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

    1. I was told WS is different than fair skin though? Was that wrong?

    2. WS is just that -- White Skin, and Fair is what was previously referred to as Normal Skin/NS.

      Chibi_Rat was just letting you know that Volks makes both colors, depending on the resin color of your Volks doll. (So far, Volks YoSDs are made in just those two colors; no tans.)

    3. Sorry, I meant to say "NS" not "WS" but I guess I just got confused in general because Neon is listed as fair and Megohime as normal
      Good to know fair and normal are the same, thank you, that makes it so much easier looking for hands

    4. No worries, it can get confusing with the naming change and all that.
      I hope you're able to find some hands for your Neon soon! :thumbup
      Option hands are one of my favorite things about the YoSD size in particular, I love popping the more fun poses like the peace hands on Yumeko (my YoSD Megu) for some random photos.

    5. Oh, wouldn't a tan Yo be adorable? If wishes were fishes....

    6. Wouldn't it!!! About the only way might be Dream FCS, which is a dream in itself to win the chance to do that *sigh*.

    7. I am quite surprised Volks has never done a tan skin YoSD. They have offered a tan color resin in practically every other line of dolls (via LE or FCS)... except Yos! I hope maybe one day they will consider it outside of Dream FCS.

      Popping back in because I purchased YoSD SwD White Rabbit and a YoTenshi SwD Mamu~ <3 I feel like I restarted a dangerous addiction. It doesn't help that with the yen exchange, and general drop in price of 2nd hand volks dollies... YoSD are so affordable now!

    8. Unfortunately for we Yo enthusiasts, it's historically been challenging obtaining them, and it wasn't really that long ago that they branched out into white-skinned versions. Hopefully it won't take as long as it did for that to occur. Having Yos available on FCS options (even occasionally) would be wonderful.

      Congratulations Dybbuk, and yes, Yos are a dangerous addiction for certain, especially for one's wallet. ;)

      It took me over a year to finally be able to bring home my very first Yo, an Anne, Heather. She traveled with Fee and I that entire summer/fall.

    9. @clochette : If they had a YoSD FCS system that would be amazing! It would be so fun getting to mix and match resin colors and heads/hands/bodies. :) Ugh, we can dream!

      Your cute little Anne is precious! She looks very content on your travels!

      A picture of my sleeping Yo's. I really have a thing for the Sweet Dream type dolls. Actually, quite serendipitously, a friend of mine offered her sweet Yo Jun Tachibana to come live here. I'm so excited. She should arrive any day now~ Can't wait to repaint her~

    10. Oh my! That would be a dream come true! I’ve always wondered why Volks doesn’t seem to have the same love for Yos as the other sizes. Not just the dolls themselves, but having more variety of clothes and shoes for the Yos would be nice too.

    11. Tabbykittie, from my experiences with the Volks crew, I don't think it's a lack of love...my guess is that it's more likely there is a smaller delta between design/manufacturing cost and price.

      Dybbuk, your kiddos are adorable..I have both of those sculpts, but in open-eyed versions. I've never been able to warm to the dreaming sculpts, so all of my kiddos are "awake". I also have a Jun, she's a happy little sculpt, we don't see her very often. Kennedy is glad another will be joining the forum.

    12. @clochette, my YoSD Jun, Quinn, says hi to Kennedy! (The special Jun hand is useful for holding a lollypop, lol.)

      I feel as if YoSD Jun is an underappreciated sculpt; @Dybbuk, post pics when yours arrives! More Jun love, please :3nodding::D

    16. Hopefully this is an okay question-- where is everyone buying and selling yos these days? I feel like I've only seen the same few moving around the marketplace for a while.

      I've seen a few on Y!A, Mandarake and Dollyteria.
      Posting a WTB would be helpful if you're looking for a specific one.

    18. Sharing a photo of Yo!Jared since he recently came home from getting a new face with his older self. I'm happy he has a brighter look now, the artist did such a great job on him! :D
