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.

    2. Well, I just ordered a normal skin one (I have said "no more doll before Christmas", but I wait for one of these guys for so long ! :P)
      I hope Soom will propose some steampunk or victorian outfits for this size in the next months.

    3. Zinc is now Blood Demon and there is a picture inset showing his human ears.

      Oops! That's Bond Demon! I was working on my little baby laptop!

    4. Anyone else here getting a Zinc Demon? I have started a waitingroom for this handsome boy now.
      He will be my first doll in this unique size, I'm quite excited now. But looking at all your pictures of ID51 I'm sure I will love him so much!

    5. Hi - doesn't anyone else here have an Aspen? Would love to see some others. So I am gonna show a picture of Lenardo with his new look - just cuz he is such an under-represented ID51 sculpt .....

    6. Aspen looks great! He is one of the ones I skipped. I keep telling myself that I can't get them all!

    10. I have just today picked up my handsome Zinc from customs and unwrapped him. I am quite happy with him, but I have a question to you Idealian 51 owners. The left shoulder socket looks paperthin. Also the joint socket itself is not smooth like the right side but full of grooves. The shoulder joint doesn't seem to click into place easily too on the left side.
      I tried to capture it on photo, but it's quite hard to see, despite strong contrast. Can you tell me if that is normal for an ID51? I have only an ID72, and he's perfeclty symmetrical and smooth.

      As it is I'm a bit wary of stringing him because I'm afraid the socket will break. I have the suspician that there wasn't enough resin the mold, but I thought I'd ask here first.

    11. I haven't had that particular joint problem with my London, but I do find the resin to be quite thin in general. That said, I haven't had any issues with it (although it's only been a year and a half), but I've been very cautious with him because I was aware of it.

    12. My Zinc isn't like that at all! His shoulder is normal and smooth. I would send the pictures to Soom. You may need a new shoulder piece.
       
      #352 nancy_schroeder_ca, Apr 12, 2013
    13. Thank you for your replies!

      Well, I saw too that the resin in some parts is really thin, Hervoyel, but somehow this shoulder socket doesn't have a finished look to me.

      I suspected that, nancy_schroeder_ca, thanks for the confirmation. I just wanted to check with you guys before I bother Soom. I'll post on their board and see what they'll say about this.

       
      #353 Ophiaca, Apr 13, 2013
    14. It's been months since Soom released Zinc but during their first few years it seemed like a new Idealian51 came out every few months. Soom hasn't changed the vampire girl on its Idealian pages since the Christmas event and there's no word of a new boy in the works. Do you think Soom has finished producing the 51s? I only have one boy and I'd like to add another someday.
       
      #354 devinyl, Apr 20, 2013
    15. I wish they will add more 51cm males... and females! ;__;

    16. After I received my Zinc Demon some days ago, I'm so in love with the ID51 and asked Soom if they plan to release more of them (and if they plan a release of a York in this size, which would be so wonderful). I got their answer now:

      "We do not have any plan for more releases of York for now...

      But we will do our best to release more IDealian dolls this year too.

      Please kindly check our IDealian site from time to time.^^"


      Well, that sounds promising :)

      In the meantime, here is my Zinc Demon:

    17. Soom has so many different lines and I think their ID release schedule couple years ago was a bit aggressive for them and for their customers. Hopefully we'll see another ID51 soon! If we all aask them it will help!
       
      #357 nancy_schroeder_ca, Apr 22, 2013
    18. Sadomina thanks for letting us know what Soom said. I'm looking forward to more Id51 sized guys and a girl in
      that size would be most appreciated.

      Love your Zinc - he's fabulous.
      Nancy
