Soom Teenie Gem and Monthly Doll Discussion Part 14

Their heads do tend to be on the smaller side. I've found that Monique wigs in 6/7 are a really good fit.

 

Seconding the suggestion for the Monique wigs in 6-7.
Also, if you can get one of these rubber bands they use to label organic and put it around the head, it helps to keep slightly too large wig on. I have one for each of my TGs that use fur wigs.
(Sorry the photo is a bit big. It was used as a faceup reference photo for when I sent my Skoll out for customizing.)

 

Thanks for the suggestion I'll check them out now!

Oh I'll keep an eye out for those! Thanks

 

@Loganberry, 6-7 tends to be the size for Teenie Gems. Although some 6-7 wigs are closer to the 7 side and some are closer to the 6 side. So it might just be bad luck.

I've always had pretty good luck with LeekeWorld wigs (which I tend to buy through Denver Doll Emporium to save on shipping... although a group order is also an option). My Lilid wears a LeekeWorld wig that I got through a group order.

Here she is, my little Eleya:

 

Eleya is so pretty! I really can't wait to get a body for mine!

I had a look at monique and leekeworld but I'm in the UK and shipping is so expensive and then I'd have to pay custom charges on top of it!

I've found a dollzone wig in stock in the UK on angelesque. The doll it's on head circumference is 16.5, it's advertised as 6-7 so hopefully it's on the smaller side.

 

You'll want to get a body from dolls that came at the same time as, or after, the first Rru/Lilid release. That was the first time that I know for sure that Soom's cream white resin changed to be much whiter.
Aww, that's a bummer.... If the dollzone wig doesn't work out (I hope it does!), you might be able to find a UK based group order where everyone splits the customs fee, so it's less.

Speaking of bodies... I still technically need one for my human Beyla. That's gonna be tough though.. since I'm gonna have to try to find a body from the 2009 releases so it will be a better match. >.<

In other news... my Rico Jr girl is on the way to my town from Springfield, MO! It's just too bad she didn't leave just a little bit earlier... she would have been here today! >.< Looks like I have to wait until Monday (and possibly Tuesday because of work). So close!! But still so far away. :P

 

I'm actually planning on getting impldoll aimee and putting lilid on that body. That body has cat paws and I've read that impldoll is a good resin match and size ect for soom teenies. I'm not too bothered about the resin being an exact match.

The wig will really only be tempory as I'm planning to save up for one from amadiz studio but who knows how long that will take!

The last few days of a wait are always the hardest! I hope you get her soon

 

So true!

 

I added tiny spikes to my Orion's nails. Thought I'd share a picture here, hehe.



He thinks he's a little punk,

Congrats on your Rico Jr.! I wish her a safe and speedy arrival!

Yay! Congrats!

Congrats on your Lilid!

My Pyrol wears a 6-7" wig, but I keep it tight using a braided headband. In the past, he wore a 6-6.5" Leekeworld wig that fit perfectly. Only problem is it also stained his head...

 

Thank you so much!

And good eye! Yes, one side is black and the other is silver. Those are his signature colors, I suppose. I'm working on his accessories atm... I bought him some tools and plan to paint them silver and black, too.

 

She's here!! I have her box in my hands!! But I can't open her until we get home later...
Waiting is gonna be SO HARD! But I've waited this long... so I think I can wait just a little bit longer... *sigh*

Here she is....


Want to open so bad.... >.>

 

^That's super exciting can't wait to see pics

Oh that's a great idea about the headband I think I'll give that ago, I've seen lots of cute ones!

 

I don't have time to finish going through my box opening photos tonight, but here is a teaser of my girl!



Her name is Aria. She's quite lovely! Sorry that the lighting is so yellow in the photo. I wanted to take photos in natural lighting, but because of my work schedule that was impossible... so this lighting had to do. I'll take better photos this weekend when I can do so during the day!

If I don't slack off (or get stuck at work during my break tomorrow), I should have the box opening photos done tomorrow evening. I hope!

 

@AirimirOfGondor, it's actually not black. It's a really gorgeous dark blue that didn't show up in the photo because of how awful the lighting is. (Plus this photo is from FB messenger and isn't a good quality photo to begin with)

It's got this pearlescent sheen and it's really gorgeous! I look forward to sharing more photos tomorrow!!

 

wow, cool! *____*
mine is still on her way......

 

Here we go! Box opening photos!!!


The Little Mermaid

 

She's crazy cute! Love her little smile.
