Hello and welcome to my website that dedicated to Super Dollfie. Hope you will like it !!
Super Dollfie (or SD) are made by Volks in Japan, a company that has been making high quality models and resin figure kits for over 30 years. They started with resin figure kits, etc, and then eventually moved into 1/6 scale "dollfie" dolls as well. Super Dollfies themselves all started basically when Mr. Enku sculpted a one-off a kind doll (SD size and style) for his wife. The doll used old stringing and ball-joint techniques that were developed at least a hundred ago in Europe, but the doll had a very expressive look and a bit more developed balljoints. (For more information on old-style balljoint dolls see Jumeau Tete Bebe, Gebruder Kuhnlenz and Schoenau and Hoffmeister. ) An executive director saw the doll and wondered if they would be made in larger numbers. The first Super Dollfie was made in 1998 and were Sara/Kira/Nana/Megu, etc (all with the same headmold of course). They are dolls, yes, and more. They combine the beauty of the Japanese aesthetic sense, and the companionability of dolls with the resin figure finishing and painting hobby to create something altogether new and wonderful.
