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 Little Gem Monthly Mini Doll discussion (part 7)

Dec 7, 2017

    1. New bodies look nice, but I wished to see how the torso joint moves. The pictures mostly show (atleast girl pictures) how legs move, but torso stays in same pose.
       
    2. I definitely prefer the aesthetics of the new body, it's slightly more mature looking. I'd like to get my hands on it to see how it poses! I wonder if when they release them if they'll release the torso with the fantasy connectors for wings, if we want to replace one of our previous fantasy dolls.
       
    3. The new little gem will be released tomorrow!!! Looking forward to this new doll!:D:D
       
    4. Honestly, I'm a bundle of curiosity at the moment, wondering if we're going to get some fun new fantasy parts. Also, wondering if it'll be on the new body, which would be cool.
       
    5. I like the new body, but I think I prefer the old one in looks. I'm curious to see how the new one poses though and I hope they do a video!

      I'm still waiting on my LG Nor from the summer event. When I inquired they said they were going to ship him over the weekend... 3 weeks ago. XD My last order from them took about this long so I'm hoping it's soon now. I have a pile of clothes waiting for him!
       
    6. I'm debating over the new and old body, but I'd prefer the taller one since many company is making 1/4 size dolls taller. Another thing I'm worried about is the resin tone, I recently got a peony white doll and it is soooo much whiter than my other LG. If Soom only releases the new body in peony white, I am stuck with hybrids since I have no intention of replacing the heads :roll: I really hope the cream white returns, they look much more natural.
       
    7. Nor finally shipped and should be here tomorrow. I'm so excited! He's going to have to borrow some girl shoes for a while XD
       
    8. Am I just imagining things, or does the new Tuff/Sueve preview image show one with black wings? It looks lovely!

      Also, @Littlebirdzoom , did your Nor arrive safely?

      EDIT: I didn't realize how high SOOM's shipping costs were going up, I guess I missed that news post. Guess I won't be getting any more little gems and will have to love on my current collection! :nowords:

    9. Yes! He finally arrived safe (after a lot of missed ship dates lol) and sound. He's so lovely! I'm just as in love with him as I thought I would be. Now I just need to spoil him XD

    10. @Littlebirdzoom I already responded over on Insta, but I'm glad to hear it! Be sure to post tons of pics, I love looking at other people's Nors! I'm still experimenting with a final style for my boy.

      In other news, I ended up fiddling with the painting on my Erland boy's hands.

    11. Does anyone else think Zedo's surprise head looks a lot more... haughty, or disdainful, than surprised?
       
    12. Yes, I agree. I ended up ordering the outfit only, no doll.

    13. I really like the new doll they announced for order in April :love
      Turb – Gleam.B - The Gem

      Beeing completely new to gem dolls; are they super limited to only one release?
      Or will he show up later for orders again?
      I bought too many dolls already, definitely should resist :sweat
       
    14. Okay.. Can someone more used to Soom help me understand what's included with the doll?
      Turb – Gleam.B - The Gem
      I mean, could they write that more confusing?
      It says it does not include the body or head.. But it does say it includes "little gem, Turb".. Which I assume is the same?!
      And what about the eyes? They are listed in the options as possible to choose but can't be actually chosen on the listing, only separate?
      Clothing is only separate available, yes?

      Uhm, help anyone :sweat
       
    15. Ah, I see where the confusion is. It does include the body and head, those are supposed to be bullet points under the Little Gem, Turb, not minus signs. Your order will include the body and the one chosen head of the doll, as well as a carrying bag, certificate of authenticity, and owner's guide. Face-up is optional and must be chosen as an option.

      Eyes and clothes are available separately and must be purchased in their own listings.

      As for whether the release is limited, SOOM does occasionally bring back doll sculpts that were released previously, but not usually as the same thing. For instance, Turb was previously released twice, once as an elven eared head and once as a dragon. Don't expect optional things like clothing to be re-released. It can take a few years for things to be re-released if they are.

    16. Thank you. :abow:
      Yes, that was exactly what confused me; using + and - looked like the minus items are not included.

      Good to know, thank you again. Seems I have to decide during the next days if I want him.
       
    17. Does Soom do layaways? I didn't see anything on their site about it.

    18. Does someone have pictures of a Doll in Sooms "cream" skin?
      When I search for it, may it be here or on Google, I can only find "cream white", but "cream" should be a color on its own :(

      I would like to see how light skinned it really is.
