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.

    1. That price caught me off guard!

      But look, it also says you get 27.25 points for ordering him... haha, I think they may have just inputted the wrong pricing information xD;

    2. It says he's an Idealian51, so that's why the price is low.

    4. Apparently, yes!

      Ack.. I really, really like him, but... argh. I was NOT going to get that size!

    5. Lol, two weeks of anticipation for nothing. I thought a big one was scheduled for this month ... oh well. I am not that fond of the pictures either. So I will keep on hoping someone will sell his York after arrival ^^

    6. Yeah, everyone was assuming he was going to be a 72 because that's what their own release schedule said! Soom really needs to start following their own announcements. OTL

      *still waiting for the images to finish loading :I*

    7. I always assumed he was going to be a 51, as his name is Danube, like the European river? But he is quite a babe, his outfit's not listed for sale yet. :)

      .hlp

    8. Oooh! I'm glad he's a 51. Now I'm not tempted. There's no way I'm opening my collection to yet another size.

      Heidi, what's the connection between ID 51 and Europe? I don't follow. Is it because London is also in Europe?

    9. I really think that they should release more clothes for the bigger boys before they start releasing more of the shorter ones! However, I do love this size of him and London- he's just gorgeous, but too short for me! :)

    10. Does anyone know where there is a link to the Idealian sizing guide? I honestly thought ID72 and ID51 just related to their themes of Time Leaper and Paradise Rush and there isn't this information under those tags...I'm struggling to imagine an ID at 51cm....:?

      Thanks!:)

      edit note: Just Googled it and found it here in case anyone else wants the measurements!^^

      If he were bigger, I might have considered him, but 51cm is too small for me...it reminds me of when Souldoll brought out 'Vito' at 50cm, I didn't see why it was necessary to create a mature looking sculpt in such a small size, but then not everyone likes to handle such a big doll...guess I've just answered my own query! :sweat

    12. :...( This is the sound of me falling to pieces. He's a 51, he's gorgeous and I'm broke. And that outfit!
       
      #52 Cloudedmind, May 23, 2011
    13. Ooh ooh! I didn't think he was a 51 guy! He looks really good. I like him FAR more than London.
       
      #53 navci, May 23, 2011
    14. Damn!! I love this face, but why is he in 51cm???? I need him on 72cm body!!!!!!!

      Is that mean there will be another 72cm guy this month?

      -----------------

      New announcement from Soom, they will cancel the 72cm guy this month TT_TT

      Anyway, luckily I can save money for my IP Aurora....

    15. Thank you sakuraharu! I didn't think to check the board section :)

      It would be interesting to see a side by side comparison of the two sizes...I'm wondering if the doll would work best next to msd's or would they actually fit in with SD's...surely that would look odd!

      I was a little dissapointed at his outfit - I was expecting to see some sort of breeches and the boots seem a mis-match with the style of the upper half of body...oh well, though I don't love every single thing they do, Soom are still one of favourite ever doll companies! :)
       
      #55 gelfling9uk, May 23, 2011
    16. they are still far away from the first idealians and old sculpts.. why they fell so low :|
      they look soo all the same now.
      i've stopped to buy soom dolls, until they do something interesting, but, at this point, i really doubt will happen soon .

    17. gelfling9uk Here's a ID51 compared to a 42cm doll. They're a little out of scale.

      I really love Danube's subtle smile. Gorgeous. I'm glad that Soom is starting to release some sculpts with expressions lately.

      I'm staying away from him because I know that once I buy my first ID51, it will open up the floodgates of temptation and I'll want to buy them all XD;;;

    18. kaourika - Thanks so much for your help, unfortunately I could only see an error page...maybe it's my browser? Was it by any chance this pic I've just seen in the London thread?:)
       
      #58 gelfling9uk, May 23, 2011
    19. I think there will be a 72 in the limited edition soon. That might can explain why this 51 is in special order. Hope I guess right.
       
      #59 angeline425, May 23, 2011
    20. This is the mess I am in! I didn't expect him to be 51 and now I want him. Just the doll/eyes and face up. Oh man I am in trouble.
