Kushina Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) I have to pick up Neris from my custom and was wondering, if someone who owns her could check, if somewhere on her box or papers is a "Made in Japan"? (And could take a picture so I know where to find it?) New Dolls have it on the Box, but I coulnd't find anything on older Boxes and unfortunatley my custom won't accept the "Japan" on the Dolls Head alone. I would really appreciate the help! Thank you very much in advance!

baldylox Posted December 18, 2019 By "Nellis" do you mean Neris? From the Shining Hearts series? Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As for the box, there's nothing written in English that says "Made in Japan" that I can see anywhere on the box I have. Now there's lots of Japanese on there in small print that I can't translate so it *might* say it there. But the specific phrase isn't on there in English. It does however have Licensed by Sega and Volks JP all over it. 😉 Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cfx Posted December 19, 2019 (edited) Hey, if you want to find her on Mandarake you have to search for "Nellis" From there, I found a large picture of the box: https://img.mandarake.co.jp/webshopimg/02/00/286/0200268286/02002682861.jpg Which doesn't show anything, but... I don't have Neris, but I have the Ramen Queen, Takane Shijou, who comes in the same kind of yellow box. The bottom label as shown in that picture above, wraps around the bottom end of the box. On that part of the label, on the end of the box, in a lower corner, mine says MADE IN JAPAN in small text, in English. I would think that would be on the Neris box too. I couldn't find it anywhere else on my box. @baldylox, did you check that bottom end label? I forgot to look there myself at first and had to go back and check.

Kushina Posted December 19, 2019 @baldylox @cfx Thank you so much It is as I feared, she hasn't a "Made in Japan" on her Box or Papers. Fortunatley I had a really nice customs official. I took some papers from my other Dolls with me and it was enough for her that she had the "Japan" on her Head 😄 She was laughing about her co-worker not accepting it lol Thanks again for the help! I really appreciate it! 1 Dollfie Family: DD Emilia - DD Mashiro Mito (Custom) - DD Asuna Titania - DDdy Sasara - DD Kirika - DDH16 Tan - DD Rin Tohsaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I looked at ALL the text on the box and I even used my reading glasses along with a big magnifying glass so I could actually SEE everything. 😄 There is NO text anywhere on my Neris box that says "Made in Japan".

He really had Rei check for him. 2 The difference between Dollfie Dreams and Heroin? Heroin is illegal, Dollfie Dreams probably should be. “Empty wallets, full hearts.” That’s probably an apt description for the effects of DD addiction Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Singer Yuna Posted December 20, 2019 I’m happy you got lucky with the customs worker so Neris went home. (Damn it Volks, you should love these three words, why Neris hasn’t in her box...I’m now intrigued so I will check my Rise’s yellow box in search of them in a couple of weeks) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kushina Posted December 20, 2019 @Singer Yuna Thank you so much I think its only a problem for older dolls, I checked all Boxes I have and I could find the "Made in Japan" on all of the newer Dolls (On the Papers or Box or both) Its probably not a big issue for everyone, but my custom is really strict about it (due to the EPA/Economic Partnership Agreement) so no one is avoiding custom fees shipping their stuff through Japan. (Thats why it needs to be made in Japan xD) Dollfie Family: DD Emilia - DD Mashiro Mito (Custom) - DD Asuna Titania - DDdy Sasara - DD Kirika - DDH16 Tan - DD Rin Tohsaka Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
