Volks DearSD 43cm Discussion Part 2

I got my shipping notif for Elsa! I was in the middle of the Walmart doll section when I got the e-mail and I was screaming and giggling lol.

I was hoping the Volks USA restock would include their stock of Elsa/Anna! Yay

 

She's here!!!



Ignore her eyes being off-center, I opened her up quickly to pull out the hot glue while she was still hot from the UPS truck and haphazardly popped her eyes back in lol

I can't believe how sweet she is!

 

Awww, Elsa is so cute in that pink wig, @lunar-dream304 ♥

I have another DearSD in my home, and she's so very cute!

 

New DSD girls Nayu and Nao announced for a Sato release!
Dear Super Dollfie ～ディアSD、親愛なる貴方へ～ | 株式会社ボークス
天使の里 十八周年記念フェア
They kind of remind me of one of the Dollfie Plus 2021 faces.

 

Soooo cute! My poor wallet...

 

Pretty sure those are discontinued fcs f-07!!!!

 

Nayu and Nao are so cute I always liked the old F-07 head and in DSD size is just adorable

 

Hi everyone, first time posting here! I am in love with Nao

 

Oh, Nayu's eyes are so.. well, dear! She looks like she gives great hugs.

 

I'm glad there's a chance for people to get something very similar to old F-07!

 

Oh my goodness, those sweet, sweet faces just imploring you to take them home, they really are precious!

 

So I told myself I don't need any more dolls for a while until I got a much better look at the Frozen sisters here and finally caved since I didn't already have any SDC's in my collection. All I can say is that I'm SO impressed with them, I just adore the child like qualities they both have which includes the sturdiness and heft that make them so easy to pose, the thicker arms and legs, the SD sized heads with their beautiful face-ups including a light splattering of freckles each and the quality of their clothes are all exceptional. Also incredibly cute and child like are the extra pair of hands they both came with! I really thought I was safe but they're here now and I must say they are even better in person and I have zero regrets. I hope to find them some other outfits to wear at some point but for now their well made dresses are so adorable, especially their shoes

 

Congratulations! They are so cute!

 

Thank you so much Oliveoil, they are the cutest in person, I can't wait to take them out to the park for more pictures!

 

Be sure to post the photos!

 

@lunar-dream304, that pale pink hair really suits your Elsa!

@MilkyTea, Lieselotte makes such a cute DearSD! Also I love your comforter.

@Roweena23, your sisters are so cute! I agree, the DearSD's chunkiness is soo cute and appealing.

Here is my Elsa, Penny, with the hydrangeas that are blooming right now!

 

@Oliveoil As requested

@snowgray Thank you so much and wow that is an incredibly gorgeous picture of Elsa with those flowers in her hair! Indeed the chunkiness definitely adds to the immense cute factor

We finally made it to the park today so I took lots of snaps of the girls, I put a Volk's Candy Curls wig on Elsa and Lieselotte's wig on Anna and thought they looked pretty darn cute in them. They went on lots of fun adventures and seem to be naturals in front of the camera...they pose so easily, I just love them:



I have more pictures in the main gallery section: /threads/adventures-with-anna-elsa-at-the-park.857709/

 

Mine arrived on May 20th from Volks USA. I'm unfortunately in the midst of having to downsize my collection so I haven't shown my Anna off!
They really are super cute in person, but the sculpt itself is pretty different from Volks' more popular style of sculpts. My guess is that's the reason why we haven't seen many of the owners' pix.

 

Yes, I'm also surprised at not seeing as many of these adorable girls around myself, they really are incredibly cute especially in person. I actually gasped at how adorable they both are when they first arrived. I didn't enter for them in the lottery because I missed out but I did enter for the larger SD sizes (I went through a very long period of not buying anyone and now making up for it lol). I bought these SDC's second hand after seeing a couple of pictures of Elsa posted in this thread and couldn't take not buying them both Hopefully we'll all get to see more soon!

 

Yeah, it definitely seems like there are a few sitting on Y!J (Anna more so than Elsa) which surprised me.

I haven’t had much of a chance to take good photos of mine but I like them very much! My DearSD Aya (Tess) has taken over Anna’s dress (my Anna is becoming a character of mine named Akaya) and so she looks very much like an unimpressed lady in waiting for Princess Elsa

 

Nao/Nayu are not my personal doll taste, but man they're cute. I'm so glad they exist.

I don't have a DearSD, but I'm keeping an eye out! Some of the more recent standard model heads look even better on DSD than the standard bodies.

 

I had the same reaction. After being disappointed with the SDGr version* after waiting so long for the reveal, I entered for Dear SD Elsa on a stupid whim and immediately regretted it because "big baby" (this is what this aesthetic is called now right ?) or very child-like looking dolls really aren't my cup of tea.

Surprise, surprise. I won, so I planned to rehome her the moment she arrived. I opened the box and it was basically, an instant "Oh, oh crap..." moment. It was quite the contrast because my previous two Volks box openings were really so meh for me I put the dolls back in the box and haven't looked at them since lol.

But Elsa!!! She's so freakin adorable was instantly part of my doll family. Not going anywhere! I can't help it. I love Elsa and the sculpt really has both Volks and Elsa vibes. I also tried the head on an SD size body and it doesn't look any more out of place than any other big-eyed Volks SDs so . That being said, the DearSD body is pretty cute too. Definitely reminds me of the animator dolls from Disney but fancier. I still haven't seen too many pics of these girls around yet though and they're sooooooo cute!!


*(Have since bought the SDGr version because owner pics have convinced me she needs a big sister...)

 

@Turynn Oh she is just the cutest in those cat ears! I think these two girls are even better in person because I had that same reaction when I opened them both up, in my case when I opened Anna up first I had that open mouth gasp going on and just knew Elsa wouldn't disappoint too. I had a feeling when owner photos started showing up (like yours for example), I'd SO regret not buying them. I also just love the fact that they can both wear SD sized wigs, it's such a nice feeling knowing they can wear what I already have a lot of in that department. These two are definitely keepers

 

Some drive-by spam of my Mai, Holly!



Fingers crossed that Volks puts out some more of Nao/Nayu, because I haven’t seen many of them around.

 

Finally found my DSD Vanessa. Expecting her sometime this coming week.

 

Took this pic of my girls!

Una, Coco, Nico, Mai, and Vanessa

Room for one more...

 

I have another DearSD to add here~ I actually received her several months ago, but it was right before I was scheduled to move into my new apartment, so I didn't get to do any pictures until recent. I added a DSD Una to my little crew! Although I can't compete with your awesome crew collection @SaltedPretzel !

I named her Powder because she is so delicate and blushy. So lovely!


Also I had to redo my poor little Vanessa's faceup because my mom accidentally sprayed her with Windex on accident Preview of her faceup... now she must dry and restyle her soon~

Spoiler: DSD Vanessa Faceup

 

Shout-out to tipsy me for leaving a sniper bid on this DSD Coco on y!a Waking up to winning an auction was a fun surprise! I can't wait to join the SDS crew!

 

Powder is absolutely lovely! And I love Vanessa's faceup. Top notch!

Gooble gobble, gooble gobble, one of us, one of us!

 

Has anyone tried American Girl/Our Generation sized clothing on DSD bodies?

 

@nintendallie Yes, I've tried American Girl. They swim in American Girls clothes, unfortunately. American girls dolls are a lot wider and more robust than DearSDs.

 

Bummer, I've been collecting AG for ages so I have lots of cute clothes. I was hoping it would be a close match!

 

I have the occasional My Life As (Walmart 18 inch) success but usually for stuff that’s meant to be oversized like pajamas. If you’re willing to do alterations, the newer Disney 18 inch stuff in stores would be easier to modify down because they’re slimmer than American Girl or Our Generation.

I collect 18 inch dolls too! Prop sharing can be pretty cute. My DearSD look super cute with Mary Ellen’s turquoise sofa + pull out couch bed, I bought it for sleepover displays/photostories. Also Kit’s Rolltop Desk is very cute, but I generally have to put a cushion on the seat for a height boost.

 

My Coco is here and OMG she's absolutely perfect and I now understand the DSD hype.

 

Ugh I loveee actual mini super dollfies. They're so cute. Theyre just as detailed and beutiful as the larger ones but made to look chubby and cute. I wonder how heavy they are though?? Are these very heavy?

 

She's quite solid! Thick and huggable too

 

@nintendallie Your Coco is adorable! And I love the wig, may I ask where it’s from?

 

My latest baby, Mimi. I really love her in person! She does have a big ol noggin going on but I was able to adjust her wig after this photo.

 

@SaltedPretzel : Congrats on your new DSD Mimi! She is gorgeous!

I am so tempted by a DSD Sweet Dreams Chiyo on Y!J. I really wanted to buy her but I'm trying to exercise some self control right now. The cute kimono version fullsets will be the death of me.

 

Thank you! It's from Volks

 

@nintendallie Thank you! I might have to get one for my Una

 

@nintendallie
Congratulations on your Coco!
She's adorable and I hope we see more of her around here

@SaltedPretzel
Congratulations on Mimi
Those huge headed classic sculpts are the cutest!
Excited to see pictures of her adventures

 

I think they are a bit heavier in the weight department myself, quite hefty and sturdy

 

I did not exercise any self control and bought a DearSD SwD Chiyo on Y!J! She is a coordinate model with the Ichimasen fullset. The only thing she did not come with was her original wig, but I had an extra that I think fits her look well~ I named her Yasuko She marks my fourth DSD. I hope I can stop... but I really want a SwD Una or a Nayu if Volks ever decides to offer them again.

Spoiler: My DearSD collection together <3

 

Congratulations on your new girl! So much cute!
Love the group shot

 

@Chibi_Rat : Thank you so much! I see you have a DearSD Una too~ She is so beautifull! The DearSD line has probably become one of my favorite Volks lines. I love the proportions and cuteness! I can't wait until they have another release for us

 

I do!
She's basically become a Megu like the majority here though

Spoiler

Super excited to see what other sculpts get DearSD releases in the future but wish VOLKS would release more clothes for them too.

 

Clothes yes! I need more unisex outfits.

 

Yes, I would love it if they offered us more clothes. I did see in the latest Volks news there is a new outfit set they are releasing. Sadly it's not unisex though, more of a dress set.

Link to someone else's scans of the outfits being offered: 微博

 

DSDs are surprisingly addictive

 

Elsa's bonnet finally arrived after 2+ months of waiting! Just needs a petticoat for this coord to be complete I think, maybe a bag and some gloves too?


Haven't taken her out in a few weeks, always a joy to see her sweet blushy face

 

@lunar-dream304 She looks adorable.

 

@lunar-dream304 she's super cute!
I love her eye/wig combo and the bonnet looks fantastic on her

 

@lunar-dream304 : Her ensemble is so cute! You've done a great job styling her. Makes me like this mold a lot more than I previously thought!!

 

@Dybbuk, I love Yasuko! DearSD Chiyo is SOOOOO cute and I definitely want one of my own someday! She's gorgeous in red.

@Chibi_Rat, your Four Sisters household is perfection. I'm with you about more clothing options! I wish Volks would do an all-DearSD pattern book...

@lunar-dream304, the hair and bonnet combo on your Elsa is divine! The pastels are great with her dark eyes.

I come bearing spam of my girl Penny, who gives me cute aggression.

 

@snowgray : OOH ! I would love to see how you style a little Chiyo in your family Love your little Penny too! She also looks very vibrant and beautiful in red.

Urggh...the more I see of the Frozen DSDs the more I really like them... Now Volks is going to have that sale for all the Disney dolls I'm wondering if I should get one~ I don't know if another re-release will come after this one!

 

...wait... what?!

 

Yessss, they're on sale until end of the month on the Disney Japan website. 【公式】ショップディズニー | ショップディズニー

*Edit, I guess Pre-order is the wrong word, I believe it's until supplies last. Looks like Cindy and Punzie are out of stock already.
