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's Monthly doll for August (Leo): IO Wind Walker DISCUSSION

    1. I love Soom so much!! :D I figured after they saw the amount of interest, they would cave. XD;; But as a company, they really do listen to requests, it's fantastic :aheartbea

      ...guess I gotta save up a few more pennies though, for that default, non-stripe faceup.. XD

    2. Wow, that's white skin in the promo pics?? Doesn't look like it at all really. They must have blushed him but silly.

      I'm glad to hear that he'll be available without the stripe. Soom seems very willing to bend to the wants of their customer base. It's nice to see them respond so quickly to this and to request for more pics of Bix. I suppose in the end, not putting the red stripe on is less work for them :)

      Too bad about the spear, but those can certainly be made! I have some old african short throwing spears that would be probably be great but they're sharp!

    4. Hehe.. I do love the idea of the red stripe, but it totally doesn't work for the character I have in mind... XD

      (Makes me wish it was a wee bit easier to do temporary makeup on the dolls, though... XD)

    5. Must admit, I'm quite disappointed at the lack of lion paws/tail/golden tan. Nonetheless he is an amazing doll, especially that outfit! And I love his sculpt - always wanted a Rex, and this is as close as it gets. No money though, and I can't see a place for this boy in my clan, although I would love him to bits if I could ever get him. *le sigh* Money, please fall from the sky?

    6. Damn...I can't afford him. I don't even have a character for him, I would just put him in a glass case and have him sit there and be pretty.

    7. I just read Kelly's response to me as well, and am happy they can accomodate people who do not wish for the red stripes on the first IO faceup ^____^
       
      #327 Amanohara, Aug 14, 2008
    8. so now we can order w/o the stripes on his face? XD;;;

      since i heard the answer was no earlier, i ordered him blank and paid my first installment. ^^;

      well, im too lazy to go (and too poor atm!) and ask kelly if i can add the faceup to my order...oh well. I have someone in mind for a faceup commission anyways, so I guess I wont be missing out much from the default faceup...maybe? XD;

    9. He's a gorgeous doll.... but what really struck me was his wig. I adore this boy's wig. :D Darn, pity I don't have the money...

      Also, he is a bit... white for a tribal themed doll. Probably would have looked much better with a more tan look. And it's too bad they didn't put more animal parts on him, compared to the others. I like the lion head well enough, but it's not really a part of him, just a decoration. Some sort of... ware-lion... like if he had different leg parts to give him cat feet and some paws for his hands would have looked really cool. >.>

      I may adore his wig, but he doesn't wow me as much as some of the others... which is a pity, since he's my birthday month doll.

    10. Soom is awesome! :fangirl: She replied to me as well with the same response.

      I liked the strip, its pretty, but doesn't work with my charrie either as a few others have said.

      Good luck, and to everyone as well!

      I need to juggle some money around and see if I can snag two on layaway (just needs one full set) That comes to $1800 and my wallet and sanity goes screaming out the window at that number. XD; But I'm still set on Khamsin in normal skin and his evil twin (who gave up his eye for dark powerah) in white skin, lol. I have my Beryl body lying around here too and I might consider giving that body to the evil twinlet.

    11. man, I have cave and keep the lion head, maybe i'll do a hybird of tiger/lion >.> or something. but yes, i love how soom listen to my desire, and hate how low it sink my bank.
       
      #331 Mephistol, Aug 15, 2008
    12. LOL Soom is awesome that way. Or not, depending on how you look at it.

      I can't even afford this guy on layaway atm. It's so sad. He's just so gorgeous!
       
      #332 chizzie_shark, Aug 15, 2008
    13. I would be in trouble if this boy was tan. As he isn't, I'm just lusting after his wig. One of many I see ;). I have money for a wig though... *scurries off to find a split on the marketplace*
       
      #333 nissi_nirvani, Aug 15, 2008
    14. I think he would look ridiculous with paws and a tail, although I love the succubus/incubus hooves on Beryl and Sard :lol:

      About putting his head on a Gem body; I have a Spinel, and I think he has a large head, even for the Super Gem body. I guess a SG head on a Gem body would look very bobble-headed.

      I'm still tempted to get IO without the outfit, but I think Lazule would be more what I am looking for, and... well, I am disappointed that he does not have fangs, pointy ears and sharp claws :roll: Rawr!
       
      #334 Ravnsvart, Aug 15, 2008
    15. QFT. I can't really imagine a way to make paws on him without them looking cartoony and silly. BUT the fangs and/or claws or long nails would have looked cool.
       
      #335 FallenEverdark, Aug 15, 2008
    16. I missed my chance at Sard and I adore this guy. I wish he was tan with fangs and longer nails then I would pass out, oh, and if the feet looked more werewolfish if you guys know what I mean ;)
       
      #336 SystemRose, Aug 15, 2008
    17. Yeah. I know that white skin looks pale, interesting and other-worldly, but I thought the grey skin one Onyx had was awesome. I'd like to see more colours going on and it seems a bit weird to have an African themed doll in white boy colours!
       
      #337 Jescissa, Aug 15, 2008
    18. I think the doll is very unique and well detailed but it just isnt my style.
       
      #338 MidnightDreamer, Aug 15, 2008
    19. XD Don't you mean werelionish? I placed my order this morning. And damnit, I should have placed it earlier in the night cause the wig I really wanted to go with casual clothes for him sold out before my order went through! I had to go back and delete it from my order!
       
      #339 NecrochildK, Aug 16, 2008
    20. i to plan on adding fangs and talon to my boy , and the lion would turn into a tiglion>.>
