Soom Idealian 75cm Discussion Part 10

How consistent are resin batches? Like between the normal tone? I know that tans and fantasy colors are a bit less consistent overall.

 

Oh. I got a LE Hwa-in. Whaaaa

 

@marci12 Congrats!

I saw Soom's announcement for him, but couldn't justify paying that much for an outfit and faceup I'd never use. Not to mention he's in the wrong color for the character I want him to be. But, it'll be nice to see owner pictures of him.

 

Yeah! I was on the fence, but, dang it, he kept growing on me.

 

@marci12 Congrats!

I was going for it and he got in to my cart and I chcecked out but I decided at the last minute to let him go even though all I had to do was pay. I was on the fence really really hard but I already have the Grim Reaper Hyperon from last time, so I decided to let Hwa-In go since I couldn't be sure I wouldn't have a change of heart.

You'll definitely have to show him to us when you get him!^^

 

Hey guys, I’m hoping someone here can help me with something. I bought a Phonolus head with the fantasy ears in normal skin and he came with an Idealian CoA (I bought him secondhand from someone here on DOA). The CoA says he’s from 2013, but I can’t find a normal skin Phonolus that was sold that year? Any information would be awesome!

 

@zomjirate It could be a head from a doll event SOOM attended and sold specific dolls at...?

 

If you have the CoA number, you can go onto Soom Idealian website and check the authenticity and it will tell you more details of its origin. Support -> Certification verification
Certificate Verification - IDEALIAN

Hope this helps.

 

The fantasy head Phonolus was never sold in NS regularly. The human versions were, as Idealians. As marci12 mentioned, it could be from an event, but in the past they made annoucements whichs dolls will be sold on events, and there are none for 2013.
But! After some digging...
In 9/2012 he was available in a FCE Post MD Event (pointy ear head, NS) though (Here: The Gem > NOTICE). I just checked that with an old Migma head I have from the same year - Soom doesn't date their CoAs to the day the doll was bought, but probably the day it was shipped off. Migma was on sale in July 2013 but her Coa dates to November 2013.
Means- Your Phonolus' CoA is probably from the Januar or February 2013, while the doll was available in the aforementioned FCE/Post MD Sale in September.

 

My amor is here I was so shocked because I checked the shipping last night and it said that he was still in Korea! Not complaining though, I'll upload photos soon!

 

New release is RIVER !!!
Normal AND Bronze !!
TWO heads !!!
I almost screamed when the email said Idealian 72 but that was a mistake lol

 

My life is complete :')

Just ordered River, my no. 1 grail doll (barely 4 months after my no. 2 grail doll Aslan came home ♡). Still can't fully believe that I'll have both of them finally :'D

He was next to impossible to find second hand and it's such a good feeling to finally be able to close my WTB thread for him that I created in December 2019 and have been bumping ever since and instead add him to my ordered list ♡♡

 

@Sasha of the Crows congratulations! I am very tempted by River but I already have my two grails (Narmer and Hyun) as a couple and little money, so I am sitting on my hands and being happy for you!

 

I snapped up River as soon as I saw him! He's impossible to find after searching so many markets, and he's in BRONZE too, I am in LOVE! And with a sleepy head addition this time...I'm so broke now but thank you Soom oh my god. I can't wait until he's home.

 

Aww thank you so much! Such a lovely comment, you're being truly kind and wholesome •^-^• I'm glad that you're happy with your OTP, that's the most important thing ♡ I skipped a lot of beautiful ID75 boys (Hyun being one of them in fact!) because I wanted to be ready day one when River re-released.

The sleepy head is so super pretty as well! I have to be reasonable though and watch my budget, so I'm not getting it but boy, is he gorgeous ♡ Congrats @Setsura too ~ I'm excited to see how yours turns out! ^.^

 

I love that they are offering a sleepy-eyed version too!

I already have a River...but he is dang tempting in Bronze.

I still love my original River...in NS.

OMG RIVER

I'm happy to see him again and so many people happy about it too. I'm a little bummed out I can't afford bronze right now (with the jointed hands $1200 for a blank doll is nuts for my budget right now) but River is perfect in every skin tone. I've been pining for the right ID to come my way and River was high on the list (Hyun and Narmer next Q_Q), so I am so happy to finally announce an ID is coming my way.

I've had a few in the past that didn't work out, but I knew I wanted at least one so badly and have been searching for a few years. So this feels good. Congrats to everyone who had this elusive man on their wishlist and can close their WTBs!!

Edit: right before I hit the buy button I saw a Zak for sale, so we made a hard choice, but Zak is the chosen one XD I so wish I could have both.

 

Congrats for everyone waiting on River! You don't see as many Rivers around and it'll be nice to see more.

I'm still waiting on them to announce Zak or York or Hyun while I have funds available, but there will be an ID in my future. It really depends on the 3/4 profile view and cheek bones.

 

Finally got my Narmer! Trying to brainstorm on the right type of faceup.

 

I just ordered River. He will become my second bjd!
