Customer Gallery ~ DD Fashion Show!

January 27th, 2012

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is excited about the DD Gathering & October 2011 Items Release tomorrow!

Speaking of which, customers Archangeli and PlasticFantastic were kind enough to send us some photos of their DDs wearing a couple of the new outfits which are scheduled to be released!.

They were lucky enough to be able to get them through VOLKS International Website this time, so they arrived a bit more quickly than our release here.

That means that you get to see customer dolls modeling these outfits for you and maybe get a better idea of if they are right for your DD girl. We thank our two contributors very much for the photos.

We have two blog posts in this series this time, so please make sure to catch the next one as well.

They are both also modeling the new DDH-09/Idol Hands!

Please follow below to see more photos of these girls decked out in their new outfits!

Customer Gallery ~ J.L.’s Dvojnik!

January 25th, 2012

Welcome back to the Sumika Times!

Today I have something very unusual to share with you. Customer J.L. came in recently to use our photo space and brought in her newest welcomed SD, an SD16Girl Reisner whom we’ve seen only once before. She’s all made up and ready to reveal herself.

For those of you who might not know, Reisner was originally released as an SD17Boy.

Although we do not offer bodies or most parts separately, it is not too uncommon for very dedicated customers to work hard and take extra steps to get just the right look for their beloved SDs, so you might see unusual combinations from time to time.

That being said, meet Dvojnik! According to J.L. she is an elegant, mature girl

New Volks “Sokuchaku” — Low-Viscosity, Fast-Drying Glue!

January 24th, 2012

Hello, there!

Continuing on from my first post introducing the new Volks Instant Dry Glue (High Strength type), today I will be introducing the High Speed type! As stated previously, these two new glues are especially meant for plastic model kits and resin garage kits, so all you SWS fans out there, why not give the new Volks Instant Dry Glues a try?

VS Instant Dry Glue -- "Sokuchaku" (High Speed) type!

VS Instant Dry Glue -- "Sokuchaku" (High Speed) type!

The word “Sokuchaku,” which is the Japanese name for the High Speed type, is composed of the characters for “immediate” and “stick,” and that’s exactly what the High Speed type does: it sticks immediately! This is a thin liquid glue that dries instantly – its low viscosity makes it especially good for gluing small parts, as it provides great flow, an extremely fast drying time, and a strong adhesive bond. It’s also great for gluing clear parts, as it has been specially formulated to provide a lower risk of whitening.

Each pack of High Speed glue comes with 3 tubes of glue (each tube contains 2 grams), as well as 3 micro-nozzles, which can be attached to the tubes for extremely precise placement of very small amounts of glue.

I hope you enjoyed these small introductions to the Volks Instant Dry Glues! If I’ve managed to pique your interest, head on over to the item page for the High Speed type and read up on the restrictions and warnings — maybe it’s just what you’ve been looking for for your new project!
