Volks YoSD and YoTenshi Discussion part 7

My favorite girl for the new thread:

Topaz at Gumps by clochette62, on Flickr

 

I need to charge my camera up so I can post a picture of my Mimi named Pumpkin in her new outfit.......since it is raining and gloomy here now I have to wait until the Sun comes out tomorrow.

 

Clochette, that is so cute.

So, I was taking a few photos of my girls a while ago, and guess what I see when I turned back around...
Miss Jealouspants.

 

Okay, thanks for that...I now have that song stuck in my head............sigh..........quick, people, post LOTS of spam to drive it out, okay?

Thanks Cathy...poor kitty was jealous of your angelic trio and wanted her place in the limelight, eh? They're all adorable.

 

clochette, Topaz is so cute, I very like Chinatsu

 

Woo-Hoo ​

A New Thread for the New Year! AND a new thread means recycling old photos…

by Mandasmac, on Flickr​

This little one was named Randon, after my best friend in grade school. The real Randon moved away in third grade, and my Yo-Megu moved to Italy several years ago. Sometimes I look at these old pics and wonder what name her new Mama calls her by…

 

hahah, I don't know who is cuter here. Cat's are consistently so bad and so good. I love those little dresses.

 

Luna's first proper plane ride - she got her own seat!

 

Hi, I'm new to Volks dolls and my first gal arrived today. She is Anne from the 1st Version. It was such fun going through my clothing stash to find her the right thing to suit her, but we finally found a little jumper and went from there. She's tending towards the younger mode, so we will have to do some shopping as this was the only outfit that really suited her.

I have Teru on layaway, so someday she will have a brother; but for now she gets lots of attention. It was interesing in taking the photos that her hair color changed according to the angle of the camera. More photos are in my Flicker album.

And a cute hat it is! Loving all the pretty spam I'll add another to the page, my Eden....I don't see Shizuku very often.

I love Shizuku, and you're right, you don't see Shizuku very often! That little face can look so superior!

 

Oh! She has personality! She has the look of "I know I am right. No matter what you say!"

 

Talking about not seeing one too often, here is a yosd lillie, Changed her wig and character and love her a whole lot more ^^

Sooo much better! Now I've changed her wig as well; just switching wigs and clothes makes a HUGE difference. I'm in love all over! #abjd #dollsofinstagram #volks #volksdoll #yosd by until_fullmoon, on Flickr

 

Very cute! I still need to add a Lillie to my group, the standard version just seemed so "antique doll" to me. I like your version much better.

 

I like Lillie and Eddie-- they have this kind of old-young wise-gnome look about them. And that frank gaze they have is so cute. : [MENTION=7141]Ballet[/MENTION], I like your Lillie's short boyish haircut! It seems to make her look energetic.

 

Anne got a new dress, with tights. I'm not usually wild about pink on my "girls", but I thought this outfit would look good on her and it does.

LittleBitGal, sometimes a girl just has to have something pink! And being a Spampy dress is icing on the cake -- love the applique on the front.

 

Thank you beamlette, I love Spampy clothes! She does such a great job on them, no matter what size the doll.

 

Can I get a squee?
I entered my first ever Volks After Party event (DollPa 32)... and I won!
I didn't get my first choice but I still won! I can't believe that it was my first time and I won!
Yo-SD Girl & Dollfie® Friends☆Yo-Nui “Megu & Komame -Super Dollfie® 15th Anniversary Version-”

Now I have to starting thinking about her character. I honestly thought my next kid would have been a big one.

 

A big *squeee* for you, originalcyn! Congrats on winning that adorable Yo Megu and her tiara! I think she'll let you know her character -- that's been my experience with Volks' Megus of any size

*sigh* I put in for her, but haven't gotten any e-mail yet...

 

I just adopted YO Elena so I'm really excited about her so I was wondering if anyone has any Elena spam to tide me over while I'm waiting for her to come home. Thanks

 

Hi everyone I am still pretty new to here... I want to introduce my Volks YoSD Colin ^_^ His name is Maro~~ His cheeks are very chubby~ He loves hugs and kisses >3<
Nice to meet you all~~

Elijah~ your Kanata is very cute ^_^
originalcyn~ Congrats~~ none of my lottery won ; 3; .... I guess that can help me save some money
Yurikun~ I have a YoElena too >3< She is so cute but I have not develop her character yet~~



I have a question but not sure if I should ask in this section... I want to put my YoSD into a hybrid body and I was thinking about SQLab's KSG-L body... does anyone have reference pictures for me to see if the head is suitable for the body? If not, I need to consider the KSG-Ac body ; 3; Thanks very much~~

 

Honeyrainamrita- thank you Maro is really cute too-- I love that little smile!

 

Welcome to the thread, elijahfeathers and Honeyrainamrita! Your Yos are just too cute!!

 

Hello everyone ^^

I'm new to the YoSDs, having been away from the hobby for several years. However, I decided to fulfill one of my doll dreams, which was to own a YoSD. And now I am hopelessly addicted. They are so adorable!

The first YoSD I adopted was a Volks YoTenshi Yayoi. For some reason, it was love at first sight with her, and I feel very fortunate to have gotten her at the time when I decided to get back into the hobby.


(She is wearing an outfit by Kalcia on DoA ^^)

I have named her Yumiko, although I think her Volks name is really cute too and use it interchangeably. I have since adopted a few others (Yumiko, what have you unleashed?!), although my boyfriend keeps telling me that I should get them a mother first xD However, Yumiko always makes me smile when I look at her, and I consider her the most special. I did not create a character or personality for her, and I feel more like I am getting to know this adorable little girl. The only thing I decided to try with her was to let her have fantasy-coloured wigs, which I previously did not do for my other BJDs.

Since I'm still relatively new to YoSDs, I've found the information on DoA very helpful. I hope to befriend all of you fellow YoSD owners ^^

 

Welcome Nilu! Yumiko looks very sweet in the pink hair!

I see what you mean about Yayoi, that sweet smile makes me smile every time I see my little Mika as well!

I got a photo of Mika the other day together with my Alpaca prince
I think they go well together with their lace
Mika and the Prince! by Motiko, on Flickr

 

Thanks Motiko ^o^ Your Mika is adorable~ especially with her alpaca prince! x3
I really like the combination of her purple eyes and dark hair ^^ I haven't been bold enough to try removing the hot glue from my Yayoi >n< I suppose I should get around to that eventually, when I find a guide.

For now, I just have her (and her siblings... I haven't gotten round to naming them) sitting on my desk, so that everytime I feel stressed with work, I look at her/them and feel better xD

 

Well I received noticed that they charged my card, followed by the shipping notice two days later, another two days later the charge finally showed up on my card! I was worried there for a moment. Looks like she shipped on the same day as an non-doll item I ordered from Canada. We'll see what gets here first!

Side Story: I once won two non-doll items on ebay on the same day. One from the US, the other from Japan. They were shipped on the same day... yet the Japan item arrived first! The race is now on for my Megu and the non-doll item!!

 

Thank you!
Her eyes are actually the "rosewood" from Volks, but I guess they do look a little purple in the picture.
Thankfully Mika's eyes were already freed from the hot glue when I got her

Glad to hear the little ones help relieve your stress! My favorite to plop down on my desk is one of my SDs, I guess for the size

originalcyn, let's hope she ships quickly then!
When I got my Yo Isao from Volks I believe he got to me in a week, so pretty standard

 

I just saw the new chibi dress outfits from the next Dolpa! I hope I'll be able to snag the pink one (at least!) for my Suzuna, it's so cute!

 

She has arrived!

Congratulations on your queenly little Megu! I didn't realize that the Komame was the same size as a Yo-SD... that's a big cat. xD

Here's Nava saying hi, dancing on the couch again....

(Nava likes Megus because they have attitude. ^^)

 

Thank you so much about my Lillie, she does look old soul to me too, though I do want her more new age. I like her but idk, I like different volks yo compared to her, poor baby. I just bought her some new stuff and it should really make her pop! Like a hot pink wig XD let's see how that looks.

WOW! Congratulations to everyone who are just (re)entering, your dollies look lovely and congratulations on the wins! I just won a giveaway on Tumblr ^___^ so I understand the happiness of a win for dolly stuff lol. I can't wait to show Eliza off again when she is all decked out in her new things.

 

I thought I was a little overdue in sharing a picture of my YoSD Ayumu, Yuuya. So here he is!

 

Very cute!!!

More spam is needed...my seldom-seen Kasumi, Twilight

"I'm not that droid!" Mikkey's playing Star Wars:

 

Hi I just thought I would post a pic of my Yo Elena here. I hope you like my newest little girl! Her name is Rosalie.

 

Hello... does anyone know if Volks YOSD heads can hybrid with other companies?
Luts? Fairyland?

I love Volks YoSD but I actually can't afford the full doll.

 

Yurikun: Rosalie looks adorable! I love that outfit x3

lavandula: I am pretty sure you can match them with other similar sized bodies. I came across another person on DoA who got a slightly more mature body for her YoSD. I can't remember the company though >~<

 

It all depends on the color. I know you can hybrid them with Momocolor NS...I have one of my Momo heads on a Yo body, and the color works well. They have 26cm and 29cm "mature" bodies.

 

Thanks a lot.
I actually don't mind too much about the colour, I just wanted them to physically fit.

 

lavandula: Are you familiar with the photo-sharing site called "Flickr"? You don't have to be a member to do a photo search.

Some head-comparisons that have been tried are, MomoColor:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/queen...H8J-bdLj84-eSorq6-bszrQy-7JPmq7-eB5APL-6DBXy7

Also, Bluefairy, AI (Customhouse) and Minoruworld have worked for some people - sorry I can't find the photos right now to link to.

⬇︎ A Friend of mine from Meets has used a Peapod Mermaid body for their Volks Yo-Lillie hybrid, maybe a Peapod human body would work too? My Lillie is on the right:


Comparison #2: by Mandasmac, on Flickr

• Be aware of what type of hardware each company uses to attach their heads to the bodies! Some companies use smaller or bigger S-Hooks, which might lead to incompatible holes in the neck.
• Some companies use an O-Ring instead, and may require re-stringing to change hardware, or creative problem solving inside the head.

My Ideal body for a Yo head is Fairyland: Their joint system is one of the most fluid and most attractive (no ugly corners sticking out anywhere)! And I have been thinking of trying a Dollmore "Narsha" body for my Lillie, since she looks a bit older than the other Yo's (before they started making mature Yo heads for the Midi bodies).

Unfortunately:
A.) Fairyland resin doesn't match Volks – but you mentioned that you don't really care about that,
B.) Fairyland doesn't sell bodies separate from their heads, although you can certainly find one for sale in the MP, or sign up for a "Group Order" or a "Split".
C.) Both FL and DM are more expensive doll companies, like Volks.

DoA member spindlewood has already posted a picture request for compatible Yo-Bodies, but she hasn't had many answers lately...

Good Luck

 

Yo-SD heads fit many other bodies, as Yo-SD satrted this size after all

I'd guess Luts Honey Delf would be very good, but I *believe* the Luts resin is a touch lighter.

 

Picture spam! Yuuya has decided my little Wing Gundam model is his now. Can't complain too much as the scale size is rather perfect.

 

Oh man I have some of those little Gundams. Nava has not shown interest in models yet, but I should go dig them up for him! Everybody should have a Gundam friend. How cute is Yuuya with his big sneakers and big hair.

I don't think Nava even gets bored, with or without toys... he can dance anywhere!

Thanks so much for posting the photos!!! Was there nothing on yo una?

 

A little Vali spam since this thread has been so quiet

 

So-- *trumpet fanfare*-- how about that Yo-SD Tsukasa & Yo-SD Shiro! : I was simultaneously dreading and anticipating this. xD I didn't guess that both of 'em would be released at the same time... looks like I have a lot of shelf-clearing to do all at once, because Nava does need both of his BFFs with him!

(link to decadentarisu's scans from the Dolpa 33 discussion thread)

Anyone else springing for the two Tokyo Chibis?

And, can anybody read very small blurry Japanese so we can see whether Shiro & Tsuka-pyon have the Long Legs body like Isao does? Their price is less than Isao's, but I couldn't guess whether that meant less leg-resin or just fewer option items (Isao had an extra wig, fancy boots, etc).

 

CathyM, as usual Vali is such a cool and cute little boy!

If I decide to go for any of them it's probably going to be Tsukasa!
Haven't decided though, we'll see how my doll plans develop

Couldn't see Tsukasa's details, but for Shirou it says "幼SD L-01" which would be the normal leg (and they both look the same height to me)

 

It looks like both of them are regular leg, which I guess makes sense since OG Isao had the half long legs that made him a little taller than the others.

I have a friend going to this Dolpa. Definitely going to bribe her to try and get Tsukasa for me.

 

Thanks, I figured as much-- if they had made Shiro & Tsuka the same height as Isao, that'd be OMG CANON VIOLATION!!1!!! And I sure hope they make the faces just as happy as Isao's, too, because OG Isao was always the serious one, but his Yo version is grinning like a maniac. (That Shiro needs to look at least as daffy as Sora.)

Good luck [MENTION=3679]Kim[/MENTION] bribing your friend.... I will be stuck scrambling for whatever chance we get to order them (they still haven't said anything about afterevents or USA lotteries) or else carving out a kidney to get them on YJ.

 

After owning my YoSD Kira for over four years I've finally figured out who she is. So glad I never gave up on her.

Anyway, here's my girl:

My Dolly & Me by Peppermint Pocky, on Flickr
​

 

I'm reimaging my yoSD Lorina, Sylvie-Anne! I just ordered a wig and a pair of makoeyes for her ^^ I'll post pictures once she's complete

Olivia is such a cutie! I love yoSDs with short wigs ^^

 

Thanks, [MENTION=30116]taintedrose[/MENTION]. What color Makos did you order for your Sylvie-Anne? I own a few pairs of their eyes and love 'em.

 

[MENTION=42740]PeppermintPocky[/MENTION] I got AM-017 and AM-013. I couldn't decide on a color so I got both! I like the Amaryllis eyes the best.

 

So much cute spam!! Been a few months since I ventured back into the BJD fandom with my newest YoSD girl in tow. Just as my funds have been recovering, Natalie from DollfieWorld posted on FB a few weeks ago of some new pictures from Volks' latest issue - as I've noted more in my blog entry.

I'm completely fangirling over chibi-fied Yo-SD Tsukasa! He was my grail doll, and I couldn't have been happier when I got him all those years ago. He's never been officially rereleased since his debut in 2003, so these photos have me in an excited/anxious twist. REALLY MUST HAVE PORTABLE TSUKASA FTW. If they also release him as an official SD17, and not a teaser... I'm screwed.

​

 

Yikes, sorry for the double post - should've read your post before I posted, but YES!! Springing like I've never tasted chocolate before! Leaping straight for chibi-Tsukasa!!!! Saw photos on FB a few weeks ago, and reposted it in my blog. Unfortunately, the photos aren't much bigger so I can't quite read whether they'll be normal legged or long legged. My guess is normal too. someone on here might have better eyes than me as I'm a four-eyed beast, so if anyone can see the tiny print it, please let us know!

 

Well, the official page (http://www.volks.co.jp/dolpa33/volks_sd02/) has been up for a while and both Shirou and Tsukasa have the normal length leg

 

Thanks [MENTION=25827]Sakuri[/MENTION] for those extra photos on your blog - this was the picture I was holding out for. Group Chibi Tokyo Boys shot!

Isao is properly taller and looks properly aloof, Tsuka has already gotten out of his uniform jacket, and it's terrifying that the cat is the same size as Jun. xD
