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 Mega-Gem General Discussion

Oct 6, 2011

    1. I'd love to see some pictures when you're able to take them.

      Aslan is the doll I fell in love with, but I didn't order him because he was very expensive and I couldn't get the money together in time. Also, I've never had a bjd before. Anyway, more than a year after he was released, I got a line on a secondhand one at a price I could afford (if the seller would take layaway, and lucky for me, they will!) and since I was still in love with him, I've decided to go for it. I'm super excited, but I can't seem to find many photos of other Aslans. I wonder if maybe he wasn't that popular?
       
    2. I passed when he was for sale and kicked myself afterward! So when I saw one in the marketplace, I fell for him! I just have the human version.
       
    3. The human version is the version I'm in love with too. Did you get him in the tawny skin, or the white?
       
    4. Tawny! With faceup and body blushing which is gorgeous!
       
    5. How lovely! The tawny skin is really beautiful. I actually like it the best, but the one I'm getting is in cream white. It's a small difference to me. :)
       
    6. Cream white is lovely also!
       
    7. I'm fairly gutted that the new Romantic Ender head is only available on the Idealian release for this month. My grail is the Dream Walker Ender in gray which I missed out on since I joined the hobby after. 75cm bodies are just a step too large for me. MegaGem's are the max height I'll go and DW Ender was perfect for the character I had in mind. He's so rare and I've never seen him up for sale on the secondhand market either. I may never be able to get him. :eek:
      So to anyone who owns that magnificent doll in gray skin....I will be extremely envious from afar.

    8. Sometimes Soom will have body and head sales in all sorts of resin colours for specific sizes. So keep an eye out for those special sales while you stalk the marketplace here.
       
    9. I certainly will! Thank you. :)
       
    10. I hope this is the place to ask this sort of question... :P I've been looking into Soom boys. The Idealians are the size I want, but the Phonolus has the face I'm looking for. Looking at the measurements, I see that both types have the same neck circumference, but I'm not sure if the Mega Gem head would look too small on an Idealian body... Anybody have advice for a newbie?
       
    11. Megagem heads are a bit smaller than Idealian heads but they do work on the Idealian bodies. Soom posted pictures when they had the FCE event a couple years ago but I can't find them now.

      Check the recent Ender release! Ender is a Megagem head.

      Sharing a quick shot of my Jethro (who I find myself staring at too much during the day). Can I get some more mega gem spam? :eusa_pray These boys will be the death of me, but I love them so much.

    15. Ooh he's gorgeous! :D
      I'd share some more of Nascence, but he's currently in pieces for a well-deserved round of repairs, cleaning, and blushing.
