Soom Teenie Gem and Monthly Doll Discussion Part 14

so charming! congrats

 

Thanks I want to try take some nicer pics of her asap!

 

The wig suits her so well!! How does the green resin look in person? It's so pretty in the picture and the green of the wig compliments it perfectly!

 

I love the green resin. I was so worried it was going to be too pale. I feel like thier 'violet' resin is very light, but the green is very green I'll see if I can get some pictures of her with green things soon so u can compare. Obviously she's not as green as grass but she's still quite green

 

I think I would prefer that (not as green as grass, but still green enough to not be too subtle). More pictures would be awesome!

 

The green is really nice. I have a Selen in the purple, and I was disappointed with how pale it is... (Of course I was already a bit prejudiced - I had voted for the yellow... )

I have told myself to hold off on buying any dolls at the moment - I'm still in the middle of my grand project of cataloging and dressing the dolls I have.
I have portraits of all my Soom babies now, and they're all fully dressed, with proper wigs. I just noticed I do have some face-ups to clean up.

I do love everyone's pictures.

 

I have a violet/purple soom doll (yarn/Silky scorpion baby ) and it is very pale luckily I'm just in love with her face and tail. And I think if you really don't mind the work, faceups and body blushing can improve the colour. But it is disappointing how pale it is. That's why I'm pleasantly suprised by the green! I was so worried she was going to arrive and not be green enough for my character. But shes perfect

 

Still trying new outfits. And while I love this 'style' for her, Black really doesn't feel right for her. Still, looks damn pretty xD

So I intended to take pictures of her with green things... turns out, I don't 'have' many green things and its been nonstop raining, so no outside pics either I Did get to compare the Soom green resin with the Peakswoods green resin and the Soom green leans more towards 'green' while Peakswoods leans more towards turquoise in my opinion and is slightly lighter. If any1 wants to see let me know, although I don't think the picture shows it very well :/

 

I have a purple baby too (Rico Jr) and I would definitely prefer if she was a bit more purple. I did get a custom face-up & purple blushing on her shell ear parts, and I dress her in purple, which helps! I definitely wish the Rico Jr release had come with a purple mermaid tail instead of dark blue, since that would help emphasize that she's purple, but I still love her!

@Mushoom I hope you find the perfect outfit for her! That one is so fancy, but I agree the black feels maybe a bit too harsh/intense for her. I hope you get to take some outside pics soon!!

 

How often does Soom release their MD teenies now? I always wanted one since I first got into the hobby in 2009 but never really could until now. And it doesn't seem like they release them a bunch anymore.

 

I’d say it’s one every 2-3 months, which feels like it’s been that pattern for a while now? They just had one last month (Baby Puss in Boots)

Frankly I’m more concerned that they haven’t posted a release calendar since September.

 

I got two one layaway second hand. So excited to finally have my own Teenie Gem(s).

I was also wondering when they changed the glot/glati hooves? The new ones have that big round joint and it looks really weird to me. Also thoughts on Pale Violet? I know the color doesn't last long but I have seen it turn green, turn grey, turn white?

 

Both of my purple ones mellowed to more of a soft, cool blue.

 

My dolls are currently packed away in storage so I can't really measure for myself. What size magnets are used for the headcaps? I have a Keny who has the original magnets and they are losing their strength but also breaking apart. I know I can order the magnets off Amazon, I just don't know what size to get.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I finally got my first Soom Teenie. Just waiting on another now to be shipped. This size is impossibly cute

 

Do they usually release a calendar? (I’ve been out of the hobby for like 10 years)

 

Yes they’ll usually post a “calendar view” around the beginning of each month with what they expect to release on which day in that month.

 

Thank you for telling me!

 

I can’t believe it’s been over a decade since I bought Atharios!

 

Better late then never right? A pic of RosariePea with green stuff! To show how green she is? or is not? I think shes quite green
