Souldoll Discussion

I have two zenith girls, one has 14/6mm eyes which I think are just right and one has 14/7mm which aren't bad either.

 

My Karin has 14/5s, I had her in 14/6s, but since her eyes are half closed, the smaller iris works better.

 

That's all super helpful to me too one last question, what resin matches the new white well? I really enjoy my head's resin shade

 

Hello! I'm waiting for my Caleb head to arrive soon and now I'm facing the big dilemma: which companies match with Souldoll normal?

 

Great choice - Caleb looks great!
Souldoll Normal skin is on the pink side, so if you see a company offering both yellow and pink normal, getting the pink one is safer bet.

If you think about getting a body from Luts, their normal is too yellow, but the peach (obitsu white) is pretty close (I would say 90%+ match)

About specific body I can't advise because I don't have any Souldoll zenith guys, so can't compare the size. Or.. you can wait and see first what new Zenith body Souldoll will come up first (this is what I do with my stash of Zenith girl heads haha)

 

Does anyone have any information on when the new Zenith bodies will be released?

I also heard somewhere that they’re taking a really long time to fulfill current orders. Is it worth it to order a kid body from them right now?

 

@BirdieBurrito : There haven't been any updates from Souldoll on their timeline for the new Zenith or Vito bodies.

Right now I'll hit a year waiting for my Zenith Nolan this month and I doubt I'll get shipment until maybe spring of next year. They are super behind right now and I'm not sure what their action plan is to get orders out... if it were me, I'd wait until I saw consistent delivery of product before ordering from them right now. Unless you're OK waiting a year+.

 

Oh wow. Do we know why their production is taking so long right now?

 

They seem to be pretty random in their production, my SD head took a few months, whereas most souldoll kid orders with the purple resin plus zenith orders are taking forever so uh basically no.

 

@BirdieBurrito : This information is per Souldoll and their replies to customer inquiries. They told us they started to have delays after their faceup artist became ill. This was around December of last year when they announced the pending discontinuation of the Zenith/Vito dolls and also closed all makeup orders. Then when we got into spring of 2024 many of us started to become worried because communication on their Q&A board became very sparse. My Souldoll Vito Aspyn (who I ordered in July of 2023) finally arrived to me in July of 2024 around ~1 year of waiting. I purchased my Nolan in December of 2023 and asked them what the delays in production were. They finally responded after many weeks and said their main manager of Souldoll had complications after having Covid. They reassured us that they would be getting back to full production around this time (December 2024). A few dolls have made their way home, but as I said before they're very behind with almost a year's worth of orders still outstanding.

I'm hoping they can get back on their feet and begin production again - but knowing what I know now I haven't purchased anything else from them until I get my last order fulfilled and they seem to be on a regular schedule.

 

Thank you for the update, that's good to know. I guess I won't be ordering from them until they've caught up on their orders then. It's a shame they had so many things happen that essentially halted production. Hopefully they're right on their prediction and are able to resume full production by this month. I adore their bodies and have so many hybrid plans.

 

@BirdieBurrito : I totally feel you!! I am hoping they get themselves into a rhythm again because I love their dolls. Hopefully it's starting to turn around, but it's definitely been a rollercoaster for them and their customers!

 

Ohh! Good to see other souldoll lovers! I managed to snag the last run of Chiron Human version in Grey before they discontinued him, then moved shortly after he arrived. Poor boy’s been in a box unpainted and unclothed since that day as i fell out of the hobby.

I wish most of the zenith line hadn’t gotten the axe.

 

@MermaidMizuko : I hope you get a chance to take out your Chiron and revitalize him~ He's a gorgeous mold. There was a gray skin Chiron on Ebay not too long ago that I was eyeballing but I hesitated and he was snatched up Which probably was for the best~

Sadly, Souldoll often goes through these periods of complete obliteration of their current bodies and sculpts - and then creates something new. Which, I do love they are always changing things up, but I wish they'd leave their old sales pages up for reference and posterity.

I am trying to find some display space for my Tera Zeniths (so they don't live in their boxes) -- these guys are so gorgeous together, but overwhelmingly huge

 

OMG @Dybbuk , mind blown. Glass of water, please.

I've eyed these guys for as long as they were released, but personally never went bigger than my Zenith Roul. Who I love dearly. In case he sees this.

 

@Mandagore : hehehe I know!!! They're so distracting sometimes!!!!

They are really huge guys... I definitely think they are my limit for the size of doll I'll own though~ Zenith is definitely my preferred doll height. Would love to see your Roul I'm sure he is just as hunky! Hehe

 

I have two, 72cm boys (not SD) and I don't want to go any bigger than that. They weren't intentional either as I never intended to go bigger than 70cm (I have several of them). But sometimes the Dolly Gods gift you with things that you can't refuse, right?

 

@Dybbuk

It's not just the height but the weight for me, ugh...
You caught me out here So, only two quick & dirty (and crappy) phone pics of Rafnar for now! It's hard to stand up to so much inresinated Tera - masculinity^^

@Iron_Dog : hehehe yes you can't refuse!!! And I was the same way. I didn't really want to exceed 70cm dolls, but the Tera Zenith sculpts were just too handsome to resist. Unfortunately, by the time I really wanted one they were all sold out so I had to find all of mine 2nd hand (except my Daydream) - so you're right, you can't refuse the Dolly Gods when the opportunity arises!

@Mandagore : SO HANDSOME! His sculpt is very reminiscent of my Henry (especially the mouth) ~ I think he was created by the same sculptor. What a great guy! Thank you for sharing him.

 

@Dybbuk I was fortunate enough that none of the Tera Zenith boys screamed about being any of my characters, so dodged a big, heavy resin bullet there.

On the weight, oh my aching arms, yes! One of my 72cm boys is a Sugarable Genie head on an AngellsDoll massive body (and boy is it massive in weight). The other is a Miracle Doll 108cm Snake Demon head on an Spirit Doll Phoenix body. He's a bit lighter than his partner but the claws on his raptor feet should be registered as a deadly weapon. He's accidentally scratched me pretty good with them a time or two (mostly while re-stringing).

I've also had the pleasure of hefting one of the SD Chiron centaurs (a friend has 2 of them) and holy moley, those boys are heavy AF. Like you could potentially put your back out lifting one of them.
