Hey Y’all, Someone asked me this and I don’t know - so figured I would ask here. What is the difference between a romantic Soom Dia and the more open eyes version? Is there any difference in the lips mainly. From photos I feel they look very different beyond the eyes, but thought maybe some here could fill us in x
@NoNoNanoon I can answer this! Romantic Dia's have a slightly parted mouth- you can see the top row of teeth, and a bit inside. Default Dia's lips are closed. Sard is an open-eyed, open-mouthed Dia with elf ears.
I'm pretty sure all Dia have parted lips, even Sard. Now, I don't own any and never have own any, but I was pretty into the sculpt when it first released by Soom, quite some years ago. I'm pretty certain all of them have teeth as well. I'm not sure if they are actually individually sculpted teeth, or just a hint of a separation between the parted lips, but I have seen OG Dia with painted teeth in the past. Not recent ones, so I'm pretty sure they all have parted lips. Not sure what the diffeences between the romantic one and the original one are, since I have lost interest in ever getting one since it became a popular sculpt then got discontinued a few years ago. (: Here I found a Dia from 2009 on Flickr, with parted lips and a hint of teeth. Not sure there are any clearer photos that show the teeth, but I'm sure that's not one of the differences between the romantic version and the original sculpt.
Usually, romantic versions of any model in Soom dolls come with slightly closed eyes for a softer, come hither, bedroom eyes expressions. Regular Soom dolls have more catlike, open eyes, and if a sculpt was originally designed/released with a more open eyed look, the sculpt's romantic version will come with half closed/half lidded eyes. I haven't taken a picture of my Romantic Mechanic Gluino lately, so I can't provide my own example, but I've provided some links to intagram pictures of the two models.
