1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Soom Trachi & Lami Discussion [April MDs]

    1. Are you sure? The information on the description image says that the normal body is neutral, but that the additional body is human. Do they mean gendered, or do they mean neutral? Because the human bodies have always been gendered in the past, though not always offered as an option. So it's hard to say. I sent a message to Soom to doublecheck. ^^;;

    2. As cute as they are, I'm definitely not Soomed this time. These two are just not my cup of tea. I go and hide in my "all-pink-and-cute-corner". ^^

    3. Haha, and that would be why you have a Beyla! This is the rockstar teenie's fifteen minutes of fame, today! ;)

    4. I really want to see more of this pink resin.. is it PINK pink... as in actually a cute baby pink, or is it just another normal resin tone somewhere in the middle of WS and NS?
      If it's a boring normal skin tone, I can pass.. especially as I REALLY cannot afford both of them, but I couldn't say no to fantasy resin baby pink!!!

      As for Trachy, she's definitely coming home, no doubt about it!
      I'm just torn over options.
      The blushing seems almost non existant so why bother paying for it, but I'm really torn with the faceups.
      I can't tell if I want them or not! Right now I'm thinking I might get it one, so at least I'll have a faceup on one head while I'm sorting out all the body blushing myself before I can send the head off.... but then WHICH??
       
      #164 midnitestar7, Apr 8, 2011
    5. Get the faceup on your favourite head! Or the one that would be hardest for Soom to paint! Make them work for your monies!

      Also, this is uh....a dumb question, but what is the wig size of a Teenie Gem. I am really in the dark about these guys, Tiny Dolls are not my usual...thing. For serious.
       
      #165 Splynterhayde, Apr 8, 2011
    6. ...I can't stop thinking that Trachy would look amazing with my Bygg/s :doh
      But Lami's so cute too...fffff -shake fist- It's been a while since Soom's gotten me like this.

      @      Splynterhayde
      They wear 6-7, I believe.

    7. Thank you for not making fun of stupid questions. ;)
       
      #167 Splynterhayde, Apr 8, 2011
    8. I'm actually thinking the other way round! Get the faceup on the head I don't plan to use full time, because I'll be painting that one up to match the blushing I do!
      But I like the Soom faceup enough to have it, and having a faceup head here for those first few weeks/months when I'm trying to get her together will be good!

      Still don't know about Lami though.. it's a really tough decision!
      Plus if I get Lami too, then I'll need sanding which adds to the price.
      I know I SHOULD just get Trachy but.. if that resin is fantasy pink.. I'm going to want it!

      Wig size is uh.. 6-7!

    9. It looks like Dream of Doll pink to me, honest to goodness. It's not that fantasy-like to me. Just very creamy and very art noveau, in terms of colour.

      Then get the open eyed head painted! That makes sense when you put it that way. I'm going to...monsterfy....my little guy. I'm thinking of naming him Havoc. (His 'daddy's name is Bedlam, so it would match, kind of. Any other names anyone could think of?)

    10. A real fantasy pink skin would be dangerous for me too. I really hope there will be better pics of the resin soon, maybe from the Soom shop or someone is asking about it at Sooms Q&A. At the moment it seems like a new shade of normal skin, nothing that big special, but Tacos snow blue skin looked almost grey skin - so unfortunately the Soom Promopics aren't something to rely on about the skin colour.

      I can't decide which head I'd prefer. I love the pointy ears and fangs of the surprise head, but I fear sooner or later it will annoy me if my doll always looks like that. On the other hand I don't like Bygg and Beyla so much- too childlike- and the normal head looks a bit like them.-> that for my plan not to buy another doll before end of summer..... ahhh Soom....

    11. I'm wondering about when the Soom store will be getting them in too.
      I'm going to be on vacation in Seattle for a couple of weeks as of the 20th of this month, so if they don't get into the store before then, I'm probably going to miss them completely.

      At the moment I'm thinking.. Trachy.. with eyes.. and faceup on the OE head only. That's it.
      Won't be too expensive, will give me the Soom faceup that I can use while I'm getting the surprised head sorted out.. and my Trachy is going to be a female fire fairy so, I'll need a totally different outfit and wig and everything!

      If I go for Lami too.. I would probably get the outfit and eyes just cause CUTE.. but I guess maybe blank again so I could paint her up really really pink and make the most of it.
      But if it's a normal skin shade, like it appears at the moment, I'm safe there!

    12. I've been waiting/dreading Soom releasing a Teenie MD that I really like and I think that time has arrived! I'm not so fond of the surprised face (not a big fan of open mouths) but otherwise they're adorable. It's usually the eye shape that makes me not quite quite sure whether I like a Soom tiny but this time they're perfect and I love the solemn expression. I'm not sure whether I have the funds at the moment, so I'll have to check but if I do then I don't think I'm going to be able to resist ordering Lami. Trachy is lovely as well, but I can't really see myself owning a doll in red resin.

      I'm interested to know just how pink the skin is though.

    13. determined not to be Soomed this time, but that surprised head is so abfab but cannot justify getting, in a split or outside of one. Can say for def at this moment in time not Soomed ... does anyone else see PukiPuki in the surprise head?

      think Soom's additional body offer is extremely Good Thinking and will def encourage splits and more business so to speak, well done Soom! :)
       
      #173 kyukyukyu, Apr 9, 2011
    14. Hmm ok Soom are saying they'll be in the store on the 10th so, if I can find the time to get over there, I SHOULD be able to see them!!
       
      #174 midnitestar7, Apr 9, 2011
    15. I think the extra body deal is incredibly business savvy. And...did someone say there's a Soom store in Seattle? Really? I live accross the border from there! :D
       
      #175 Splynterhayde, Apr 9, 2011
    16. No no no, there's only a Soom store in Japan, to my knowledge!

      The Seattle comment was that I'm going over there on a 2 week vacation and so was worried I wouldn't be able to see the at the Soom store here in Tokyo!
      Sorry to get you excited! ^_^;;
       
      #176 midnitestar7, Apr 9, 2011
    17. yay, I always love your photos midnitestar i'm excited to know your first hand impression of the 'baby pink' skin
       
      #177 skyealloway, Apr 9, 2011
    18. Ugh. I keep telling myself to stop looking at Soom's website but I can't. Will this be my Soomed part deux? I guess only time will tell if I can resist. :...(

      Splynterhayde, I know you've already rec'd answers but my TG Pyrol wears a Leekeworld 6-6.5" but it's a bit tight on him. Looking back I should've probably gotten him a 6-7". :XD:
       
      #178 PeppermintPocky, Apr 9, 2011
    19. Grr..how do I buy the dollshe saint on sale and this one with only 600 dollars? Put one on my credit card I guess. :lol:

      Maybe I should wait and see if the next doll is a male super gem like these little ones? :O SOMEONE HELP. ;_;
       
      #179 XxBrittox, Apr 9, 2011
    20. midnitester will you be able to get some photos of the cuties in the soom shop like you have done before? :3 Cause I'd love to see some unphotoshoped/unbiased pics :)
