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 - XXXIII

Sep 12, 2022

    1. Re Volks wig stopper lump…thing: thanks, I hate it. At least I have a dremel for fast sanding in the future.

    2. Aaaa, I just made the final payment on my Cecile and his body already arrived too! It was a steal from Y!J at only 60 cad.

      I'm hoping the holiday post isn't too slow so I can bring him with me when I travel to my friend's on New year's.

      I am shocked how solid this body is though, and how narrow the channels were when I was restringing it.

    3. Payment was due 9/18, so if she wasn't paid for, that would explain it. Mine was on my doorstep on Nov 1st, but it's always possible there were ready dolls from Japan that arrived early, and dolls still in production that are due to ship in the Winter.
       
    4. Are there any photos of Elizabeth and Williams on Instagram after they got distributed at the Dolls Party? Or am I just bad at Instagram?
       
    5. Thank you!
       
    6. Wow, don't get me wrong, I love her in the red wig, but she looks so good in that grey one!
       
    7. Does anyone know when we might know or see the next Disney doll? I thought they were usually revealed at Dolpa, but there was no reveal for one. I'm on the edge of my seat to know who the next one is. I feel like no matter who she is, I'll have to try and take her home. I'm kicking myself for skipping on Ariel and Rapunzel, even Ana and Elsa.

    8. @Heartplace - It takes them almost two years from concept to final approval and announcement for each new Disney collab. So maybe they just haven't gotten that far in the process for the next one? It's also hard to say if Disney will continue to support the collab for long enough to make many more. Both Volks and Disney are secretive about these things, so it's a wait and see.

      I still hope they do Belle or Jasmine next... or an SD16 girl villain.

    9. Maleficent...:pout:

    10. Ah good to know! We might not even get one next year. I'll temper my excitement and maybe put that drive into finally getting one of the ones I missed, ha!

      I agree, Jasmine would be my top vote of the remaining princesses, but I'd also go after Belle or Aurora, I know they'd be stunning. A villain would be amazing and I agree with Cloudedmind, it'd HAVE to be Maleficent!

      If it's going to be awhile to maybe never for a new Disney doll from them, do you know what might be 'next' on their schedule from them? If they do something repeatedly at similar times of the year? I never paid that close to their schedules back in the day.

    11. Oh that's good to know about their Disney schedule. That will give lots of time to prepare. I would think the next one would either be Belle or Jasmine given they had resin shoe releases during Dolpa49. I love when Volks displayed all 5 girls with all their location paintings during Dolpa.

    12. This is the history of Volks Disney releases I could find:
      • A "cosplayed" Rapunzel (SDG Lieselotte) was made in in 2013 as a one off auction. SDGr Rapunzel as a unique sculpt licensed from Disney was released in japan in 2019.

      • A "cosplayed" Cinderella (SDGr Belle [the volks sculpt]) was also made in 2015 as a one off auction. SDGr Cinderella as a unique sculpt licensed from Disney was then released in japan in 2020.

      • A "cosplayed" Belle (SD16 Ami Ayase) was made along with a "cosplayed" Ariel (SDGr Jun Tachibana) in 2018 as one off auctions. And disney-licensed SDGr Ariel as a unique sculpt got released to the general japan audience earlier this year (2023).
      So I'm pretty certain they'll also make and release a disney-licensed Belle as well. It might be the next one seeing how they did the timing of the previous 3 disney princess one offs and then 5~6 years later a licensed release, so possibly next year. but not sure how they'll do the sculpt name since there already exists a Volks Belle sculpt from 2013.

      I dont think Elsa and Anna had a disney expo one off auction version, but technically they don't count as official disney princesses. They were released 4/2022

      Personally, i'd love to see a Jasmine but i feel like if it happens it won't be for a long time. I also would like to see Snow white, which i think is more likely to come sooner than later due to how classic she is.

    13. You never know….. the same year they had a Lieselotte cosplay as Rapunzel, 2013, they also had SD17 Reisner do a Jack Skellington. So we could even be in for Jack Skellington!

      …. I am hoping for Jasmine though :lol:

    15. Do you have a link to view that? Are these the ones they posted on their instagram just recently? It's only for Japanese customers, right?
       
    16. Thank-you so much! I swear I searched everywhere for this and couldn't find it. I wish I could've voted in the DDs, do we know who won? I wasn't able to find an winner announcement either.

      As for the SDs, voting is soon next month! Are the ones up for vote the recent photos on their instagram account or is that something different entirely?
       
    17. I love that Hyde was on the boy voting poll. If only!

      Spreading some holiday-esque cheer with my newly-arrived One-Off Alain from the anniversary lottery! He's so handsome, I'm so thrilled with him!

      Wishing everyone a peaceful and warm holiday season!

    18. Oh now I really have to look into it. Volks really hits the Disney fan inside me. I am glad I waited to collect their Disney dolls over the Disney Collectors because they would test my self control.
