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

I measured them and looked at them side by side and it's the same size as a normal FO-01, just different sculpting. The resin also matches perfectly so I have very little reason to believe someone swapped them out I haven't found any good pics of GrG or SD16 flat feel to compare them better though.

I think it's more probable that they are a pureskin adaption of the oldskin feet (although there's also another oldskin foot sculpt, which I assume came with even earlier dolls?), hence the mysterious FO-00 nyaaain mentioned. The toes look more similarly sculpted to FO-02 and SD tabi feet that also existed in oldskin so perhaps it was the FO-01 that was added later for some reason, maybe for better standing stability or for shoe fitting reasons? Or perhaps it's all just an elaborate joke from Volks' casting department, or they couldn't decide which one was better etc

 

Fascinating foot discussion today
My 2008 f-01 (Kira? On origin body?) has the same "slender foot" style. It is a very good cute foot.
@cobaltconduct do you have a new volks character at home? fun!

Also hello everyone! I always forget I have my lone Volks doll which means I could come see what's happening in discussion every now and then.

 

I noticed that your and nyaaain's FO-00 feet have a slight separation between the big toe and second toe, with a small but noticeable groove to it; the rest of the separation is filled in by resin. (At first it looked to my eye like flashing that needs to be fully cut out, but maybe it's not?) My FCS girl has confirmed FO-01 feet with the stamp, and her big toe and second toe are pressed tight together, with no gap between them, or groove. The two Dollyteria photos you linked also seem to have big and second toes pressed together - at least, to my eye. Since you also have confirmed FO-01 feet, could you do a side-by-side comparison to see how their big toes look?

Possibly the FO-00 foot was a kind of "combination" between a normal foot and a tabi foot, then the FO-01 flat foot and FO-03 tabi foot with the very separated big toe were introduced later to make them more specialized? It is mysterious why some recent dolls like nyaaain's still come with FO-00.

 

I originally thought it was the foot that came by default on the limited SD10 bodies, maybe even the standards too. I only have one (limited, 2021) SD10 body and it's hard to get many people to check their doll feet and confirm the limited/standard/FCS/etc origin of their bodies along with it, so I haven't tried to solve this mystery. It's not offered in USA FCS, but I've never looked into seeing if it's offered in actual FCS.

 

@aihre (and everyone I've roped into this foot discussion by now)

Left foot is FO-01 in PSW, right side FO-00 (as established) in PSN.

The feet fit on the respective ankle balls interchangeably, stand just as well and also have no problem fitting into the same shoes.

@nyaaain - I've looked at a lot of second hand listings with the feet in mind and haven't really noticed a pattern. I don't think I've seen any FCS come with them but maybe that's just chance. In any case, the body I have has 01 hands so it could easily also be from a standard doll? Nobody knows. I wonder if all Lieselottes came with the 00s?

@AlisonVonderland - Indeed, a new (to me) volks pal has arrived! I'd been looking out for a School C for so long - a sneak peek.

 

Thanks to you both!

I have another question for anyone who got the btssb yumepi.. does it have a CoA or does she just come with the little yumepi booklet?

 

Hmmm...I'll have to check my Lieselotte when I can return home (nothing like evacuating from bushfire danger) to see if she has the mysterious F-00. This also makes me wonder if it was more common with Origin Body releases designed to resemble the shape of the oldskin body...

@Foxxi I don't have a Yumepi, but all of my limited Volks dolls from 2003 to 2024 don't have CoAs, just the booklet and a unique box: only my Standard Models, Adaption Models and Coordinate Models have a CoA (also Adaption and Coordinate are in-store only, meaning you sign the CoA yourself when you choose your doll).

 

@castironteapot okay thank you!

 

So my Dolpa 45 Galerie L'Esprit Lieselotte (2021) does have F-00. I'm beginning to think it likely came with Origin bodies to further emulate the Oldskin look...what a mystery this has turned out to be!

 

@castironteapot we have the same Lieselotte release! It could be helpful if you checked your other SD10/13 girls and noted what they all have (other than the FCS bodies where it wouldn't be offered and the new standard models). I wonder which feet the non-FCS SD10 boys come with too.

 

@nyaaain Will do once I have power again – it would be a good comparison point!
Let's see...out of non-FCS girls who I know have their original bodies, I have Lieselotte, Murasaki, Rose, Nico, Standard Maki, a Saki One-Off and an Adaption Elena

 

This has got me all curious so I checked- my 17/11 Standard model Mai has FO00! She's second-hand but based on the condition I got her in, I think her previous owner barely touched her so I can only assume those are her original feet.

 

@cobaltconduct Thanks a bunch for that photo comparison - the differences are clear to me now. So very interesting, and very cute little feet too ^.^

For what it's worth, I ordered my one Volks girl through Japan FCS, through a proxy. The proxy gave me a menu of foot parts to choose from, and FO-00 was not on the menu while FO-01 was. I have no reason to think that they were deliberately withholding FO-00 from their proxying service, so it seems that it is not available through Japan FCS (and my girl was ordered through Tenshi-no-Sato). Might indeed be reserved for certain releases.

 

I have the FO-00 foot in my collection too (and i own only one sd10 body) it's from my Saki from 2015).
I do also own sd16 flat feet and can confirm that they are not the same.
The sd10 foot is slightly smaller but also a little wider, the ankle is sculpted higher and feel a little more flat footed. The little toe is turned under, but there is more separation between the big toe and 2nd toe of the FO-00.

 

Interesting! I wonder if standard models still come with FO-00 now that the legs got an upgrade?

I did a quick tour around the DOA MP archive and noticed that also Luna came with the FO-00 feet, so perhaps it's standards and limiteds indeed.

 

Yeah there's definitely two oldskin feet if there's one slimmer than pureskin F-01 - I've got a Nono from 2000 and her feet are HUGE. They barely squeeze into a pair of very old Volks boots I have and I'm not sure they'd actually fit modern ones. XD

No F-00s here, I checked my 2005-06ish F-05 and she's got F-01, and my F-59 I got with the F-02 feet. (Which are very legacy even when I got her in like 2016, yeah. They *used* to make heeled shoes that actually fit them but not for a very long time, and even before GR girls came out with their different heel height there were already a lot of 'both, sort of' shoes. Leekeworld used to make shoes specifically for that heel, actually, I've got a couple still though they're actually on DDs right now lmao because Stephanie turned out to be a big stompy boots girl)

 

hi!! i am actually going through and purging most of my collection, but volks really has a grip on me lately and the one guy who is likely going to stay with me through this process of rehoming/selling is my 2007 volks f-24 on a SDGr body. got him secondhand a couple years ago from a collector on ebay and switched him to a newer body from dollyteria. he's really been neglected lately and is lacking a serious makeover that i've had planned for years, and he really doesn't have a good selection of clothes either... guess i gotta get to work on that next after i declutter haha

 

It took me three tries to get the faceup how I wanted it to be, but I'm so happy with it now - this is Morrow, a School C (whose body is the source of the feet mystery )



Lots of gapping with any eyes I try on her, though. I feel like the eye wells would probably need something with low/no dome like Kanis Augen but I'm a bit confused about whether to pick 16mm or 18mm or if there is anything with a better fit. Any advice or tips?

 

I just looked at my girl, and she does have a bit of gapping... I believe years ago I used an "eye sizer" on her and it helped. But she has a pretty good fit in her current eyes, which iirc are old Zoukeimura in 16mm. I can measure them later to confirm, if that helps. Or try her in others, but I don't have any Kanis Augen.

Fwiw, my Claude with eye gap problems is currently wearing golem eyes with much better results than anything else I tried. With him I think the curve of the white was more involved than even the dome, which is of course variable and frustratingly hard to predict.
