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 : Gluino - Vampire Alchemist

Jul 20, 2010

    1. Wow, he looks great! He definitely has the best fangs I've seen on a vampire doll, props for Soom for being so innovative. I love his regular head though, too bad it won't fit super gem!

      I think the whole full set looks very nice!
       
    2. lol Is it just me or do his finger nails look GARGANTUAN? (I mean I have really tiny finger nails proportionally to my hands so maybe it is just me but still...)

      That being said, he is quite handsome.
       
    3. The fingernails remind me of the square-tipped acrylic tips people have done. I... can't really say I'm fond of those. They are the one thing about him that I'm not utterly in love with. I definitely would have loved to have seen something a little more claw-like, but it shouldn't be impossible to sand a more graceful shape into them.
       
    4. *bangs head on desk* whyyyyyy Sooooooooooooom whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????????!!!! I have Sabik on layaway, have to put my witch dr on layaway and now him??? *faints dead away* he's gorrrrrrrrgeous!
       
    5. Welcome to the club. ^^;;;
       
    6. Tanks :D I'm glad i'm in good company ;)
       
    7. Craaaaaaaaaaapppppoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...I love him, and I hate soom too. They have all my money!!! He's gorrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous, fabulous and I wants him...

      So, I am joining the club too...
       
    8. We neeeeeeeeeeeds him sis we neeeeeeeeeeeeeeds the preciousssssssssss! ;)
       

    9. LOL, you're doing what I did when I got my Soom IO... my boyfriend asked me what happened to the "new computer" and I pointed at IO LOL....

      I am trying to resist....
       
    10. LOL yes, we do need him, an I suppose we will have to figure hoooooooooow to do it LOL
       
    11. *waves* pick me too, i have 3 going on right now and am trying to squeeeeeeeeeeeze in a fourth for this big, beautiful boy! He would be a great brother to Ulqui! :aheartbea
       
    12. doooooooood we'll not survive without him....
       
    13. Oh oh oh!! I know this is a lot to ask...but is there any way that
      you could take a picture of your Idealians head on your MA?
      Not sure where you're allowed to post it though...

      But I love this guy and likely cannot get him so If I could just find
      his human head and know that another body could work...I'd be
      really happy.... but I wonder since there is resin difference wether
      the color might be different also?
       
    14. Hm, I saw this boy this morning and am now very depressed ;_; He's a good looking guy, not necessary a 'need to have' on my part, but that OUTFIT. HOLY COW. NEED. That is exactly the clothing set in exactly the right colors that I want for my teenie gem Syen. I'm so depressed that Idealians are mega-huge. If that outfit were availible in any-other-size, I'd be all over it.

      Those with Idealians: Think the clothes might fit well on a 60cm from a different company? 65cm? 70cm? (I'd really prefer to stay as small as possible)
       
    15. Where would you find the head? XDD It's a faceplate, with the backplate attached. If you get only the faceplate, where can you find the backplate for it? And I don't think anyone is going to split ID... Everyone needs the heads. ^^;;

      IDealians are 73 cm tall. Bigger AND taller than EIDs. All other dolls will be swimming in ID's outfits. Including MA. ^^;;
       
    16. aww man, I didn't know they were even bigger than MA. Sad. oh well. I don't need to be spending like a crazy person anyway!
      congrats to the rest of you who can get one!
       
    17. Bigger than MA. Not taller, tho. MA is 80 cm, I believe? ^^ And thanks for calling us crazy.
       
    18. Well there ARE splits, with people only taking the "head"
      But thanks for depressing me.

      edit: because in my hopefulness I forgot he was on a
      face plate system. I can't afford him!!!! So it popped
      into my head how I could. But now I realize I can't
      get him at all so Yay.
       
    19. I took some pictures here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...id-comparison-examples.&p=6641872#post6641872. They aren't wonderful. It is night and my crappy camera takes horrid indoor pictures, but hopefully it can at least give you an idea.

      I wouldn't worry about the resin matching any worse than any other batch to batch resin color matching. After having handled Branon a bit more I'd say that while some parts are very satiny, others have a rougher, more usual texture. The difference is likely individual.
