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.

Soom Monthly Doll Jan 2010: Chalco - Forest King

Jan 22, 2010

    1. I wholeheartedly second this! That skull mask is just yum! And does anybody else love the idea that the horns can attach to the skull and his head? The shot of him right before the book picture makes him look so glorious, yet sad. I didn't think I'd like the Amber-type legs. But a friend of mine brought over her Amber, and now I love them.

      I'm thinking he's coming home...
       
    2. All I'm saying is: OMFG TANNED.

      XDDDDD

      <3
       
    3. He's awesome but I'm safe. :) His face doesn't really speak to me, although his outfit and extras are pretty cool indeed!
       
    4. Some of those photos make me think Chalco would make a beautiful woman.

      I just realized I have no idea what his ears look like!
       
    5. Oh my gosh... I was laughingly guessing longhorn the other day and he IS!

      *groan* but $1200 for the whole set? *weep* I dunno. Wow. Gotta decide. Absolutely everything about him appeals to me...
       
    6. Where are the pics of him in NS?

      lol nvm I see now. I prefer him in tan.
      Far more special and would be way overpriced
      secondhand...
       
    7. I was curious about his ears too. If he's a faun, I was hoping for Amber-like long ears, but I figure they're human if they don't go out of their way to show them.

      Has anyone asked about the scar-like lines in his eye makeup, and if they can be omitted? Can't decide between NS and Tan either. I SWORE it'd be NS since I could swap the parts onto a future Lazule, but... the tan.. is just so PERDY.

      Lula: I believe the pictures after the little book-like info blurb, are NS.
       
    8. Holy cow! He is pretty awesome! LOVE those legs n hooves <3 Also mask is droolworthy.

      His face is nice, soom always have very lovely head sculpts. So far he's not among my favorite of soom sculpts (he could be Galena's sister), but that could change when I see better pictures (hint hint soom!).

      The only real drawback is that faceup artist that does that style. The promo pics aren't bad by half. But like with how chrom and Heliot eyebrows ended up IRL, it doesn't agree with me. The outfit is cool but looks awfully skimpy--Guess to show off that smexy tan haha but too skimpy for my taste like usual. Tho I kinda wish they had an extra scar face and bull ears. Ah well.

      Overall an enticing product!
       
    9. That tan is GORGEOUS! And I have to say, I'm very taken by the skull/horns/hooves combo :)
      I do wish his face was a tad stronger, but overall, he's beautiful!!!!!
       
    10. lol *sigh* I was wondering why in some of the pics I didn't like him
      as much....that's really confusing for us, why couldn't Soom just
      put the NS at the bottom and state "Chalco in NS"?

      Ugh at the tan seam lines though. But is it worth it to skip the special
      resin just to avoid seam lines. Still thinking. He looks like an average
      doll in NS. Just nice but definitely no WOW factor.
      The blushing looks so much better on the tan Chalco too.
       
    11. Oh yes, definitely buying a tan one. Holy crap, he's amazing.

      It makes me regret not getting a Galena, because they would really look great together. Even though it would have been interesting to see something other than hooves, I do really love how wonderfully fluffy his seem. X3 I may be able to pass on the outfit (maaaybe), but that wig is a definite yes.
       
    12. He's pretty but this time I'm not soomed. Those horns are interesting though.
       
    13. Wow has any one read the storie for him?

      Apperently he left Gelena on there wedding day!
       
    14. He reminds me of Goethe's "Erlkonig"... foresty and otherworldly. Love the skull mask, but other than that, I think I passed this one safely... *wallet breathes huge sigh of relief*
       
    15. I was impressed with the design. Having a skull mask with interchangeable horns for mask/head is brilliant. And he got legs like Amber :D Face is somewhat too feminine for my liking on his type of character, but I can see so much potential with his looks. But thankfully though i'm wow'd I'm not soomed. ...not that I can afford it even on layaway now ^^;;;
       
    16. Yes! My Mom and I read it and laughed. After seeing him it's
      no wonder Galena still looks and waits for him. Not sure
      how I feel about him knowing he left her though...:lol:
       
    17. He just wanted to be free!

      And mabye he just dosent like comitment!
       
    18. The more I look at him, the more tempting it gets ... I love him in both colors but definitely liking the Tan more... hmmm, I do have a Galena coming. It would be so perfect... I'm torn
       
    19. Haha he looks awesome! And exactly what I wanted. Minus the hoof style in the sense that I hope these ones have more mobility. |3 Either way, I can't say no.
       
    20. Love love LOVE the body, the outfit and the overall design... Not so keen on the face, though (although I can always sell the head, I suppose). Now I just have to decide whether that body is worth $790... :doh
