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.

Volks YoSD and YoTenshi Discussion part 7

Jan 3, 2015

    1. Thank you everyone!

      I'm loving all the boys!! And trying to not want one lol

      Opal- I have another one you can have :)
       
    2. We're both in trouble, I think I want a boy as well! And cool, thank you! :)
       
    3. Boys are great! They're lots of fun to have around the house. Mine are always strutting around being all Heyyy Ladies.

    4. Lol, handsome lads! Cricket and Zuzu do not need to see them..
       
    5. Eeee~ I have an announcement and don't know where else to share it, but I have an incoming Yo! My Luna will have to share her wardrobe, I'm actually kind of excited for that. :D But I'm even more excited that it's YoTenshi Konomi, who I never thought I'd be able to track down! I don't have a tenshi, so she/he'll be my first, but I promise to spam when she/he gets here! I actually should post some Luna spam while I'm at it... >w<;;

    6. Congrats Lolita!

      Opal- we're in SO much trouble lol
       
    7. Aw thanks! But his only defaults he's wearing are the wig, shirt, black vest, and white belt. Bought everything else while I was in Japan. Well.. the second belt belongs to my SD13 Tsukasa... It's supposed to go around Thack's neck as part of this steampunk set - but Rowan thought it was another belt he could use. :sweat

      Your boys are super handsome :D If only I could bring my boys to meet yours, we could make a mini Tokyo Shounen reunion of sorts!
       
    8. :lol: I never considered that a SD13 collar might be repurposed as a Yo belt! I'd been trying to repurpose MSD-sized accessories, but since Yos are SO small, it makes more sense to just go for the double-sized ones and wrap them around twice.

      I'm not going to Japan any time soon, but somebody somewhere surely makes stripey hoodies for Yo boys. That's something that should be in everyone's wardrobe at all sizes. ^^


      @mitya69, I can't see your photo! - but I would love to see Mikkey again.
       
    9. JennyNemesis thank you! Sorry, maybe it's something with the hosting. I've tried again.
      totally right!)))
       
    10. She is so cute! :)
       
    11. I'm a bit confused about Yo-Midi. Is the Yo-Midi body different from a regular yo-sd? Is there anything that makes Yo-Midi an improvement on Yo-sd? why is volks coming out with Yo-Midi's ?

      thanks!
       
    12. Yo-Midis are confusing. The SD-Midi body is an updated MSD (updated except for the hands & feet). The heads are 'intended' to fit both Yo and Midi/MSD. The dolls come with the head on a Yo body-- with the idea that you can swap it for a Midi body later if you want.

      But I don't think Volks offers a trade for the bodies, or a special order form or anything, do they? I think they just leave it up to you if you want to put it on the midi body later. From what I've seen, those big heads look way better on an SDC body.

      It also seems sad to me that if you buy one of the beautiful LE sets, like the pirate boys, and you change the body to a Midi, you're stuck with that gorgeous outfit in a Yo size that you can't use at all. ;; If they really wanted those heads to use different bodies, they'd offer you a choice of body when you ordered! (Of course Volks just doesn't roll like that.)
       
    13. I see yes odd. They should offer a SD-Midi (MSD) body option, but I guess adding another box or another order option.
      YES and the problem with the full set outfit! they should offer two options... urgh volks!

      I got confused because I saw PINOKO the new volks release and the head didn't look over sized, I like the doll. I am not keen on the oversized head thing I have seen on the Yo-Midi.

      What do you think does it look over sized to you? (YES, after thinking more I should as that is what they are offering it should fit on the larger body and not be too small looking!).

      Hum! So I would need to buy a new body (more money!) if I didn't like the big head. That adds a whole new level to buying a doll ! I guess I better start imagining her as a MSD sized and think if I want that just in case.

      ** she does have the advantage of a very young face. Maybe it will work... as a yo. I feel like Alice in Wonderland hohoho
       
    14. No, Pinoko's skull doesn't look quite as egregiously huge as the pirate boys & the Devilman-and-Satan guys. Maybe they're figuring out the proportion thing as they go along. Or maybe her hair is providing camouflage, can't tell.

      The bestlooking Yo-Midi pirate boy I've seen is that SDC Williams. <3 There is a whole thread for Yo-heads-on-Mini-bodies somewhere around here.
       
    15. Yes I think I found the thread. I agree the boys heads look way better on the larger body.
       
    16. Oh! I didn't know that. Now that makes sense (sort of) why the pirate heads at the Volks con looked so badly out of proportion!! They looked pretty strange as Yo's.
       
    17. I agree. It just looks odd to me, I'd rather have them be straight Yo scale (or just put them out as Midis and be done with it rather than making people buy a second body...).

      In happier news, one of my most grail-y grail dolls arrived today...a Hinata! I'm so excited! I will get pics up tomorrow, since it's pretty dark here now. It was a great end to a not-so-fabulous day.
       
    18. Yes, with those big mature faces, I think they should've just made those guys Midis or SDCs and had done with it. The bedroom eyes on those boys, it just looks kinda jarring on a Yo body to me. ^^;;

      Congratulations on your Hinata! That is a fine coup. :)

      I myself just scored a Yo-Tsukasa on YJ, so if the sale all goes well, my chibi headbangers' ball will soon be a trio! I had to shell out a bit more than I did for Taki, but that's what I get for waiting this long after the event. Anyway I was just happy to find one, because it's not like he's gonna get easier-to-find as time goes by. Must! have! all! Tokyo! Boys!
       
    19. @clochette - congrats on receiving Hinata!! Totally looking forward to some photo spamming here ;)

      @JennyNemesis - Yay for more Yo-Tsukasa - congrats!! Mine just arrived home recently, but as I'm out of the country at the moment, I've yet to see him. Getting on the plane today, so I can't wait to go home and do a box opening this weekend. Will definitely be posting photos once I've taken some, and Rowan will just have to give up the belt he stole... which makes sense, since he originally stole it from my older Tsukasa and now it's going to the younger Tsukasa. o__O;;
