Soom Faery Legend discussion part 2

[Rivon]

Arrgh... the more I look at her the more I'm thinking she would be perfect for shelling a character I'd originally planned to try and get in SD size. Her magneta skin is so perfect!

[damhsa]

Sorry to post so many newbie questions...I tried to place my layaway order (cw, 2 bodies) and pay by credit card. The message said "running" but there's been no further message, like an email with my purchase or an update to the order. Does it take a day or so for the cc to go through when you're in the US? TIA

I'll be paying until Feb but am very excited to get my first Soom doll, and she'll come with a friend at the same time. Yay!

[Ruse]

What color ARE her eyes? They look like a grey with a gold ring around the pupil?

I'm excited about this girl now!

[Sky_Stars]

Aenigma has stolen my heart but the size makes me hesitate. Anyone have a comparison pic with one of these size dolls with either other dolls or a human?

[Britt7399]

This is a lousy pic...but it shows a Soom SG girl, Soom Remaining Story Girl (msd), Faery Haidi, and then a pipos Charlotte. Hope that helps a bit

[Sky_Stars]

Britt7399 thank you!!!! oh wow, she is tiny... Do you find it hard to pose her with such small joints?

[Britt7399]

You are welcome . I actually just sold her . I think I prefer larger dolls...but I actually found it easier to pose her then my bigger dolls. I had a bit of trouble getting her to sit up straight, but she could do just about anything else. And the detail is stunning in person. Both Rose and now the new girl tempted me! Lol!!! I just don't do much with my smaller dolls, so im resisting.

[Sky_Stars]

Cool!!! I think you may have convinced me!! I will have to wait to see what Luts does for their winter event, but more than likely I will get her! yay!

[Call Me Stephanie]

Yeah, her size isn't for everyone... but I had a Planet Doll Mini (barbie size), To You Sara (barbie size), and a Rose fairy briefly (barbie size)... and I adore the size. I would much rather have tinies than anything bigger than a YoSd. Everyone's tastes are different though. ^_^

[Ruse]

So delicate and purrdy!
I'm assuming all the fairys have the same basic torso joints? So Aenigma will be jointed same as this? >http://dollsoom.com/eng/bbs/board.php?bo_table=gemgallery&wr_id=100&page=2
Would also explain why they don't want to sit up straight.

Hm, are their wings interchangeable? I bet Aenigma would look kickin with Rose's wings! Or Auber's ^.~

[ModernWizard]

Ruse -- yes, Aenigma will have a body like that, unfortunately, with some difficulty sitting.

I just get a little creative with my girls (and now boy, I actually find Auber sits beautifully!), and haven't been as frustrated as I occasionally am with the SG girl body (and I have Alex on layaway, so the frustration can't be so bad, LOL!). Honestly, they are beautifully done, the first impression many people get after playing with the larger dolls is fragility, but they are really wonderful dolls to own.

Lol! I find it exactly the same! What you can't tell in my photo, is that the SG is using the door for support because she would fall without it. The msd is also a bit shaky. But Charlotte and Haidi stand solidly on their own (all the little dolls I have owned were able to). None of my dolls have been restrung (it makes me nervous), so I'm sure my larger two could do better if their strings were tightened.

[guls207]

I've been lurking here for too long! I already have an Idrial at home and an Aren on layaway (massive order thanks to Cuba being released XD). When I first saw Aenigma I was SO SURE I was safe...and then I saw her in CW. Well now I'm waiting for 3 Soom dolls to come home. Goodness when Soom gets you they have no mercy do they? 0___0 My Aenigma is going to be the human type since Claire (Idrial) seems to love wearing human type clothes and she needs a friend...or two...I just know I'll be SOOMED again when they release another boy! ;__;

[lunaria1]

it seems that when soom digs its nails into your heart, there's no way to be safe and you're soomed for ever!!!
with aenigma, I'll be waiting for 3 faeries

tonight I was trying to imagine how to paint her, which eyes to choose, and the wig, and how to make her outfit.......

[guls207]

Lol! I usually stick to MSDs mostly and I was really nervous about this size. I thought I might not be comfortable with it, but the exact opposite happened! Now I'm REALLY hoping for a boy faery! I'm so sad I missed out on the last 2. So far I've only been fussing over Claire's wardrobe and I didn't even start thinking about Aren or Aenigma. 0_0 I'm also SO picky about eyes and wigs that I often change them around for months before picking the right combination...it's a little frustrating when the doll uses unusual sizes for wigs and eyes, but I know I have a couple of months to get them. I was wondering, are the soom minigems (the non faery types like Aren and Garam) OT on this thread?

[lunaria1]

dunno... but think they might be, since they're not in the faery legend line :-3

wigs are 3/4"... pukipuki size. I've tried some fatiao wigs, but they seem to be little to me.
formydoll wigs are pure perfection instead *_____*
plus, which is sooooo good for shoes and so on, minigems can wear blythe shoes perfectly...

I love this size. I can switch from bigger girls to smaller with no difficult. just LOVE them!!!

Ooo, thats good to know!
Does anyone else have tips on dressing/accessorizing the minigem faeries?

[heidipay]

I adore getting them Enchanted Eyes, some of the sets come in 8mm, which is just awesome, and the vibrant color pops even in tiny form! I've also gotten wigs from Volks that fit to a T, the Dollfie Plus line is awesome!

Sweet, Thanks!!

I got to meet a maple-leaf-fairy today and try on wigs with her, that was fun!
