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.

    2. I've heard both that it's impossible to get a different skin tone, and some near-mythical comments that people have been able to get one-off skin tone changes on the sly...never hurts to ask, but they're no Leekeworld. :sweat

    3. This guy is so gorgeous. I wish I collected this size, but with three 72cm IDs in my collection, poor Danube would look out of place.

      I hope they sell a good number of him. It would be sad for them to get the wrong message about this size doll. On the other hand the 72cm line took a really long time to develop a following, so maybe they'll have learned from this.

    4. I'm gonna go for it- I just have to wait til Friday. He looks like such a troublemaker....

    5. *laughs* Oh, I never thought of that one! Quark isn't even the original spelling, I guess. I guess since Hyperon has no charm (quarks) that must be why he's being so difficult. :XD:

      Unless they really are done with the subatomic particle names. Pity if true, there are so many interesting ones to choose from! Glueball isn't terribly glamorous for a name, though. ;)

      Soom could give their Mecha Angel line a little love once in a while. :(

    6. They seem to be pulling from European landmarks for both the time leapers (72cm) and paradise rush guys (51cm). York was a 72cm boy. And a county. :) Then London of course. I'm not crazy about boots either, mainly because they look clunky, but I don't believe they're trying for historic authenticity here. More of a fantasy mishmash. He is the first face sculpt that still has me interesed after the full reveal. And he's a 51. I'm supposed to be on doll hiatus till next year. I don't know if he's grabbing enough to break that. Better decide quick. I wonder if he's a special order because it was supposed to be a 72 doll. Ah well. A least the outfit can be a seperate purchase. Need to double check those Soom vs Soul Doll measurements.

    7. I was completely safe until I realized he was one of the shorter ones. *facepalm*

      Oh what a perfect addition he'd be....
      NO! NO! what am I SAYING? O_o
       
      #87 Baakay, May 24, 2011
    8. Ugh....so tempted even though he is an ID51 instead of ID72.
       
      #88 Angelguardian, May 24, 2011
    9. I guess I can be relieved that he is a 51, sad but relieved. I still quite like him but he's too small for my group.
      So the doll money just goes in a different direction. >_>

    10. So...anyone sprung for him yet? :B
       
      #90 kaourika, May 25, 2011
    11. IF I spring for him I'd wait until near the end of the order period. ;)
       
      #91 Angelguardian, May 25, 2011
    12. I thought it was Gluon (glue-on)? :?

      ok, ok, so much more glamorous, right?

      Now, I'm thrilled by the looks of this beautiful Danube, but I have not received my London yet; he's probably a month out if previous Idealian orders are a good estimate. I'm pretty sure I do not want to order another before I get the first.

    13. *laughs* I'll cheat here and quote Wikipedia:
      I wonder if these guys (and their bigger brothers) will ever join the X-mas kits Soom offers at the end of the year.
       
      #93 xtal, May 25, 2011
    14. It's getting close to the end for him, did anyone else order besides me?
       
      #94 kadepie, Jun 3, 2011
    15. um, me.

      We're just destined to share waiting rooms, are we not, kadepie?

      At least as long as Soom keeps releasing gorgeous guys on the short side. ;)
       
      #95 Ann in CT, Jun 4, 2011
    16. I like him but he is too small for my set of boys.
       
      #96 empty_fullmoon, Jun 4, 2011
    17. Oh good! :) I was afraid I was totally on my own with this one! I just have a feeling that I am going to love these guys and didn't want to take the chance on not getting Danube. I love his whole set up but haven't sprung for the outfit/boots and wig yet. I didn't get the wig either because for some reason I am picturing him with fur or something shaggy in blond.
       
      #97 kadepie, Jun 4, 2011
    18. I'm still thinking about him! I must decide soon!
       
      #98 nancy_schroeder_ca, Jun 4, 2011
    19. I got the boots & his gorgeous eyes, but not the rest.

      I'm quite sure the boots will spark something in the way of spiffy steampunk/retro-futuristic Victorian duds.

      But he'll be wearing sweats after I open his box. Loose-fitting stretchy clothes are a lot less of a risk for a new size of doll. :lol:
       
      #99 Ann in CT, Jun 5, 2011
    20. Gezz the more I stare at him the more I'm on the fence.......... must stop looking! LOL
