Volks YoSD and YoTenshi Discussion part 7

Got it, thanks for the help everyone! I guess that explains the very different prices I've come accross :')

 

Interestingly, Mel/Mai/Nico also came with outfits, but were on the lower end compared to recent Yos. The earlier Yos I got from Kerby Lane all ran in the 350 range, but they came with minimal (if any) clothing other than chonies. In recent years they've have had full outfits with shoes and sometimes hats.

 

I have a new kiddo to introduce!



I found this adorable Kakeru on the DOA Marketplace and couldn't stop visiting him. Finally, I caved, and after speaking with the very sweet seller, was able to bring him home! Surprisingly, he's still searching for his name and identity. None of my dolls are really human, and all of my tinies tend to lean mythological/fantasy, across different cultures. Clearly I will just have to interract with him for a while to find out.

 

Congrats Eri! He looks super cute!
I havent introduced my kid here yet, he's almost done, but I too am missing that "fantasy" part of him

 

He's very cute. My Kakeru has a very mundane name, his name is Daniel.

 

Hello) I am newbie’s with yo-as size, but very interesting cuz they very portable (compared to SD guys). Probably want some small girl for myself.
I have probably weird question. If volks yosd kids really that tiny and fragile ? On picture they looks very pocket size)
Also, if they have any problem areas? Like wrist ball for example? I have damage wrist ball for my SDM girl before. Since that happens for me only SD boys looks solid enough for really playing time with out scared each movement, smaller size seems too fragile. But I never hold or seen folks yo-as kids..))

 

Hi! I have two older YoSD and I don’t think they’re very fragile. I’ve never damaged any of my dolls but Volks seem pretty sturdy in general. The YoSD seem to stand pretty well! My boy stands better than my yo tenshi who wants to tip at the ankles for some odd reason.

 

Oh, thanks for answering)) you mean older yosd which have two part torso and single joint arm and legs? I goggled some information about, and found that this is the only body yosd always have? Boy or girl no matter, they same size, right? Also I see on Google solid torso body and body with double elbows arm. That all I found))
And how about their wrist part? Solid enough? Not too thin wall of this tiny part? I afraid if that cracked very hard to found replacement(

 

Volks Yo SD and Volks dolls in general are very solid, all their parts are solid and heavy, they are truly very well made dolls Their wrist part is very solid to me too, compared to other dolls from different companies.
However I do not own the double elbow arms for YoSD myself, but I do have Volks dolls in SD size with double elbows and they are pretty solid and thick to me, what I really love!

I think you will be very pleased when you have a Volks dolls and will not be disappointed at all, in fact after having one you will probably will have another one XDDDD

Good luck!

 

Thanks)) probably I just have to try))) that very unusual for me to purchase doll with out seeing how she looks in reality)))

 

Guys, if someone can explain, how many type of body’s existing right now? And which most newer? I see Mel and Niko girls and they have double jointed arms (elbow). This is the new one? I thought if I send body to exchange service from some old yosd which body I received back? The same or newer version?
Thanks in advance

 

Here is an updated portrait of my Lenwë since I modded his ears and gave him a new faceup. I want to make him a little circlet as well.

He is a Kuuta

 

The ears looks amazing!! what did you use to mod them?

 

Thank you! I used Tamiya epoxy putty since that’s what Volks stocks in their webstore.

 

I got my first Yosd, Neon the Mouse! I was looking for replacement hands but they seem to be a bit difficult to find
Does someone know if there are other company Yosd hands that fit Volks Yosd in and resin color? Neon is PS fair but I'll also get a Megohime who's PS Normal

 

SQLabs makes hands for Yos. There are so many Volks hands though. What pose are you trying to find?

 

I mostly see only the nakayoshi hands in normal skin on 2nd hand pages... If you know a good place to look please let me know! I'm not looking for specific poses, I just want a few more hands can't remember seeing fair skin yet though

 

YoSD options hands in both NS and WS pop up regularly on Mandarake and Y!A, I've seen most poses pop up at least a few times.
Sometimes you can find them on the DoA Marketplace as well and there are a few offered regularly at Tenshi no Sato so a proxy would be able to pick some up for you.
