Soom Petit Gem Discussion - Part 1

I would love to, but it all chalks up to the weather. I work road construction and am just finally getting back to it after a month and a half of being laid off due to weather delays. This is my first week out, so I hope I have a good enough check to be able to order Fosy. I didn't see a layaway option, but if we don't have anymore rain days this week, I should hopefully be able to order Fosy on the second.

 

Yeah, but it's not actually listed in the contents. I will ask anyway and see what they say... I was wondering if anyone else had noticed it, or if it was obvious to everyone else and I just missed it...

@Spectrum_Rhapsody I hope you get a terrific check!
Lay away will show up as an option when you order. I think three payments max?

 

@Spectrum_Rhapsody
Oh no! That's not good, I hope the weather gets better for you to be able to get one. I'm not sure if there's a dollar amount that you have to get to for the layaway, but when I checked out an hour ago on their website it looked like there was an option for it. I wish I would have looked closer at it.

 

For some reason only Ondiin's and Leepy's page lists the metal stand as being included. My White Forest Rudy did come with a metal stand though, despite it not being stated on the sales page. It's possible that they simply forgot it.

 

@Spectrum_Rhapsody
Soom allows layaway for orders that are at least $300 i think, although i'm not sure if they include shipping in that amount
Edit: Yes they include shipping in that!

@aernath
You definitely should have gotten a stand. My Rudy and others from this release included one, even blanks. Like Taixonay said, they probably forgot to pack yours! (Or maybe you overlooked it in the box?)

Fosy is very cute! I'm excited to see everyone's when they come in!

 

Yeah, the total with shipping and adding the outfit only came to about $250USD, and I don't see a layaway option when I go to checkout, so I shall leave it up to fate. I am also looking forward to seeing everybody's Fosy when they arrive. I've never ordered directly from Soom before, what are the wait times usually like?

 

@Spectrum_Rhapsody
I hope you can get one!
My Rudy took two and a half months, but I saw that some blanks only took one and a half! An msd I got from them a long time ago took four or five months I think? That one was bigger and had fantasy parts though, so that probably added to the wait.

 

I got an Ondiin second hand from the MP. She finally arrived. I've been hoping to get a chance to have one ever since the preorder! She's very cute and I'm in love with her fangs.

 

Congrats @WaterGleam !! I've been looking on the MP for any others too!! She's darling! I can't wait to see how you style her!

 

Thank you! Here she is. I decided to call her Céline because it seemed to stick the best. She's holding an orbeez

Oh damn she looks so cute! I really like how you did her ears and paw blushing, and those little freckles are so charming.
I'm in love.

 

Edited post to remove picture as my Leepy has found a new home!

 

They really are hypnotic! Cool!

 

Collecting washi tape has been a new mini hobby for me, so here's my Rudy helping me out with some!

 

Oooo, that's a beautiful purple and blue design!

 

I'm hoping that Soom rereleases Ondiin soon as I'm in a frenzy looking for one. It's always best to buy from the company as I can only imagine second hand prices D:
Any cons to owning these cuties?

 

You and me both @AnnoDomini , I have had a WTB thread up for a month looking for Rudy, Ondiin, and Leepy. I'm really kicking myself for not ordering Rudy.

 

Ah man a month? Any offers? ;;
I saw an Ondiin fs earlier this year and I'm kicking myself for not jumping on it. I even asked Soom if they had any but no dice ; ; The did look though which was sweet of them

 

No offers yet sadly. I had an awesome DOAer who messaged me directing me to someone they knew on FB who was selling a Rudy, but by the time I got a chance to message her she had already sold it. TT.TT
At first I was really stingy with how much I'd offer, so I upped my offer a little to see if maybe that was the issue. I'm just guessing that people who buy them really hold on to them.

I hope that they re-release Ondiin too. It's really awesome that Soom looked to see if they still had one for you. I always did wonder what happened to the dolls that people ordered and fell through with. Certainly they don't wait until every single person has paid before casting all the dolls.

Good luck looking though! I know EXACTLY how you feel. I'm more interested in Rudy, but I feel like I've been scouring the Earth this past month looking for one. Naturally though, if I buy another doll there will be a flood of Rudy's everywhere

 

OMG this exactly. I feel like they always pop up as soon as you're not looking anymore. I bought a Soom Han/Asronn second hand a month before Soom rereleased them again >,>
