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 Super Gem Carnel!

Sep 7, 2009

    1. I really really really really horribly want Crom's head, I have to say. He is the sexiest beast in existence. He'd also make a darn good girl, I think.
      Hmm I think someone needs to start a Soom crossdress thread?

      If I can't find a cheap Crom head, I'll probably give in and get Carnel, and try do the faceup on him.. :(
      He's a good silver medal.
       
    2. The cream-white Carnel looks like Edward Scissorhands to me... Anyone else see that?

      Neat guy - I do like the Olivine face, and have wondered what she would look like as a boy.
       
    3. Was gonna say.. My main reaction to this new doll is "What a feminine face... He'd make a lovely She.."
       
    4. I loooove this guy in the WS pics XD
       
    5. I love WS dolls lately, but I just can't get into his WS faceup :( I don't know why yet either... Maybe it makes him look too feminine.
       
    6. The cool thing about Olivine for me was the pointy face, and I got a head of her to make into a boy.
      To the extent this guy is a male Olivine, his face looks more square. I don't think that's quite what I was after.
       
    7. Agreed!! He looks familiar! I've been drolling *_* over the SG man's body for a long....time. I'm waiting for a suitable head/face for the body.

      I am unable to say much about Carnel (Normal) except that I like him. Sigh. :( :( :( I need time, I'm still traumatized by my Volks F38 Christian. I like Carnel, his lips....

      Yes, indeed! He reminds me of my Volks F38 Christian except that Carnel is better. :( I like the SG body.

      Oh...I think the wig in the promo photo is not the best one for him. He will look more like a man if he wears a darker (brown or dark blonde), shorter wig.:) He is actually very beautiful.
       
    8. OK. Jin Lee responded to my query regarding Carnel's similarity to Olivine. Apparently Carnel is Olivine with a different eye shape and "nect"(?)

      Don't know what a nect is. Maybe a modded jawline or neck?

      Nose, brow, and cheekbones exactly the same.
       
    9. I'm guessing jawline. Olivine's looks sorta triangular over all -- her face is a bit 'upside-down egg'. His looks a little more masculine in that area, so a jaw/neck thing is a good bet.

      They would make an incredible brother/sister pair.

      Dear Soom: stop giving me these ideas, I can't afford them.
       
    10. I'm going to wait for a few owner pics before I pass final judgement on this boy. I love his nose and jawline and profile in general. I do not like the open mouth. I haven't liked any of Soom's open-mouthed sculpts on their large dolls, actually. I'm sure that the teeth could be modded to be less prominent, but lacking any owner pics to see how well that could be done, well .... just gotta be patient then. ;)
       
    11. I would be a little more comfortable with the open mouth if it was done with the 'inset' teeth that were a separate piece. Just seems like blushing would be a thousand times easier without trying to paint teensy teeth in a tiny space.
       
    12. I laughed at first coz I thought he looked like Alain Q_Q
      But geee now I dunno... I think he's kinda cute ><;;;
      Those lips are to die for Q_Q Congratulations Soom for making me Soomed again just when I'm about to think that Sard is getting overrated XD;; (Sard was my first soom love <3)
       
    13. My hope is that SOOM will put up more basics, with original - not reworked - heads, male and female, 'cuz I want an SG girl. It would be so cool if they'd offer separate heads and bodies and maybe FFD offer bodies in special resin like tan, grey, and pearlized colors.

      I'd be Soomed forever! :abow:
       
    14. You know, if they had limited order periods -- even something like twice a year -- to offer their standard releases in the 'odd' colors like the grey, tan, or violet, I would be the happiest creature ever. And even more broke, probably.
       
    15. Somehow I hadn't noticed the listing for normal-skin Carnel... his faceup is more natural style and I think it is more flattering to the sculpt, but if possible his wig is even worse-looking than white-skin Carnel's. :lol:

      I hope someone puts poor Carnel in a fiber wig or a fur wig with bangs. I really do like his features.
       
    16. The cream-white Carnel looks like Edward Scissorhands to me... Anyone else see that?


      That was my very first thought when I saw him. I really like him in white too.
       
    17. So, does anyone know for sure what is going on with Soom at the moment?

      Are they only temporarily discontinuing white skin, or is it a more permanent thing...and will Carnel ever be coming back? He has totally disappeared from their website with no explanation that I can find. I would understand if it was just the white skin version as they seem to be stopping production on those for at least a while...but why has the NS version gone poof as well???
      I was pretty set on making a cream white Carnel one of my doll purchases for the first half of 2010...and now I am thinking I may have to look elsewhere for that character again, which sucks because I really, really liked Carnel for him a lot!
       
    18. Acanthiel: I noticed that too. It makes me really sad! I liked him a lot! Is this something that should be asked on the Q&A board? I don't use it ever, so I don't know...
       
    19. I had my eye on this boy for a long time and really hoped to use my Christmas money for him...
      I asked on their q&a about Carnel and also about WS dolls and got this response:

      I am really...really sad. :(
       
    20. What.....No....no...no...Soom you are so disappointing at the moment. First no IDealian and now this.....*is speechless*

      Maybe no-body brought him. Thanks for letting us know.
