Many customers had a lot of fun with the Valentine’s Day photo space. As I’m sure you noticed, we are still working on getting all of your pictures posted!

If you think we missed posting your SD, please let us know! We got a lot of photos and as much as we try to be careful some may have slipped past us.

You are also welcome to send in your own SD photos.

Speaking of fun, when customers T.H. and W.H. came in last we were able to get some silly pictures with T.H.’s Kit (SD13B Cecile) and Mordred (SD13B F-28-modded)!

What’s this? Archery?

Oh no! Looks like Cupid’s been foiled!

Is that shock I see on Mordred’s face?

Perhaps just amusement.

I wonder if anyone else has ever caught one of Cupid’s arrows.

“True love? Don’t think so.” Kit seems to be thinking.

Better luck next time.

Thank you so much for bringing these guys in, you two! It was a lot of fun as usual.

For the rest of you, don’t forget to come visit our showroom, or send us photos of your own VOLKS dolls!

Hi everyone!

As of Monday, May 16th, all of the lottery result emails have been sent and all non-winning entries have been cancelled.

If you have not received an email from us and your lottery entry order was not cancelled, please contact us for details.

We received so many entries this time and we are so happy that these girls were popular!

Unfortunately, that means that many of you were not able to bring home the girl of your dreams this time. We are sorry for any disappointment and we thank you so much for your understanding and support.

So, to everyone, thank you so much once again and please try again in the next lottery!

     There’s never a time that we don’t get items for our Tools & Materials section. Paint and make supplies? There’s more brushes, paint and make pens! For your SDs especially, elastic cord and pittato wig stopper! We’ve even got a little more of those tiny, tiny buttons, eyelets and buckles for your custom fashion creations!

     We got quite a few wigs in again. If you remember, a lot of colors and styles have been discontinued, so if you’re looking for certain colors, maybe you should pop on over to this section and see if there’s anything you had your eye on!

     Unfortunately we haven’t been able to get more DD base bodies this time, but we did get a few parts in. A couple of MDD hands have been replenished, as well as several types of DDII hands in white skin. Also, eyes~~~!!! Animetic Eyes!

     SWS fans, good news! More Skyraider in stock! Yay! And weapons sets! You’ll also find some of the optional customization parts available as well as the Concept Notes.

     Well, there you go! And those of you waiting for Saber from the First Run, sit tight! We’ll be working on getting her ready to go soon!

I’m back with yet another new wig showcase.

I hope you’ve been enjoying my posts so far. Please stay tuned to the Sumika Times Blog for even more photos of our new wig color offerings!

This time I’ll be showing you the W-111C in Pink Brown.

Pink Brown is a brand new color for us. Like the other new colors, it is heat resistant and made with several different colors mixed together.

Who’s that hiding behind YoSDB Kuuta? It’s YoSDG Suzuna, of course! Suzuna, come on out and show everyone your new wig, okay?

The Pink Brown looks so cute on Suzuna! I think you can see well the mixed pink, brown, and blonde fibers in this wig.

I really like the newer, mixed-fiber colors. It’s a much more realistic feel than when the fibers are all the same.

As you can see with Suzuna, you might need to trim this style for your Yo-SD. I recommend the VS Hair Cutting Razor, or the ZM Dollfie Scissors.

One last shot of this wig in the new Pink Brown color!

I really hope you enjoyed my showcase this time and that you’ll join me for next time!

See you again soon.

I have yet another wig showcase entry for you today!

Today I have more photos of the new colors that VOLKS has been introducing to their wig lineup.

Right now we just have some of our existing styles in new colors, but we’ll be releasing new wig styles in the future, too!

These new colors will really give something special to your SD!

The W-111C has two new colors introduced into its lineup, one in the old fibers and one in the new.

For this entry I’ll be going over the 111C in Smokey Beige, which little YoSDB Kuuta is wearing in this photo! YoSDG Suzuna will be joining us again later, so make sure not to miss it!

Follow along below for more!

The Smokey Beige wig is not heat-resistant, but it proved itself to be one of the more popular colors of our previously released new colors. It is only fitting that it be offered in more styles.

I really like this style. It’s a longer, layered style that suits boys and girls quite well. This wig is tighter, so I really only recommend it for YoSDs and SDCute.

You can pull some of the long tail in front to frame the face like I have done here, or push it all towards the back.

The fibers of the Smokey Beige are also a mix of colors. Light brown, blonde, and grey fibers give the distinctive look.

That’s all for today. I hope you enjoyed my post this time! Please join us again for the next showcase!

I just have a short entry for you today, but it’s no less adorable than usual!

Customer artgalgenius brought along her adorable SDG Kurumi and SDG Miruku twins, Sophie and Coraline!

Coraline on the left and Sophie on the right!

Did you know that Miruku and Kurumi have the same face mold? They do! However, Miruku is in the White skin tone instead of the Normal.

Miruku was only available at the event site in Japan, we never offered her here, so we don’t see her often! Thank you for sharing her with us and everyone else!

I hope you enjoyed seeing these girls! Please come back for more!

I hope you’ve all been looking forward to seeing more of the wigs which we recently made available here.

As I mentioned in the last entry, we have some favorite styles available in brand new, heat resistant colors. I’m very excited to introduce them to you!

Today’s post is about the W-115D in Biscuit Gold!

Please follow along below to see more photos of SDG Kun wearing this wig.

This color is gorgeous! Soft blonde and golden strands combine to create a warm, light yellowy gold color.

All of the new wigs seem to have mixed color fibers. That in addition to their more matte look and slightly rougher texture definitely enhance your SD’s look.

Here’s a better view of the color. Can you see the mixed fibers creating highlights and lowlights in her hair?

For comparison, here is Kun wearing a color you may be more familiar with, 613-Ivory in the same wig.

I’ll try to do this for as many of the new wigs as I can, but for some of the colors they don’t really have an older color that I can compare them to!

Biscuit Gold on the Left and Ivory on the right. You can see that Biscuit Gold is a bit darker and yellower than the Ivory.

Well, that’s all for today. I really hope that you continue watching the blog for more wig showcases!

The main character of the Tokyo Boys Story has finally returned, and in a new, impressive body!

We plan to accept pre-orders for him until Saturday, May 26th @6:00PM PST. That deadline may change without notice, so if you have interest in him, don’t wait too long!

We know that the pre-order is unusual for our Super Dollfie customers, but this is a good opportunity for you to welcome home the boy to whom you’ve fallen in love!

However, at the same time we need your cooperation so that we can process and organize all of the pre-orders smoothly without any mistakes. So please, please, please read the instructions on his pre-order page carefully and thoroughly.

Below is a list of simple mistakes which we have already found a lot of.

*No VOLKS membership number in the comment box.

*The information which we have on file under your membership number doesn’t match with what you gave in the shipping info.

*Billing information given doesn’t match with the information which your financial institution has on file, so we can’t process payment.

(If you are confused about the difference between shipping information and billing information, we have an explanation on our FAQ page.)

We are trying our best to catch any mistakes and contact those customers, but if you order right before the deadline, or if many people contact us at the same time, we may not be able to contact you in time and it is highly possible for you to lose your chance to welcome Yukinojo. We don’t want that to happen!

So, please read the instructions carefully before placing your pre-order and feel free to contact us at service@volksusa.com!

Welcome back to the Sumika Times Blog!

We are sure that you all remember little Kanda (YoSDB Piccolo) from before. Today I have even more photos of him with Allen (YoSDB White Rabbit Sweet Dream)!

This time they are wearing little fantasy outfits. Are they Alice in Wonderland inspired, I wonder?

D.Y. even brought along her own little table and accessories!

Make sure to follow below for more photos.

Allen has a different look than most Yo-SD. I think it really suits him!

Kanda is playing the part of the kitty in a previously released outfit by VOLKS. It’s a girl’s outfit, but he looks adorable in it anyway!

These two were really fun to photograph.

That’s the last photo for today, sadly.

Please do bring them in again you two!

For everyone else, make sure to come and visit our showroom, or send us photos of your own VOLKS dolls!
