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

      That's my boy Dumpling cosplaying famous person from the Chinese drama series. This doll is 15 years old, the oldest in my collection, and I still love him. As you can see he is YELLOW, but it doesn't bother me at all. And I'm lucky person, I don't want to buy more of them, looking at others' dolls is enough)).

    2. Hi. I was just wondering if anyone is trying for Lulu or Rick. I’m thinking about Lulu but I haven’t decided yet.
       
    3. I think in all the promotional photos that Volks released of Rick and Lulu, there's something off about their faces and heads. To me they look like tiny bobble headed aliens....lol. More the Lulu than Rick. The Rick looks closer to the traditional Volks doll look. My theory is Volks knows they look weird which is why they turned the yo's heads to the side or 3/4's in the pictures.

      But this is coming from someone who has a yo-sd Kira, Megu, and Una......my bias might be showing a bit.
       
    4. To me, she looks much more childlike than many of the others but not bobble-headed. I think what you may be seeing is the squarish face shape, which makes the head look wider than it likely is (Nono has the same wide jawline). Usually they have more of an oval face shape. Lulu's promo pic on the Kyoto 17 page actually has her facing straight ahead.

      Yurikun, I put in for Lulu. I'm keeping my fingers crossed :D

      Edit: I just submitted payment for Lulu, yay!

    5. Has anyone won a yo-sd Lulu from the VolksUSA lottery yet? That's who I entered for and am anxiously awaiting results one way or the other *fingers crossed*
       
    6. Two of my friends got winning emails for Lulu and another is getting Rick.
       
    7. I did! I already sent payment, I'm so excited :D
       
    8. Congrats to all the winners!

      I recently was able to get a Kanon because I wanted a sweet Yo girl and she's so cute

    9. Very pretty girl! She looks very innocent.
       
    10. For some reason yosd Rick has been restocked on the Japanese website so I just ordered him :D But I'm a little bit confused, wasn't he supposed to be a lottery only doll? Or maybe not enough people entered to win him so Volks is selling the leftovers?
      Either way, I'll be posting some photos once he's home :3nodding:

      Hello! Here is my little Lenwë, a very old Kuuta who I love dearly. A past owner of him sueded the joints expertly with probably moleskin and he poses amazingly.

    12. So I've just received my YoSD Rick and I must say that I'm positively surprised by the quality of his face up! It looks so delicate and beautiful in person, much better than on the photos from Volks. There is a lot of red/pinkish shading around his eyes, I tried to capture this in my photo but I'm not sure if I did succeed.

      And I'm in love with the double-jointed elbows, they pose so nicely <3 Definitely a huge improvement over the older, single-jointed YoSD body.

    13. He’s super cute Ayanami!
       
    14. Oh, he is just stunning! I wasn't sure about the white skin, but it suits that cute little faceup so well!
       
    15. @Vakarian His white skin compliments his face up very well, although I must say that Volks Pureskin White is very white in person :lol: Not that I'm complaining, I was looking forward to having a doll in a different skin tone than my three other Volks dolls in Pureskin Normal.

      On a different note; his head circumference is 18cm and I find it a bit difficult to find a wig for him that doesn't look bulky. Does someone maybe have any recommendations?
       
    16. @Ayanami
      He's so cute! Did you order your Rick from Volks Japan or Volks USA?
       
    17. @CathyM I've ordered him from Volks Japan, shipping was ridiculously fast. It took only 5 days for him to arrive!
