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 Covell

Jun 25, 2010

    1. Huh, I was thinking he looked somewhat like Buddydoll Julian actually.

      He's pretty much exactly what I expected from Soom when they announced that they'd be phasing out their old SG basics and replacing them with new sculpts: more emphasis on stylization and youthfulness in the same way as their recent MD releases.

      Covell is cute, but he also looks like 90%+ of the other cute boys out there, and thus lacks the distinctiveness of Spinel, Lupin or Lazule.

      If I just wanted a cute boy, I might consider him but I don't like too much stylization in my large dolls. And as noted, the doll world is far from lacking cute boys. I prefer MEN.
       
    2. I like the direction Soom is going with the younger sculpts, but hope they retain their mature style too. I hope they release a girl that resembles any of the monthly girls. That would be awesome :D
       
    3. Wait, where does SOOM say they are phasing out the old sculpts? I might have to get a Dia soon. I'm actually VERY disappointed in this new direction for SOOM. This new sculpts just blends into the crowd in my opinion. I guess I will have to go with a Minimee if I want anymore realistic sculpts. Seems like only Iplehouse is really doing realistic sculpts at this point.

      I just wish there were more sculpts like Dia out on the market. :(

       
    4. I am extremely disappointed. This makes me so sad. They were going in a great direction with their Spinel and Lupin guys, and then they jump backwards with Yet Another Stylized Effeminate sculpt, something I've never felt this hobby has needed too many more of... So sad. I was hoping they'd have more realistic mature men for us.
       
    5. To me this head screams senior delf! I am somewhat dissappointed.
       
    6. I think he looks exactly like Dolkot Adam. He is cute, but I liked the previous sculpts a lot more. This, as others have said before, just gets in the line with most other guys out there.
       
    7. I guess I'm with the majority here, he's cute enough but just that typical "cute inoffensive androgenous" look that every other company also makes. Soom and Iplehouse were the only ones actually making "Male" dolls for us... guess soon Iplehouse will be the only ones?
       
    8. He's too young looking for that mature body, so not my cup of tea.
       
    9. I have a feeling its the same sculptor too because the eyes and lips have a slightly similar style to other sg.
       
    10. He looks like a very young Heliot.
       
    11. And Unidoll. nothing more manly-er than a Jace
       
    12. I can't see how that baby face will work on the beefy super gem body, it will look so bizarre. :-S
       
    13. Not impressed!!!.....would rather have Spinel or Lazule any day.....he's too baby faced for that manly body. :o
       
    14. He's very cute, but I would most likely make him a girl. xD I really adore his face. I hope the release him in cream white as well.
       
    15. I think he's gorgeous!! <3 I'm one of the few I guess that don't like the super mature Dia and Lupin so he's exactly up my alley.Soom doesn't make dolls just to please one person so just because he's not for you doesn't mean the next won't be. ;)
       
    16. I like him,even if he have a younger face BUT:
      what if soom has changed also the body sculpt?
      The hands imo don't look exactly to super gem hands...
       
    17. he's now up for sale.
       
    18. I don't even see him on the site; where did he go? Even if he was sold out wouldn't there be a picture? There is just a black circle under "young artists"
