SOOM [MD/DEC] Shoshon-The First Cánë

R-really? *o* That's... awesome...

ARGH, SO TEMPTED.

In that case, do you know why Soom basically says 'don't sand the seams because the resin will come out lighter where you sand'? I thought that was because the tan was essentially "sprayed on," as it is with some other companies, so it would rub off if you used something hard like alcohol or acetone on it.

 

I believe that the tan skin dolls have been dyed to be tan. So you can paint/wipe paint/wipe without any issues, but when you sand you are actually sanding down past where the dye has soaked in. I don't own a tan doll so I might be wrong about that.

 

Their tan dolls are actual tan resin, it's why they say there could be marbling on some dolls. The Afi and Keny dolls were brown-tan, the Aphans and Coquinas were bronze like this guy is, and Chalco was his own dark tan. The more you sand in the lighter it will get, though.

 

Like buboplague said, the color is inside the resin itself. It's not painted on.
The reason they don't sand it is because it does get lighter when you sand it, but only a bit. And most people don't like that look. It can usually easily be fixed tho.
I think it has to do with the inside of the resin. I've seen it in normal skin dolls aswell. the surface is just very different than the core, and in tan and other strange colors it shows much easier.

 

I wish they had a photo of him with his leg/hooves bent...or show what he looks like sitting down with the hooves.

 

The only available photo of him sitting.

 

I LOVE his face!

....I'm however not into his body, way too manly for me.. :'( Would his head fit on a slimmer SD boy body- does anyone know?

 

Oh you found one! Thanks so much!!!!!!!!!!! I do like that the joints are at the knee and ankle...
He is a rather daring sculpt...I believe.
I keep thinking of Herne. I'd like to do a Herne.....
I don't even have any fantasy dolls...yet....but I'm so intrigued by this one.

 

Thank you lydiawalker, buboplague and Snow for the tan resin answers... that's really interesting. Now that I understand that, I'm not afraid of tan resin anymore, but I'm still iffy about the gigantic body, so I still haven't ordered him.

Man, I really wish he was just a Super Gem.

I only have 3 or 4 days left to make a decision...

 

I wil actually be getting him. I'm just really debating on the bronze skin or the normal skin. Sometimes their bronze looks so dark. I'm a little fearful that he'll be super dark and I want more of that golden sunkissed look.

 

Unfortunately no.

His head won't even fit onto a SuperGem body. Soom have this thing about hybriding their dolls.

 

I assume that his fantasy leg parts wont fit on a female body am I correct? Otherwise i would like to put it on a female eventually.

 

The megagems are pretty much hugenormous. I don't know of any current female dolls they could easily be used to hybrid with, unless they might potentially fit with mecha-angel bits and pieces (and I am fairly doubtful there).

 

well poo XD. Darn too bad, hehe I did not know they were that big. Thanks for the reply though .

 

Anyone know about clothes that fit these size boys? I read that EID is too big and soom has like nothing listed for MGs.

 

I read the EID model clothes fit. I think it was mentioned in this thread somewhere.

 

One thread said yes another said they were too large. I do love some of the EID clothes though.

 

Has anyone done a photoshoot with the MG wearing Iple clothes? I hear even the SID clothes fit him.
