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 75cm Discussion Part 10

Jun 10, 2021

    1. The brown tan is gorg on him! If I hadn't already shelled my Sumerian God character with a tan R.dean S.Rei I would have jumped at this chance. But as of now if I get another Dokkebi Garion I need a fantasy color like blue (would die for a dark blue), black or violet but I don't see them releasing those not in LE anytime soon if they release them ever at all LOL.

      Even though the peony skin color one I have now is a bit plain as far as skin tone it actually works well for the character I have. My only gripe is I kind of wish he was the regular or scar head instead of romantic as you can't really see the awesome set of VA eyes I have in him. I would actually buy a peony or cream scar head if they ever released him.
       
    2. It would have been nice if they also offered him in Peony White only so I could have gotten a human head to go with my Dokkebi version.
       
    3. Same here, I got Garion but human only, something about the Dokkebi doesn't quite grab me enough, and I think I'd prefer him in a fantasy colour but we all know soom wants to sell those for 3k instead LOL. I'll just wait it out, I'm not in a hurry anyway since I have enough boys invading my house already.

    4. @Setsura Nice! I do like human Garion is very handsome too! I just don't have a character for him haha (which is a good thing for me rn anyway).

      Yeah they do like their 3K cash grabs LOL. I just don't know if I would ever think it was worth it since the only time I had ever wanted a Soom limited and not wanted to wipe the faceup or sell all the clothes was with the violet Garion. Not because I didn't enjoy the faceups but violet garion was the only time a fullset matched the character I had already planned lol. I would prefer custom faceups on most of my dolls. I'd feel awful wiping it too since there would only be like 5-10 made of their limiteds. Like it would be wasteful or something. Haha idk but I guess I just have reverence for ultra limited full sets, they are like their own art pieces and should be preserved.

    5. I feel similarly, although I have seen some people who have wiped their LE5/LE8s in favour of another faceup. I personally would not be able to bring myself to do it, and if I'm buying something so expensive, I wouldn't want to have to then resend it out for another faceup. I feel like someone else would just enjoy the entire thing more than me, and I'd rather it go to them instead of me hodge podging something else together.

      My LE8 Hyperon has suffered a lot of damage to his faceup, and I have contacted RDean and asked if she would be able to fix it while I was in Korea, but the reply was as I had already suspected and she confirmed it for me (which is that it's not possible due to contractual reasons with Soom). I think if his faceup continues to worsen to a point over time where it looks really raggy, I'd try to see if I would be able to commission RDean to give him another of similar aesthetic, but it wouldn't be able to be directly replicated due to the contract. Even then, I'd feel sad wiping it, I don't think I could do it hahahaha. I'd probably just let her do the erasing.

    6. Has anybody received their Ender from the recent release pre-order? I’m just really excited to receive mine and wanted to ask here if anybody has gotten their’s yet.
       
    7. @The Yellow Sign It's only been 90 days since released and on the site Soom says Ender can take 60-130 days (after the day you paid in full). It's usually 100 days, however if I recall correctly they added extra stock so probably the reason for the extended deadlines. Some may ship soon though depending when the person paid in full and if they actually need 130 days or can deliver standard time. I just finished my layaway last month so honestly not expecting to see a notice until Oct but will be pleasantly surprised if he comes early though! My Garion shipped around 93-95 days after layaway.
       
    8. I'm late, but thank you everyone for tips on buying on Xianyu!
      Question: how do you tell the difference between sale listings and wtb posts? There were some stuff I wanted to buy, but after asking on discord ppl said that they were wtb posts ^^; I would rather not bother to ask if I know that it's not a sale listing.

    9. when you are searching for things you can add ‘出’ to your search. This character mean "to sell". Characters to avoid are "求“,“蹲”,“收” general terminology for wanting to purchase/acquire something.

    10. Thank you so much! <3
       
    11. I feel like they’ve had so many big, popular releases this year. I wonder what’s coming up next.
       
    12. Random question for everyone, but has anyone experienced a glitch on the website where their entire order history is gone? I'm trying to pay for other installments of my Garion, and I'm certain I'm on the correct account, but it says I have no order history and I'm also waiting on Ender and stuff. Extremely confused right now (and a little worried)
       
    13. I checked my account and my order history shows up. You could screenshot the page where it says no order history and upload to their Q&A board to get their CS to look into it. You can also trace your order numbers via the email confirmations received, to quote as references for the Cs to check.
       
    14. Does anyone know if Hwa-in will ever have a regular opening like Hyperon last month? Dying to get him
       
    15. @amelia1996 Only Soom knows that answer for sure since they haven't mentioned anything. The closest thing we got was the 30 limited quantity last year. Your best bet is to contact Soom and let them know you're interested in hopes they decide to release him.

    17. Thank you! I tried, lol. I guess I will dream for the best (Free Choice this year!!!!)
       
    18. @RamenNoodle The ones from Soom aren't molded on the feet. You can remove them. They were just selling the shoes along with the feet. If you look closely you can see the gap where the toes start. They also have a pic of Ender in tights which they couldn't do if it were molded. I bought 2 pairs of them (bronze and normal) but I also bought some and some more heels from that Taobao seller too for peony white and cream white. The deal is certainly alot better from the TB seller and lots more heel options.
       
    19. This is correct, the heels from Soom are made of resin and can be separated from the foot. I have them at home.

      The other heels are made by Jack's BJD house, which is affiliated with DFH and often makes things for them.

      The sculptor Jack has made this heeled foot slightly bigger than their heeled foot for their DFH75 2.0 body, and the shoes won't be compatible with each other. Certainly, I have the DFH75 2.0 feet and heels at home and they are a lot smaller and look awkward on ID75 unless it has the shoes on. The ID75 ankle is a lot chunkier, same with the ID75 heeled foot.

      The foot from Jack looks slimmer but it's still a bit small in my opinion, I find the official soom ones to look more proportional, but it's a matter of personal taste. If you want colours other than what Jack has listed on TB, you can ask, but they have to fulfil a minimum order of 10 by end order date (which is end of this month I believe). I requested soom grey but they only have 3 orders so far. Soom cream and Peony white were added this way via minimum 10 orders from requests of Chinese players.

    20. @RebelViva @Setsura ohhh I see. Thank you both for clarifying! Dang, now i regret not getting the bronze and normal heel feet from last time soom offered them. :...(
      Hopefully I can find them for sale on xianyu :sweat
