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. Are the new SDs coming with that headcap notch as well?
       
    2. @Arara I've seen one of the new girls has the notches. I assume both do. I just found a photo of Genji no kimi with notches. It seems all new sculpts (not rereleases) have the notches. SDGrB Will was a new sculpt with a new number as well. The last Rigel/Michele rerelease did not upgrade the head sculpts and do not have notches.

      My review of them after months is that I don't even notice them anymore so I won't be scraping them off.

    3. @nyaaain Thank you for the interesting and thorough response. I guess this is the new norm. The notches haven’t bothered me, but I was just curious as it caused quite an uproar when Williams and Elizabeth were released.
       
    4. Yes, both Genji and Murasaki have them! A word of caution, too; my Genji arrived with his headcap lodged in a weird position and actually suffered a small breakage on the inside. There is a curved channel notch that helps to hold the cap in place. So if you get one and the cap is slid out of position and seemingly stuck, be careful trying to dislodge it!

    5. Sorry if this is off topic, but can someone recommend a proxy for Japan FCS? The eligibility requirements are strict and I don't think usual proxies like Buyee/Neokyo will cut it. I don't live in a country where volks offers FCS :...(
       
    6. [​IMG] Hello! I just came to say hello and poke my head in. Also wanted to show off my new girl! A Lorina I named Mina

    7. Is anyone here entering for the Genji dolls through Volks USA? I can't wait for the announcements as I entered for both girls (I can't decide which one of them I like better). I wonder how many they have set aside for USA.

    8. @Bonjourami Mina is stunning! Definitely reminds me of a grown up yo-sd Chika.

      @Ebisama I haven't entered through USA, but I've entered for Genji and Fujitsubo through the Japan International lottery. If I get either of them it will be the first time in 10 years since I've got a new doll!

    9. I've entered for Murasaki via JP/international lottery. I've wanted Heien clothes for my dolls for ages, so I couldn't miss it. Good luck to everyone entering!

    10. I entered for Genji through Volks USA; I try to support them as much as possible, even though if I win, delivery time will be a few months away and the price a little higher.

    11. Me too! I really love them and I hope they bring FCS back soon.

    14. Wow I won Genji and Murasaki! I wasn't expecting to win anything, let alone both. With their prices on YJA I'm wondering if people just weren't entering as much for them? Wow! Finally blessed
