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 NYCC Release - Smokey the Onocentaur

Oct 14, 2011

    1. No! No! Why did it have to be a donkey? I didn't want to buy anymore dolls for a long while!
       
    2. I was reserving judgement until we got past the teaser pick but I have to admit he looks better than I thought - very adorable :)
       
    3. I was just talking to my friend about how SOOM should do a sphinx!

      Smokey is the 3rd centaur in my opinion. Pyrol and Minette are different colors, but they are the same sculpt.

      I have a feeling I'm going to end up with all three... :doh But then I think I'll be safe unless they make a tan human/white horse body combo (can anyone say zebrataur?).
       
    4. I love his face!! But I see they don't have human body for him and I don't collect animal dolls T_T
       
    5. Haha! So I'm not the only one. I really hope that soom does release a sphinx like centaur at some point. I'll definitely be sold on 'em. Unless Soom magically messes it up.

      Anyway I'm going to have to pass on him. I just had to raise my thoughts about how I thought he was going to be a sphinx at first glance. I do love that gray color for his body though.
       
    6. I love this cute little donkey body and I THINK I've ordered. Haha, need Soom to merge it with an existing order, which is layaway, before it's confirmed, so I guess I'll wait until that happens before I get an exact date. Getting the cute little outfit as well - can't resist those saddle-bags!
       
    7. Okay. I'm going to try and raise some extra money before I take this plunge. I've slept on it and I just can't resist an adorable donkey. I hope they don't end this offer early, it may take me a week or so.

      As adorable as the outfit is, I can't really see spending extra money on it unless my selling goes super duper well. But I've got to have the face up at least.
       
    8. No sphinx pls (T_T) my wallet would kill me! I'm falling in love with all this Soom mystical creature. Really wanted Aloa back then, but my wallet really was TIGHT.

      Anw, I was trying to decide if I wanted the outfit or not, but it seems the wallet's too tight ATM :<
       
    9. Oh those *ears*!! Too adorable! fortunately I think I'm safe from that bundle of saccharine goodness... If I had plans for another tiny here, though, I would be seriously tempted!
       
    10. He/she is very cute. I've got Minette and I just bagged a Sov on the marketplace so I guess it's inevitable. I hope I can get some more money before it ends. I have a layaway for Phonolus and a Sarler (Sard/Sphaler) so it's going to be difficult. I would have to sand off the human ears though - 2 sets of ears really bugs me for some reason.
       
    11. I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I would want to sand off his human ears and fit his donkey ears on in a way so that they stand up instead of down. Either that or I won't use the donkey ears and let him keep his human ones.
       
    12. Oh good I'm glad someone else feels the same way. I've seen floppy ears on a donkey so having them down wouldn't bother me - anyway I have some nubian goats and I love their floppy ears
       
    13. This word comes from Ancient Greek, actually, the Roman just picked it from Greek mythology..^^ (Onos is the greek word for donkey).There are medieval drawings and paints representing onocentaurs but less cute than this one. :)

      I would love a sphinx or a mantichore too... I have to stop to want all beautiful mythological creatures on my shelves !!! :sweat
       
    14. Absolutely Precious! *Pout* I really wish that I could have him! ^^; Is it wrong that I would name him Nestor?
       
    15. Is already known if the SOOM Smokey is put out in NS??
