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 Gneiss- Birth of A Goddess

Mar 6, 2012

    1. I think they're running out of ideas for fantasy creatures xD I wish she were just a medusa

    2. :? But....she is just Medusa. Seems like Soom is starting out very literally with the "Legend" series, to the point that it kind of seems silly to use the classical North African story but then change her name to Gneiss.

    3. Especially since Medusa is probably in the public domain by now . I'm just relieved they didn't put an Epidos extension on Gneiss! (And maybe they felt they needed to keep the rock/gem motif going for her name).But someday somebody has to make a naga/Enchida doll! With a articulated snake tail. Hopefully for less than 1000.00 :)

    4. I do wonder how long it's going to be before Soom starts to run out of stone-themed names... although it's funny that they haven't actually used many of the best-known gems. Where's Diamond, Emerald, Ruby, or Sapphire? Too obvious? Or maybe they're saving them? :D

      fishcake: Not for sale, but have you seen this? It really shows the potential of that theme, I think. :)

    5. Uncanny Dream BJD Expo had a snake tail bjd in one of it's displays.
       
      #185 Milkyushigirl, Mar 11, 2012
    6. Logodae I have seen that..and I want one! Though I don't need the dragon-fin extensions, but the jointing is just what I would want.
      Milkyushigirl did you get to go see that? The pictures looked amazing, it must have been so cool to be there in person!
       
      #186 fishcake, Mar 11, 2012
    7. wow, I havent seen that tail before O.o Awesome! :D
      I agree with you fishcake, I to want soom to make a naga, that may even get some of my friends to start with BJD ;)

    8. Oooh. I think she's just gorgeous and wasn't going to hesitate to order her- but then I read in here that someone else was holding out for the SO Breccia as well... I'm now completely paranoid that if I order this lovely lady I'll miss out on an SO Breccia as well. Argh- what to do!

      I'll probably be joining the waiting room for Gneiss though - I'm not too interested in her fantasy parts, but her strong features are just gorgeous.

    9. Hiya everyone!! I'm glad to see there is a discussion thread for her!! I bought her last night!! I just couldn't resist!! I had planned on not buying any new dolls for a while and putting my doll funds into the dolls I have now but alas Gneiss had to come along and steal my heart! ^_^
       
      #189 marismg, Mar 11, 2012
    10. Yay! Now there are at least 3 of us ;)....so happy you decided to go for it!
       
      #190 fishcake, Mar 12, 2012
    11. Yeah, her face is very "meh" for me. I think SOOM should make more female sculpts along the lines of their most famous (like Dia), so we can have more gorgeous boy hybrids. And heads more like Saiph. That is a VERY desired head on a body that many think is just too big. So if they made heads more along THOSE aesthetics.... :eusa_pray

      I mean, that personally for me, I don't really like the looks of sculpts like Gneiss. I like the more detailed ones. Especially around the brows, I always love that!
       
      #191 Lycansea, Mar 12, 2012
    12. They can't do a mini-Saiph until Fall, at least. Soom has already eaten all my monies. ;)

      oooo, a Saiph Sphinx ..that would be awesome, though it's hard to type.

      Really, a Sphinx lion body shouldn't be harder than a horse body..and the legs are shorter!
       
      #192 fishcake, Mar 12, 2012
    13. Well, it's decided- she'll be put on a 4 month layaway tomorrow... YAY I'm excited <3
       
      #193 second_banshee, Mar 12, 2012
    14. Yeah one more!! I love her and I think she is so pretty and strong at the same time!
       
      #194 marismg, Mar 12, 2012
    15. She's incredibly beautiful. I wish she had fantasy parts apart from those snakes :\
       
      #195 Jannel, Mar 12, 2012
    16. Honestly I think the simplicity of her fantasy parts is refreshing. I myself am tired of SOOM claw footed dolls. I suggested to Victoria about little gem scorpions and she said she'd run it by the development team and to keep checking back. SOOM always amazes me and I am excited by them trying to improve their dolls and putting more quality into them. And their customer services and listening to their customers ideas is always top notch.
       
      #196 Milkyushigirl, Mar 13, 2012
    17. Yeah, I think so many of the improvements on the new body were from customer suggestions (like the resculpt of the hands). I'm pretty excited to see it in person!
       
      #197 fishcake, Mar 13, 2012
    18. I agree fishcake! I can't wait to see the new body either!
       
      #198 marismg, Mar 13, 2012
    19. Wewt- officially 'another one' now- I just put her on a 4 month layaway that will probably be paid off in 3 months. With faceup, and the extra type body because I want her to be able to hunch up!

      And I'm with Milkyushigirl on the fantasy parts- it IS a nice change to have something a bit less extravagant, yet still out of the ordinary.
       
      #199 second_banshee, Mar 13, 2012
    20. yay second_banshee! I think we will be glad we bought the Extra body--the pose photos are so cute!
