Soom Trachi & Lami Discussion [April MDs]

Apr 6, 2011

    1. O_O that is quite alot pinker than i expected....hope i won't mind it
       
    2. Aaah, foiled. ;)

      I got the same picture from Soom, but I've been good and haven't been staying up until it's evening in Korea so I haven't had a chance to post until now.

      Baby Pink actually looks more shimmery to me, a bit like Vesuvia. Maybe I'm just seeing things.

      And yep, I'm still on the fence too. The character I want this doll for was darker-skinned a few years ago, back when I used to work on him a lot but... He's had a major make-over and changing skin colours isn't out of the question either, especially because the rest of the doll is just perfect with the thought that pink will probably age better than regular NS.

      Boy is he gonna make my other tiny look jaundiced straight out of the box though... O_O
       
    3. If baby pink is shimmery I AM DOOMED and have to have it!!!! Arghh that would be so bad!
      I've already ordered Trachy but, shimmery pink would make me want Lami as well!!!
       
    4. The shimmery effect may be the blushing that's on the pink resin...but hopefully we'll get a look at 'em in the Soom store, 'in the wild' as it were, LOL! Now believe me, I endorse spending time at the salon, girl, but bring your camera, that's all, LOLOL! :lol:

      .hlp
       
    5. The baby pink is kinda cute actually i was wondering how much of a difference there would be :3
       
    6. I'm still of the opinion baby pink looks alot like Dream of Doll's pink resin. It didn't look shimmery to me, just blushed. The normal skin tone is fairly yellow in comparison, though the overall change is subtler. I like it, better than normal skin, at least!
       
    7. Oh dear 0.0
      Mnnn...I wish for a baby pink, not so PINK.
      Its quite lovely anyways, I hope it goes well with my other dolls =/. I dont want to have him next to the others and catching all the atention XD I still love Lami no matter what, so, i better get use to this pinkish.
       
    8. Yeah..DOD can be quite pink..thats what it looks like to me. I dont think it would bother me..Im still on the fence about ordering Lami..I want him..but I dont know if i can come up with the money..unless I use my credit card and re-imburse myself after my one doll up sells.
       
    9. Pink put me off my last MSD boy. I was not a fan of it- on the website, DoD pink looks kind of peachy, but I pulled my Si out of the box and I was like, 'oh'.

      See, my partner and I share a Dream of Doll Too, only he's super old and yellowed, like buttercream. I was expecting more of a...not buttercream, but a strawberries and cream, not a bubblegum.

      Don't get me wrong, the pink tone in both companies is nice (in Soom's case, I like it better than NS) but now I'm extra glad I ordered Silt in filthy red skin. :D
       
    10. Dream of Doll resin is exactly what I thought of when I saw the comparison photo, especially DOD resin from the 2008-2009 batches.
       
    11. I'm seeing a bit of shimmer on the pink guy's thumb meat-area-thing. You can't see the same anywhere on the NS hand. It's very possible that it's just the reflection off the MSC, or the texture of the resin (or, they put those sparkles into the body blushing). I know that they really advertised the shimmer effect on Vesuvia, but it's not the case here, so I may just be seeing things.
       
    12. No, I definitely a more shimmery color to the resin, in general. As to whether that's the resin ITSELF or sparkles..or whatever..hm..not sure how I feel about it. I really like the pink guy tho. I dont want a red one 'cuz the face-up is cuter on the NS one. ;_; At this point who knows if I'll even be getting one.
       
    13. Sparkly pink resin! You guys, now your Lami dolls can all match those limited edition, sparkly pink Edward Cullen barbie dolls! 8D 8D 8D 8D!

      Do you think they have interchangable heads?!?!?!

      PeppermintPocky: Yeah, I think my boy was made late 2009, December, or early 2010, like, January... he was so pink, I kind of just wanted to leave him out to yellow for awhile. I mean it was cute, but....I dunno, I've always preffered yellowy white to pinky white. I still dislike Volks' new whiteskin to Pureskin Snow. :P
       
    14. Oh, I like the pink! I almost talked myself out of getting Lami until I saw how cute the pink resin is. Those that mention that Lami's color looks like DoD resin - does this apply to the resin they currently use as well? Does it age well? I have DoD dolls from 2004 and they weren't that pink, but I love the way they aged - very creamy. I love pink and now am also intrigued by DoD, sigh.
       
    15. Well, the shimmer itself isn't as big of a turn-off. It'll just make my little demigod more ~~dazzzzzzling~~.

      I'm still not sure it's in the resin though, because it's not mentioned anywhere, and I remember when Vesuvia came out they even like, had a little swatch of resin colour with arrows pointing to it all "look over here!" or something like that.

      ETA: DoD resin... I believe they switched around 2006/07 (? maybe later ?) to this reeaaally pink resin that made hybridizing very difficult, but I don't know if they still use it, and it varies from batch to batch.
       
    16. Here's some DoD pink. I ordered Frog, like I said, in the end of 2009 abouts.

      They still use the resin skintone, though it does vary (slightly) per batch.
       
    17. Wow, that's a pretty big difference. I don't own any DOD dolls (yet ^-^) and none of mine are remotely pink like that. Although most of mine are white skin tone anyway...
       
    18. Dream of Doll only releases white as a limited skintone option. Also keep in mind that the Too on the right is severely yellowed, from 2003-2004, and in the old skin tone to boot. So, while the picture isn't completely accurate, it's definitely a noticable difference. I don't have any other good dolls to compare him to, though. He's darker than my whiteskin Lina, who isn't really white, but a very light cream, slightly pink colour. Whereas my Si, he was just pink.
       

    19. Hahaha understood xDD
      Gotta get my salon time in so I can look good for rolling around Seattle and getting very very fat (that is basically what I predict for this vacation.. excessive weight gain.. not so good since I'm supposed to be going the other direction but, how often do I get to go to Seattle? xDD).. but I will do my best!

      Bad thing though is that as of today, they still haven't ARRIVED at the Soom store!
      They were supposed to be there on the 10th but apparently they haven't gotten there yet. x_x

      Also, turns out that the Soom lady is leaving, probably around the end of May when they find someone else!
      This is so sad for me because I really liked her, and who knows if her replacement will be as nice!!!
      Wonder if she just can't handle being in Japan right now? I mean, we're basically being told that these aftershocks (some of them are big.. like 7+ big up north) could continue for 3 months to even a year or more.... I can understand how people who don't see this as there home would just make a run for it. I mean, we're all safe because buildings are just TOUGH here.. but it's still not exactly fun!!!
      Could see why she mind leave... T_T

      ANYWAY back on topic.. I really.. kind of.. want that pink resin.
      I'm thinking if it was blushed realy really pink, it would end up looking fantasy pink.
      I could use the basic head, then the surprised head on Trachy as I already plan to.
      ... but I don't need 2 devils.. I don't even need one devil (not sure I'll use Trachy's) tail.. and if Soom don't release other baby pink dolls, I'll never be able to get different fantasy parts for her.. hmmm.
       
    20. I just ordered a Trachy, I'm so excited! I'm not so keen on the surprised head, though.
