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.

    1. I have 3 yosd's and I love them! When I got my first one, I only had larger dolls and I fell in love.

    2. I have (and have had) all sorts of 1/6 size dolls and I must say that I adore my Volks girls. I have 2 and a 3rd on layaway. I love their faces and their hands, so very child like. :)

    3. I used to own a Volks Yo-SD Chika a couple of years ago. Whilst I didn't end up bonding with her sculpt, I still have a fondness for Yo-SDs. They're so fun to pose and dress. So I don't think you'd regret getting one. Which Yo-SD are you considering of buying?

    4. I really think that will be something you'll find out on your own.. I know I had a hard time making the decision to get a Yo-sized BJD because I'd gotten really used to the large sizes. I ended up going to a meet where I got to see Yo's up close and decided it was worth a shot. Now it's my preferred BJD size because they're so portable/poseable. Maybe it's a matter of seeing them in person if you haven't yet? :)

    5. Just a question ! I'll receive a Chika body (For a future 4 Sisters) but, it's the case I can't offer her, do you have any ideas for the head I can put on it ? (I saw a Mia Baby Lamb on it, but I think I can forget ! xD).

    6. I have a Yo-SD Hinata coming home!! I won one on Yahoo Japan. I'm so excited. Yay!! I saw a twin pair of them in Bangkok in 2009. Back then I thought they were adorable but I forgot what sculpt they were. So that's why it wasn't 'til now that I realized the cute Yo-SD twins I saw in 2009 were in fact Hinatas.

      Can anyone tell where Volks sells the Yo-SD hands? I tried looking on their website but I can't find them. Do they only sell them at special events?
       
      #206 Eiko82, Sep 25, 2015
    7. Congrats on your Hinata! She is my absolute favorite BJD-I have had mine since 2009. Not sure where to get the hands, but I'm sure someone can help you out!

    8. [MENTION=2910]Eiko82[/MENTION] the hands are only sold at special events or as occasional limited options that can be ordered (within limited time periods and usually Japan only) when you get one of the dolls new from Volks. You are limited to the secondary market otherwise.

    10. Ah okay, thanks very much for letting me know. Guess I'll have to keep an eye out on the secondary market in the future.

    11. They aren't too hard to find on yahoo Japan and usually aren't even horribly expensive (especially with the dollar/yen exchange rate right now)

    12. Or you could go for the many poses of SQLab hands...

      They're slightly pinker than Volks NS resin, but generally a fine match. And they're all so adorable. I need to go on another option-hand binge... Nava and Taki only have, like, 9 pairs of hands between them, so they could always use a few more.

    13. Is your Chika body the first or second release? I have a Volks Chika (2014) and I have a Volks Kakeru (2010) - the skin tones still match, though my Kakeru is slightly yellower in comparison under certain lighting. But for other skintone matches, I've heard Angell-Studio's normal skin urethane can work among other choices. If it's regarding the head to neck fit, I believe it varies between head molds. You could always mod the neck or head to make it fit though :)

    14. [MENTION=25827]Sakuri[/MENTION], Thank you for your answer !
      The Chika body is the one sold during the Dollpa 23 in 2010. But I'm lucky because I finally made a deposite for my grail doll (Nana) ! So yep, I have a additional body but I sooooo happy !

    15. I need to brag a moment. Opal sent me an amazing surprise. I'm so in love with her. I love when trades work out so well. She still hasn't told me her name. Hopefully soon!

    16. Momocolor heads work well on Volks bodies, I had my Lucy girl on a Volks body (until it got claimed by the Nono head I adopted) and it was a great match.

    17. I finally got Taki into the rest of this Volks outfit that he stole the boots from. Turns out that the clothing part of it is pretty cute, too. :3 I wish they'd do more Yo-size sets like this!

      [MENTION=54902]vertefae[/MENTION], I love your girl's skully hair ribbon! I always wanted one of those for myself, but skulls didn't come into fashion until I was several decades too old for bow-barrettes. xD

    18. [MENTION=57263]Mylene[/MENTION] - Congrats on Nana! Hope you'll share her photos on here when she arrives!

      [MENTION=54902]vertefae[/MENTION] - Hope you find a sweet name to go with her sweet face :aheartbea

      [MENTION=6370]JennyNemesis[/MENTION] - I agree! I wish Volks would come up with more "cool" Yo-boys' sets. Rowan still sports pieces of his default outfit, but I've been piecing together another attire for him. Quick photo with what I've got so far! I'm gonna have to shell out again for Nozomi, my new Yo-Tsukasa, one of these days.

    19. *keekeekee* Rowan is just the cutest! Love that snarky smile. :whee:

      He came with that excellent striped hoodie? And the black belt? Yo-SD belts are really uncommon to find! - My lads would love one. They would also love a striped hoodie I'm sure.

    20. I'm so glad she makes you happy! By the way, Cricket says she's going to steal that hair clip! :)
