Volks YoSD and YoTenshi Discussion part 6

Feb 21, 2013

    1. annnd my wait is over! Kanata has just arrived and he is even more adorable in person! i had some buyers regret just because i really didnt have the funds.. but i couldnt help it! and i'm glad i went for it he is extremely adorable and i think i would have regretted not buying him later :) sorry for the bad phone photo @@;

      [​IMG]
       
    2. He's absolutely adorable! Congratulations.... and, save your Buyer's Remorse for a purchase that won't keep giving you joy every time you look at it. :D
       
    3. Oh gosh, did you guys see how many YoTenshi are up for voting in the new Best Selection round? :O I'm trying not to get my hopes up that this could be my chance to get a Konomi...
       
    4. oh no. i did not see this and now i'm scared to look.. yos are so addictive its not even funny lol
      thank you JennyNemesis :)
       
    5. *pops out of lurking*:aninja:

      I received my Rinon today! I had been tracking her, and the way that the tracking updated seemed like the mail carrier had just left her on my porch without a notice. Which scared the crap out of me, because I wasn't going to be home for another six hours or so. So I drove all the way home on my lunch break to check. xD

      A notice had been left. :/ So I grabbed it and decided that I would drop by the Post Office after work today and see if I could get her then rather than waiting until tomorrow after work.

      I was not very fond of the eyes or wig that she came with, so I changed those pretty quick. I thought that she may work as a child version of one of my other dolls, so I put on a wig in the same color and said doll's old eyes in her. I can see it, but I think she'll need a new faceup as this one is a bit soft for the character.

      She's my first Volks doll, and now I'm really enjoying her. I was initially put off when I discovered that she was single-jointed and didn't have a torso joint, but after playing with her a bit, we're okay. :) Now I'm looking even more forward to my Elena from VolksUSA. :D
       
    6. oh Quirked she is adorable!! yay for more Yos coming home!! what brand of eyes are those if you dont mind me asking?
       
    7. Thank you! ^^ The eyes are Enchanted Doll ED #30 in 14mm, although they're a bit mellowed out as they're a few years old. Your Kanata is adorable -- he looks much cuter than the stock photos! :o *now wants ALL​ the Yos*
       
    8. thank you! and yeah they are adorable! its strange that some dont look as cute in stock photos then you see owner photos and fall in love @_@; then its onward to the hunt on the marketplace and websites to get your hands on one xD and to think i went from not wanting to own a yo, to owning two..
       
    9. Go look! And vote! XD
       
    10. Whoever says they are addicting is not kidding at all.>< I was looking through this thread and everyone's Yos are so CUTE, okay??T T I just got my first one a few weeks ago. She's a YoSD Elena.:) And I think(no, I KNOW) I couldn't stop at one. I am under their spell, just like many others. (_ _);;

    11. Wait &#8230; What?!?! I've looked on both the Volks Japan and USA sites, and I can't find it :doh Somebody please post a link&#8230;

      Quirked: Where did you get that wig? Did it come pre-styled in pony-tails?
       
    12. Big congrats on all the super adorable arrivals! :D

      RibbonFiend: No kidding, I have two, but I feel like I need more of these cuties! :aheartbea (oh and btw, your Elena made me consider getting one for myself ;))

      GoodbyeKitty173: Here's the link for the voting :)
       
    13. http://www.superdollfie.net/dollfie15th/bs_en/

      And here it is again for those of us who prefer to memorize urls instead of searching through the big-dolls discussion thread every time. :XD:

      The Clothes & Shoes voting has 2 tabs... I actually missed the shoes tab first time around. I voted for the white Yo-SD geta (there were only 3 pair of boys' shoes total and only 2 of em were goodlooking ^^).
       
    14. Please do get one~! I'd love to see more YoElenas!:) And I'd like to thank you also for that link, I voted already!X3 Ohhh mannn~ Yo-tenshi Tsugimi and Mika..<3 Plus the duckie sets!:o

      ....I also missed the shoes tab!XD

       
    15. Glad to see more owners' pictures of the Yos. Glad I got Rinon. It's a good thing some friends got Kanata or I'd wish I had gotten him.
       
    16. I got my rinon yesterday :) she so cute. here is a quick pic from mobile.

      [​IMG][/URL] Untitled by &#9829; Mels &#9829;, on Flickr[/IMG]

      and yes, Yo are so addictive she is my second yo and I keep thinking on getting Elena too <3 <3 <3
       
    17. I voted for YoSD Una and Kira and SD ver of Una as well ; ;

      And the YoSD afterevent lottery... I wish I didn't miss that cute Rinon ;<

      Mels, sooo jealous!! she's adorable!

      RibbonFiend, amazing photo! she is so cute! And I know what you mean, YoSD size is just so precious! I unfortunately have only Chika, but I plan on getting more! ^-^
       
    18. OMG! I voted for YoSD Una too!!! What a cutie-pie!
       
    19. I ended up voting for Yo Una, Yo Kira, and SWD Una...

      I really have a huge love affair with that sculpt and I don't even know why. I've had Megu as an SD AND a Yo and I sold her both times...
       
    20. Haha, I'm going to be the only one voting for Konomi, but maybe Volks will take pity on me and send me one just to shut me up~ /shot
       
    21. No, I voted for Konomi too.
       
    22. Well surely they can spare two, then! I wish they weren't so hard to find, it's such an adorable sculpt!
       
    23. Voted for both Hinatas and Tsugumi! I really would love a WS Hinata! ~
       
    24. Mels: Congrats on your Rinon, she's so cute! :)

      I keep voting for Hinata (:aheartbea), Shizuku and Mamu, though I highly doubt all three of them will be released :(
      Getting Hinata would be enough for now at least ;)
       
    25. I voted for Konomi and the Hinatas. :)
      Congrats on all the new arrivals! They're all so cute I can't decide which one I like best. ^^;;
       
    26. Omg, I can't wait for the ressuuuults! If Una or Kira will be rereleased, I'm doomed! XD
       
    27. RibbonFiend, congrats on your Elena. She's super cute! I love the way you posed her... :daisy
      Mels, congrats on your Rinon!! I really like her with that wig!

      And here's my Rinon:
      [​IMG]
      Ringo 4 by S o l e i l &#10047;, on Flickr

      I can't get over how cute she is. <3
      Oh and I voted for Mamu, NS Hinata and Una... A girl can dream, right? :aangel:
       
    28. That blonde wig is so cute on your Rinon! She's so cute, it pulls on my heart strings!
       
    29. Awwww so cute.
      Now I know that Linon looks great in blonde.
       
    30. There's so much miniature cuteness in this thread! :XD:

      I missed out on the Volks USA event to get Rinon, but I was able to find her anyway to bring home. It seemed like she was really, really popular... or they just didn't produce as many of her as Kanata and Elena. She'll hopefully be home in a few weeks :dance

      Crossing my fingers that all the voting means that Volks will re-release the popular cuties... I would do crazy things to bring home any size of Una.
       
    31. purplepaws, *squeals* she is soooo cute!

      ALga, dawwww, she has a wild hair, reminds me of Merida ^^
       
    32. Lolita, lavandula & ^kalcia^, thank you! I guess I'll keep her blonde though she looks cute with darker hair too.
      ALga, aww congrats. She is adorable. I love the beanie. <3
       
    33. Nava and his guitar led this weekend's wild dance-party bash on the couch:

      => http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...D-Isao-SDC-Arashi-amp-Ryu-JID-Ryan-amp-Colin)

      [​IMG]

      (I crossposted this in the SDC thread-- and it could also go in the JID thread-- Nava has a lot of roommates. ^^ Wild party!)

      Nava's new outfit also came with a leopard cat-eared hat, but it didn't quite fit into this photoshoot, what with all the bodies dancing on the couch at the same time. It's also incredibly silly. xD I'll take some pics of the full Panther Punk Set later, hat and all....
       
    34. I love that set! Mezu needs it someday.
      I was actually just thinking about it since I have my other Volks dressed all rock style and wishing I had something for the chibi warlord to wear so he could match.

      And of COURSE Nava was the head of the party
       
    35. Mezu would be utter perfection in this outfit. :fangirl: Even if you leave off the animal-cosplay items, it's still the perfect classic-style punk set! Hard to go wrong with an asymmetrical black longsleever + red-plaid bondage pants. But I have to admit the tail-chain-belt is a coup de grace.

      Nava also has one pair of plain black combat-boots that go great with this set, but they're standard-26cm-doll sized, not Volks... so they seem ridiculously tiny, next to his ginormous default boots... and he can't stand up in them while holding his guitar. xD So he kept his flame boots on. I didn't realize how dependent I've become on those oversized platforms to hold him up!
       
    36. JennyNemesis, that set fits Nava so well!! :D
      It seems like his life calling to be the life of the party! ;)
      (And yes, the leopard hat is adorably silly :laugh)
       
    37. JennyNemesis, thanks for showing the full set - so silly! :XD:

      Sharing a quick pic (= bad pic) I took of Naoto two months ago but never uploaded :sweat
      He was basking in the last rays of sun of the day :)
      [​IMG]
       
    38. Hello~ Just swinging by with some Yuuya (VOLKS YoSD Ayumu) spam! :D He's just so adorable! I wish I had more opportunities/time to take proper photos of him. :sweat

      [​IMG]
       
    39. The silly hat & tail are for a leopard, but we'll forgive the name Panther Punk because Leopard Punk doesn't have alliteration. ^^ Nava has kept the tail on.

      What an adorable sunshiny shot of Naoto! (I'm always a big fan of using venetian blinds for a light-effect. :D) Where did his cute plain black t-shirt come from?
       
    40. spindlewood, Yuuya is as cute as ever! :)

      JennyNemesis, I keep my blinds half closed almost all the time since I live on the ground floor and have relatively large windows :sweat
      That, and the sun gets in my eyes :lol:

      Actually I made his shirt. It was the first thing I'd sewn in quite a while and I had to do it by hand, but it turned out pretty good :blush
      I seriously need to buy some Yo stuff though :sweat
       
    41. Whoo! My Yo Rinon has shipped. So now her highness will have to share with yet ANOTHER interloper.

      [​IMG]
       
    42. Congrats!! I love your Tsugumi so much! I wish I could buy someday a little Tsugumi as well!! She would fit into my family so much! :D
      [​IMG]Gaufre, Jazmin, Kenya by Gigiholy, on Flickr
       
    43. I highly recommend the Tsugumi! She is the cutest. And your girls are adorable.

      And speaking of cute, my Rinon arrived today.
      Her name is Hinodehime, but we will just call her Cupcake for now :)

      [​IMG]
       
    44. Such precious girls! :D I love them all~ Congrats on receiving Cupcake, CathyM! :D
       
    45. My YoSD Elena came in! I have to thank Gigi Holy because without her my girl would have the wrong eye size. <3 <3 <3

      Quick pic of my girl who needs a name other than Trixie Lulu Bella Luna Moonbutt of the Cupcake Empire.

      [​IMG]
       
    46. More Elena spam! Please! She is so freaking cute!
       
    47. More you say!?

      [​IMG]

      Now that I have this girl I am chomping at the bit to sew more for her! I'm shocked at how much I love the origin body since usually one piece bodies aren't for me but it's just so cute! Her little belly button makes me giggle every time. :lol:
       
    48. My Elena arrived today as well. ^^

      [​IMG]
      Elena is home!
      by q u i r k e d, on Flickr

      Not her final look, since I just changed her eyes to some green blue (I'm indecisive lol) ones that I like better than the brown ones here. xD
       
    49. Both of your Elenas are so cute! :)
      I do believe Elena has taken a little spot on my wishlist... :sweat
      I'm curious; how well does the origin body pose? :)
       
    50. Yes- I'm curious about the origin body as well! I wasn't happy that that's the one Elena comes with. But I love her face SO MUCH!
       
    51. Motiko and Chehime: the body is not of my personal posing preferences when it comes to dolls in this size range, since I've been spoiled by Littlefee. ^^; The one piece torso and single jointed limbs aren't doing it for me. I find that I like to pose my smaller dolls, but my larger dolls I'm content with them just sitting/standing and looking pretty. Aesthetically, it's very adorable though! I'm on the hunt for bodies to hybrid with for mine. My Rinon is turning out to be a rambunctious little boy and I'd like some posing ability to go with that! :)

    52. The origin body isn't terrible as long as posing isn't a top priority. I thought I would hate it because I didn't like my SD 10 on the origin but then I realized I rarely use the middle joint on yos anyways when I did own an ayumu. She sits well and stands like a rock though? I wish she could touch her face but I'l just keep dreaming~ Overall the body is beautiful and that completely makes up for all of it to me. >_>
       
    53. Not even the newest body has doublejointed elbows, though. Elbows would be great.

      But I love the new body-- doublejointed knees, back-locks, shoulder-locks, bendy waist, this bod can rock out! Well, you've all seen Nava's rockin'-out moves before. :lol:

      [​IMG]
       
    54. The girl origin body poses better than some of the old jointed torso ones. It has the same shoulder and ankle locks as the new body. It does eliminate the wobbly body issue that sometimes happens if the doll is loosely strung in the old body. If one really wants super posing ability the sqlab body is a good hybrid alternative though their resin is just a bit pinky and may be an issue for those wanting an exact resin match.

      I do wish though that they offered the girls on the newer jointed torso as the back locks are nice. The single joint torso would make more sense if they offered cute kid bikinis for them.

      I got two new arrivals this week both of them need better wigs though. My rinon who I'm naming Versailles and a seitensihi named Dublin.
      I have to take a better picture of the new arrivals.

      In the meantime this is Ondine on an Volks Origin body with sqlab hands.

    55. All the YoSD Elenas are so precious! :)

      Yuuya is now an odd-eyed boy:

      [​IMG]

      I couldn't decide which color of eyes I liked best on him, so I decided to do one of each. The best of both worlds! :D
       
    56. Oh gosh, these are so adorable. I myself have been bitten by the Yo bug...
       
    57. orangediscord, Yo's are so cute! Owning a VOLKS YoSD was one of my dreams after seeing a YoSD Piccolo in person. I'm so happy to have my YoSD Ayumu! :D I really do recommend getting one. ;)
