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.

    1. She's pretty, but it's nice to know this is one doll I won't be pining away for. ;)

    4. I'm usually a huge fan of Soom but I have to admit she's not a favorite, her face just isn't unique, it looks so much like recent Sooms have. She looks like an older version of Pel to me. However, her dress, wig, shoes, and body are lovely!

    5. LOVE her face sculpt so much I may get her for that. It's just super cute, but there are a LOT of things putting me off.

      Ears. Bad bad move in my opinion on Soom's part. I really dislike human ears like that. I sold another doll who had removable human ears because they kept falling off. And it looks awkward on such a beautiful face. ;.; I wish Soom would offer a human and angel version, giving us a choice to buy parts or to buy as a human because the non-human version bores me.

      No white skin. Just seems like a doll that should have white skin, especially since the minis had white skin choice. I don't understand why Soom would keep doing this as some people only buy white skin.

      Do love the outfit and boots though and that face is just too cute for words and would make a very adorable boy. Haha...

    6. ... T_T

      You are so right. Bah, hopefully Lady Luck isn't feeling unkind on my part!

    7. I love her wings and ears!
      Her outfit really is beautiful, as well...
      Too bad the only thing I like about her face is her chin... :/

    8. Oh boy. I need to think about this a tiny bit more (already talked to my husband about it), but I think I'm about to be Soomed again.

      She will be my first SD, but everything is too perfect for me to pass her up. Her neutral expression would really work for my WoW main, which is who I'm looking to dollify. ^^ She'll be getting a darker wig, though.

      And here I thought I'd never be interesting enough in any SD sized doll to have to worry about this. XD Augh, Soom!

    9. She reminds me a good deal of Emily Bergl. (More the images of her when she was a tad younger from that selection, obviously.)

      I was unsure about the outfit until I saw the whole thing. The top is the least wonderful part of it, to me. On seeing the skirts, I can safely say I really like it. (Still not the biggest fan of the top, but the skirt completes it very nicely in a way that I'm not sure what I would have done differently to replace it.)

      The hand change is interesting. So is the shade of NS. It looks like the softer shade that seemed to return to us with Epidos, but had been gone a while. I really like that shade of Soom's NS -- and far prefer it to the deeper, darker peachy-orange of, say, some of the Chroms. I like that they are continuing to experiment with wings, though I'm not sure I'm the biggest fan of these in particular. If there are plugs for them, I wonder if we will some time see the plug bases and the more 'costumey' wings with fur and feathers again designed to fit into them with a resin plug.

    10. Sadly, Amphibel is not for me. The face, too stylized and with very little expression, in my opinion fails to convey the essence of her angelic nature:roll:

    11. I actually like her better now that I've seen all the pictures. Still don't think I'll get her though. I'm not a fan of magnetic ears and I prefer feather wings to resin ones. I'm totally in love with those shoes! I wish Nephelin had had better shoes. Guess I'll be looking for a split for the shoes and the outfit... might be tricky though since everyone seems to like the outfit.

    12. When I first saw er promo photos I thought she's exactly what I need...but since all her photos hve been released idk. Her wings seem really thin and hr outfit isn't as long and flowing as id like it to be.

    13. I'd love to see her as a boy - I bet she'd make an awesome he. LOL! I think I actually like her face quite a bit, but luckily I only collect boys. *wipes brow* The wings are pretty fine, and I like the way they're jointed. They seem to have a pretty good range of motion.

    14. I have to say I'm quite surprised at the price. It's been a while since we've had a SG girl go for under $700!

    15. so beautiful *.*

    16. This, so much. I thought the top was fairly nice, but after seeing the rest of it I have to say I really love her outfit. Soom really does do a great job with their outfits.

      On a side note Emily Bergl reminds me a bit of Maggie Gyllenhaal, in some of her pictures.

    17. Well I am smitten, her face really does remind me of quite a few people. Her outfit is really divine, and those shoes!

      I also love how her wings can be positioned in different ways, when I first saw them I thought I would hate em, but no such luck :). Now where will I find the money?

    18. Those Angle wigs are stunning!!!!!

      Is it just me or dose she have a bit of an Asian look? ( I think its the eyes?)

    19. I think she is beautiful! I was so set on getting an IH Soo as my SD girl, but then I noticed this girl. I love her nose and mouth, I think she looks more special than a lot of the previous Soom dolls (less Soomified, so to speak). I think she would benefit greatly having another faceup though, I don't think the one she has looks that good on her.

      Outfit is amazing (and expensive!), magnetic human ears are really disappointing. I may have to get this girl no matter :)

    20. Now that I have seen all her pics I can say that I really, really like her. Hate you, Soom! What am I gonna do now? Just keep seeing her pics and suffering for all of eternity (LOL)

      She doesn't seem to have extra parts to put on her back when you deattached her wings like Monzo and Nephelin so she doesn't have those holes all the time. Really weird...
