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

Oh, a vintage cutie! Glad you're going to give him TLC. He looks like an old F-29 to me as well. Can't say for sure from a photogrpah, but the resin looks like that era, too (some of my Volks dolls are also very old, hahah!).

You might be able to get a better guess on his age, without a headplate, based on the body; but it's also possible that was swapped out, so it's more like interesting additional info than definitive.

He is definitely not a F-28/F-16, though! I've seen mislabeled dolls on Dollyteria as well, the numbering system is confusing and they're just doing their best.

 

That's an old f-29, in what seems to be in oldskin. Mandarake gets it right most of the times but they are not experts so what dolls get listed as is not always perfectly correct.

If you compare to this f29 listing, it is the same sculpt and also has YX3II engraved inside.

 

Thanks for the help confirming his identity! I can't say if the body is his original one, but it seems likely. I've taken him apart to clean him, and several parts have 'yx3' engraved inside, so at a minimum it feels coherent

And I don't blame mandarake, the numbering system is a bit complicated indeed and they're not so far off in terms of numbers

 

@Tagath Congrats on the new doll! I love classic Volks sculpts – they all have so much personality.
It's not uncommon for Mandarake or Dollyteria to get a listing wrong sometimes: I see dolls every now and then and go, hold on, that's not what it says it is...

 

Hello~ Does anyone have recommendations on where to get clothes for the sdgr girl bodies with the larger busts? Either from companies or individual creators, idm. Just tricky with the bust sizes seeming so different, a lot of the outfits I see seem to be catered towards the smaller bust. Looking more for lolita or victorian style clothing.
Thanks

@Dybbuk she's so lovely! I love her faceup

 

My beautiful F-73 one-off by Saifa-sama! I gave her a whole new look yesterday and I'm in love She's a very polite girl. I'm such a sucker for light purple eyes.

 

@Foxxi, the SDGr girl larger bust is the more common option, so most outfits, including Volks ones, that say they’re for SDGrG will be for the larger bust. The difference in size isn’t enormous; my small bust girl ended up being able to fit in most SDGr things, and iirc I squeezed her into a couple SD10 dresses that were more fitted when I wanted that look?

 

@Foxxi Seconding what @snowgray said: as GrG are all limited releases, the M bust is the far more common option – the S bust releases I can think of off the top of my head are Lucia, Mana-sama and Sapphire (and any Yume-Tenshi if you want to count them). Volks outfits for GrG will fit M bust – the only Volks outfits where they specify which bust will fit or not fit are for vinyl DD. Some outfits for SD10/13G will also fit GrG, but might be lacking in length or be looser around the waist.

58-60cm girl is one of the popular sizes in Asia, so it's well-serviced in terms of outfits, especially of the frilly Lolita kind. Many smaller creators use Booth (Japan), Taobao and Xianyu (China). Some may also have English webstores or be available via proxy (whether officially authorised or a proxy agent) but this often involves a significant markup.

 

Hello Volks friends, help me solve this mystery: so the normal SD foot part is this, FO-01, right? Kind of wider nails, chubbier toes, the ones you can buy when you want to buy option parts from Volks? What is this more slender foot I see on some SD10 girl bodies? It kind of looks like SD13B foot, but the SD13 boy feet must be bigger, right? Is it an FCS thing or some special option or a renewal thing or...?

 

The little toe doesn't look like the SD13B foot. I tried comparing my FO-02 parts but those also have a little toe slightly tucked under, so not a match. Maybe they're SD16 or SDGrG flat feet?

 

My SD10 came with SD-FO-00, which surprised me because I didn't know they existed and had never seen them offered! I haven't gotten the chance to compare them to FO-01 yet

 

@cobaltconduct Looks like F-02 to me – a legacy FCS heel foot part. I've received them with dolls before: it's very difficult to freestand dolls with them on as the sole of the foot is curved (and Volks dolls with F-01 and F-03 feet are excellent freestanders) and they're wider and larger than the SD16 and SDGrG heel legs' feet, so modern Volks heels aren't likely to fit on them.
I also haven't had much luck standing dolls in SD10/13 girl omukae outfit heels with F-02 (or F-01 for that matter: Volks what is up with the omukae heels?)
If you'd like a look at their shape, there's some in the Marketplace, but I won't link as per forum rules.
I personally wouldn't recommend them unless you're a completionist for parts or have a lot of heeled shoes that fit them, but I'm the odd Volks enthusiast who doesn't dress my dolls in heels and frills

 

Thank you for thinking along everyone! The feet are definitely not fo-02 as they are flat (just like the fo-01). I just received a body with them, hence the confusion and deep dive

I've also noticed them coming with some oldskin bodies (like here or here) so the mystery foot mold seems to go way back. I'm just struggling to find a rhyme or reason for them, or when/why they have been offered. Maybe it is, indeed, fo-00 like @nyaaain mentioned?

 

What a mystery...the only time I can think of 00 numbered parts is referring to oldskin...this is my Oldskin Mimi's foot – I think she was made around 2002 judging by the physical lower lashes on her faceup – the markings on the inside are T04 (please forgive the terrible lighting: the forecast is 42°C here today and the whole house is shuttered up to keep cool)

 

On the topic of FO-02, I recently bought the Galerie de l'espirit 2022 bag and boot set and found that the boots didn't sit at a good angle from the leg with FO-01, but with FO-02 they did. I don't have my dolls freestanding, but even with the saddle stand she just wasn't balancing well when wearing the boots with FO-01.

 

@cobaltconduct is it not written inside the foot next to the hook? Almost all the parts on my Volks dolls have been labeled, with the exception of the single piece torso that I haven't been able to locate the label on yet. How old of a doll did you buy? Mine are between 2003 and 2023 but I don't own any oldskin.

 

The body is a heavily yellowed pureskin and the year of manufacture remains a mystery, too. The feet just have a volks stamp, but no engraving (the hands are numbered however). The SD body I have, that has actual FO-01 feet, also have that engraved in them, though.

The look does seem close to the sculpt of the oldskin feet @castironteapot posted, so I'm wondering if it's some kind of a transitory thing between pureskin and oldskin or a mystery legacy part? I do like the sculpting a fair bit more to be honest, but I also want to understand Volks explain!

In any case, photos behind the jump:

Spoiler: Feet

 

Thanks for the photos! Here's my confirmed FO-00. I tried to match the angle of yours.

I'm waiting very impatiently to see your new doll now btw~

 

Yeah that's the same foot! Thank you for the pics! I'm sure yours are much newer, though, so is it just... a lottery? who gets them? If anyone else has those, I'd love to know which doll they came with, too!

(The new girl will reveal herself once I get around doing the faceup )

 

I just had a thought...could the mysterious foot be a GrG or SD16 flat foot on a smaller body?
Both of them are smaller and narrower than F-01 feet
