Soom Idealian 75cm Discussion Part 10

I really wish they would release Jian again...unfortunately I wasn't into soom back when it was released.I don't think Jian sold well last time there are so few owner's pictures out there but it's a really beautiful sculpt.

 

Apologies if this has been answered somewhere, but search has not been helpful at all- does anyone have recommendations on what gauge/width/overall type wire to use on ID bodies? Particularly the leg area.

I just strung and wired a pair of jointed ID hands and 24g jewelry wire is great for them btw.

 

12ga aluminum on the advice of several others. Link below for the exact one I purchased and use. I just loop it back on itself at the ends so there’s no raw scratchy edge.

Do you have a rough idea of how many dolls a roll of that might cover?

 

I’ve barely put a dent in mine. I’ve only wired one of my 75 boys, I’ve got three more that need it and there’s absolutely enough on that roll. I’d guess maybe like 5-7 big guys? Could even be more than that.

 

@Sakhmet thank you so much! I think I'll look for a smaller roll since I've only got one doll that needs it, but just knowing the gauge is incredibly helpful.

I wrapped masking tape around the wire ends when I was doing the hands, I'll probably do that for whatever goes in the body too.

 

@Astro I use 3mm wire / 9 gauge for all my idealians. Works really well and is nice and sturdy I have 52 ft from Amazon I bought and have wired a few dolls and have a lot left over.

 

Hello, I'm kind of giving up putting the wire in my Zak's ID75 body... my Julius (Scar Hyperon) has been on to a DAD75 body. It's probably a bit more stable to stand but still do upper body parts isolation.

 

Hello everyone! I've been able to purchase an ID 72 who is presently on layaway. I've been looking for discussion threads for that specific size and I'm just not seeing one. (I've used the search engine more than once!) Is it okay to post my doll on this thread even though it's the ID75 thread? Thanks, and sorry if I missed the actual ID72 discussion thread. I'm not great with technical things...

 

Hi! Does anyone know if 9.5 cm shoes would fit ID75? I'm not sure if I should get a bigger size...

 

@Niel If the inner measurement is 9.5, they might just work. I think I have a pair of sneakers from Aliexpress that had 9.5 as the inner length. However, if it says outer length of the shoe, they'll be too small. I hope this helps!

 

@Niel since their feet are exactly 9.5cm, it should fit, but the real issue is how wide their feet are. They're much wider than you might expect, so make sure the shoe matches up to that as well.

 

Yeah, go ahead, people do all the time! And the head sculpts are the same.

 

Okay, thank you! I didn't realize the head sculpts were the same, but it makes sense, lol!

 

I really wish I can find Hyperion vampire face….really need that head bad for my oc

 

Does anyone know if they release the B.J. hands on a schedule, or is it randomly?? I need to nab some Long Nails!

 

You can no longer purchase it separately anymore, only as an add on to buying the full doll these days (I fucking hate it).

The hand type is random, and only in whatever skin colour the current doll is being sold in. Long Nail is more rare than standard.

 

I never would have guessed that, how annoying

Thank you so much!

Would you or anyone else here happen to know if the joints in the hands are made with the same resin, or are they different plastic parts like with some other hands out there?

 

The Soom jointed hands are resin and not plastic.

 

Is it just me or recently has it been getting harder to purchase directly from SOOM? I wanted to buy Zak from the latest release but the website kept on crashing and lagging like crazy up until he was sold out. The same thing happened again with Edgar.

Artist version for me is now god’s blessing in disguise. If you really want the sculpt and don’t really mind paying the price differences for face up that is. That was how I manage to get Edgar this time
