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 - Albany โ€“ Aviatrix

Sep 23, 2011

    1. Thanks for the measurements, dollsoflace! Added them to the wiki.

      For comparison, Iplehouse's EID female has these basic measurements:

      [TABLE]
      [TR]
      [TD][TABLE]
      [TR]
      [TD]Height : 65 cm
      * Weight : 1.9kg
      * Circumference of head : 21 cm (8.4 inch, M size wig)
      * Circumference of neck : 10.5 cm
      * Circumference of chest : Large size : 32cm : Medium size : 29.5cm
      * Width of shoulder : 14 cm (arms included)
      * Length of arm : 20.2 cm
      * Circumference of wrist : 5.5 cm
      * Circumference of arm : 9cm
      * Circumference of waist : 21 cm
      * Circumference of pelvis : 32 cm
      * Circumference of thigh : 18.2 cm
      * From waist to tiptoe : 42 cm

      [/TR]
      [/TABLE]

      [/TD]
      [/TR]
      [/TABLE]
      So the ID72 female has measurements that are fairly close to the medium busted EID female, although her shoulders aren't quite so wide, nor are her hips.
       
    2. So... they should fit EID female clothings then?
       
    3. Question: I am uninitiated into the world of Soom Idealians, so I don't know how these releases go. Are all of the dolls essentially limited? Do they ever release them in "basic" or different skin tones?
       
    4. I dont know if i am the only one who thinks that her face looks like a guys face than a female.
       
    5. I've decided to go ahead and pass to wait for owner pics and see if they release a tan girl to go with the rest of my tan crew. I hope she can pose well.
       
    6. Weird pink skintone, meh face, single jointed knees and clunky ankles; guess I'll pass even though the measurements and physique is interesting.

      Tempest_strife; once she sells out (time period limited), she's gone. The don't seem to get basic releases, but a new one comes out every couple of months, skintones seem to vary as do face sculpts.
       
    7. I wonder if she has fingerprints? I think she is very detailed in the nether region.......I wanna see everything Soom;)
       
    8. No problem! I have been stalking the Soom site for those measurements! I do wonder if they'd put up a picture of the head sans face up... I'd like to see a blank head. I find that though her face is a tad "masculine" (depends on perspective; my mom finds Soom Idealians feminine [except Branon] & this girl quite "normal") but it fits very well with the image of Idealians that I have in mind; heroes, protectors, powerful characters. Even her body is a bit "buff" and yet I wouldn't except something soft and exceptionally girly from an Idealian... it just doesn't "click" as Idealian in my mind.

      At the same time, I'm a bit used to these "strong females" from Soom; Mecha Angel Betel, Deneb, Vega... etc.
       
    9. they did a nice work, her body is supersported, her face looks like a boy, almost the 80% of female soom molds are like that. XD
      i wonder if her faceplate can fit on male one.

      but she's overpriced.
      cant believe a piece of resin like that costs so much.
       
    10. Second you on that! She would look soooooo goood for a guy! XD
       
    11. I can just see the Soom team...

      Us: Could this head fit for a guy?
      Soom: Y U NO LIKE AS GIRL?

      Her neck circumference isn't that bad -- but would still be tough, I think, to hybridize her.
       
    12. I finally got to see her...and I like her! :) I think she looks spunky.
      I can see in some of her features traces of some of Sooms SG boys, but I think she still looks feminine. Her outfit (especially the coat) is really awesome. I like her hands...her body....
      I think she is a solid effort by Soom.
       
    13. So, is anyone planning on buying her? I haven't seen a waiting room for her. I think she's lovely. Bit pricey though.
       
    14. I am guessing the tawny skintone is what added to the price? Basic ID guys are going for $680 blank.
      Soo.... $65 more for tawny? :o I like the skin tone but it seems a bit much. :o

      I wish they'd release more picture for the body details? Afterall, they did it for both the ID72 and ID51 release. >.>
       
    15. I am disappointed with her body. Her body doesn't seem to have the same level of detail as the male Idealian body. Her body looks like the standard female doll body. I wish Soom would give us better photos.
       
    16. I don't know much about the idealian, as I collect female dolls only for the moment, but I really like her, she has most of the characteristics I look for in a doll: strong, powerful, special!
      And, she's a redhead in their pics (more than half of my crew are redheads) and she has an aviator outfit, gorgeous gal!
      I dont' find her masculine at all, she's just not the lovely darling type, more the strong sexy woman type.
       
    17. Actually, a while back Victoria of Soom told me that they ARE planning to re-release some IDealians as Special Orders in the future. I would expect that if they do re-release them they will be in skin tones different from the original release however.

      I for one, like her somewhat masculine face! And in person, that skintone is lovely, by the way. Not at all pink, more of a warm glow.
       
    18. I'm trying to get a fix on what color the tawney skintone is.
      Oh and if Soom does rerelease Idealians in different colors...I pray it's after the holidays. Right after tax returns would be nice.;)
       
    19. The body pictures of her are gorgeous. She is by far the best looking female doll sculpt that I have seen, next to Fairyland's Feeple 65 Chloe. If I could afford her, I would definitely order her.
       
    20. Dollsoflace posted measurements upthread. Albany is 68cm.

      My avatar is a Branon in tawny if that's any help. He has a nice warm glow to him in person. Galway is tawny, too, and I think those pics show it well. I don't think that particular shade of red hair in the promo pics does Albany's skintone justice.
