AoIbara happily sent us photos of their new boy who was ordered straight from Tenshi-no-Sato in Kyoto! Meet Charles, an SDGr Boy F-31.
" He is the doll you are looking for!" AoIbara
This boy has a very mysterious vibe to him, so let’s see if we can find out more!

Hello, everyone!
Been a long time since I wrote one of these — IDEX took up all of our attention for a while there, but it’s finally time to release the Dolpa 28 Collection! As per our standard operating procedure, I’ll be updating this post throughout the day with pictures from the showroom, so be sure to check back later!
10:21am: The new release table has been stocked with all of the new items, so the showroom is ready!
Hi there!
Customer C.W. sent us some great photos of Victorique that they were able to snap while the cherry blossoms were blooming!
Cherry blossoms only bloom for a short while in the Spring, sometimes for only a few days, after that they drop from the trees and we have to wait until the next year to see them, so C.W. was lucky to be able to catch such an opportune moment.
We thank C.W. for sending these photos to us!
Victorique with the lovely, pink blossoms. Her dress matches so well!
This is definitely a different look for Victorique, with a darker wig than usual. I think it looks very nice on her.
Thank you again for sending them! I really hope that everyone enjoyed seeing Victorique. Please keep coming here for more!

Do you want to see your dolls or projects here on the Sumika Times Blog? Well, we do too! Please take a look at the rules below and send us your best photos.
1. VOLKS dolls and base products only, please. All body parts of dolls must be VOLKS, but outfits, wig, etc. do not need to be. For kits, the base kit must be VOLKS/ZM, but optional or additional parts need not be.
2. Photos should be no larger than 1 megabyte each (don’t worry about resizing or formatting — we’ll take care of that when preparing the Gallery posts).
3. Feel free to send as many photos as you wish, but if your photos are largely similar in style or are all of the same doll(s), we will select our favorite photo to be your representative in the Customer Gallery.
4. When submitting photos for the Gallery, please tell us both the model name and your personal name for each doll shown, as well as your full name and/or initials.
5. By sending us your photographs, you acknowledge that you are giving Volks USA the permission to edit, reuse, and/or reproduce your photos on the Sumika Times blog and/or the Volks USA website.
6. If you agree to abide by all of the above, please send your photos to us at service@volksusa.com!
Hello there!
Wow, I finally get to do a magazine review! Dandy and Jane have both done them in the past, but this is my first time.
We revealed at IDEX this year that VOLKS is once again on the cover of Fashion Doll Quarterly, this time with a special feature on our new showroom and store in Tokyo, Tenshi no Mado!
Many customers have asked us “What is Tenshi no Mado exactly?” Well, this magazine answers such questions.
FDQ Summer 2013!
Don’t this F-48 (Boy) and Elena look just lovely? You can also see a highlight of the other artists and companies featured besides VOLKS. It’s a really fun issue with several artist interviews, which I personally enjoy.
Here’s a peek of a “Peek!” Tenshi no Mado means “Angel’s Window”, and so, it was set up as a place for newcomers to see into the world of Super Dollfie firsthand and have a comprehensive first SD experience.
There are quite a few large photos of the interior of the shop, a rare occasion as VOLKS shops usually do not allow photos, One-Off Models, the FCS counter, and more!
There’s also a little map of the surrounding area in case you decide to go and visit.
In the back of the magazine there is an exclusive blouse pattern for SD/SD13Girls straight from the Doll Design Department. It is a classic VOLKS romantic style and looks like it would suit many different fashions depending on the fabric and trims used.
To see the rest, you’ll need to pick up this issue! If you make the blouse for your girl please send us photos for our Customer Gallery!
