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 Zenith Discussion ~ Part II

Nov 12, 2014

    1. Jio is my favourite too - I already have currently two layaways going on, so can't justify getting another doll for some time, but I'm glad someone is getting him.

      BTW I see Souldoll is getting on that trend on slender male hands and fingers - really like how they are looking, definitely better suited for their younger-looking head sculpts.
       
    2. @SolInvictus : I agree. I remember when they made the first version of the Zenith body and the hands were so huge in comparison to their faces. I very much like the proportions of their recent creations.

      Although, I know for those who are ordering during their launch event, you get 2 types of new hands... but I'm having trouble seeing the differences?! They both look like they can interlace together.... Not sure how they differ, but I suppose I'll know 6 months from now. :XD:
       
    3. I really like Bin's outfit. :D
      Unfortunately, there are no dress measurements on the Souldoll website. (I asked for it by email today.)
      Because I would love to have this outfit for one of my dolls (= 71 cm). However, the Zenith dolls are only 65.5 cm tall ... :sweat:eusa_pray
       
    4. @dragoneye1300 if you scroll down towards the bottom on Bin or Jio's page, the measurements are listed for the zenith boy body.

      NEW Zenith boy body INFO

    5. If it helps, just in my experience the Souldoll clothing is very tailored and fitted to their dolls. So unless the doll is nearly identical in measurements, it might be a risk. Especially the pants lol. I think you would have better luck for a Tera Zenith outfit to fit your 71cm.

    6. @Suindo
      Thank you very much for listing the doll body measurements! :kitty2

      @Dybbuk
      That really helps me to know that the Souldoll clothing is very tailored to their own dolls. :kitty2
      Maybe I'll be lucky after all. Because my desired outfit set does not include any pants. ;)
      Only these things:
      I'm just a little insecure because of these two small differences. :sweat
      My SD doll: Waist: 22 cm (Zenith boy doll has 20.5 cm.) / Hip: 28 cm (Zenith boy doll has 27 cm.)
      After I have compared the outfit measurements, I think that the rest should work without problems. :kitty2

      At the moment Souldoll is not offfering any other SD clothing that I like this much. And unfortunately this outfit is only available in this size. :blush
       
    7. @dragoneye1300 Worst case scenario, if you purchase and find it won't work, every Souldoll outfit I've ever purchased I've been able to sell 2nd hand quickly and the price I paid. Also, for one doll I just got a different pair of pants from another set and combined it with the other fitting pieces.

      I agree though, their outfits are lovely. And you're still in the winter discount period to get 7% off the price!

    8. Oh yeah, I wish I was into buying outfits in the past as I am now because there are so many made by Souldoll I missed that I would love to find now... I'm pretty sure they are made in quite a limited quantity because they don't show often in 2nd hand market too...

      I agree with @Dybbuk that they are tailored close to fit. I only just managed to stuff my soom supergem (2012 body) in one of souldoll dresses and I could barely close it even though their measurements are very similar. As long as there are no slim pants, there is hope, and I'm sure you would be able to find a buyer if it didn't fit!

    9. Wowza, I just paid off my Souldoll Jio (from layaway) and Souldoll sent me the pricing estimates to ship assembled to the states:

      EMS: $251.60
      UPS: $169.70
      DHL: $155.36

      I have never paid that much for shipping a doll! x__x; The EMS shipping is almost half of what I paid for the doll! Luckily they offered to ship him disassembled to cut down the cost so I'm paying ~$78 for UPS, but wow. I couldn't believe it! Now to wait the long wait for my Jio to come home to me ToT

    10. @Dybbuk & @SolInvictus
      Thank you for your encouragement! :kitty2
      Souldoll has already replied to my request about the clothing measurements.
      Unfortunately, I only received the Zenith boy measurements.:sweat
      I'm not quite sure yet, but I might try my luck. If necessary, I can sell the outfit again.
      And as you said, if the chances are good to sell it second hand quickly, so much the better. :kitty2



      Edit:
      After sleeping over it for a few nights, I came to the conclusion that I should not order the outfit. It's just way too expensive. Especially when I'm not 100% sure that one of my dolls will fit.

    11. OMG!!! The shipping cost is downright terrifying! Sometimes it makes me think that EMS in Korea is doing something illegal by raising the shipping cost so high and it is trying to use covid as an excuse! For example, if I want to ship a 3 kg box to Korea using EMS from Greece, I will have to pay 59 euros! That's around 70$ to 75$. So what is happening in the Korean EMS? I can ship to them paying a reasonable fee but when they ship to me I have to sell a kidney?

    12. That is downright terrifying. I am kinda hoping my order from December will get delayed for a bit and for shipping prices to go down again until then. But realistically I know it isn't happening.

      On another note they are aiming straight for my heart (and wallet) with Judith. I gotta stay strong and resist her. And she'll be available in tan skin too :love. But the shipping quotes are definitely helping me to be responsible.
       
    13. @darkangelxix : I'm extremely shocked too...and the doll companies are just stuck trying to accomodate their customers. I was so happy Souldoll let me do disassembled packaging.

      @laquaza : Uwaaaaa yes! The Judith version in the red is freaking GORGEOUS. I love how Souldoll makes every fullset so complimentary of the doll. <3
       
    14. How is their waiting time guys?
       
    15. From what I've seen, buying direct and no layaway, it looks like roughly four months?
       
    16. Thats not horrible. Its quite alright.
       
    17. Yeah I was expecting much longer and was pleasantly surprised when I looked through the waiting room. :)
       
    18. 4 months?! That's pretty dang good for Souldoll. Some time ago I think it was more like 6 months... *_* Looks like my Jio won't deliver till end of April or early May. T_T Waiting is so hard.
       
    19. Does anyone have a Federer they can share? I’d love to see some owner photos! Kicking myself for missing his head in the sales event they recently had
