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 Discussion (Basic, Limited & Special Order) - Part 13

Jan 4, 2022

    1. Possibly... I just remember seeing a sale post for a Super Gem girl that wasn't very old, described as some kind of purple color with "no yellowing", and yet in the photos she was literally pale green. I wrote a comment asking if they got the color wrong but was informed that all dolls cast in this resin color had the same drastic color change... :aeyepop:
       
    2. There was also a light purple for Migma and Arkose & from what I can see it just turns grey over time :/

    3. @overlordu I bought that girl lol! She was a Soom Light Violet Amber from the Ldoll special release. She had yellowed to a very light grey with a mint cast, a very pretty color but definitely not purple. I think this new color will be different though, it looks more pigment than the LV was.

    4. I will cross my fingers her purple holds well when mine gets here! It's so pretty! I got one of the light Violet Amber for a friend a few years ago and I believe hers has held up pretty well?

      @lunarbackbone How is your gorgeous gal on the color these days? You should drop a pic hehe
       
    5. Congratulations to everyone who likes Beryl! I'm still holding out for a Coquina or a Gneiss.
       
    6. Aha! Yeah she was definitely a nice color, but I was SO confused because it wasn't violet in any way. :XD: This new color is different enough that I'm hoping it's more lightfast. I want more fantasy colors in my collection but I'm trying to keep in mind how they might age *_*
       
    7. Crap! I already have two irons in the fire. Better half says if I did she'd have to be a full set (cause they like the horns and hooves) and purple. I wish she had the heels with the nub feet. I love those on my smoke Beryl. Sigh. She just isn't green.....
       
    8. I hope you get a green one down the line! I have been hoping for a purple Beryl for 10 years, it can happen! ...and if the released a green Vesuvia, too... oh my wallet is whacking me upside the head repeatedly for such expensive daydreams! :lol:

    9. oh man, if green vesuvia even happened, I would be on that at light-speed. as is, Purple Beryl is killing me a little, because I have no clue who she'd be, but I adore her.

    10. I have the purple Beryl on order! :D:sumomo::wantshipping: I ordered her with just her fantasy parts. And her eyes. And Soom face paint.

      For those of you who cannot get enough blue Sard spam, I come bearing gifts. Here is my blue Sard, Cerulean:

    11. congrats, @Cat ^..^ - I was checking Beryl out on Soom site today and she looks sooooo good in purple. I'm sure she will turn up fantastic!

      I noticed also there is going to be Nephelin released later this month. On the promo picture, the colour on the right is definitely peony white, but the one on the right... is it possible she might be in blue? :ablink: Can't decide if this looks more like grey or like powder blue to me...

    12. It looks blue to me!!! I’m hoping she is :D
       
    13. Thank you, solinvictus! :D

      I agree with taltosgirl. She definitely looks blue to me! Wow. It would be nice if she is.:love
       
    14. I think I may end up getting a Nephelin! She looks really pretty, even in the teaser pic

    15. Agreed! She looks so lovely :)
       
    16. My lovely Heliot (named Jamil) arrived last week, and I painted him this past weekend.

      Now all that's left is for his dark/wine red wig to arrive as the first one I got him was sent to me in the wrong size...

    17. He’s so beautiful!!! The red emanating around his horn is so looks dimensional with the line work and the blushing together there!!
       
    18. Hahaha! I already harassed Soom and got what I wanted. I'm good for now, says my wallet. I do have to focus on my character development. I have at least 8 faceups, several wigs, and we are not discussing clothes/shoes..... it doesn't end.
       
    19. :dance *happy dance* :dance

      Erebus (my grey Cosmos Heliot) is on the move!
      Customs in California has him at the moment, but with any luck he should be here in Seattle in a few days.

    20. @Chameleon - Thank you so much for your kind words on Jamil! I have the too big red wig on him currently, but his newly ordered wig just hit the EU so it may arrive this coming week to me, which is exciting! I can't wait to have him look as I imagine him. I won't blush his hooves, even if they'd look really awesome painted, because I hate how easily it chips...

      @Brightfires - Congrats!! I hope he makes it soon into your hands. Mine arrived roughly 1.5 weeks ago, but he is cream white. I still need to tighten his stringing, again. He is a loosely strung floppy-boi, but I still love him.
