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. The nude pictures are very nice. I like the body a lot. I can't wait to see what they do with the next one already, lol.

    2. Amazing how similar to the 71 body they have managed to make it. When I first looked at the pictures I thought I had not got to the 51 pics yet. It's lovely. I wonder whether the head would look proportional in person or not; we are so used to slightly oversized doll heads that I don't know whether this would look weird or wonderful.

    3. Oh wow! What a gorgeous body.... honestly, after seeing him nude, I really can't see anything wrong with the size of his head. I think he is a perfectly proportioned Idealian mini size X_D
       
      #183 Nanyalin, Apr 4, 2011
    4. Agreed. I wish Soom had also given us a close up of his face, because from further back his eyes don't look so weird to me, anymore.

    5. The body is lovely and I love the top part of his outfit, i'm sure he'll make many hearts a-flutter. He's not really for me though :/

    6. His body does look exactly like the taller version only mini sized! That is a good thing to see and know, but 1 Idealian is enough for me.

    7. Wow. Recently I've been wondering if Soom uses 3D printing, and this makes me REALLY wonder. That body is like an exact smaller replica of the 72!

      At least the hands are definitely a different sculpt; I just compared the pictures of the 51's hands to my 72's hands, and the 72's have more detail. Both size's finger positions, however, appear to be exactly the same.

    8. The body is really well done and beautiful. I like it but fortunately this size is not for me.

    9. I wonder what London is? Is he the 'cool guy', 'nice guy', 'cute guy' etc. from the list soom posted? I can't tell!

      I think he is lovely, but certainly a tall MSD rather then a short SD.
       
      #189 Sillypeach, Apr 5, 2011
    10. That's what I've been wondering too. LOL. Are they going in the list order? So is he "Weird guy"? :)

    11. I asked Soom about pictures of London head without face-up and they sent me this picture this morning.

    12. See, from that photo I'm inclined again to think the faceup was extending the corners of the eyes a bit. The bare face looks better.

      He is lovely, but the wrong size for me.

    13. I did a scaling of the body using percentages and a Unoa boy and created this mock-up.

      [​IMG]

      Which looks about right, when checked with pictures of how Zaolls look like minis. While Zaoll looks more like a short SD thanks to her proportions, Idealian51 definitely looks like a tall mature mini to me too. I'm used to buying for an awkward size (LatiBlue, which is a 45cm mini with a big chest that is not quite big elsewhere and not as muscular as JID) so I wouldn't mind this guy at all. : ) Figured I'd post up the mock-up for anyone who is interested in seeing how he looks with another mature mini. Thankfully, I'm not too interested in London's head-- so I'll just wait for the other boys to come out.

    14. London looks interesting....but....trying to stay away from the smaller Idealians....too hooked on the big ones....LOL.
       
      #194 Angelguardian, Apr 5, 2011
    15. Oh dear. I was afraid I'd like him better without the faceup and... I was right.

      Geeez. tempted again.
       
      #195 Baakay, Apr 5, 2011
    16. Calling him a 'weird guy' seems a bit harsh, but he is very exotic looking. XD


      Thanks for that chein- very useful! Now I keep imagining how good London would look with a unoa boy on his arm. He'd make a good seme! (<----- predictable)
       
      #196 Sillypeach, Apr 5, 2011
    17. No, no, it's not name-calling, Soom released a list of 'themes' that their 51 cm guys would follow. Top of the list was weird guy, there was nice guy, funny guy (I live in fear) and a bunch of others, I'm waiting on smart/bright guy, LOL! :D But it would've been nice if they'd identified him one way or the other. :)

      .hlp

    18. Oh thanks for that! I am intrigued by this guy....but I'm hesitant to enter into another size...I have all the big boys so far...
       
      #198 luluna, Apr 5, 2011
    19. I would have loved to have seen him in the NS. I wonder if I asked them, would they send me a picture? I will try and ask.
       
      #199 carmen171, Apr 5, 2011
    20. I agree. I thought he might end up a little pinheaded, but his proportions look good to me.

      I'm going to repost my measurements comparison here in case it helps:
      Idealian JID Vito Delf
      height 51 46 52 60.5
      head 17.3 18.8 18.4 23
      neck 10 8.5 9.7 10
      shoulder 13 12 13 13
      chest 26 23.8 23.2 23.5
      waist 19.8 17.5 17.3 20
      hip 23.4 23 22.3 25.5
      thigh 14.4 13 n/a n/a
      arm l. 16.6 16 16 20
      leg l. 33.5 27.5 30 35 (I'm not sure they all measured from the same spots though)
      foot 6.9 6.5 7.5 7.3

      I think Delf or SD clothes will be a place to start, although you might get away with some JID or Vito stuff, too. But some alteration will probably be necessary in pretty much all cases. *sigh* However, if you're going for Volks SD and Delf clothes, at least there's a lot of it around.

      Nrrr, I love London. I thought I was safe from all Soom, but this line might cause me trouble later on.
