Soom Petit Gem Discussion - Part 1

So I'm working on collecting petit gems and I forgot to order eyes. Sounds like I need to get more 10mms probably? Anyone know if Soom would let me add more to the order? I did layaway... I just got Rudy and Julie. I have Pa-an currently

 

I just contacted them yesterday and they answered right back within 12 hours. I wouldn't see why they wouldn't allow you to add eyes to your layaway.


Also here's their reply this morning concerning more PG's coming:
"We're sorry to say that our dolls are sold only for a certain period of time without having stock or providing a personal order.
And the Petite Gem is expected to be released around this summer, but other details have not been decided yet.
Also please kindly note the release plan with details may be changed due to our internal situations."

So HOPEFULLY there will be another one!!!

She is Gorgeous!!! Just love her!!! She's the one I want most. I want to start designing clothing patterns for them but I've got to have one first! Fingers crossed Soom will go ahead with that planned Summer PG like they mentioned to me this morning!!!

Does anyone have two Petite Gems ... one with 12mm eyes and one with 10mm eyes that they would be so kind as to post a photo so we can see the difference?

THANK YOU SOO MUCH FOR THE TROUBLE IF YOU DO!!!

 

My Rudy has had 12mm Mako eyes:

10mm glass eyes: https://www.flickr.com/gp/taixonay/148qQ3

And finally 8mm glass eyes: Migidoll Jina

In my opinion 12mm is too big. People say that mako 12mm eyes run a bit smaller than other brands, but this was the only position I could get them in. 10mm or 8mm work better imo. Although please forgive how wonky her eyes are positioned.

 

THANKS SO MUCH TAIXONAY!!! So from what I am seeing - it depends on the brand of eye as well. I guess I should focus on FINDING a Petite Gem first!!! . I think I like your 8mm ones the best.

LOVE those light purple eyelashes on the grey resin!!

Okay LAST question ... the 12 and 10mm measurement is for the entire width of the eye (not just the iris) right?

 

Did you see? Going to be new Petit Gem - Rato!
May be it will be mouse?

 

I would love a mouse!!

 

:0 oh my gosh! a new one? i havent checked their site in a while! i'm super excited

 

Couldn’t pass up on Rato and ordered one in peony white, blank, with surprise head and cheese part. Still waiting for my Julie.

 

Wow, does Rato have big ears! I'm still waiting on my FCE duo, but would love to see owner photos of the new one!

 

So what do you all think of the newest petite gem: "Rato - Cheese Grabber"???

Rato - Cheese Grabber - The Gem

Dying to get a petite gem but not so thrilled with my first option. So sad .. just not fond of the huge ears ... otherwise Id buy him.

 

At first I was like, no. Then I went and looked at his sales page and saw the surprise face and I really liked it. The ears don’t bother me enough to not get him. I also have a feeling that Rato will be very rare as I don’t see much interest in him.

 

The eyewells can fit 8-10mm, 12mm is too big go to the back of the eyewells correctly. They can fit cross eyed and in one position only with gapping.
Soom Petit Gem eyes are 10mm with a large size iris (6mm).

 

I passed on Rato, but I cant wait to see owner pics!!

 

The surprise head is pretty cute in white, and I could use the tail for another tiny I have, but I'll still have to pass on him too.

I'm short on money anyway after bills and getting two of the free choice ones.

 

Like the white better but money is too hard to come by ... not getting him. Those huge ears remind me of megaphones. sooo sad

 

I ended up ordering the smokey gray Rato but requested the city mouse face up with it instead.
I wanted to come in here and ask if anyone with a petit gem would let me know what the diameter of their wrists and the fat part of their lower leg is (just under the knee)? Soom doesn't mention those measurements and I'm working on sewing an outfit for my Rato before he arrives.

 

Diameter of the wrist joint is 0.8cm. The lower legs thickest part isn't under the knee though, but more in the middle. Circ. directly under the knee is 3.2cm, thickest part is 3.6cm

 

God they're so tiny... I can't get over how small this pattern is.

Thank you very much!

 

I'm hoping to make mine clothes based on the patterns I use for my Puki Pukis. I'll wait until I get them to start though. I'm impressed people can make anything but gathered skirts from measurements. You must be better at pattern drafting and math than I am!

 

I finished bodyblush for my 2 dolls, and faceup for Rudy Super proud!
