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 Gems 'Olivine' and 'Lazule'

Apr 2, 2008

    1. Posted this in the SOOM thread, but I'll show her here too. Here is a quick photo of my - still nameless - Olivine. She's off with my Mutti getting some clothes made, but I took a quick pic after I did her faceup. Pardon the photoshopping to hide my desk clutter.

    2. Wow she looks very beautiful~ Your face up is gorgeous ! Thanks for sharing the pic and Congratulation~~
       
    3. I think Olivine is utterly gorgeous, I want her sooo much!
       
    4. I like Olivine's face, she looks very feminine, I think.
       
    5. Lyn_r > ohh your Olivine is so beautiful !! And looks very feminine.
      Is that possible to get more pictures ?
       
    6. I thought Spinel was one dreamy guy, but Lazule takes the biscuit for me. I think he's perfect. I like his expression which I feel could look different easily with lighting and such. He'll have to be the one that gets away though, alas, just too expensive for me.
       
    7. Im waiting on a Lazule at the moment in cream white, should be another months wait according to Soom. Ill take plenty of pictures, dont worry! Im in Cornwall UK, which is far away from everyone else in the UK, Id love for people to see him!
       
    8. Hi!
      Aside from introducing myself in the intro thread, this is my first post on DOA, so I'm hoping I'm not asking questions that have been asked a thousand times.

      I stumbled across the Soom doll Dia-Rose Queen, and am seriously considering getting her. I like more mature looking dolls who have a less anime look to the face... a more 'human' look I suppose. My question is, do any of you have the Rose Queen? I would LOVE to see 'real' photos!

      I loved Lyn_r's photo of Olivine! She looks so much prettier than she did on the website. What a lovely face. Honestly, I think she needs Lazule as a companion. Their faces 'blend', I think.
      :doh Question! How does she pose? Are you pleased with her articulation?

      If I get Dia, she will be my first BJD, so I'm trying to get all the info I can so that I don't screw up!!!:roll:
       
    9. Thanks! Glad you like her. I can't wait to get her back from my Mutti's so I can take more pics of her. :P

      She poses well and can touch her face with the double jointed elbows. I did have to hot-glue her hips and torso joint though to get her to stand reliably. Now she poses like a champ. (The hot glue is just to provide "grip" for the resin - not to glue the joints together).

      And as a side note for anyone curious - her body is roughly the same proportions as a large busted Elfdoll girl, so I imagine Elfdoll clothes may fit. Her legs are longer though. This info is based on using patterns (Adams-Harris) that were fitted to Elfdoll girls. They fit with basically no adjustments other than length.
       
    10. I can't wait for owner pictures. :aheartbea I've been searching him on DoA ever since he was introduced and so far, no one has gotten him. Did you order him with a faceup or blank?
       
    11. Lyn_r, thank you! And I'm so glad you explained the glue thing!*_* I thought you meant you glued her hips and legs together! duh!!!:doh:doh I had a moment of horror there.
       
    12. Blank, but Im doing my own face up, or failing what I want I have an artist to back me up. I have a specific look for him planned, nothing radical, just more shadowy looking. I love the default face up though, Soom do great face ups, but this time I want to see Lazule with a different face up.
       
    13. Has anyone gotten Lazule yet? I need a body for my Alain and was going to order a Super Gem for him to share a body with, but I want to see Lazule in owner photos before deciding between Lazule and Spinel.
       
    14. I have a Lazule, but at the moment hes being faced up. When I get him back this week I will be posting plenty of photos of him. Hes absolutely gorgeous. My all time favourite sculpt Ive ever owned.
       
    15. Aww Can't wait for your Lazule , I really wanted him well Im planning to get him he's like the little brother to Killian (souldoll) and Spinel.
       
    16. Congrats! I can't wait to see either. :)
       
    17. I have posted some new photos of my Lazule up in the gallery. Here is a couple for you to see :)

    18. Oh, my goodness!:love He is so handsome!
      Congratulations on owning this terrific guy.:celebrate
       
    19. honestrabbit - Congrats on your Lazule! He has an awesome faceup. I'm going to go check out the gallery!
       
    20. Lazule looks gorgeous in those photos. :aheartbea I love his mouth and his eyes are wonderfully thoughtful... This face up does wonders for him.

      I definitely think Lazule is the one for me. :love
