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.

Volks Super Dollfie ~ SD, SD13, SDGr, SD16, SD17 & FCS - Part V

Jun 15, 2012

    1. OMGWD - two Genji! Another one in the "hot grail bishies I'll never get" lounge.... (Thanks to Shinji, the Genji count is massing up in there--)
       
    2. Fransyung: Lol!! Literally! With those katanas!

      Jenny: Shinji!! Hey! His wig looks awesome for a deadly samurai! I can so imagine Shinji with his wig tied up! :fangirl:
       
    3. Thanks Jo - I did want Shinji to wear Masamune's sexy ponytail-wig for modelling that kimono! But it's just too bloody small. I didn't want to mess up the careful ponytail by forcing it on him. ;; I thought Genji's head was tiny, but Masamune's is really tiny.
      Shinji does have his Genji default wig, which could be tied back, although it won't have those sexy bare-spots above the ears. <3
       
    4. Genji... Now HE is still on my list, limited space be damned.


      And Date, I'm watching you. Sneaky bastard. Don't even try it...
       
    5. Jenny: Yes! Date's head is super small. Infact, he has the smallest head by a mile in my crew. But Date's wig is like OMG awesome to the max! I saw someone used the wig on Hijikata's head before though. Cant wait for more Shinji in kimono pics!

      eleniel: Date is gorgeous with very delicate features. Really hope to see more Date repaints too!
       
    6. Wow, is it really possible to get this itsy-bitsy wig onto Hijikata? :O Hiji must be very petite, or else somebody is braver about stretching that wig than I am. (I was too squeamish to really try forcing it, as I want the wrapped-up part to stay tidy.)

      It does also fit my Ryoya, but Reika refuses to wear long hair. And it fits my small-headed old Iplehouse guys. Luckily, Yuki himself still likes it-- and he's the one with the special cut-out ears, so that the swept-back edges of the wig fit perfectly behind them. Which I love.

      (@eleniel, that hair is just one more reason why you should have a Date in your home. <3)
       
    7. That's a wonderful ehm... Nude shot. ;) Hahahaha...
       
    8. But he's not nude, he's wearing hair. And half a robe. ^^
       
    9. Hijikata's head looks huge compared to my Ryoya. I haven't sat down and measured them (my friend has Hijikata) but he makes Arashi look tiny.

      RE: the sexy wig

      One of my Els would try to steal it, I know. My type 2 boy can fit in an 8-9 easily enough.
       
    10. Lovely photo of Masamune Jenny!
       
    11. I don't think any of my boys will achieve leather danger-elegance... My Williams may come the closest, as he apparently is the most formal dresser, but then there's chipmunk cheeks F38, who thinks he's Hawaiian, and a very casual F31. Of course, they're all on SD13 bodies too, so snake-like draping is unlikely!

      And I have to get a better wig for Mr. Casual. But the F31 head has that typical classic Volks head - big around, deep front-to-back, but no height to speak of. I'm hoping to jump on a Euro Leeke GO in a couple of weeks (the USA one closed early) and get him something in Royal Grey with less "crown" --

    12. It doesn't fit? I've seen people use that wig on various dolls and Genji's head is quite small. I have that wig too and it seems to me it would fit Genji?
       
    13. But hobby, your boys always manage to make even aloha shirts look elegant! Which takes some doing, ask anybody. :D

      Not me, I couldn't get it to go on easily-- Genji does have a tiny head, which was why its failure surprised me-- and it's not a wig I felt like 'forcing', because I didn't want to wreck the smoothness of that swept-up zone by manhandling it. Ponytail/braid wigs love to get frayed spots when I handle them too much, so I got skittish and abandoned it.

      If anybody HAS gotten it onto Genji's head, I'd love to hear the trick! Maybe if I had the wig equivalent of a shoe-horn, to 'pry' it on there...?
       
    14. *sigh* Oh Jenny... I thought Ryoya was my only Volks love, but Date is slowly creeping (creeping? more like BARGING) into my heart via your photos. Keep 'em coming! :D (and if you have some of Reika, feel free to spam as well~)
       
    15. :blush ... sh-h-h-h, don't inflate Yuki's ego any more...
      ^^ Thank you, though. I will take home his fan-wishes quietly.
      Reika does have some new photos soon, but I have to go edit them first.
       
    16. Gorgeous photo Joey XD you know how to kill me with your twins~ ;) Hello Kaname~~

      Wow a lovely date! Jenny~ :XD: I think all the SDGr's have tinier head compare to SD13 and SD17...
       
    17. Yes, they do have tinier heads than SD17, but I had a eureka moment! I'm happy to say I was wrong. :D I just needed to take a deep breath & try that Masamune wig on a Genji skull one more time from another angle, and push a little harder, and it went on. It doesn't sit quite right behind his ears, of course (Genji doesn't have cutaway ears), and the hairline is pretty ungenerous. But the fit's not unacceptable -- though best when not viewed from the back -- it's nothing that can't be camouflaged by moving his bangs around & shifting camera angles. ^^ The loose short hairs will just have to be photoshopped.

      It's a wig that gives everybody a funny pointy head, anyway. <3
       
    18. Ahahaha... I see what you mean. But it won't look bad from the front! My DD Sakuya wig has a high ponytail, too, so it was difficult at first to use it on my other dolls. But then I realised you can make it work by putting the back part first onto the head and then slowly pushing and pulling the front part to cover the whole head. ;)
       
    19. Yes, I found that eventually worked, if I stretched it over the back of the skull and pushed gently. Much prettier from the front, of course! Good fringe.

      [​IMG]

      It just fits Yuki's little pin-sized head better, & doesn't leave quite so much skull bare.
      Shin has already jettisoned it anyway; he prefers his own floppy goth haircut. ^^
       
    20. ^Looks good after the adjustment!
