Volks Super Dollfie Midi Discussion part 1

Interesting...This is the first time I heard about it. I wonder if anyone else here encountered the same issue. If you bought from Volks directly I'm sure you can reach out too, especially the stringing issue they probably can fix and check if the parts are ok and if it's defected causing the flopping you mentioned. (I had an FCS before that had a wrong leg part so the doll couldn't stand properly and Volks replaced the leg and reassembled the body for me.)
The wig problem depends on the style you pick probably but I also have their FCS wig before and they look beautiful, sorry to hear about yours.
Japan FCS order is never opened to people who does not have address in Japan, because they are not shipping it outside of Japan so it's like a specialty for people living there

 

No it is not about joints or restringing, it is the resin and you can look up EB 黄変 if you have never heard about it.

 

EB 黄変 is yellowing in English. All resin yellows. Early Volks dolls yellowed more quickly, but the modern ones are much more stable. The skin tone has changed some over the years, but on the whole, Volks' resin is much more reliable that some other doll companies out there.

 

There’s a special resin mix called Ever Beauty that’s more expensive than Pure Skin but supposedly more resistant to yellowing. Apparently not everyone thinks so.

 

I've also heard this problem about Ever Beauty particularly the WS. I'm sorry about your experience maiyufi and how it has put you off of Volks dolls. It seems like this gimmick may have been more experimental than they let on.

 

If you are a GL member, Volks’ website has a preview of SDM Saki, Coco, and Chiyo. There are 10th anniversary editions releasing at the April Dolpa, and regular editions releasing afterwards in Japan at least - maybe Volks USA will get them too?

I’m looking forward to seeing more images, they’re really cute!

 

Where do you find this on the website? I’m a GL member but can’t seem to locate it.

The limited edition of SDM Saki, Coco, and Chiyo are all in white skin and the regular release will be normal skin.

I like Chiyo limited wig, but not quite interest in all of those 3 sculpts. They don't look distinctively different from each other like what Momo, Hina, Noa impressed me

 

These girls make such adorable SDM's! Saki is a must have though Chiyo and Coco are also very tempting. So glad the NS versions will be standards!

At first I thought they looked rather same-y, but looking at the small pic of the standard versions, I think that is mostly because the LE's are all styled very similarly with the same general tones and color scheme. The standards look more like themselves, if that makes any sense.

 

I absolutely adore them, to me all three are must haves happy they're standards as well, and that the standards are made up just as cutely as the LEs! trying to work on doll wardrobes before growing the family, so it's great not to feel rushed

 

Is there any indication that the new releases would be purchasable from the Volks USA website at some point? I'm not sure how releases like this work. I'd love to own a Saki, she's really cute.

 

My 2 Midis (standard model Hina and F18 on a sdm suwarriko body) and MSD F01 and YoTenshi Yuki hanging out as well!
