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

Aug 12, 2008

    1. Could be SG. There's a gem called Iolite as well.
       
    2. I think it's super gem though. The chest partition isn't a soft curve, it's more like a stretched out U. Just what I think.

      I hope he's NS. I got an NS SG body here, I can split the head and plonk it on the body.
       
    3. Accept Iolite is a kind of stone, so gem name, as opposite to Io which is the name of a moon. Of course, this could all be argued that they're both derived from the mythological name Io...pretty sure that doesn't have any significance, though. ;-)
       
    4. :XD: Hmmmm, there is isn't there....
      ...and looking closely at his chest/arms, I'd say that's the Super Gem body.:o
       
    5. I think it's an SG -- the torso joint that connects to the stomach area is shaped like an SG. In MA, the shape is more pointy, there's a point right between the pectorals that graduates downward. In SG, it's more like a rounded square. I see a rounded square in Io.


      *edit: Hah! Hydra and I think alike. I swear that post wasn't there when I started writing.
       
    6. LOL
      We all think alike! It was that line at the seperation in the torso that got me looking closely at the chest/arms and comparing them.
      He's a Super Gem, I'd bet on it.
       
    7. we'll know soon enough, I'll know soon also of how much my bank might suffer >.>
       
    8. i cannot wait to see more pictures of him.
      he looks gorgeous!
       
    9. The body is impressive! I'm always awed at the detail in the chest and arms. They really do a great job at making their dolls; they don't seem to cut any corners. :D
       

    10. I know, me too, I am sooo Soomed :|

      Ugh.
       
    11. oh my god I love that face mold!!!
       
    12. LOL...I like to think the lovely people at Soom get a chuckle out of the way we all try so hard to disect the preview pics. :)
      I'm looking at my Sard's chest and...yeah...you're right...it DOES look more like a SG torso, doesn't it?
       
    13. Soom has not even put my Sard together yet and I am already getting CC ready for the next round.

      I must be insane.....
       
    14. You and me both. At the moment, I want him bad because of that face of his!!
       
    15. Deleted and reposted on the new thread!
       
    16. Add me to that group, lol. He looks badass, but there is a cute soft edge to his face that tells me he is a sensitive man. ^^

      Got to say tho I really love the whole look, even down to the color of his hair and the braids, but if he's wearing a loin clothe I'm doomed! :blush
       
    17. Ack. I was happy with the pattern! I wanted a male Virgo!

      I thought sure Leo would be a tan or golden female. That would have posed no threat since I don't have any tan characters. I like his face a lot. I think I could resist if he's a Super Gem, but if he's Mecha I'm in a lot of trouble. :o 'Io' is the volcanic moon of Jupiter. The name's celestial origin might mean that he's a Mecha.

      Mythologically, it is the name of a maiden loved by Zeus. He's no maiden!

      ETA: I've been photo comparing- it looks like he's a Super Gem. His proportions and body sculpt are almost certainly Super Gem. He looks like Rex in the face, though.
       
    18. heeheee we are all in the same boat
       
    19. OH GOD! He's gonna be mine! I still regret not getting the Merman. I'm not going to make that mistake again. He's a ginger like me to boot! Can't beat it.

      Rrrraaaaoooww.... ;)

      I'm debating on whether or not I want his faceup... Hmmmm that's the tough part. I want everything else I see. And jointed hands. Two pair of those. Mmmmmm... Tall hunka resin love.
       
    20. I just can't wait to see more pics of him! Conflicting emotions here over where my summer job money is going to go to!!!

      Gah! I WANT TO SEE THE REST OF HIM. And if he's a Mecha...oh boy...
