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.

    4. I sent Soom an e-mail asking these very questions: about how tan she is (especially compared to Volks and Luts) and if her tan skin is okay with exposure from the sun, etc.. I have a tan El at home as well so I can always do a comparrison when I get her. ^^;
      Once I get a reply I'll post it here!

    8. Well, reading the terms, I can get her. Yahoo! Funny, Gena was actually the first BJD I considered buying.

    9. anyone know how much she might be? I'm thinking of getting her too (layaway ftw!)
      I might be willing to sell her hat if I get her. (I dont really care for the hat)

    10. I'm gonna get her on layway! I was thinking on getting a smokey day gena but I'm realllllly liking this tan version. I love the pirate outfit. :3 She'll be my first Tan doll.

    11. Looking over the past fullsets/limiteds, etc. I would guess around $600. Sooms are not as pricey as some of the other companies I follow (DoD, Luts, etc.) and none of their Gem special dolls get too pricy.


      Yeah, I'm doing layaway too!!! Hooray for that!!
       
      #51 Snitter, Jun 6, 2007
    12. I'd buy that!! and the whole outfit if you didn't want it...I have a Gena so I don't need another...

    13. Man if I could get the outfit, I wonder how it would look on my sunlight f-01 (or if it'd fit for that matter...)

    14. Does she come with the tatoos? I really want her boots- they are wonderful!

    15. These pics are a little old, but at one of our Arkansas meetups there was a tan Godo and a Tanning Lishe. If you scroll down through this thread (there are pictures in several different posts), you'll see some examples of both in the big group pics in natural light.

      Hope it helps a little. :)

    17. Heya guys!! Got a response from Soom concerning some questions of mine:

      Hi Snitter,

      thank you for your interest in our doll.

      Your question and my answer:

      1) How dark is her tan skin? In the picture her tanning skin appears to be
      light. Compared to other tan dolls (especially Luts' Tanning El) how light
      is she?

      >> Her tan skin is as dark as our brown tan godo, aren and uyoo.

      http://www.dollsoom.com/shop/step1.php?number=2336
      http://www.dollsoom.com/shop/step1.php?number=1987

      it is not as dark as african people. it is Just tan-brown skin.

      2) How well does her tanning skin hold up in sunlight? I know some tan
      dolls will get damaged from the sun but I own a tan El and he doesn't get
      damaged at all. Do you know if your tan dolls get damaged from the sun?

      >> Our brown tan Godo was made one year ago, and he doesn't get
      damaged at all.

    18. AAH!! Thanks for the link to the pictures in natural sunlight!! What really helps is that the Godo is sitting next to a Tanning Ren, and I can say that AR's tan skin color is SO BEAUTIFUL and not chocolate dark at all, I'm so glad they look almost the same! Well, the Godo seems to be a little bit darker but not much :D:D

    19. Oh my.... those boots... :drool


      The whole outfit is awesome, but those boots are hot. I want a pair of them in me-size!

    20. Well, her base price is $610. BUT with all of the bells and whistles she comes to $874.
      Ouch. But I want her anyway
