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.

    2. Can you buy products there and can you bring your doll?

    3. It says that to visit TnS, you must make a reservation. The only dolls permitted in any Volks showroom are Volks dolls. :)

    4. yeah I saw the reservation part, wasn't sure about bringing other dolls. I'd like to be able to see if I could get Volks clothes for them. I'm wondering if they will be selling clothes or dolls there in a shop perhaps? And would I be able to have my doll there, not the showroom, but in the shop to find clothes or accessories that would fit?

    5. No, only Volks dolls are permitted in Volks locations. Japan values brand loyalty and relationships very highly in business, and it is extremely disrespectful to violate that by attempting to bring a doll from another company into their showroom. There will be dolls and items for sale. While clothes and accessories may fit another company's doll, the showrooms are for Volks dolls and Volks customers; they aren't a doll store but a Volks store. There are places on DoA where you could ask other owners in advance if clothes would likely fit your doll and avoid uncomfortable or offensive situations when you are a guest at Volks. :)

    6. But it IS okay to bring a Volks doll you bought second hand?
       
      #6 Khell, Jun 27, 2014
    7. Absolutely! Not only is it okay, it's encouraged. (Because your Volks doll will inevitably want you to bring a friend home.)

      ETA: Though I believe it's important to only bring a complete Volks doll rather than a hybrid.
