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.

Souldoll Souloid discussion part 1

Sep 15, 2011

    1. My oy finally made it. As luck would have it, his wig also arrived today and apparently I had a somewhat steady hand, so I gave him a face-up, temporary eyes and his wig.

      I might cut off the long strands, but haven't decided on it yet.

      The marbeling is really a lot. I wonder what happened? The Iraki's I have seen definitly had little to no marbling. In my case I don't mind too much, but for those who aren't expecting it, it certainly can be a large surprise.
      In my case, I'm totally happy to finally call him my own <3

      I'm just not sure yet wether or not I'm looking forward to blushing his body XD
       
    2. Soooo...
      Opposed to him looking all brand new and shiney, I've finally succeeded giving him his body blushing, making him look a bit more natural and 'used'.

      Not entirely done with stilling him at this point, but the majority is done, I think.
      I do want to make him some sort of clothes. Maybe a sort of jacket and short pants or tool-belt or something like it. Don't want to cover up too much of his gorgeous body.
      He also still needs some accessoirs :3 I have plans for that ;9
       
    3. I've very glad to see more Souloids, after such a long time!

      I got an Iraki when they first came out. I just love all these dolls and was sort of sad that I couldn't manage to get any others. I'm not sure about these--I LOVE them, for sure, and I adore the outfits!!! But I'm not sure how well they would go with my Iraki... I may succumb to temptation, though! However, my car's in the shop with a big estimate... so that pretty much kills any doll-buying right now.

      But the best news is that there are more Souloids!!! Yay!!! (of course I hope for more in the future!)

      ======
      Oh, here's some old photo spam of my Iraki--

    4. i love the possibility of getting grey skin with the silver, but not sure as well.. I have both Ier and Walter in the tan/black some day I'll get around to getting them some faceups at least
       
    5. Ahhh love souloids! I wanted one but this moment is impossible for me, I have lot of other payments, but some day! I'm very happy to see more of those beautiful dolls
       
    6. I really like these two new Souloids. I'm going to have to see if I can swing a layaway on the girl. I think she is fabulous. I don't know if I like the gold or silver one better.
       
    7. ^I am thinking exatly the same thing. I am pretty sure it is not possible for me to resist her enough not to order her even though she would be an only MSD in my dolly group. She is too gorgeous to miss out! I also like Phiel (and his lips) very much. It is lovely to see they still make new Souloids.

      Before I'm ready to make an order, I'd like to ask you about the poseability of the mechanical parts of the girl body. Is she cooperative when posed? Are you satisfied about her posing capabilities? Especially I'm interested in her torso joint. Does it gap easily when bent? I appreciate any kind of thoughts about this subject! ^^
       
    8. I've been out of the loop with BJDs for a while and now I'm back. Why!? Why!? Why did they have to make a doll that would be steampunkish!? Lavi or Phiel would work perfect for my Steampunk persona (other expensive hobby). I'm so tempeted to buy one but I don't know who to choose! I like Lavi but the mech body is meh needs more gears and such for my taste. But Phiel I like the body but not so much a fan of the face.

      Soul Doll I've already ordered 2 dolls from you and the wait is killing me! But now you have to bring out this!? My wallet is going to start crying.:...(
       
    9. You can always go for a hybrid! My Souloid boy is a Hunoi/Iraki hybrid. Here're all my Souloids in one pic!

    10. OMG! All of them are so beauitful! Thank you for sharing!
      Of course, I'm more drawn to Lavi. I guess I could just mod the body with some gears and bits sticking out. It's not like I don't have kind of stuff laying around the house and if I don't I have friends in the steampunk community that would gladly help. Now just to find a place that will do layaway the longest.
       
    11. LOL. Here I thought I would order Lavi instead I ordered Phiel Mach edition.:D

      After seriously thinking about swaping heads and the possibilty of being a hybrid I did so. I placed him on layaway and I can't wait! Hopefully I'll have him paid off within 4 months! I can't wait to start sewing him clothes!:drool
       
    12. Ahh, congratulations!! I have about $400 for Lavi so far....I'm hoping to be able to pay her off in full so I don't have to wait so long to get her via layaway (that, and I have two layaway already...)
       
    13. I've just put Soul Doll Souloid Phiel in gold on layaway! I am excited, he will be my first BJD!! It was a difficult decision. I almost ended up with Joelle.D but I decided he can wait, but the limited one cannot haha :love
       
    14. Congratz on your first BJD! You're right about the limiteds though if you want one get it while you can. All the basics can wait unless they're phasing them out and bring in new stock.
       
    15. Yes, congratulations!! How exciting for you. Limiteds are always much harder to find after the fact so absolutely, prioritize them. <3
       
    16. I've looked around the SoulDoll site and I can't seem to find where the head size of these guys is located so I can determine wig size. I've seen a wig I think would be perfect for my vision of the character, but without a size to go on, I'm not going to guess on the size and buy a wig that may/may not fit. Especially with the dismal Canadian dollar and the way that jacks the price on everything for me *sigh*.

      All that being said, what is the wig size for these guys?
       
    17. I can't help you with sizing, but I noticed that the Soul Doll team is quick to respond to questions - I suggest asking on the q&a at the bottom of the listing for the doll you're interested in :) good luck!
       
    18. They seem to be their own size...like, they aren't Vito or Kid, but something in between. My guess would be 6-7, but that's all it is, a guess. If you get an answer from SoulDoll do share.
       
    19. I was going to get a Phiel but found my real love Digit on the MP so I bought him instead. I am so excited.
