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 Spinel discussion

    1. He really kind of does look like Ashton Kutcher, but he didn't look at all like him when he was blond and stuff for his first released with Emma. xD

      Now that I've seen his faceup for this I don't like him as much. I think its his eyebrows and eyemakeup. I don't know...

    2. The Special Set Spinel was listed as being 65cm tall.

    3. *__* ~ he's the perfect height~ perfect perfect ~ And soon NS matches volks pureskin right?

      All the possibilities....

    4. I always heard that Soom NS matched Luts NS... :/ I wonder which it is because if he'll decently match my 2005 Breakaway head, I think my boy will get a new body.

    7. i really wanna know, is his face actually carved with a butt chin (no offense meant, it's a very handsome chin, i just can't find other words to describe it T T I really like it) or is it the make up and his chin is actually just normal shape?

      gah...65 CM? TVT i was hoping he'd be taller than 70 cm. but he is using the mecha angel hands? wouldn't it look too big on him if it looked just right with the 80 cm?

    8. I think it looks really good....at least in the pictures.. XD

      I don't think they are the angel mecha hands..? but a smaller scale maybe?
       
      #48 Ai Kazi, Dec 9, 2007
    9. 65 cm eh? Bummer, that's a bit too short for me. Still, amazing body... :XD:
       
      #49 Mariemisu, Dec 9, 2007
    10. I was hoping he will be taller then my future Ipsae but I guess not,,,
       
      #50 Wuzixu, Dec 9, 2007
    11. Well, I'm GLAD he's 65cm. Anything above that is just too tall and ends up looking awkward to me.
       
      #51 Kurosakura, Dec 9, 2007
    12. I think the hands look somewhat different from Mecha Angel, but honestly I dislike both and hope he will come with normal hands. Exept for the chin, I like his sculpt, but I liked the first makeup the most, not much of a fan of painted beards :| Otherwise his body is really nicely made. And I quite liked the melancholic expression. I am almost wanting one if I could just sand down his chin... and convince Arolin it would be ok:roll:

    13. I noticed his vein on the forearm too. I think I'm in love. For the guy I have in mind, jointed hands will come in... handy (pun so not intended).
       
      #53 ACXchan, Dec 9, 2007
    14. I definitely plan to get Spinel. I love his dark, brooding looks. That bod is really hot too!

    15. I got a reply to my message on their Q&A. I found out that Spinel has peanut-joint elbows (aka double-jointed), and the four-stage locking knees like the Mecha Angels have. Also confirmed that SOOM themselves say their NS resin is a good match to Luts/CP NS resin.
       
      #55 Kurosakura, Dec 10, 2007
    16. Will he come with regular hands as well, I'm really not into the jointed ones?
       
      #56 derilan85, Dec 10, 2007
    17. yeah, because while i like the jointed ones (for poseability), i don't think i could afford it if it adds $150 to the price tag.

      at least not for now. D:
       
      #57 kiradyn_rhiode, Dec 10, 2007
    18. If you look at his listing, the jointed hands is in an optional drop-down menu. I think he will come with regular hands no matter what.
       
      #58 Kurosakura, Dec 10, 2007
    19. Prince.....Thats all I can see, prince look-alike. Would be terribly handsome with out the mustache and just the beard/5 O'clock shadow.
      All in all: *melts @ hands, pretty facial features, and smoky face-up*
      <3 on my wish list now I think...
       
      #59 Oboro, Dec 10, 2007

    20. Second this... He looked so much more pretty and charming with the natural faceup, funny how the entire personality of one sculpt changes. Please do not look like Prince! (Or The artist formerly known as Prince, *insert symbol*, err huh?). I am sorry, I just always pictured him as a weird midget. I must either convince myself of that resemblance to save money, or simply claim Prince would be a MSD and grab the chance to buy another doll.

      Anyone seen their release event? If you purchase Spinel 11th - 25th December, you will get a 50% ticket for the first female super gem! Only wish they would release pictures of her to see if it is worthwhile, I hope she looks very very different from Mecha Angels Vega :|

      *takes another look*

      His body is rather nice, but there are still a couple of worries... am I the only one thinking he sort of... has breasts? I also think the "vein" on his lower arms look awkward, mostly because it is "cut off" at the joint. But he is still a beautiful doll, I think his lips looks like those of Namu, and his belly is very pretty. I also think the body overall is interesting, looking more "sculpture like" than most.
