Soom Teenie Gem and Monthly Doll Discussion Part 14

Teaser images for Shonki/Appini are up, and it looks like we’re getting it in purple! I was really hoping we’d see a come back of the OG black resin, especially when they did that limited Dune/Nor in a similar color not too long ago… But I’ll take purple.

 

Saw this as well, and it's a tad disappointing to be honest. I LOVE the circus/carnival theme, but it feels like Soom only ever releases dolls in peony white, tawny, or light violet nowadays.

 

I think they go through phases. For a while gray felt like the default “alternative resin color.”

I do miss some of the other weird colors like green, brick red, mango, and dark brown. I’m sure it’s just because they difficult colors to cast.

 

Oh man... this might spell trouble for my wallet. Is that purple, or grey with blushing?

 

To me it looks like grey with purple blushing, but I could be wrong!

Thankfully, I'm safe. Not that I've had any money to spend on dolls in a long time anyway! I still feel bad that I still almost never take out my current babies for photos... I am going to FL to visit with my family early next month and I wish I could take at least one doll with me, but I have no room in our suitcases (and I want to focus on this being my 3-year-old son's first time on a plane and at the beach)! It still feels like I'm missing out on some great photos though... I have some awesome ones from when I went years back and took my Soom Rico Jr mermaid girl!

 

I think it should be peony white and gray? Anyway, we'll have an answer soon.

 

Looks like it is peony white and grey. I think I'm going to pass, though. I'm still holding out hopes for a centaur or a deertaur...

 

Went with a peony white basic head full set I'm excited for my little cutie. I did have a grey set in my basket too, but talked myself down from it because the actual grey teenie I want is a pointy-eared Grit/Syen -I'm still salty about missing out on them, even though it was two years ago.

 

So after having her blank since I got her 8 years ago! She's finally not blank! And even though I'm not great at faceups and such I'm super happy with her! I just wish she would tell me her name +.+

 

She's adorable!

 

Thanks And after watching my fav youtuber (girlwiththedogs) She now has a name! Lupa I've been thinking of putting eyelashes in (I dont usually as I'm clumsy and end up squashing/bending them) But I kinda want to as I want to add blonde/white eyelashes, which sounds odd I know, but after meeting a golden retriever today, and noticing her lovely blonde eye lashes I've been inspired! I could always take them out if they look awful...

 

So after toying with clothes and selling all her family (I'm a monster) I think Mischa needs a complete character change, name and everything ... I've got her story down, and I know shes gona have 2 names. The one she was given (that she hates and wants to forget) and the one she's picked for herself. I know her born name is Novalise. Still thinking about the name she chose...

 

Soom's going to be doing a Best Choice event this month! Whichever doll gets the most votes will be re-released.

Sabie/Selen is one of the contenders!

Also in the race are Smokey Onocentaur, Dear My Bunny Feny and Necy, Leave Elve Viol and Ling, Valar of Nature Ario and Argil and Raucor of Destruction Carbon and Luxalla.

I'm really hoping more people than just me vote for Sabie! Especially if we get the option for that original dark brown resin *fingers crossed* although if they offer mango for Viol, that's a tempting vote.

 

@baxterbrat I came here to say basically EVERYTHING you said! Please please please vote for Selen/Sabie! Even if we don’t get that gorgeous brown resin I have been hunting for this doll secondhand for a decade.

 

I'll try to remember to leave a Selen/Sabie vote for you guys

 

Yes! This is the first actual possible rerelease of them and I really hope that even if they don't win they get enough votes for Soom to decide they deserve a rerelease of some sort!

I think I've seen all of three of the them posted online? But never for sale! I think they truly are the rarest of the teenie gems, which sucks, because I feel like if there were more owner pics, more people would see their cuteness?

@Mushoom thank you!

 

The only ones I can think of that I see less than Selen are the OG Nive (the mermaid one, I would pay a decent penny for her too) and the black resin Shonki/Appini. I’d love to see the winky face Happy/Lucky again too.

@Mushoom thanks! I will probably not stop talking about this until the results are announced so you may be reminded anyway…

 

I would love to see Tridy/Trona (the Deviltaurs) again. But out of the ones they listed, I would go for Sabie/Selen, too. Even if they don't offer the brown.

I hope I remember to vote...

 

The voting form is live! Limit one vote per IP so I used my phone on data first and will do my laptop on Wi-Fi later.

The dark brown resin is sadly not an option but Honey Yellow, Light Violet, and Snow Blue are! (Along with normal, tawny, and peony white)

 

I voted for Sabie/Selen and honey yellow - but it was a tough choice between snow blue, tawny and yellow!

*Fingers crossed for Sabie&Selen*
