Volks Super Dollfie - SD, SD13, SD16, SD17, SDGr, SDGou & FCS - XXXIV

Im loving Ena more and more with each photo released of her. She looks just like Sapphire! Ranma and shampoo look amazing! They slightly remind me of Kurumi/Miruku

 

Thanks for the link, @snowgray. I've been curious about Ranma and Shampoo, and their styling is darling. So colorful! Thankfully the head molds don't appeal to me, so I won't be competing with those who really want them

 

Wow, they absolutely crushed it on the outfits and wigs for Ranma and Shampoo. The extra hands for Ranma are hilarious and perfect! I think I'm probably marked safe from trying to buy them, which is just as well for my wallet. Ranma is super cute but feels more like an adorable cosplayer to me than Ranma, which is fine! They both have sweet faces and I look forward to more pics of them.

 

the ranma girls are gorgeous. Shampoo reminds me of Ran, I love her. I feel like their cute little heads may look a bit strange on the SDGR body in person, though.

 

The new dolls (both standard and Ranma) are adorable! Disappointed that Ranma is only for Japan - I remember it was released in Europe, and might be nostalgia series for many people.

On another note, are SD16 hands compatible with SD/SDGr? They seem slightly longer on the photos, so I was wondering if it makes sense to get them. I like the separated pinky on H-01...

 

@MsPatricius The hands are the same sculpts as SDGr, but the one touch system was executed in SD16 differently. SD16 hands have an extra wrist ball and string attached and also cost a little more because of it. If you want the SD16 hands to go on SDGr/SD, I assume cutting the string and removing the ball would work. Volks has listed SDGr hands as compatible with SD10 on the limited option parts pages when they're available.

 

I really like Shampoo; too bad for me she’s Japan only!

 

@MsPatricius, you'll need a forceps when changing hands because Graffiti girls and boys don't have the little groove in the base of the lower arm to rest the hook like SD16 and SD17. Also, the structure of the top of the hands is different, and they may not seat well with Graffiti girl wrist balls. You'll need to leave on the SD16 wrist ball, like @eleniel says.

Wow, it was smart of them to go with the baggier clothes and smaller chins for Ranma and Shampoo--it really does help make them look like their manga/anime counterparts and subdue the lanky SDGR body shape. And they DID add the comical aspect to it, even if it's not a high kick. And Shampoo's wig looks really good!

It's not my style so I'm safe for Dolpa, but I am impressed. I shouldn't have doubted they could pull it off, haha

I'm also super excited they went with FCS 93 as a limited-time order for Tenshi no Mado. Now I don't need to go back down to Sato for it. I'm applying to my very first one-off lottery this month (the FCS 101 boy and FCS 59 Girl) and if I don't get either, I can just go over to the FCS counter and get my FCS instead.

 

A follow-up to my previous post re Graffiti girl/SD16 girl hands. I tried an SD16 hand on one of my Graffiti girls, with the wrist ball string intact, and basically it's do-able. However, I had to use a smaller S-hook because the Graffiti girl's hand S-hook was too big to fit up inside the lower arm string channel.

 

Not home for a month and Zhara (SD-F-26) is already serving up tons of attitude. I'm so delighted with her!

She's wearing the FO-02 heeled feet from FCS, and I got her to stand in shoes rated for GrG heeled feet. She is incredibly stable. I will have to try my stash of high heels on her, but if she can also stand in them, I may not have to hybrid suitable feet to her after all. Thrilled about that!

 

@aihre - What a gorgeous girl. And she's holding her pose so well.

 

@petiteballerine Thanks. I'm loving the SD13G body so far. It's so stable at standing, she goes into position and holds it without budging. It's still early days but I will play with her lots and push her posing range to find her limits.

More posing pics of Zhara at my blog, too many to post here.

 

I finally got my grail! Macha was welcomed home today and I couldn't resist taking a few quick photos. She's so gorgeous, I can't wait to photograph her properly. I might just spend this weekend sewing her up some new outfits for a photoshoot.

On a side note, did anyone else's Macha come with uneven glitter under their eyes? It's not super obvious or anything, but one side has one large glitter chunk and her other eye has like 4. It doesn't bother me much at all, but I was curious what other's experiences have been. If anything, I think it makes her unique.

 

These outfit sets are so dreamy. Well worth the effort I had to go through to acquire them lol.

 

So I recently got an SDGr boy, and I’m having a hard time finding clothes that actually fit him. The outfit I ordered at the same time as him (on Dollyteria) was hilariously huge on him so I bought some stuff directly from Volks that said it fit SDGr boys. Again, things are huge on him! I know Volks has a habit of saying things will fit when they don’t really (Anything that fits DDP is usually kinda big on my SDCs but they claim they fit) but still. Does anyone have suggestions for shops out there that cater to his size or are they all geared toward SD17 and bigger?

 

@RamenDoodles, It's a frequent lament nowadays, the lack of new clothes being made for SD13B/SDGrB sizes. Volks too; they show a ridiculous range of sizes on their garment package labels now, trying too hard to cover too many bases.

Underpants helps a little to keep SD13B/SDGrB size pants on SDGrB's skinny hips. Unfortunately I don't have any shop recommendations, since I work with the clothes I've accumulated over the past 20 years of collecting; sorry! Hopefully someone else can chime in...

Which SDGrB did you get?
