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 Idealian 51 Discussion

Mar 4, 2011

    1. What a great looking suit!
       
    2. is this of use ? the Phonolus tawny skin is very close to Bronze, a very little redder/lighter :)

      like with most tans - hard to photograph true colour and changes in natural/artificial light too >_>
       
    3. Yeah, I'm paying Cuba on layaway too and I really don't realistically expect to see him till March, haha. Soom wait times are sometimes unpredictable from what I've heard, so I had hunkered myself down for a long wait before I ordered him. It seems like they're a bit behind on their Idealian schedule though-- can't wait to see what they come out with next!
       
    4. Well, they caved to our wishes and are releasing Hornblend with a human body. So they will have an Idealian 51 on the Soom Gem site!
       
    5. Hey Nancy - I just saw this. When will the human Hornblend be available? The current sale period is over on 1/11. I really like his face and he would be a good companion to my Tamir. Does it say anywhere on the Soom site that I might have missed?
       
    6. Yesterday the Soom jeans and shirt set came, so here is a picture of Tamir wearing them - the jeans are not as tight as I like them on my guys, especially when they have something to show, and the belt was waaay huge but I can cut it down. But it is a nice basic outfit while he waits for Lazy Guardian to sew!

      But this small detail pissed me off: The stud on back pocket came off before I even had the pants on him - the studs are glued on! Luckily I caught it before it hit the shag carpet.

    7. He's up now!
       
    8. I love the jewelry that comes with the set. The fit isn't to my taste either (I also bought a set) but I'll take anything at this point since clothing selection is fairly limited. D,:
       
    9. Hey, tangier--I'd sure read the romance he's the cover of. ;)
       
    10. Thank you Ann in CT! If you want to see more, and I mean more, of Tamir, please check out my Flickr - name is AncientOranj. I don't know how to do a link here, sorry. Yes, I am totally in love with this luscious guy - hold him and pet him a lot. He likes to be told he is gorgeous, but he is not conceited!
       
    11. Hey, just an FYI for anyone looking for other heads for these boys, the "MSD-sized" DIM MNM heads seem to fit well on the Idealian51 bodies (I think they are intended for 50-60 inch bodies, in general), although it changes the feel of their proportions. With the SOOM head, the ID51 guys seem ridiculously buff, but with the DIM head, they seem like they're a little more balanced, in my opinion. I'll try to get pictures soon, but my doll is not fully strung yet... :)
       
    12. Interesting! I've ordered Cuba to be the companion of my Bambicrony mini, but I'm not sure how the proportion of his head/face will work with her until I see him in person. Ordering dolls for other dolls is such a cr@pshoot sometimes if you can't see them together before you buy.
       
    13. Hi there! Today my Cuba arrived *____* It's the cutest and at the same time sexiest mold I've had so far XD Welcome home Alexander!

    14. Oh, he's wonderful! I'm sooo glad I ordered him too. Congratulations!!
       
    15. I'm so glad too *__* Hope yours will arrive soon too!
       
    16. Before I read through this whole thread, does anyone happen to know the wig size for these guys? Is 7 too big? I have a drawer full of eyes so surely I have some that will fit, but will have to order a wig.
       
    17. Mine is wearing a 6-7" wig from Leeke and it fits perfectly ;)
       
    18. Great! Thanks! (off to hunt)
       
    19. Congratulations! His face is even cuter without Soom's face-up on him.
       
    20. My Cuba came yesterday! :D Man, he's hot. Atm he's just stolen some of my SD's clothes, including some fantastically circus-like striped tights and tunic. He seems to fit the tailored jackets I made for my Shiwoo elf, albeit with the cuffs pushed up.

      He's also wearing some snazzy JID boots. They fit juuust right- maybe a little more snug than i'm comfortable with, but they fit. :3 Pics later when I get some time. n.n;;
