1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Soom August Monthly Doll: Obsidius Discussion Thread!

Aug 3, 2011

    1. Just a random thought when I look at the teaser pic: Pegasus?
       
    2. I find the bottom lip is bothering me too as I think it makes him seem quite young - other than that he looks kinda pretty...I imagine he would look a lot better in black...with heavy black eye make up or something the like...Roll on more pictures! :)
       
    3. It seems like Obsidius is the male answer to Amphibel just as Migma was the female answer to Bazael. I don't think I will need him, but I can't wait to see owner pics! He would look great paired with Amphy though...*grumble grumble*
       
    4. I actually thought the same thing, when I first saw the name I figured it might be a grey/black themed something.. rather surprising to open the window to see white glowy he-man sword wielding angel boy *lol*
       
    5. According to Wikipedia....
      Obsidius was the commander of a Frentanian troop of horse, serving under the consul Laevinus in the campaign against Pyrrhus in 280 BC

      You may be on to something!;)
       
    6. whoa I love his face XD but I don't like Soom bodies >_>
       
    7. I personally love his lips, it reminds me a lot of uni-dolls designs. I like it cause its different and somewhat more realistic than a pouty big lip. It makes him look somewhat feminine though, but that might be a combination of the wig and face-up though.
       
    8. Obsidian isn't just black, but light or clear colors are more rare. It takes dye very well, I have an obsidian cabochon dyed blue.

      At least he doesn't that pillowy divot in his lower lip. . . those tend to bug the crap out of me. :doh I have to wonder just how much left-over Heliot wing fur they have. . . :XD:
       
    9. His face doesn't make me go "OMG WANT!" so I'm hoping I'll be safe... will have to wait for more pics. Very pretty though. I'm hoping those wings are like Heliot's, I'd def try to get them in a split if so.
       
    10. LOL! ....though I do like the Heliot wings :lol:
       
    11. He looks a bit like Epidos... is it just me?

      Either way, I'm not amazed by him so I'm safe to go and buy Iplehouse's Claude xD
       
    12. I actually thought he looks more like Cass. But I can see a bit of Epidos in him too.

      NEED. MOAR. PICTURES.
       
    13. Aernath if he's a Pegasus I am going to flip... but I don;t think enough to by him though. huge horse body is huge
       
    14. Also, why can't he have jointed wings? All the other MDs, including his female counterpart Amphibel, have jointed wings. Why does Obsidius have leftover Heliot wings?
       
    15. mmm I don't know, I need more pictures of him, at first I thought was a girl xd.... but I need those wings!!!
       
    16. That duck face. It's killing me with cuteness.
      I have no idea what I'd do with the guy as he does not even remotely fit any of my characters, but I want him anyways.


      Edit: Disregard; he does. Shoot.
       
    17. I will so need to nab a pair of those wings....I hope they will make a dark counterpart of him! I was so upset when they kinda did that with Migma and Bazael...I really wish they would have given Bazael a hollow head too...and I didn't understand how Violet skin was only like $20 extra bucks and grey was an extra $100!

      But enough of my ranting LMAO! I'm really drawn to this guys face. I hope he comes in other skin tones. I'm a sucker for unique mouthed dolls -pets her male Dia- <3
       
    18. I'm liking him a lot more this afternoon and think that with a different style he could become stunning! Hoping his basic price is fairly reasonable and wondering if he's going to come with some killer accessories...hope not as I will only want them...:|

      Fingers crossed we see something more tomorrow!:)
       
    19. Actually, we probably won't see more of him until Friday (Thursday morning) at the earliest. Sunday night/Monday morning at the latest.
       
    20. Yes, unfortunately it's not called a teaser pic for nothing! :lol: I was just super-wishful thinking as I'm quite impatient! ;)
