"vintage" dolls.

There’s just something about those older dolls that tugs at the heartstrings. don’t you agree? I have so many banana, yellow and beauty green dolls in my collection. They give such a sense of nostalgia and they’re beautiful in their own way. Resin yellows
and time goes by but those feelings never leave.

 

Wow, now those are some ear options! Very jealous of the robot antennae

 

I saw that listing and I was like "no wonder I can't find any of the ear options for sale, this seller's been hoarding all of them"

 

Wow, I started collecting in 2004, and those Volks girls and parts were fairly rare even then! I don't know that I've ever seen a full collection of the option ears! That's so cool. I definitely love those first dolls as well.

 

I hope you enjoy your f-12 though! They're absolutely delightful to have around

 

Wow you really caught them all! The option ears come about so rarely, and so does F-12, congratulations on the lucky find! Please do show her off once she arrives, me and I'm sure all other old volks fan would love to see

 

There's something so soft and sweet about her face oml I love it. Please share how you end up styling her, she absolutely adorable!!

 

Congratulations, she is so precious! And, oh my god, the ears!!! I love and miss the old fairy ears options so much!!! You’re so lucky to have found such a treasure trove of them. I often check Y!J and Mercari for them but rarely see them. I wonder how the original collector managed to amass so many.

 

Congratulations on the new doll! She has such a cute face !

 

She's so cute! She just looks like a real, lil Persocom! Absolutely adorable.

 

Congrats on your new F-12 dolly. The ear options look so cool.
(I am obsessed with the cat ears)

I also have some interest towards early Volks BJDs. They don't look as realistic as newer dolls, but they have something charming in their looks. My latest purchase was an old Volks MSD F-18 and I'm loving her.

 

That is a crazy amount of ear options.

 

I love this. None of my dolls are as old as some of the Volks dolls, but they're pushing 15 years old, and I do love them and their super 'mellowed' resin more than the newer doll resin.

 

Vintage dolls are so cool, it's fascinating how designs have changed over the years! I'd love to get one someday, I don't mind yellowing.

 

Oh, magnificent!! Older dolls have this esthetic that just hits different. Congrats ♡

I enjoy older sculpts too, but they are more around 2000-2010 era. The oldest doll I own at the time is Volks F-28 from 2003. He's only one year younger then me hehe

 

I'm glad there's still love and interest for the oldies. Part of me worried that people would forget about them, especially since some of the companies are gone now and tastes have largely changed. It's good to see people getting into them now.

 

As someone who's still relatively new to the hobby, I've found that the oldies are actually my favorites. They just have a special charm to me
