Soom Little Gem Monthly Mini Doll discussion (part 7)

Rang and Dain are up! I ordered their outfit using my Visa and the charge went through. I have had issues in the past using my Visa on Volks International but it worked just fine on Soom's site. Make sure you have your ad blocker disabled as the payment window pops up separately.

 

I bought Rang/Dain with a Cap One credit card and everything was smooth for me, which I'm happy about. Getting this little owl boy in light blue is a small dream come true. I was pretty punched in the heart when I saw the moon photos.

Little gems are taking over my cabinet lol

 

As pretty as they are, with the credit card thing, I'm going to have to pass. I've also stopped liking fantasy feet as much, and the whole having to buy a human body when I really only want human feet is also less appealing now.

 

The new dolls they announced sold out in just a day AGAIN !!!

I'm glad that I'm settled at another doll already this summer so the hurt is not that much, since I can't afford them anyway... But, still, this is absurd!

 

I placed my order and needed to call my bank, but couldn't because it was 9pm. I called first thing in the morning to get it fixed and wasn't able to pay for my order because it was sold out. I know they don't do the 24 hour hold when you place an order anymore, which I think is awful, but this whole thing is so heart breaking and I'm already really tired of it. I've been wanting Raphie and I got so excited.

 

@Littlebirdzoom Oh, no... That really is "heart breaking"

Soom stop accepting Paypal really hit many of us hard. And the doll sold out so fast that I'm wondering if they reduce the max of limited quantity. They never came out and show us how many order they will accept for a normal one after all....

Btw, keep your eyes open and do not give up yet. Serin and Rico got their second batch after sold out once. They might do that to Raphie too. (Hopefully)

 

They told me just now that sales will resume and they just paused them, but if the additional quantity is sold out they will be sold out again. Kind of like Serin I guess. I hope I can pay for my order

 

That's lovely to know! Finger cross and hope you could get Raphie smoothly this time.

 

@Littlebirdzoom I hope you can get it this second time, especially since you already spoke to your bank. It is sad that Soom's sales of their little gems seem to be so limited.

 

About when does Soom post their new expected release calendar each month? I keep hoping for a rerelease of Atrox and Tempe, and I've wanted to watch the calendar for them.

 

Atrox and Tempe is here now. Just to remind you to check. The pre-order will open untill 18th September.

 

I did see that! Decided to hold off on them, but it's nice seeing how they'd look with some different color scheming.

 

just found soom serin and fell in love...rip me. heres hoping for a re release

 

anyone have the neck measurement of Soom Serin & Rico? the DOA wiki says its 7.5 but i just wanted to make sure

 

Sounds like Soom has become kinda difficult to shop from.
I have a Volo and to be honest, I found her body really difficult
Maybe I did something wrong, but she came strung super loosely and I've really struggled with restringing her, it's like she was either too loose or too tight. Having her too tight kinda made her go spread eagle, I've never seen that in a doll before. I've also never seen a doll with this odd double elastic situation in the legs and torso before. Most dolls who have separately strung legs have maybe a resin piece in between? Stringing her with one elastic also makes her spread her legs.
I have, after many tries, finally gotten her to a nice, posable state, but her posing still isn't fantastic.
I do think she's really cute but I'm not sure I'd go for another Soom doll.

 

I don't suppose anyone here was able to make one of the early Serin/Rico pre-orders and have their doll arrive? I'd like to see how the purple tail looks! As it is, I'm currently waiting on a white tail and a purple tail; I managed to get in the second pre-order period which means I'm not likely to see them until Late November/December at the earliest.

 

I got the new unicorn Shale / Adamelli as my first Soom. I've never had a MSD size, but I always wanted a unicorn girl so I'm excited.

 

I just ordered a rose pink Shale and hope she's as bubble gum pink in real life as she is in photos. I've waited so long to move up from Soom Teeny Gems to MSD!

 

The pink one is so cute.

I'm getting my girl blank. The pink/purple pastel looks really nice on them, but I've been wanting a more classic fantasy unicorn girl with white/gold shimmer, white eyelashes, and gold hooves. Started putting together a Pinterest board for the faceup and body blushing commission.

I did get the whipped cream dress too with the pink and purple sprinkles, so she'll still have a bit of color to her if I feel in a pastel mood!

 

I'm really hoping that the next time they release Serin&Rico I'll manage to snatch one or two... It's so sad how they've been sold out almost instantly unlike other Little Gems.
