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 May the Second Land: Chrom - Bane of Wood

May 26, 2009

    1. Yai me too, can't wait for more pics!!!I need more!!!
       
    2. Up until your doll reaches the manufacturing point I'm sure an email to SOOM will allow you to change your address, or you could have him posted to a third party who can ship him on to you, like a family member or such like.
       
    3. Me too, $abbatha.
       

    4. I can sympathise with that. xD I've been F5'ing that page every few minutes. If that. xD;;; I have to leave the room to keep myself from obsessing over him. xD;
       
    5. I have to start going round with my Sard's hooves trying them in other dolls' thighs.... I very much want a wolfy body, or at least feet, for my Barghest character, but really wanted a skinny body for him. Soom's is way too beefcake for an effete late 19th century poet. *L* Anybody know what legs Soom hooves slot into, offhand? I know theres been one or two hybrids.

      Ooouuuhhh I'm not even likely to buy him but Im STILL on the edge of my seat to see promo pics for Chrom. *L* This is a downright ILLNESS, I tell you.
       
    6. Kasa - I'm not sure who he'd fit with, I've been to a dollmeet with one, and it looked like the only doll Sard's feet would in any way fit would be the Dollzone Wing I had. I know that Amber's legs won't fit on other Soom legs without some modification to the upper leg parts? I think?
       
    7. Please do not in any way discuss sales or splits of any kind outside of the Marketplace. This includes nebulous fishing statements like "Oh, I just want the hands" or "I wish I could get that outfit for my Sard".

      Please take this time to reread this thread in the Announcements: [thread=285422]Selling & Buying Outside of the Marketplace - oh, and Splits[/thread].This reminder can also be found at the top of the Marketplace.
       
    8. Woot NS Male! x3 I hope both don't have the wolf ears...TAT;

      @candygears: x3 hehe actually I purchased a Bix arm, and decided to switch the Bix head with a head more my taste. ^^; Now that Chrom is a confirmed NS...i'm a little doomed.
       
    9. Dybbuk - Who is the doll in your signature four from the end? With red hair and turquoise eyes? His photograph is really striking. :)
       
    10. The waiting is killing me!! I know the wait will
      be even longer after but I'm hoping the pictures
      will help ease the symptoms..

      Have a question I hope can be answered, have any
      of you purchased sooms seam sanding, in general,
      or for a monthly doll? I plan on getting my Chrom
      with body blushing/makeup so sanding myself
      afterwards isn't likely. Were the results good
      and worth the cost? I hate seams:lol:
       
    11. Hrm, Given that the teaser for Hati and Skoll seems to have been released two days before they were I think we've got at least another 12 hours yet? It depends if they're going by GMT or not.

      I may be talking rubbish as I've not stayed up for a doll release before, but given the overload that orders are going to cause their cart system they may release on local or GMT (UK) times to prevent a flood of information that might get mangled.
       
    12. Lula78, congratulations in advance on Chrom. I have no doubts that the rest of him is as marvelous as his teaser.

      The Heliots have begun arriving. I have not received mine yet. I paid extra for the seam sanding. I do not like seams on my dolls (some people it does not bother. Me, it bothers) . Heliot owners who DID NOT pay for sanding have said that they wished that they had. They reported LARGE seams in some cases.

      Particularly since you are going for blushing, considering the fact that he is an expensive monthly, I would ABSOLUTELY spring for the seams. Seam sanding is no more than the cost of nice BOOTS for one of these dolls. Go for it :):):).

      One thing which I do not know: I do not know if SANDING adds to the WAIT time to receive the doll. Mine is 'due', but has shown no evidence of 'appearing'. However, I believe the EXTREMELY long wait for the Soom MDs is worth it.
       
    13. Lol, I started yesterday out by saying "I don't need him, I won't buy him." And now I can't wait for them to make him available so I can snag one. Oh Soom, you have doomed me. :P
       
    14. The same question came up in the Hati/Skoll waiting room and the general consensus is that if you don't think you will/can sand yourself that you should spring for the sanding service. One poster there commented that the seems on their Euclase were almost sharp enough to cause cuts. Yikes! I personally will be sanding mine just because I like doing a lot of hands on work with my dolls, but I'll also be getting him without any blushing. So I'd say you probably will be happy if you add the sanding in.
       
    15. ^^ Hi Gracewing~ That's Alest, he's my Volks F-38. Thank you~ <3

      I hope this guy has a big nose~ xDDDD Random side note, but while I liked the Heliot, and Euclase...I'm a lover of big noses, and Soom's been doing rather thin one's lately. xD
       
    16. Haha, I thought I was the only one repeatedly refreshing the page over and over... I'm glad I'm among like minds. :)
       
    17. You're welcome, he's really stunning, I think it's the contrast between the rich red and the piercing blue-green. :) It makes you really react to how sharp his gaze is.

      Thin noses always worry me from a purely transportive (is that a word?) point of view, the same way delicate ears or pointing hands do.
       
    18. I completely agree with you on this one but looking at the teaser photo, his nose looks pretty narrow, I guess we'll see and hope!
       
    19. ohh still no pics!!!!!T^T
       
    20. Thank you so much Cat and bellalupina!!
      I really appreciate your advice and help:aheartbea

      I've been stalking Sooms site for weeks now,
      normally I just wait patiently for the teaser
      pics or even the release,but it just wasn't possible this time..
      It must have been calling me :)
      And i love that he's a May doll, feels like the
      b-day present I was waiting for but didn't get:D

      Completely agree that the sanding is worth the $
      and even the extra wait (how much longer might that be?)
      for him to come home (to me yay!) all finished.

      I will admit that I've started worrying about
      the what if's....but am trying to stay positive.
