Soom Idealian 72cm Discussion Part IV

[Akai Okami]

Yikes. D: I would never stand him where he could fall on a hard surface. In his case, he'd stand in front of my cedar chest so he can lean on it or fall onto carpet. My other stander is ON the cedar chest, but he's got his back to the wall. I will certainly be careful and keep in mind that he's very heavy!! I've yet to have a doll fall and break anything..I'd like that to never happen. >A<

Also, I am loving the photos that have been posted. Such beautiful sexy dark hair~ (I love long dark hair on boys..haha) Sorasoul, that pose looks very natural! It gives me hope as to what I might achieve with my boy! And Adalwolf, that's amazing!! :O And good to know! He's going to have to deal with a small herd of children over here and I might put him in charge of wrangling them. x3

[Carmen]

Mine fell onto the carpet =) It depends on the distance he's from the floor. I was just eating one day and just watched him fall down as in slow mo (and then "crack!"). Do not recommend that to anyone. Do def invest on a doll stand; I've got one from Dollmore at $20 and works pretty good. Otherwise I sit him down.

[Ardyse]

I really wouldn't recommend that at all . These guys are heavy and when accidents happen...

Oh my Gosh!!!! That's just... tragic! How did you deal with it?

BTW, what do you think about a hybrid Ide head+ Loongsoul 73,5 body? (http://www.loongsouldoll.com/Product_Show.asp?id=191) I think it could work out just fine!

[hi_phin]

If I keep looking at Gluino pictures, I'm quite sure that eventually I will succumb!
I'm trying hard to holding out for York. I'll kick myself if I order Gluino and then York shows up next month.

Totally understandable-- it's kind of what I'm doing! I have a Gluino faceplate. And he's so gorgeous. But I really really really want to see a CW York.

Herp. >_< I've been meaning to ask and keep getting sidetracked looking at all the gorgeous IDs that I keep forgetting! Are there any jointed hands that will work with the IDs scalewise and colorwise?

[SoraSoul]

I don't think that there are hands that would match theirs in size. However my DT boy who is bigger than my ID has a pair of Island Doll 70cm hands and they are a perfect fit. I'm sure they would work scalewise but and would fit alright but you would need to do both rather than one, like I did with Laz, or it would look funny.

Here you can see the size of the hand compared to Laz's default.

ID's aren't that big. I'm pretty sure Soom's jointed hands would fit them.

Soom's Mecha Angel hands could work too: http://dollsoom.com/eng/shop/item.php?it_id=1249032988
Wish I had ordered a pair when I ordered my Antares, but I didn't realize they were even there till after the order window was closed again. Come to think of it, I don't even know if the hands were available again at that point either...

I'm sure you could ask on one of Soom's message boards about what jointed hands they have that would work with Idealians.

[Carmen]

Soom jointed hands don't work on IDs. I've tried and the hand just goes inside the arm.

[Leadora]

Thank you all for your response! I kind of figured the Super Gem hands would be too small. I've never had any jointed hands, but they do intrigue me.

[Dirili]

yeesh, wow I'm surprised there's that much of a difference in the wrist size.
Are the hands I linked from the Mecha Angel page the regular size Soom jointed hands?
You'd think Mecha Angels should need bigger hands, being 80cm and all...but even their feet are small at 8.3cm long compared to the 10.2 cm that a 70cm Iplehouse EID has.

MA's are tall, but skinny.

EID's have big feet.

ID's are pretty big. 70+cm of beefy goodness compared to Super Gems 65cm much slender body.

[Carmen]

Yah Mecha Angel and Super Gem jointed hands are indeed, the same ones =) MAs are very skinny so that doesn't surprise me.

I love jointed hands, I wish all my had them XD I'm yet to find a company that makes jointed hands for big guys...

I'm so set on getting York. I left message in the Q&A board on Friday to ask whether they will release York any time soon. Let's see what they will answer.

[SoraSoul]

I can guarantee that the island doll ones would fit but I just don't know what they would look like. I'll try one of them on when I get home and let you know. They do have many colors of resin so that might work too.

[Leadora]

I think Dollzone makes jointed hands and I thought their normal hands were ENORMOUS in person. Probably too much so! I'll keep the options open for now. :3

[Akai Okami]

When I get my Gluino, I can try Dollzone 70cm jointed hands on him and see how they work. Speaking of that...how long is the wait for Idealians? Same as Soom's other lines? I know I have him on layaway, but I plan to pay off early.

[hi_phin]

So here's the answer I got from Victoria regarding York re-release:

Good day !

We do have some plans regarding York, so I would advise you to think twice before placing an order for Gluino.

Best regards,

Victoria, SOOM

I'm so glad but at the same time feeling quite sad because this means I might not be able to order Gluino
From the answer, I guess York will come up soon, right?

Thank you for asking about York, hi_phin. I am so glad that I waited and didn't order Gluino. I like York so much better.

[safir]

Oh my, I'm very anxious on when they'll release York... >.<
The original release was NS/tan, so I'm betting that the Special Order would be WS since that's how it seems to work.. And it would mean that he'd be perfect for a character of mine, it'd be great to be able to give him a doll form, finally ;__;

I have other doll plans atm too, but I guess I'll have to start putting aside emergency savings for York's release as well, this is the one doll that I really don't want to miss or I'll regret it >.<

[Carmen]

I'm very curious in seeing a WS York o.o For some reason it is hard for me imagining him in any other color than tan. Oh, a blonde... Or redhead York!
