Maintaining the Love when a company changes its style (Soom MD plus others)

While I haven't bought from Soom in a long time, I think it's amazing they can release new molds and fantasy parts every month, even if quality and a "sameness" of the face is questionable. Even if some are jaded with their current direction, there are many who still love and wait for those new releases, and many more who never experienced Soom's insane rise to fame with their first MDs, and find them still fresh.

Soom simply hasn't made a face that I must have, but that doesn't stop me from admiring owner's interpretations, and being impressed. I am surprised to find many of the sculpts I like/own from the first year of MDs, the artist is still there, making new sculpts still! It's interesting since I would have never believed that to be true.

Naturally companies are going to evolve, or your tastes change, or what have you. I use to be a huge fan of Luts/CP dolls, but now there are too much similarities in sculpts, and my own interests in more realistic dolls, prevents me from purchasing.

It can be tough when your favorite companies go a different route than what you prefer because it's like your best friend left you without saying goodbye, and suddenly they're releasing something that pales in comparison, but a company is a company and they have to survive the competition somehow. Definitely enjoy the dolls who represent what you liked best if you own them. They're still there!
