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 March MD Amphibel - Vala of Light

Mar 11, 2011

Page 4 of 9
    1. After reading the "Light & Darkness" story... I am disappoint. I wasn't entirely pleased with the story of the Valar (singular Vala, and yes they did that) and how similar it sounded to Tolkien's story of it. Of course, it could be that they're building off the Angels & Fallen Angels concept, but I wish that they wouldn't have used Vala/r for them. Or Rauco/Raucar (Tolkien Quenya for demon and it's plural).


      As for the girl... I'll wait and see what she looks like from different angles (and hopefully without so much brightness). At the moment, I don't like her face. I have to agree with what Luchan said. I miss their earlier MD sculpts, like Beryl, Topaz, Vesuvia, etc.

      But hey - she looks like she has jointed wings! ^^ And wing-y ears. So I'm excited about this part. I may have to post a WTB for those parts when she starts coming home.

    2. Well, I think there's no saving me. Most likely the winged head and jointed wings are coming home... @.@

    3. I might get only her head and choose a Feeple 65 or EID body because I like them more. ;3
      I have to look for a comparison thread SG ns + Feeple65 ns and SG ns + EID ns. <.<
      Hopefully there will be ws available...or grey skin?! O_O

    4. My other Super Gems quake in fear of having their bodies replaced with Feeple65 bods :lol: I've just been waiting to find out how close the clothes matches are since I have quite a few custom made outfits that are really tight fitting I couldn't imaging having made over again *_*

      But in Amphibel's case you couldn't get the wing ports in there without the SG body unless you did some serious modding to the Feeple65 back (especially considering they have a completely different designed chest joint.)

    5. Where can we see that there will be a dark counterpart to Vala? Is there a link about it?
       
      #65 honestrabbit, Mar 13, 2011
    6. I absolutly love her!! (Hate you, Soom!). Looking forward to see more pics of her...

    7. I don't need those wings for my character ideas. ^-^ But I have still to think about that and wait for more pictures tomorrow. ^.~
      Maybe she will get her SG body only without wings but with those gorgeous hands from Coquina, Nephelin or Amber! *drool*

      @honestrabbit: Sorry...I couldn't find a link. The only link for the new story is in the right corner but it shows me only a white and empty page. I have really no idea. :(

    8. White skin wouldn't be too far off Feeple, but Soom's NS changes so much from doll to doll that it might be hard to get a fair comparison. My husband has a Chalco head on a Coquina body and the colours are different, and they're both different to Feeple NS.

      As for Amphibel, she's not my thing (hooray! says my bank account). Never really been one for innocent sculpts anyway, and I much prefer the stronger looking women they've made in the past like Beryl, Onyx and Vesuvia.

    9. Link to new storyline: http://dollsoom.com/eng/shop/content.php?co_id=gem_md2011

      It's got a lot of Biblical themes and refrences in it, but I don't mind, because it's actually a lot easier to follow than the other stories have been because of it. But that's just me - I think a lot of people won't like the "unoriginality".

    10. For some reason that link won't open for me. Can you tell me where to find it on the site?
       
      #70 Britt7399, Mar 13, 2011
    11. It's on the main Gem page, right side, next to the news blurbs. It's "2011 Legend of the Doll Part III."

      I was thinking of transcribing some of it, but isn't there a main Soom Monthly speculation thread? I'd rather post it there.

    12. If she doesn't have another fantasy parts apart from her wings, I think that she'll have a romantic head with human ears. Or maybe her ear wings are magnetic so she'll have just one head?. What do you think?
       
      #72 Stratolily, Mar 14, 2011
    13. Regarding the ear wings; with the Sueve/Tuff they have two heads. The wing ears are magnetic but they are not going over other ears and there is just an indent for where they go so you can't really use the head without them or it'd look funny.

    14. I wonder if we will see the rest of her info crop up over the course of the day, since it will be (or nearly be) work hours there shortly for the week. :)
       
      #74 surreality, Mar 14, 2011
    15. @LuckyXIII: Thanks! I didn't remember well about the extra Tuff and Sueve heads and their ear attachment system.

      So there's a posibility of an extra head and I think is really possible cause I don't see her coming only with her angel wings. Soom always adds some extra "thing".
       
      #75 Stratolily, Mar 14, 2011
    16. A second head would be great. Or if she just comes with the wings I guess she will be cheaper than Nephelin. I really hope she will be up soon. I'm so excited to see her face and all. And I really want to know if she is white skin or has a white skin option. At the moment I'm quite in love with her.

    17. Hmm... When do they usually put up pictures... The clock is 4.35 am here, and they are 7 hours infront of me so it must around noon now... (maybe they are having lunch right now? ^___^ )

      (sorry for bad english if any, i just woke up XD )
       
      #77 Marha, Mar 14, 2011
    18. Oh boy, that would be awesome if they put up the rest of her pictures tonight!
       
      #78 Anneke, Mar 14, 2011
    19. I doubt we'll be seeing her tonight. My guess is tomorrow night or the night after that.
       
      #79 catw07, Mar 14, 2011
    20. I read the story a few minutes ago. Yesterday I wasn't able to visit the story page.
      I'm really in love with her. She might be released on Wednesday...to bad that it
      won't be today, in my opinion. T______T
