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 Monthly Doll Jan 2010: Chalco - Forest King

Jan 22, 2010

    1. I think I'm gonna go a head and get this one. Love the shape of the hooves but not the knee joints.

      I'm also wondering if Soom charges a fee for using layaway.
       
    2. He is really cool, but I think I'm safe. Wont even need to join a split for anything. :) I'm still looking forward to seeing owner pics though!
       
    3. Okay, thank you kindly! :) I was just wondering because I was looking at the 'layaway payment process for paypal' and in the image it said layaway fee, but found nothing listed in the actual layaway information section.
       
    4. @rottedgirl :: Haha! The option of a layaway is both wonderful and horrible, is it not? I'm afraid of the super long wait that's going to come with it though, or has Soom gotten better at not taking forever to ship their MDs...? Last time I really stalked anything as far as Soom goes was...last year, actually! When I bought Heliot.
       
    5. I wasn't able to get to the page from the direct link on the news thread, but I could see him fine if I went to the main site, and then clicked on him.

      ETA: The layaway didn't seem to add that much time to my Sphaler - I got him not too long after I finished paying him off, so since you're not going to get him next week *anyways*, may as well take it!
       
    6. Thank you, rottedgirl! I am likely suckered in again on this one, I just have to decide which options will be involved. Oh, Soom.
       
    7. Do they have a picture of the Linuus arms? I see the hands, but what do the arms look like?
       
    8. DamonGrey: I've only bought one Soom MD outright, Sphaler, and he took just under 3 months (to the day, practically) to arrive. My bf is planning to make the final payments on Galena this weekend or next, so we'll see how long that wait will be, although from what I've seen so far, it hasn't impacted others' times much, so I feel confident.

      I have half my Chalco deposit ready, with the other half Friday, as long as I don't go fullset. But.. he's just... so.. soooo pretty.... <3
       
    9. Nice doll - reminds me of some sort of pagan devil worshipper that has stepped out of Conan. Shame his face mold is too girlish, er boyish. Wish Soom would give male MDs more mature heads. From the neck down Chalco looks great.
       
    10. @Forbidden :: I was wondering the same thing about the arms, they show the hands but not the Lunuus arms. Not that I can see anyways. Maybe they just meant the hands...?

      @rottedgirl :: Okay, that's nice to know! I'm horribly impatient D: It's going to be a long wait no matter what route I choose I'm thinking, haha.

      @Freezeframe :: He does have a pretty youthful face, doesn't he? But at the same time there are some masculine features I guess, maybe with a different faceup he could come off as more manly?
       
    11. DamonGray: The difference between arms plus hands and just hands is big when it comes to split pricing. *sigh* Have they ever made an extra set of arms to accompany a pair of extra hands before?
       
    12. Well, now I think it just says hands...or, that's what's shown in the 'What's included' pictures further down anyways. @0@; A typo on Sooms end perhaps?

      But I think...Amber's been the only one I know of to have a second arm piece as well. Not sure on the others...Cass too maybe?
       
    13. He's really lovely however at that price I will admire him from afar:(
       
    14. I reallllly like him. It's going to be hard not to order him. (I think the reason I like him so much is that he looks a lot like my boyfriend) But I just got a Sd16 Kira, so I cant afford it ;_;
       
    15. I'm just going through to order him and is shipping free? o.O I selected EMS and the zone (plus tried a couple of others) and it's still coming up as $0

      EDIT: It says 'Shipping Company - Exemption of Shipping Fee' on the order confirmation o.o
       
    16. oh boy.... Guys do you know what happens after this one? Do they continue with the MD Gods fantasy theme? Are they going to go again through all elements? And if they are, then i do not know what to do..... i would love to wait til darkness again, but what if it is a girl again... maybe they will shift order this time, so that darkness can be a boy... huh i have to make my mind if i want Chalco....but what if next moth it will be darkness.... huh HELP :...(
       
    17. I found my Cernunnos D:! Smitten with the boy.
       
    18. Well, I think he is very handsome. The face isn't too girly, he comes in ns and he has hooves and they are cloven. Yay for all of this. If his legs and hooves parts would have been more like Sards or Heliots instead of Amber's type he would have been perfect, but I still like him the way he is.
       
    19. i just placed my order :XD: who's gonna open a waiting room for him?
       
    20. I am 110% Soomed.
      Too bad I'm broke.
      But he is now my favourite Super Gem male Soom has made.
      I'm just glad the crow speculations were wrong, otherwise I would have sold a kidney to get him. XD
      But I'm so looking forward to seeing owner pics of this handsome beast. &#9829;
      I hope someone from Norway will get one so I can see him in person.
