Soom Idealian 75cm Discussion Part 10

@Ouja Akuma I've been buying off of Taobao regularly for 2+ years now. I don't know a lick of Chinese and I use the google translate method. I've found it reliable enough. Yes, it requires a little bit of extra effort, but worth it for the prices.

There's also Moonlighthouse bjd which sells clothes in ID75 size from some Chinese clothing makers, but expect to pay near double the original amount.

There's also Freedomteller, but again you're going to pay a premium for their clothes.

@Ennui Yes, google translate app is great. I even used it to have conversations with some sellers on TB. The TB phone app has a chat feature and there's been times when I've needed to contact a seller or a seller has contacted me. So, what I do is I'll take a screenshot of my phone screen using the built in screenshot function, then go over to the google translate app, click on the "camera" function, then "import" and what that does is that allows me to select the screenshot picture I just took and then google will then translate all of the text.

 

Hello all, this might be a redundant question, but does anyone have recommendations for eye sizes for Soom Garion with also iris size measurements? I'm snagged a Garion through secondhand and am EXCITEDD, but just going to prepare researching his concept I saw some folks mentioning that his eye sockets were hard to fit eyes in?

 

IDs all use 14mms, and some heads will fit 16mm too but mostly 14mm. My personal favourites are 14/4 and 14/5 but anything from 14/4-7 will work depending on what you like.

 

I put 14/6? in mine when I had him--sorry for the not-super-useful distance shot, I didn't take enough pics of him!

Aw thank you guys! I'm so excited for an Idealian again, and can't wait for this month's releases too! Rip wallet haha

 

Hi All,
Did any of you receive shipping notification yet, for Free Choice ordered in December 2021?
I have not and I guessed they probably have high order volumes.

 

I haven’t received mine! I was also under the assumption that they had a high volume of orders and I did order on the last day so I figured I’d be one of the last to get one. LOL

 

Hi~ new owner of ID75 here xD

I ordered Hyperon for my Free Choice in December last year. (I got my first Soom/ID75, Shoshon also in December ). But this is my first time doing layaway with Soom (which was complete early Feb) . So I am just wondering ... How many days is the typical wait time?

 

I've done layaway with Soom before, ordered in November and made final payment the end of January. It took two months, and I received the doll around mid March! But this was back in 2018, I am not sure how their wait times are now, but maybe a 2-4 month wait time?

 

I think they may be a little backlogged
I am waiting on River.
I did ask them about shipping and got this reply :

"Normally our dolls will be shipped in 60~90 days after your full payment day,
but it does not mean you have to wait 90 days more from your full payment day for the order,
because most of the orders with the layaway payment will be shipped earlier than expected shipping schedule since they have been in production after your payment was made.

We will do the best to ship your order as soon as we can."

I have been trying to get a River for sooooo long hehe

 

Beautiful new Zak up ! Limited and non limited.
Both can be ordered in powder blue !!!

I just woke up, saw him, and bought him I have never ordered from them before, so I really hope it goes through

 

He's gorgeous. Is this the first time they've released that powder blue skin?

 

No, they've released it before for Grim Reaper River.

However they don't normally release such fantasy colours for non LEs, so this is a gorgeous surprise. If it wasn't for the fact there were no jointed hands and I simply do not like VZak that much, I would have bought him. If it was Hyperon or Amor I would've slapped buy faster than light could travel LOL.

I did however buy the outfit, lmfaom

 

The new outfit is so gregarious. It went out faster than I thought and I was not able to get it.

 

Gave my boy a face and went with 14/5mm eyes♥ (Sorry for huge photo, not sure why imgur uploads it so big...)

 

It depends on the QTY released and the style, but mostly fantasy ones sell out within 30mins to 1 hour after release. Since SOOM doesn't tell when release time is exactly, sometimes if you just unlucky you can completely miss it.

I was lucky and saw the announcement on twitter about 1 minute after. So I was able to buy it quickly.

 

Thank you for the info. I wish I was able to get them.

 

Anyone get a doll from the 2021 Idealian FCE event ? it was where they had a choice of the older sculps, ie Branon, Dover, Pangen, Galway and Aragon.
I am curious to see what the heads look like on the taller body.
Not finding any owner pics, *pout* lol

 

So...I asked about mine a few days ago since I'm the lunatic that hit them with memes for 10 months for a basic Hyperon release. And I had my order in within four minutes of the FCE opening, that puts me at 106 days now (fully paid 12 days later, so 94 from full payment), but I've heard there's been another surge in South Korea. So I wonder if it's not a little bit of supply delay, fewer hands on deck, and just being buried with orders.

TL;DR they ARE behind, they know, they're trying to get orders out as fast as they can but it sounds like they got slammed from that FCE. It's Soom though, they'll get it done, they always do.
