Date: 2/28/2005
Kyoto-based Volks is one of Japan's best known dollmakers. With a wesbite defaultly set to English, they have been trying to make inroads into the European market and will appear at a toy trade fair in Nuremberg, Germany this month. Opening in 1972, Volks first tried their hand at the plastic model business. Their doll line of Supardolfe has been a big hit and going strong for 5 years. VOLKS is exhibiting this line in Germany. A doll culture has existed in Europe for hundreds of years. Ten creators currently shape the product line at Volks. The company got a call from from a comics publisher upon announcing their appearance at this show, it's being said that the Japanese nature and style of these dolls may possibly allow it to ride on the wave of success that manga and anime have enjoyed internationally.
