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.

What makes a volks one off a one off?

Aug 8, 2016

    1. What make a Volks one off a one off? Is it a specific head mold that's only used one time or is it also a character, makeup and or outfit? I noticed searching that the head plates will say one off.

    2. I believe it's called a One-Off due to the faceup and outfit being unique to the set, and not so much about the sculpt itself (as they can re-issue the same sculpt for a different One-Off fullset).

    3. What @satyrsmoon said, plus Volks sometimes use sold-out limited heads for one-offs, or combine a usually-male head with a female body (or vice-versa).

      I think they might occasionally make a one-off in a different resin color from the one usually associated with that particular headmold -- but I'm not as sure about that as I am about the other types of one-offs.

    4. What the others have said. :)

      From what I've seen, the One-Offs are made as uniquely painted and dressed dolls that are put on display at the Volks stores for a set time. Customers can put their name in a draw box if they want a chance to purchase that specific dressed doll.

      Unless the sculpt is limited, the One-Off Models don't have any greater marketplace value than a standard release. The head-plates ID the origin of the doll (location/event and manufacture date). A One-Off plate lets you know that the doll has been previously displayed and the head/body combination might not be the same as a standard model (swarico legs, option hand parts, etc).
