Thanks so much! I couldn't find any measurements in the internet so I couldn't buy anything since I can't cross reference. Granted, I have the doll, I don't know how to accurately measure (and I don't have any measuring tape).

    6. Yes; very interesting! I wonder how many they'll offer for lottery. I also wonder if it's in lieu of having Online FCS for June.

    7. They've got some nice sculpts in the Volks USA CM lottery. I think the only one they've offered in North America before has been F-48?

    8. Does anyone know when lottery results will be announced for the SDM coordinate models? I entered for an SDM f_50! So cute, but now I’m a little anxious :0

    9. I’m pretty sure they’re announcing the results on the 15th!

    14. I hate Volks. Even though my SDM is my most expensive BJD ever, it is the worst in every way. Firstly, I got pure skin ever beauty which is supposed to be much slower at yellowing and paid more than double price just to get this. Turns out, this doll is yellowing CRAZY FAST and drastically even though I never ever put it in sunlight or fluorescent lighting and my room has blackout curtains. Secondly, it is insanely floppy no matter how tight I string it or even if I use an extra thick cord. Even with sueding it has no stability at all. The joint separation around the hip is stupid as well, it is always popping out randomly and is so useless anyways. The only thing I like about the doll is the face sculpt. Even for stuff like eyes and wigs, I am insanely disappointed with Volks. Standard long wig was more than double price of typical BJD wigs, yet it was extremely bulky and mushroom-like. The eyes are just bad. The clothes are extremely simple/plain and a lot of the newer designs in the past few years don't look good. I also remember how they wouldn't let non-Japanese residents order FCS in their stores even if they travel all the way. Not to mention all sorts of issues and drama people have had with Volks.

    15. Hi,

      I’m just wondering what eye size people would recommend for Volks SDM with very large eyes like Byakuren?

      Thank you ☺️

      Hi! I use 16mm eyes in my Byakuren. I believe they're Volks glass eyes...

      Not the best picture but you can see how the eyes look fairly well here.

    18. Larger-eyed SDMs seem to be able to handle 16mm or 18mm eyes in my experience. Whichever one you use really falls to personal preference- and it's never a bad thing to have some back-up eyes in both sizes! For SDM Byakuren specifically, I've used both sizes as well. I personally like 18mms because they give her an "old-school" look (the sculpt is, after all) but I received mine with 16mms on arrival. Coordinate model Byakurens seem to come with 16mm in general.

      These are 18mms. I can't remember if I have to spoiler the second image on this section of the forum, so I will go ahead and do so for the 16mms below:

      Both pairs are Volks HG Glass eyes I believe. Someday she's going to get 18mm zoukeimura eyes when I get extras.

    20. I recently redressed my CM 61 boy in his CM outfit since it's very wintery themed! I really like 61, it reminds me a lot of Noa, which is another sculpt I have and love. He's so so cute, though the wig definitely is not the greatest aha
