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. I ordered the outfit xD it's just too cute. I paid with paypal and it was my first purchase directly from Soom. Now I'm tempted to get a Shale/Adamelli but there's another limited doll I have my eye on that is cheaper so might have to wait for a future release. I don't have a Soom msd and I'm used to more mature mini proportions so I'm a bit hesistant to go for a Little Gem. I'm hoping I can get the outfit to fit on one of my girls even if I have to modify it a bit.

    2. Ughh that dress is perfect. I kept waffling around with getting the Romantic head and the dress and ended up just the basic fantasy set. I've seen cream white release of Shale/Adamelli and someone's custom gold blushing on the hooves, it's gorgeous! I had it saved somewhere.

      Crossed fingers! I been waiting for a Thera and Goss release with their sheep hooves. Mermaids would be a very close second favorite release!

      I made the mistake in thinking I had experience with Soom fantasy colors but it was with the much smaller Petite Gems, so I'm really curious about fantasy color resins outside tan or any form of peach/pale skin. The gray color Soom resins was very nice. I'm excited about my first Soom Little Gem <3

    4. My purple and white tail ladies were both shipped today, I am excited! Hopefully they arrive safe and sound before Christmas!

    5. Please post pictures! I love seeing those tails.
       
    6. So they arrived... I haven't put everything together because I'm going to send out the tails for blushing in the new year, but they are gorgeous! The silver shimmer is quite strong on the purple tail in real life and makes it look a lot more grey in some lights. I'm looking forward to having all 3 of my mermaid girls finally complete so I can do group photos, but it will be a very long process for sure.

    8. omg they're SO pretty I almost regret not snagging the white one. It really does look like pearls. I've only ever seen it in the small scale on horns and stuff. How are you going to blush them if you don't mind me asking - like which theme? The possibilities seem endless. Congrats!!

    9. Thank you! So for the white one, I am going to have her themed like the pokemon Goldeen, so she’ll have pink/peach coloured details on the body of the fins. For the purple lady, she’ll have a gradient of teal and orange on the fin edge to mimic the ‘cosmic’ colour scheme that was used in their promo picture, and maybe some gold on the shell parts of her ear fins. And extra shimmer on everything!

    11. Wow, the new Lig and Nodia looks so depressed, like the polar opposite of the past stylings which were so cute. Not at all what I expected, spooky winter fairies. But still beautiful. I like the dark grey color.
      Then they were suddenly withdrawn a few hours later "due to unforseen circumstances" :shudder I hope that everyone is alright??
       
    12. It will be fine, Soom pushes back their releases all the time - I always keep an eye on their calendar, and some releases have been pushed back as far as three months. Presumably it comes down to regular things like staffing/production levels, material availability and things like that.
      Looking at the calendar, they had also planned 2 different releases for Lig and Nodia a day apart but they only had the ones in grey skin up as an L.E. 10. They might have some brighter colours in the regular release.

    13. I wonder if they'll do something else in their place, or if it'll be radio silence until sometime in January.
       
    14. I did a Layaway and tried to do a early payment ( not due for 8 more days ) but the option to input my c.c. isn't popping up. Do I wait for the exact Layaway date to make a payment?

      Nevermind I got the payment through lol

    16. HNY 2024!

      How can we know which sculpt is schedule to rerelease this year? Do they have some yearly pre-announce?

      After kept my crew in limited size for a long time. From this year onward I'm looking to add two more to my family, and soom little gem is one of the top candidate :D

    17. It seems to be that unless there is a large event like an anniversary, that we’re reliant on the month to month calendar to see what goodies are coming up. I’m hoping to see Lig and Nodia on the calendar this month after the re-scheduling!

    19. Well it was a month later than I thought, but the February calendar says we can expect the limited Lig and Nodia sets on the 6th, and the regular Lig and Nodia sets on the 7th. I am hoping for a pretty fantasy colour like blue or pink or green for the regular release!

    20. It looks like Soom has released a new Little Gem Miyonnde. I think they are very cute but with a Ray and Luna re-release planned for later this month I’ll have to pass up on them. I’ve wanted a Luna for a while. The translucent tail and ears look very pretty though.
