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 - SD, SD13, SD16, SD17, SDGr, SDGou & FCS - XXXII

Jan 9, 2022

    1. Oh my gosh, I just got the email notification saying I've won Yumepi. Whaaaat?! Was not expecting that at all! I'm shocked but excited! :aeyepop:

    2. I got the rejection email for Yumepi. :( Super bummed. I was hoping to get my first Super Dollfie after wanting one for over 15 years. I was planning on getting the second release Mytyl except a family emergency left me unemployed for two months so I didn't. Then I thought Yumepi would be my lucky chance. I guess not. I even bought their yearly membership in anticipation. I hope they release her again next year and not another Alice/Joe/Beth/Lorina.

    3. Is Macha more popular than Yumepi or vice versa? I won one, but it wasnt the one I wanted most so I wonder if a straight trade would be possible

    4. I got my rejection email. I tried for Yumepi. I'm so tempted to try for VolksUSA, but I'll take it as a sign to take a break from buying more dolls this year. :(

    5. Also got a rejection email for Macha. :( I'm glad to see some of you were succesful though!

      @enyka From what I've seen Yumepi seems to be more popular on Japanese auction sites though not by much? From the previous release Sophie also seems more popular than Angela. But ultimately it's the clothing that makes the dolls extra expensive.

    6. Good to know, thank you for your reply!

    7. @shiro_usagi Huh, I had leaned towards Regulus since they showed his impish side with Max repainted as a back up. Guess they didn't place the eyebrows different enough? Though I found putting him in a different, longer wig seemed to soften his look a bit.

      @enyka I'll echo what Lamento has already said. WS SDGr girls tend to not happen as frequently so they are a touch more popular when they do show up.

      Didn't get either myself which my wallet is much relieved. Though I did like Macha's outfit.

    8. I got the reject email but my credit card is pending charge? It was pending charge as well when I first registered for the lottery, and then the charge was disappear.

    9. I have to admit, owners photos of Elsa were what really sold me on her. Volks pictures seem to frequently be awful for showing the doll as is.
       
    10. The one-off preview photos are even more egregious IMO. Volks is a bit ridiculous with those, the photos on their Instagram look so different from the real dolls in sumikas/sato/mado etc.
      My Victorique looked quite different from their preview photos. Her eyes look very bright blue in their photo (right) but irl they're more of a muted blue purple (left)

    11. OMG that's super exiting news. Now I'm very glad I do not have any dolls on order currently :). I'm sure whatever they'll release will be awesome.
       
    12. @beamlette, she is a little bit of a rebel! But the shirt… I think I bought it from a friend secondhand, but I’m not sure where it came from before that! I guess she’s a secret BTS fan?
       
    13. @snowgray, thanks for the possible clarification on the tee's meaning; shows how *old* I am, and no clue, lol!

      @Selidor, thanks for the notice! OMG, maybe a Tan Andre Grandier? Or a Count Fersen? I can only hope....:nosebleed

    14. If they’re going to do a pair again, I feel like Marie Antoinette and von Fersen are the most likely picks.

    15. I’m so glad I told myself no more new dolls (let’s hope my self control is strong enough) because some of y’all have me real tempted with these photos. And Volks teasing more Rose of Versailles? A very good test of control. *_*

      I’m going to post a photo of my two Link customs because this project has snowballed in the most delightful way. I started out wanting to make elf ears so I could have a Link from The Legend of Zelda games, then I ended up making a whole lot more. I just finished modding his arm and am almost done with this look. Next will be finishing up the other (grumpy) Link and getting even more outfits made. My creativity hasn’t seen an outlet this fluid in years. :whee:

    16. Watch the new RoV doll be Loulou just to confuse everybody. :XD:

    17. I tried both Yumepi and Macha and didn't win. :atremblin:atremblin Hopefully I will have more luck on VolksUSA..:atremblin:atremblin

    18. Honestly, I'm just hoping for a plain old Oscar and Andre re-release... I still want an Andre that doesn't cost me an arm, both legs and 70% of a kidney, darn it. :lol:

    19. My new Rose of Versailles dolls theory:

      * Marie Antoinette in pink (gems on the fan indicate this to me)
      * Hans Axel von Fersen (the green coloring and fanciness of that sword can be nothing else, IMO)
      * Oscar re-release in her blue uniform

      I have my custom Marie and almost finished with my Fersen, but I certainly want the official versions. My bank account is feeling very threatened!
