Soom Idealian 75cm Discussion Part 10

Thank you for welcoming me. :3 Another free choice head, that's good news! Hoping for Hyunn or Tei.. but a new sculpt that's equally handsome would be awesome too! Can't wait!

Oh wow would definitely try that! Glad to know they read and respond to inquiries. Fingers crossed for tei and hyun

 

I'm done with dolls for this year but if Hyun does become available in the free choice event, I will have no choice.... TT Hoping he would and not at the same time!

 

I love the free choice events but sad there is not faceup option

 

Were there any updates as to a time frame?

 

Don’t think there was a schedule posted

Does anyone know of Idealian-specific restringing guide or videos ? My boy arrived floppy and while it’s not a problem at the moment, I’d like a possibility of bringing him out for posed pictures.

I’m a newbie who hasn’t restrung a doll yet before. But I’ve gotten super sore fingers just by pulling up the brain part and S hook to attach and detach the heads hahah so much strength required….

 

Any re-stringing guide for a doll with the normal head to feet type of stringing will do. The are no special tricks to stringing an idealian and usually only the amount of pieces vary (if a doll has thigh joints for example). Lifting up the brain to rest in the head is honestly the worst part of stringing an Idealian, and if you're gonna do a full re-string I'd recommend putting the brain in place before you pull the string all the way to the feet and attach them. And also let the feet out before you take the brain down when taking it apart as well. I broke the neck bit of my headback cause the brain slipped out of my fingers while he was fully strung. Never doing that again. xD

 

Oh dear… sorry about that neckbit! Hopefully that didn’t affect the head attachment after. Thanks for sharing though, will definitely pay especial attention on keeping the brain in place once upper half is strung and before tangling with the lower half O.O

That’s one of what I’m worried about with following a video guide that uses another doll. Won’t get advice as this specific for the doll XD

I’ll just keep rewatching the videos and maybe, if I can get my hands on them, the jointed hands and try with their wiring/assembly first

 

BUMP !!
New Idealian Wenzel Just released !!

 

His outfit sold out so fast and I'm so mad about it lol. But god he's amazing. Happy the horns are being released again too, definitely gonna get those.

 

He has a very gentle face. I just like my men to have a bit of " How you doin' " to them. I still want another Girl. Off topic:. Moving Bites Big Time!!!!!!

 

Can anyone pm me their favorite soom clothing shops that isn't soom directly? Either professional shops, etsy, or commissions. Idk where to look for male clothing cuz all I find are for women or smaller soom dolls. T_T

 

@Ouja Akuma I know quite a few Chinese clothing makers on Taobao make clothes in ID75 size.

 

My Hwa-In is here and he's everything .



More pics on my IG .

 

@marci12 he looks amazing! That faceup looks so intricate and I am in love with his mouth shape. That's a beautiful resin colour too.

 

Wooow, he’s looking really good! His faceup and full set clothing

 

he's so beautiful @marci12 - what a gorgeous faceup and style

 

Taobao is incredibly difficult for me to navigate even with a proxy seller. :'c

 

@Ouja Akuma Are you using it from your phone or a computer? I find the site easiest to use on my computer and use googles native translation feature to translate the pages. You do have to search in Chinese, but again just use something like google translate to translate what you want to search for into Chinese and then pop that into the search bar. If I find a piece of text that can't be translated because it's part of a picture I use the google translate app on my phone, put it in camera mode aim my phone at the text on the screen and translate the text like that.

 

Oh, that’s nifty , I didn’t know that way of translation for pictures!

i too use Google translate on computer ; since it’s integrated with Chrome now, you can just right click anywhere on the page and select translate to English. Navigating is much easier then.

 

I use the computer but Google translate isn't reliable and often times I can't search for things without having to copy past the Chinese names etc for what I need, and even then idk if it's right cuz again, Google translate isn't reliable.
Plus, given world affairs right now, oversea orders are something I want to avoid especially with China right now.
