    1. That's really cool that they made special plates for the orphans. :)
       
    2. Hey! I am so flipping excited guys, my Tae arrived today and she is just stunning. She was my dream doll all these years and i kicked myself when I didn't buy her back in 2008/9. I haven't been this excited to bring home a doll in about 2 years.
      She needs new eyes and wig and clothes, the poor thing got thrown in hand me downs (I hate the default outfit). However, I really love her default faceup! I didn't think it was anything special from the promo pics, and I'm glad I don't need to rush to change it.

    3. Wow! She's beautiful!! Anais/Tae has always been one of my fave girls. I really have no idea why I don't own one!
       
    4. She's so pretty! It just makes me more excited to get my own. Is that her default wig? Congrats on getting her home!
       
    5. thanks St. James and reitaism.
      That is her default wig, but my 4 year old got a little excited about the hair and the half pony needed to come out :D
      It's really not a big deal, I'll put it back in later. ^_^
       
    6. Wow, she is sooo gorgeous! Congrats! (May be kicking myself for not ordering one!)
       
    7. She's gorgeous, Tetradeka!! I've never paid a lot of attention to this mold in the past but my mind has been changed. I think Volks did a lovely job on her face up. She's very sweet. :aheartbea
       
    8. Tetradeka:OMG! she is much cuter than I had imagined! wow! makes me regret not getting one!

      On another note, I got my FCS that I made at the Volks Tea Party! she is soo cute! I should take some pics this weekend.
       
    9. Yes, pics! We need to see these last few FCS orders :)
       
    10. I agree you need some photos of your new girl, SDink! :D

      I just got my shipping notice the other day for my FCS from Volks! Crossing my fingers she's here on Friday (and that she slips by customs … haha)! :roll:
       
    11. InvisibleWings, your post prompted me to check the mail. :) My headplate arrived as well! The calligraphy on the envelope was a really nice touch. My Michele should be home tomorrow. I should gathering all the goodies I want to try on him.
       
    12. I love your Tae. I think that mold is very beautiful. Your looks so thoughtful.

      SDink I can't wait to see your new FCS. How did you make it into the Tea Party in the end?
       
    13. Tetradeka your Tae looks so pretty. I always enjoy looking at pictures of your girls.
       
    14. I expect there are going to be a lot of pictures like this one on the thread in the next few days... It sounds like a lot of us have (or are soon expecting to have-) our hands on new arrivals. ^_^

      This guy has been a long, long time coming. Alain was one of those sculpts I tried for several different times, but just never managed to get. 'Guess I was unconsciously saving up all my luck to snag him as a One-Off. :lol:

      Anyway, Ceredyn may have taken his own sweet time getting here but I forgive him.

      [​IMG]

      The huntsman of the Summer Court isn't exactly the kind of faerie who'll get in a hurry just because some silly human wanted him to.

      (The original, tabletop RPG version of Ceredyn was a Sidhe knight from White Wolf's Changeling: the Dreaming. He was always a stubborn thing. I'll be keeping the wine red hair color for him, but that wig reminded me very quickly why I don't like Volks' wigs. Also, the shoes they sent him with? They have to be made for Gru feet. I swear they'd fit my EIDs... On an SD17, they look like clown shoes. o_0

      Also, re: an earlier conversation... The inside of his head is *not* signed by the person who painted him.)
       
    15. OMG, Brightfires! He's awesome! Typical Volks photos did not do him justice at all. Congratulations!!
       
    16. @Brightfires: He's amazing, congrats on his arrival! :D
      Must be awesome getting a long awaited doll as a one-off! :)
      (Ah well, I do have one as well, but his faceup doesn't suit the character - still a special feeling though!)

      It seems like the faceup artists only sign the inside sometimes :)
       
    17. He is gorgeous, Brightfires! I really like that faceup.

      Bondage-y Holden returns, trying out a new wig.
       
    18. Here's the One-Off Alice. More pictures in my Flickr. ^_^

      [​IMG]

      Took her braids out, because they were failing loose, but she looks SO adorable! <3 SO HAPPY!
       
    19. Yay, owners pictures of one-offs started to appear! I'm glad to see them here.

      Brightfires, your Alain is just gorgeous! I think this mold is just under appreciated for some reason.

      And Emfy, Alice is so sweet! :aheartbea Major congratulation with her!

      I got my Tae on Monday, but just today found a bit of time for her. We came to say 'Hi' to everyone ^^

      [​IMG]
       
    20. Tetradeka, she's so exquisite! Her face up os amazing and she has such a coy look about it. I'm jealous. :) Must now try to save up for one hehe.

      And.. omg Ksusha, what a beautiful and elegant doll! She's lovely!
       
    21. Wow, I'm dying with all these beauties everywhere!
      Ksusha: I'm SOO happy that your Tae worked out in the end! :D She is just gorgeous.

      I've literally tried on every single wig in the house for my Tae, and nothing is speaking to me. Time for wig shopping!
       
    22. Congrats to everyone! I'm so envious but happy to see all the one-offs lol! And the taes! Because I'm waiting on my own xD What size wig does she wear? 8/9 or 9/10?
       
    23. 8/9 fits her great :)
       
    24. awesome, thank you. crobi has their preorder going on and i love their wigs so i'm looking to order for my girl. Please spam your Tae more to hold me over xD
       
    25. @Midori: I'm so happy for you! She's beautiful!
       
    26. Brightfires, Ceredyn is so gorgeous! Congratulations!

      Solitary Agent, Holden is handsome as always.

      Emfy, your Alice is lovely. So glad to see the one-offs coming home.

      Ksusha, your Tae is so lovely.

      Midori, your Lieselotte is so precious!

      My own one-off Michele, Buttercup, arrived today. I posted a box opening. ^_^ I don't usually do crazy box openings or videos, but when I do it is for a really special doll. :aheartbea Immediately after opening, I stuck him in the freezer and started to wrestle his default eyes out. There is still some glue in his head, but here he is pictured with some ED Milky #48's and a Leeke premium mohair wig (which is a lot like Jpop's regular fibers).

      [​IMG]My darling Buttercup by funnylori, on Flickr

      His head is so much smaller than I thought it would be from photos. I thought it would be huge like Kun, but it isn't. It is an odd 8/9 like my old Unidoll limiteds.
       
    27. Congratulations to everyone who brought home a One-off! WOW!!! They're all gorgeous! I couldn't pick a favourite. Thanks for sharing photos everyone!! :aheartbea For some reason I thought these guys had already arrived home. It seems like the draw was so long ago. haha

      @ FunnyLori, I've always used the Volks scalpel method dipped in a little bit of thinner. Never damaged a face up yet and the glue just pops right out like magic. I take some paper towel after and gently wipe the inside eye well to take out any possible excess. Works like a charm for me. :)
       
    28. It's so exciting to see the Volks USA one-offs coming home~ &#9829;
       
    29. Yay! More one 0ffs! They are all really special and it's cool to see what people are doing with them.

      Here's another of my Aluriel (tae). I really like this wig on her. I might actually leave it! It's a nice color. Still looking for the right eyes though, these are no good :(
      I hope you're not bored of the same wigs/clothes that my newer dolls get subjected to. :sweat

    30. OMG! the One Offs are amazing! but I gotta tell ya, Tae has stolen my heart O_O
       
    31. w00t! More of the One-Offs! :dance:

      They're all gorgeous. Seriously. Every one of them that's been posted so far has made me grin. Volks did a really great job on this bunch.
       
    32. He looks great as a blonde, FunnyLori!
       
    33. That wig is lovely on her, Tetradeka!
       
    34. Wow, today here are even more one-offs! Thank you for sharing them!

      largowinter, FunnyLori, thank you!

      Tetradeka, thank you! :hug: I'm still thinking of what I really want to see from my Tae, so I also need to do some wig shopping and maybe something else ;)
      I love that brow wig on your, she is a very lovely girl!!!
       
    35. Ok so I was able to read some of the info Volks had about the online FCS and, from what they said orders will be taken from the 1st-10th of each month for dolls in their online FCS catalog and that orders may be placed only by people in the USA, Canada, and Mexico who have registered a Volks USA account.

      They haven't said what will be offered, how much etc, or when they will release this yet.
       
    36. Thank you for that, eleniel! It's nice to have some info at least, and the limited release period seems smart.

      It's wonderful to see the one-offs trickling in. So much gorgeous!

      Does anyone want to spam their new standard girls? I'm thinking of adding a Saki to my collection. :3
       
    37. Hooray for more one-offs! They all look so wonderful! :D

      I grabbed a quick shot of Cassidy with a real camera yesterday. Volks did such an amazing job with her faceup. :3
      [​IMG]
       
    38. She's gorgeous :)
       
    39. Congratulations to all the one-off winners and to everyone posting photos of their Volks! Our Suigintou arrived today, and I managed to get one in-focus picture of her. She came with "Tae" orginal wig, and it was not easy to get on, reallly tight and I don't have any wig holder to keep it from popping off. Face-up is by Ciera and I expect to keep her default eyes, but I will have to go wig hunting in my wig stash for a better fitting wig.

      [​IMG]
       
    40. yay the one offs are here! they are gorgeous! congrats again to the winners!! i'm glad we get to see them :)
       
    41. It's been awhile since Last time here and I saw so many beautiful one-offs! Congratulation!!! They're truely beautiful and handsome *//////*

    42. :dance Congrats on the new arrivals everyone. I'm still waiting for my little guy to get here, I hope the UPS lady comes soon.
       
    43. All your Tae so beautiful! :love
      My Tae went from Japan on June 13. But in Russia, deer-mail. Not otherwise.
      I'm still waiting for her.
       
    44. rianne, well I don't have any of new standard girls but I did make pictures of them at a Convention. Here is Saki:

      [​IMG]

      St. James, she is beautiful, congratulation!

      Lisianthus, Suigintou is gorgeous, you are very lucky!
       
    45. So many beautiful dolls! I would like to see more Tae's if at all possible! Congrats to all One Off the winners!
       
    46. Congratulations to all the lucky owners of new arrivals!

      St James, Cassidy is drop dead gorgeous!!

      Tetradeka, Aluriel looks beautiful! That wig seems to match her eyebrows perfectly.

      Midori, your Lieselotte is so adorable. :aheartbea

      And Brightfires, I'm glad you finally got your Alain after so long. Is Ceredyn wearing all his default things?

    47. Heres belldandy. xD
      Something about her face shape makes me love it so much xD
      but i cant quite tell what it is lol.

      [​IMG]

      I keep checking for the new girls on the website xD Can't wait~

      Im really happy to see people posting their one-offs~
      Tae is so wonderful~

      and suigintou~ so gorgeous~ XD
       
    48. Congrats! I entered for Suigintou, but I can see that Fate put the dolls where they belong. She's beautiful :)


      SDink- You probably don't mean more of MY Tae, but I just can't get enough of her either. So here is one more for today and we will call it mission accomplished :lol

    49. thank you Tedradeka. I hope Volks will continue to have more lotteries for one-offs , and that your Suigintou finds you. Also, that Volks will re-release her sculpt for another limited.

      I love the photos of your beautiful Tae. She is so lovely and special. Makes me wish I had tried for her on Volks USA but , another time. Please keep posting photos of her. I think she is a treasure! - Barb in MA
       
    50. He was, indeed.

      He has on a different wig now, and I'm debating getting him a pair of slightly darker brown eyes, but for the moment he's still in his defaults.
       
    51. FunnyLori, Burpieez, galatia9 -- Thank you so much! :)

      Tetradeka -- Aluriel looks amazing! I love her wig and outfit. They are so stunning! :) Makes me want a Anais/Tae again. (Must resist the urge!)

      Lisianthus -- How interesting that your Suigintou came with a Tae wig. Lieselotte came with a "Kurumi-styled" wig. :P

      Oh, when I picked up Lieselotte from the Volks USA office, Hideyoshi Shigeta mentioned that he carefully chose these One-Offs for the web event and made sure they didn't end up at another Volks store. He was also proud and happy that many people entered the One-Off lottery, making it more successful than they expected. Go us! :D

      This is my Musetta, a girl who's deeply in love with music~ :)
       
    53. Congrats to everyone welcoming home dolls! It's so much fun to see everyone's gorgeous creations and new additions to dolls families. :) My Bianka came home the other day and I thought I would share a pic of her here. My camera doesn't even begin to capture all the detail in her face-up. She's got the best face up I have ever seen- only Una has come close. she has darling lip lines and really detailed eyebrows. Maybe someday when I acquire a better camera and some decent photography skills I'll be able to share those specifically.:sweat

    54. She's beautiful, Nakita! :D She looks like she has dark enough eyebrows that she could pull off a darker wig too if you ever wanted. I was curious what they were like under those bangs, couldn't tell at all in Volks' pics.
       
    55. all of these one offs are even more gorgeous in person ><!! congrats again to all the new additions to your families :D
       
    56. Yea, I'm really loving the Tae's too. I think the Graffitti body really changes her overall look. She's so thoughtful and beautiful.
       
    57. More Tae? I can't wait to have the weekend to play with this girl.

      [​IMG]
       
    58. Tetradeka: Of course!...lol thank you so much! I am so bummed I did not jump on her now :(

      Coco_Weng: Such a lovely girl, I just love that photo!

      nakitaninja: She's so sweet!

      MilkyTea: Oh I just love her! I put in for her, luckily I can see her still! congrats!
