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 noooooo. I only just saw the Byakuren girl! I am so sad that I missed her- she's absolutely beautiful!

      Did anyone else get her? I'd love to see some more owner pictures ^_^
       
    2. Someone here got one, but actually, I think they are rereleasing her soon! I think she may by some miracle be available either on the international site or on the US site, but I couldn't make out exactly what the news said. I may also be completely wrong, but I am hoping for future releases of other sculpts on the TenshiMidi body, because I love all the Tenshi bodies.

      No surprise, I'm loving all the boys and girls being shared here, and they are helping me wait out my own order.
       
    3. Oooh!!! I really hope that she's available somehow for me, then, Artemos- thanks for the information! I think the tenshi midi body is lovely.

      I can't wait for my own girls to get home- I have Mina and May coming from Volks sometime soon... just waiting for them to ship out ^_^ Volks did say early October, so I'm thinking (hoping!) they'll probably be on their way in the next week or so.
       
    4. Hi Artemos, I am glad to hear that Volks might release Byakuren soon on Internatonal or Us site. But I was surprised as well because from my understanding, It never happen before that volks will sell the angle dolls ( from sato ) on the site at all. Would you mind if I asked where you heard the news from? Because I love to have her too if volks will sell her at the international site.

    5. WOW... strm ! Your Dai is SOOOO cute ! I just ordered Mako today, but it will be a while before she arrives, as she's getting the Sato gaeri service.
       
    6. Wow You're Dai is so Cute!! I wonder how he would look like in a Yo-sd body...
       
    7. Somehow Dai reminds me or Lorina. ^^ That pout.
       
    8. Got my Dai today! I need to get him more manly clothes then the standard out fit that he came with! Pictures to come :D !

      Btw where do you guys like getting jeans for your midis? Do the ttya pants fit? Or anyone on DOA make nice jeans?
       
    9. Congrats ten_ten! :)

      Are there any pictures of Mako yet? I think she's adorable, I just love her little teeth. I'm lucky enough to be going to Tokyo in January, am I right in thinking that if I go to Volks, she'll be available to buy?
       

    10. Hey-o! It was me and I thought someone else ordered order her as well through a GO but I haven't seen any other pictures of her yet? Here's my girl trying on a new outfit~

      [​IMG]

      I bought her from YahooJ! using Rinkya- I've had my ups and downs with Rinkya but this purchase went smoothly (thankfully). As for making them available online on the international site- it was this event that shared the release of both skintones PSN and PSW (again) and it ended in September. I haven't seen anything else online about acquiring the dolls outside of the event and the event was tagged as VS/VP so it doesn't seem as though they will be available outside of the event in japan. The after event pics are a lot of fun though!

      Because I am an enabler.... mwahahahah:cockroach (never seen the cockroach emoji used so....) here is a link to Byakuren on YJ! if anyone else is interested in picking her up via proxy.:)
       
    11. They're currently available on the international site, so I'm thinking probably so? I'm going next week, and I might get Dai... depends on whether I find anyone else I want while I'm there.
       
    12. That outfit is absolutely adorable, Nakitaninja! :D Oh dear, if they ever release a midi Shiratori I'll be poor...I love Shiratori!


      Thanks solitary agent, that's exciting! Mako is definitely in the line up for me. I'm going to at least check out Mandarake first though!
       
    13. [​IMG]

      Immediate wish granted! Shiratori was the other midi tenshi released with Byakuren this past summer. I have not seen one on the board here but it is a lovely doll! (thank you for the compliments on the outfit too! :))

      Click here for more pics on the Volks website!

      I can't wait to see more adorable owner pics of Mako and Dai.:aheartbea
       
    14. I got my new SDMG Cyndy this week and I couldn't be happier. She's really so lovely and different from my other girls. Ugh, seeing Byakuren makes me want her so bad (I see Byakuren as a she, I hope that's ok) so much!!! I hope I can find her one day. She's a dream and I do love her default wig. I just have no idea how I'll find her. I'll post some piccies of my Cyndy a touch later.

      Congrats on your new Dai, ten_ten. Can't wait to see your pix of him. I'm actually considering Mako, but I don't know yet. I'll have to see more owner pix.

      Oh, my gosh, nakitaninja!!! You are a darling!!! Thank you for the link!!! Now I don't want to come off daft, but how can you purchase her via proxy? I have zero experience with YJ! or Rinka. If you were to be so kind to please assist!!! If you could, of course. I need that little girl - so bad.
       
    15. Oh I love Cyndy! Congratulations and please share lots of pictures when you can~ :D

      You're not daft for asking- proxy services seem intimidating but after you get the hang of calculating the fees, it's pretty easy.The only proxy service I have used for buying Volks from Japan is Rinkya. I have had mostly good experiences with them and one bad experience that they actually created and later apologized for making. That said, (and in the interest of not going too far off topic!) I did use them to purchase Byakuren and the transaction was very smooth. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me! I will do my best to help.

      One word of advice when using any proxy to get your SD Midi home- make sure the condition is what you want before ordering. Sometimes sellers use ambiguous wording in their best interest and are not completely honest about the condition of the item. It's always super helpful to ask someone who knows Japanese about the item specifics when making a big purchase!

    16. Oh no, are you trying to make me bankrupt?? hahaha S/he's beautiful! I wish!

      Where'd you get that outfit nakitaninja? It's lovely!

      Really can't wait to see owner pics of Mako. I wonder when we'll start seeing them!
       
    17. Sorry for the crap piccy of my girls...but here are my SDM girls, including my newest addition, YoMidi Cyndy. I'll post some better pictures later.

      Also, thank you very much, nakitaninja!!! I may have to PM you soon for some more advice, as she is a must for my dolly family.

    18. Ugh, he is so charming! I am certain you can see that, but I wanted to tell you since you've shared him twice, and he deserves some praise!

      My own new Midi FCS boy has arrived at my friends place, and is being shipped this week from Japan…the excitement…I can't even explain! Ugh, I am not ready for these three new boys, though I have some clothes and wigs, it's gonna be work before they are more perfect for me!
       
    19. Thanks! He's definitely a charmer, it makes me smile just to see him hanging out in my hotel room.
      Three at once, that's exciting! What head mold did you get for your midi boy again?
