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. Wow... I thought I was going to be safe this time after I saw the teaser, but I thought wrong. He's gorgeous! :D I want him but have some serious thinking to do, I really should -not- buy another doll this year. Those wings are lovely but so pricey. :( Just curious, does anyone know how much Heliot's wings/outfit was? The fantasy parts are... interesting... not sure if I want them or not. I can't decide which head I like better, normal or pointy ears. The names of this guy's parts amuse me so!
       
    2. Oh god, he's gorgeous!
      I don't have afford for the whole doll, so maybe I just have to look peoples owner photos of him and be happy that someone got him. :D
       
    3. Ditto that!

      I'm going to have to wait awhile before I can make a decision on him. But my credit card limit does go up a little this month....:mwahaha
       
    4. Obsidius is a lovely doll, i do like him but felt he was a hybrid of the other monthly dolls previously done,
      for example his ears, feet and hands are very chrom looking his wings look like heliot's. i know they have altered the parts a little and changed the eye area plus its hard to keep coming up with new ideas but i really feel that Obsidius is a remake of chrom with other bits of the monthly dolls added in

      as i said he is very nice but ive already got chrom so he is not for me! as they would be too similar
       
    5. Is anyone else having trouble editing their posts - I keep getting a message saying DOA not responding...?

      I like the backstory and that Obsidius and Bazael are old enemies that have previously fought together - I must find a way to re-unite them! Mwahahahaha!;)
       
    6. Maybe he is some type of Griffin - according to Wikipedia (again...) the Griffin 'denotes strength and military courage and leadership'. This fits in nicely with Obsidius's backstory of being 'appointed the Greatest Vala of the Valion Council...highest commander' (Soom).
       
    7. Bringing this guy home without hesitation..... I can honestly say this is the first time I have had one of those breath stopping moments and gone WHOAH..... NEEEEEEED AIR........
       
    8. You're probably pretty right about the griffin. He has feathered wings, claws and they do call his feet hairy rather than feathered. I wasn't sure about him before but he's just gorgeous. I think it's the wig and lace that threw me off. A grey, silver or black wig and take away the lace and I want him. Hubby's starting to come around. Don't know what happened - I bought my first Soom last month (Migma), then found a Unicenta on the market place, then went back to Soom and bought Violet, and then just bought Nephelin parts for a hybrid today and now maybe an Obsidius. I think I've been Soomed!!!
       
    9. LMAO Whitewolf.... Yeah I think its safe to assume you got Soomed!!! hehe

      He probably is a Griffin.... LOL at the hairy legs description though..... can anyone see actual hair sculpted there? We need someone to do a recon at the Soom store again.... volunteers??
       
    10. The term "hairy legs and talons" was very amusing to me aswell. :lol:
       
    11. They changed the teaser pic for a better one!^^
      Yeh, the wings, ears and hairy feet led me to think Griffin as he came across as some kind of creature hybrid!^^
       
    12. I love his face, going to get his head <3
       
    13. I think I just died a bit LMAO....... XD
       
    14. A promise is a promise....

    15. I loled hard there :lol: Still have to wait till my salary is there and then I might be getting him. :3
       
    16. Bwahahaha GreyLOL......... That is pure WIN!!!

      So off to CafePress to get me a t-shirt now hahaha
       
    17. omg, Obsidius is so good looking and love everything about him. Funny hairy legs

      Soom is killing me for sure T___T. First Shale then Nor and now Obsidius, I don't even know how I can get the money to pay them off. Maybe I need to try to rob a bank to afford new coming dolls from Soom ^^
       
    18. Glad I could make you laugh :)
       
    19. :O What a handsome man. Bravo Soom! If I had the money I'd be severely tempted, although to be honest I feel the same way about Iplehouse's new Claude, and I reckon he'd win out... plus his order period is a bit longer >:) he is gorgeous though, he has that kind of gentle pensive look similar to Cass, but also the broodiness of Hyperon. And he's NS! Yay. I always fall for the sparkly angelic ones haha.

      I really want feathered wings like that for my Epidos, to be honest I was gonna make them though, and they'd probably fit with magnets/discrete harness of some kind, with less... marabou :S but these would do.
       
    20. YES. Pfft~ Awesome!
