Soom Teenie Gem and Monthly Doll Discussion Part 14

I really want a Afi in tan skin, i wrote Soom.. but they not planing a rerelease TT-TT

 

Does anyone know the s hook size that the teenie gems use for their feet?

 

Based on the chart on this page: S-Hook - The Gem
It seems to suggest that the Teenie Gems use size 14mm for the foot and 11mm for hands, but I don't remember the s-hooks being different sizes for the feet & hands in my Teenies, so I'm not completely sure if I'm interpreting the chart accurately or if I just didn't notice the difference. It seems like they are smaller than that?

My babies aren't super accessible to me right now, or I'd measure myself. Maybe someone else can?

 

@Kelaria thank you so much for the link!

 

Soom will open a free choice Event soon

 

I haven't seen news of this in my usual haunts, have they officially announced it anywhere?

 

They announced it on their Instagram back on September 30th but haven't posted anything about it since then.

 

In all fairness they have not released anything for a while now. I wonder what is going on.

 

They wrote under a Post the Teenie Event ist soon... lets see when xD

 

The new teenie gem event is up and I love it! Such a cool idea to have like a mix and match event! I haven't wanted a new teenie in a long time but now I might need one! The premade sets are pretty neat, but I would probably mix and match my own set!

 

The Myz Teenie Gem is pretty cool! I'm tempted.. There are no images shown of the model wearing these Rabbit Ears in either listing, though.. Do you think they're just a more-fluffified version of the Flint & Hawa ear? (the downward Bunny ears are shown on one of the premade mixes, but I'm having trouble discerning if they are different from what has been sold on older releases, like Honey and Bunny.) The cat ears, similarly, are more fluffy looking than what I can find around the site.

And the wings are nice, I'm a little surprised they are asking $50+ for them, though.. maybe they took a lot of sculpting labor, so it might be understandable.. Or(?!) does ordering the wings upgrade the torso part to have the magnet ports, maybe?

Anyone with more expertise? Are these all-new parts for this release? Or are there pics of these ears/wings/tails out there?

 

I am so sad, no Afi again.

But i really like the elf wings and antlers

 

Man!!! The variety for body customization is so great, but I was really hoping this event would let you choose from all of their Teenie sculpts. I guess it's better for my wallet that way...

 

I'm a pretty big Soom fan (especially Teenie Gems) and though it's nice to finally see a sign of life, it's also a bit disappointing to me. I knew that a full rainbow Free Choice was never going to happen, but the standard peony white + cream skin combo is pretty lackluster.

Nevertheless, I tried to compile a list of part origins because I was curious. Made me nostalgic seeing all those past Teenie Gem releases...

When i didnt see the head sculpt i wanted, i first thought, so this is cute but at least i am spared...

after i realized pictures below everything loaded... i was not spared. i may have to plan an order, though i do wish they offered make up services.. but they do offer layaway, and i might have to get two so i can have a head modded close. Kar is so cute!!

also, i did see it says "always on sale", do you think that will be a permanent thing?

 

I am sorely tempted to get a new body for my Lukas and sell the new head, ngl. Especially if I can have the Han/Asronn tail to match his sister.

 

@Collie I think the bear legs are from Syen , I used to have that one. Syen had the stubby hands and the demon wings too (they might be slightly different but seems similar to me) .

I sorely miss my Syen, shouldn't have sold him, and this release has me all nostalgic. The stubby hands are honestly pretty silly, wish I could choose more than one set of hands!

 

I've never bought a Soom doll before, but all these fantasy options are winning me over!

I noticed that all the example dolls have either a pair of ears, or a pair of horns and never both. Does anyone more familiar with these lil guys know if wearing both at once is possible? I'm kind of assuming they have to be swapped with each other, but idk for sure.

 

Oh, you have a good point! Since the heads on offer do have ears built-on, I doubt that there would be additional magnet ports down lower. Maybe there's a space for them behind the forehead, such as where some sculpts wear oni horns? You've got me wondering how far ahead they may be thinking, for customization..

The alternate ears or horns could still be magnetized just fine through a wig though. I'll plan to do this, now that you mention it. May need something like a 10mm neodymium magnet for each of the additional parts.

Oh, those legs and foot parts are neat, but I think they're different, after all. The new ones are more roundy at the toes, and more fluffy around the ankles, but I see the resemblance for sure! Sorry you regret releasing your lil Syen back into the wild! Maybe he'll fly his way back into your home someday!
Just wanted to be sure you saw: with this build-your-own offer, you do still get a pair of the regular human hands, shins, and feet along with any fantasy ones you may choose. The fantasy parts are just added on to the default setup.

Edit to add! Sorry if you got pinged by my comment / quote, but thank you for your research and sharing your expertise @Collie! All those examples and references are very helpful!!

 

I so want the fullset of the Crimora Kar. It is a pity that they are not offering the faceup and blushing.
