Volks Super Dollfie - SD, SD13, SD16, SD17, SDGr, SDGou & FCS - XXXII

@Quinn.nnp
I purchased an SD16 last year. VolksUSA seems to offer SD16 about once a year towards October. Last year they offered them twice in August and October. They don’t charge a different price between the skin tones as far as I remember. The SD16 usually has the option of two types of tan: sunlight and a darker amber tone.

A basic model with the flat feet last year was $726. Faceup and eyes $110. Extra hands $59. Heel legs $88. There’s also extra services like seam line removal and stuff but I didn’t get it. After shipping and stuff it came to $1,024.85 for me.

 

@DemonMiko thank you for your info. So they always have the tan skin options? I prefer the pure skin tan than amber so if pure skin tan is always in the list that would be great. And if you order only heel legs there’s still extra charge of $88?

I want to know the coating service too if sb went for it and the resin feels and looks better than without the coating

The person who sells Pearl sent me her order and there’s no makeup or extra services or extra hands. I’d like to get her now but I’m debating between square and round shoulders I want to see others’ opinion before making a decision.

 

The sunlight and amber tans have both been traditionally offered with SD16 only. The heel legs were an extra set of legs I added to my order. The base price comes with one set of legs and you can choose which one you want. The flat feet are just more expensive if you choose it as the add-on set.

I’m not sure what the sanding and coating services cost though. I didn’t want them so I never added it on.

Ningyo Bingo has a nice comparison of the two types of SD16 shoulders. I personally prefer the look of the rounded shoulders for my girls but I think it really depends on your dolls.

Anyone displaying their Max or Reg in their uniforms? I won Max and I have him in his full school uniform for now. I also got the starry nights utility belt. Very cute. If I had a Reg, he would skirt the rules on the school uniform code. I thought that the ability to remove the cape from the vest was a nice touch. I bought the tuxedo with the tails last year or two years ago. I think Max would look great in the tux as he escorts his love Garnet dressed in Lady Oscar's white gown to the school ball.

I've gotten both square and rounded shoulders and to be honest, there is not a whole lot of difference that I could see. But my girls are in gowns so their shoulders don't show anyway.

 

@Kbarberdav Do the arms look awkward in posing with square shoulders (in naked body)? I tried to look for both shoulders but look like most people get round shoulders.

And I’m curious if anyone got the coating service and it worths the money

 

I get the sanding and coating service.

 

@Quinn.nnp I think the square shoulders look a little odd when they are bare. I have one of each and I think I prefer the rounded. But I can see how the square shoulders provide a touch stronger silhouette. If you do go for the Tan or Amber skin I would 100% recommend the seam removal and coating services, especially for the hands. I got it for my Tan Pearl and F-57 years ago and it smooths and mattes them out so lovely. My Regulus who arrived last week looks sort of plasticy compared to them. I'll need to coat his body.

Here's a pic of my Regulus, SD-57 in Tan and Lorina in Normal. Not the best comparison with the high contrast of the white and black but gives you an idea.

@Psycho Sukafu thanks so much for the information. I think I’ll wait till next fcs to get the coating service then. I do like the tan colour in photos.

I remember they said the coating service has to go with seam removal. So when I choose coating, do I have to choose seam removal as well? Or the price of coating service already includes seam removal?

and I can order through fcs sd16 USA right?

 

@Quinn.nnp As long as Volks USA offers them at some point and you are in US, Canada or Mexico yes. And you are correct, seam removal needs to be ordered along with the body coating with each priced seperately. Though I did just find an interesting project thread for modifying/sanding an F-31 in tan by going into very high grits.

It's an interesting idea that I might test on my Bronze Soom dolls before tackling my Regulus' hands. But it does take me hours to sand an entire doll so not looking forward to that.

I think I've never showed this boy here!! This year I managed to get SD F-26 and even if he was on my wishlist, I never seriously attempted to buy him - this one was really good deal from very generous owner! Now I'm obsessed, taking 231455225 pictures of him, he's on his way to beat my favourite ahaha : DD

@mx_95 He looks so cute!

 

I'm getting my first full-size Super Dollfie soon and wanted to share
I won the Victorique de Blois (Ciera faceup) in the latest memorial one-off lottery! It's the first lottery I've won I'm so excited for her arrival!

Congrats I think she was one of the best ! How do I get to the area where I see my previous lottery entries ? pretty sure I didn't win but want to look. When I go to the Volks international site I just see nothing in my cart instead of the area that stores in info on previous lotteries. Urgh... always find this hard to find.

 

TreeLore,

this is what I finally found.
go to Login, then to my page,
past purchase history
under that is Enter Lottery to purchase information

um I think login is not working. I can't get to mypage at all just stuck logging in and then takes me to main page. Then I see no my page and just have to click login again and around and around messaged you I'm pretty sure this has happened to me before! and no idea how I got to my page eventually.

 

They made an announcement about this. Try clearing your cookies and/or cache. If that doesn't work, an alternate browser or incognito/private window seems to do the trick.

 

Paid off my Hermione! According to the proxy, she should be here in April of next year. It's the longest I've ever waited for a doll but she'll be worth it.

 

I got Ron with the other proxy. Thanks, everyone who's mentioned what proxy they've used! It was very helpful for me!

 

Oh, so they got enough orders to go ahead with production? Not an HP fan, but I look forward to seeing repaints of these two.
