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. Thank you, Ashemanu and Nancy S - at least now I know I'm not insane and wasn't having hallucinations! I hope that it is a matter of "Ooops, we're a bit too early" instead of "No no no we aren't really gonna release him" ....

      Does Soom still offer layaway? I've not done it with them, but don't they have a $1,000 or more limit before you can do layaway? I could ask them but figure someone here knows how it works. Any info and personal experience with Soom layaway would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
       
    2. Yes, they do layaway. I think if it's over $1000 you can get a longer layaway.
       
    3. Thanks for inquiring about Hornblend, Nancy! I am a bit sad I did not see the original pictures, just the teaser now - but maybe, if they are not going to release him, I won't know what I am missing ^^
       
    4. I got an answer from Soom:

      At least we know he's coming and will have time to save money!
       
    5. At least a not completely vague answer! Thank you very much, Nancy! Maybe they do not want a rivalry with the new Ender. Now I am waiting to see how soon "soon" will be ^^
       
    6. This wasn't a great time for me, so I'm glad I have some time to plan!
       
    7. Ah, thanks a lot for asking them, nancy_schroeder_ca ! :)
      But... what's "a renewed version" mean ?
      Sounds not good for our wallet......
       
    8. That's hard to say. Perhaps they decided to offer a different skin color. All the Idealian 51's have been either NS or tawny. Bronze would be great.
       
    9. Bronze ID51 ! ❤❤❤ That would be nice~
      I really can't wait to see their renewed version of this guy.
      I hope they will extend the order period as well.
       
    10. Not all of them - London came in dark brown. But you're right, one in bronze would be fantastic!

      just casually dumping my zinc here :shudder

      edit: god i forgot to ask is there any shirt that will fit id51's neck girth?
      i tried few SD sized shirt on but they are all too baggy on him.
       
    12. You are correct! But there has never been a bronze or CW!

      Shirts for SoulDoll Vito size or ones made for Tonner's 19 males like Mortimer work well. Pants for Mortimer fit but are short.
       
    13. Did someone say "Demon"? Here is Kestrel, my Zinc Blond Demon in NS .... for information and study purpose only, of course, heh heh heh, since this a discussion group. I wish Soom would make some nice basic jeans, slacks and shirts for this ID51 size (and moar shoes!). The Soom jeans I got for London are baggy in the butt and I'd hate to have to take apart the pants that came in Aspen's fullset - and I don't remember if they fit any better. Good thing these 51s look so good naked ... just sayin' ...

    14. I have a feeling Soom feels dolls should be able to sit or pose in their jeans. A stretch fabric would allow a better fit!
       
    15. I don't know. I think the jeans Soom made for the 51s were kind of hit and miss. I got two pair of the same outfit, and one pair fit nice and snug, the other was baggy. *shrug*

      Tangier - LOVE those horns!
       
    16. I know one person got a dress fir Eden that was too large, but mine fit perfectly. That's really annoying that they can't make things fit consistently.
       
    17. Gosh! Dreaming look Hornblend is so awesome.
      hope they will rerelease old sculpts too >/////////< I really want Zinc, he is just perfect for the character I have. can't wait, can't wait >//////<
       
    18. Does anyone have experience with clothes from M3 shop? And more specific, with some sort of dress shirt from them?
      I am planning to get my hands on one of these guys in the near future (zinc blond demon) and since I'm currently in an M3 GO.... just trying to be efficient :XD:
       
    19. Has Soom released that new guy ? &#10084;
      I really hope they will release a new bronze ID51 guy~~ :dance
      I still oggling Soom, hoping for Cuba re-release... :...(

      @ asterick
      Woohoo~! Your boy is so handsome~~
      How about JID ? My JID wears ID51 outfits, it's a bit baggy for him, but still look O.K to me.

      @ Tangier
      OMGGG~~~ *drools*
      Your Kestrel is really awesome~!

      @ aernath
      Your London is totally cool~
      Love his hair~~ Is it custom ?
