Missing Volks 1/6 Peices?

Barbie, Jenny, Fashion Royalty, Obitsu and 1/6 resins - basically anything 10-12inch/21-27cm or in the neighborhood.

If you don't mind me asking, what's keeping you from replacing the entire body?

I want to say you can switch hand pegs with others in the EB line. You can Franken the EB line with a screwdriver. Try wrapping a rubber band around the neck peg and see if that holds, a couple of my girls have tape in them.

Sometimes you just don't want to replace an entire body unless the joints are really really floppy and it's just not holding up, and Volks aren't cheap if it's even possible to find the same body. They've discontinued a better part of their 1/6 line.

Truthfully? Sentimental reasons. I have my memories of getting her on Christmas and being so excited, my first (horrible) faceup.. Ect. She was my first. Now I have other dolls, mostly Mattel brand Barbies and Monsterhighs but, yeah. I also had painted her body with tattoos and I'd like to keep that the same.


Volks Dolfies don't come off as expensive at all to me since I'm coming from the resin realm where anything less than $100 is cheap, but that makes sense. As for the question, I still don't have a Dolfie of my own, so I fail a bit as for help. :oops: Though, DollyKim's got good suggestions.

Looks like they still have some Beauties if you want to replace her body. http://www.volksusa.com/dollfie-eb-beauty-model.html
