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.

    1. I really NEED Elizabeth. Is there any chance of a lottery being open for overseas like Volks USA???

    2. I can't recall any recent limited releases (with the exception of special collaboration dolls) not being available via Volks USA or Volks Int. I expect US collectors will be able to enter the lottery via both channels as usual.

    3. I didn't even notice that until I read your comment and zoomed in. I guess graphic designers have a whole new suite of tools now with AI!

    4. It’s actually a real background with a photoshop filter over it (seems to be the ‘oil painting’ filter). If you look at the website photo, you can see it without the filter, which reveals the ‘spaghetti’ is something like a doily on the carpet that was likely put there to cover the doll stand.
      On the version with the filter, the swirly effect can be seen all over the back wall and affecting the bottom of Liz’s dress where it’s touching the carpet. It looks kinda silly so I’m not sure why they uploaded that version first, but I’m glad to know Volks aren’t actually using AI like this. (The AI translator is bad enough)
      I was lukewarm on Liz at first, but I really, really love that photo of her with the teacup on the site. She has a commanding and mischievous vibe to me. Good luck to those who want her!

      Edit: the JP text does say two brothers, although the word doesn’t necessarily imply a blood relation. I assumed it meant Williams and Cecile.

    5. Whoa, that lip IS weird! Not only is it ugly, but it looks kinda sharp?? Honestly even if it works, I would be sorely tempted to sand it off. :eusa_sile

    6. I'm really underwhelmed by Elizabeth tbh, but I can't wait to see what people do with her!

      The wig stopper lip: that's.. awkward. I don't need my dolls having a weird bump on their forehead even if it does hold wigs on. I know the wig would cover it but I don't need more forehead bulk.

      I used to own this dress, sold it years ago, and regretted it.
      Now I finally have it again.

    7. After being generally out of the hobby for years, I stumbled upon an email from Volks announcing the end of a one -off model lottery. I entered for the Victorique de Blois. I couldn't find a thread devoted to the lottery. Is this it, or all intents and purposes? Things seem a bit changed here since I've been gone.

    8. This thread serves largely as an all purpose Volks large dolls thread. Sometimes separate threads start up but most of the activity is here.
       
      #888 eleniel, Nov 11, 2023
    9. Thank you. There used to be hot threads whenever there was a lottery. We'd all hang out and bite nails together, but I think my last lottery was the one when I got Daria.

    10. I remember those threads! I loved all the announcements of winning and losing - they were always fun.
      People here tend to do the same but it gets broken up with other bits of discussion.
      Members are welcome to start threads like the old lottery threads but no one has in awhile.

    12. @eleniel, your Megu seems to be saying, “About damn time you got this back! Hmph!” It’s what we love about Megu; mega-attitude. Also known as Megu-tude :sweat

      Re: the wig-stopper lip — must’ve been done by the same person who thought up the Graffiti girl neck ball :roll:

    13. I've missed so much!
       
      #893 Merangel, Nov 11, 2023
    14. Every Megu I've owned has had tons of attitude - I am just embracing it.
      I had this dress for my original Megu but I sold it after I sold the doll. I don't regret selling the doll (she was a stand in for the one I really wanted aka this one) but the dress... but I finally found it again!
      Now I have almost all the BTSSB collab dresses I've been hunting for, and this one was definitely the top on my 'must have' list.

    16. @eleniel giving the Elizabeth everyone REALLY wants from Volks! :XD: If only Volks would reissue these outfits... I thought that all of the recent BTSSB one-offs were a hint about the upcoming outfits at Dolpa, but perhaps not.

      @BeyondTime, congratulations! She's looking very lovely and ladylike.

    17. @snowgray Ha! I actually didn't even make that connection! :lol:
      I had high hopes due to all the one-offs as well but... nothing?
