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 - XXXIV

Jan 12, 2024

    1. Thanks! I’ve decided to remove it and cover with the suede I’m using.


      Yes there are drilled holes! Good to know it’s a mod lol. The glue drops catch the ridge on the back of the thigh but don’t do much for stability I think.

      I’m going to peel them off and suede over the divots. Thank you! And in the shoulders I was planning on kips so I’ll just do that hah.

      Thank you for the help!!

    2. @SuperShawol he's so handsome in that uniform! It's one of my favorite Volks outfits to date.

      I also just re-dressed my F-75 in the Volks uniform the other day :aheartbea

    3. I think there's a possibility that the glue nubs might be something Volks tried for a very short time, rather than a mod. I have two SD16 Yukinojos (it's a fixation) and they both have similar glue nubs inside their bodies. Maybe Volks tried this in an attempt to improve posing and decided it wasn't worth continuing; the recent wig-holding ridge thing seems like a similar attempt at improvement which may or may not stick around.

      If I'm correct about the glue nubs being a Volks-done thing, then the body you're looking at would probably have been made around 2005.

    4. that’s interesting :aeyepop: the holes are very even so it surprised me it could be a mod.

      after suede and strings and kips he’s in great shape

    7. Does anyone know how long do Volks doll listings (including the body) last on Dollyteria on average? I have only browsed the site a few times, so I don't know how fast it moves.
       
    8. Dollyteria does consignment items so assume everything is a one-off until proven otherwise. It's highly variable depending on the desireability of the 2nd hand item. Stuff that is priced right and desireable will move very quickly. If something is common or priced too high for condition much more slowly IME. the market overall is a bit slower than it used to be.

    9. Thanks @Lyrajean I think this gives me a frame of reference.
       
    10. I'm feeling dumb, is SDGr Boy Williams The Diligent Scholar an actual different sculpt or just the same head as at least one of the other Williams? Other than him being in WS.
      I really want to add him to my Williams collection but only if he's actually different. He doesn't seem very popular, luckily for me.

    11. @reaperofleaves He appears to be the same head as one of the other Williams just in WS (which for me personally was different enough), although whether he's the old SD13 version or the SD17 version I don't believe Volks has said.
       
    12. What happened to angelden.net? All the photos are gone :( Even the affiliate websites.
       
    13. @reaperofleaves he has a different sculpt number than SD13 Williams, but I don't own both to do a full side by side comparison. I haven't figured out if the number signifies the changes for the standard head cap or a resculpt.

      By the way, did anyone get a DP51 Rigel or Michele? I'd love to know if they got new numbers and/or standardized head caps.
       
    14. Usually they come back once a day and then disappear again from what I've noticed.

    15. I manage to grab 2 Michele but 0 Alto from the last event. I talked with the shop I asked to help entering Lottery for me (but only for Michele as he's my grail doll) and by chance, they also entered for Alto. We both won Michele but did not win Alto.

      I left the hobby for a while and did not keep track on Michele's popularity in recent years so I thought it would be the same case as Williams The Diligent Scholar and Michele would be up for sale later because like, winning 2 of him at the same time is a bit sus. To my surprise, Volks did not do that. Is it just my dumb luck? Did anyone win Alto at all? To me it seems like there's a lot of people went for him.

      And now I end up with 2 Michele, 1 of them may have to go. But the urge to make twins Michele is also strong lol

    17. Angelden photos won't show for me on my PCs, but so far I can always see them on Safari on my iPad. Not sure what's up with that!

    18. The site loads for me but the images are broken.
      I would recommend Angel's Base which is similar and has additional information on Volks dolls and releases; it's also an archive of past releases and company history.

    20. Finally got an SDGR body for my floating Kazuya Kujo head after several years! I'm just getting back into the hobby, but I'm excited to get her set up!
