Immortality of Soul (IOS) Waiting Room v.2!

Jan 26, 2013

    1. May I join too. I ordered an Infernale head in white with his wig. I would like to get the whole doll, but with that short layaway and as an unexpected buy there is no chance to get him full- I hopefully get a body for him later. Did anyone here know if you can buy a body from IOS seperately?
       
    2. Yesterday I ordered an Infernale head in white skin, with face up. For me, he is the second face of Lacrimosa :3
       
    3. Ereskigal, usually they don't offer their bodies seperately. You'd have to join a split when someone buys a full doll from them next, or find one from another company that works :/. At least, that's how their 70cms went. I hope they offer the option for body buy periods at some point in time.
       
    4. I see, that's a pity, Maybe if we all keep asking (if some more a looking for a body) they will offer a body buy period. With some other companies it worked well ;).
      I thought about a split too, now I have time to save some money and when they are offering a new boy I can buy that one and sell the head or open a split. I'm new to IOS, so I don't know how fast they usually release the new dolls, but as Anarmonia and Lacrimosa were released in 2012 I guess there will be 2 in 2013 as well? It's such a shame that they only offer a 1 months layaway. :(
       
    5. Yeah, that would worry me a bit as well. And I always feel a little uncomfortable sending dolls out for faceups, especially after one of my dolls was damaged that way before. But when you have no artistic talent, like me, you just do what you must! Especially when small operations like IOS don't offer any faceups.

      The iPad sounds like a fun idea. ^^ Sasha has a cat plushie that will be from Ilya, and this weekend I bought some interesting shells to use to make a necklace for Ilya. I have no idea what I'll do for clothes. Most of mine are for larger dolls, and I kind of like to keep my wardrobes separate. Like a, b, and c belong to this doll and x, y, z belong to this one. I feel bad making them share. XP Is that nuts?

      I didn't expect Infernale to be released so soon! I guess that means time is passing by pretty fast. Yay! Except that cute little fox boy will be released before you know it, and I was really kind of wanting him. I don't think I'll really plan for that until I see more company pictures though. He was just looking so cute from the one in-progress photo.
       
    6. I ordered my Infernale in normal skin,his name is Slavik.

       

    7. I beg IOS to offer face up on new and old release dolls and crossing my finger they listen. I have no talent on painting. Especially Lacrimosa my next wish list boy..still saving money for him :)
       
    8. I'm waiting for the delivery of my CHAOS head (Make-up) since the order period (about 12/14).
      Hope to have chance to buy an original new white color 70 cm male body someday.
       
    9. I think I'd like separate sets of cothing for my dolls too. Except maybe basics like a pair of jeans. I managed to finish a pair of chinos for Taz but I am a little worried they may be a bit too small. We'll see. If they are too small they might just fit the little fox boy you are thinking about ;). He is so cute! I am looking forward to seeing more teasers. I also like the little smirky one.

      Last week I got the eyes I ordered for my S. I am really happy with them. The colours look even better in reality than in the picture.

    10. He is gorgeous! I wanted him but aside from his pricetag, I was worried about finding clothes that would fit him and not be too costly. But I'm sure he's worth the effort. ^^ Good luck!

      Wow! Those are beautiful. Clothes are sometimes hard to tell. Even if you have measurements you never know how sitting is going to go, or how well the back side will fit. lol Hopefully that'll work out though!

      Getting so antsy!
       
    11. My CHAOS head is in home now. :love

      [​IMG]

      I'm serious thinking in to buy Infernale too.
       
    12. Wow ur chaos really nice like the yellow eye shadow
       
    13. That's a very handsome Chaos. : 3 I am still shell-shocked that I was able to order my Infernale head, in white skin. He will serve as second face to my DZ Edward, Philippe.
       
    14. Just ordered Infernale's head last night! I am so happy to have him as my first IOS
      He's in NS with face-up and the default wig~ *dances*
       
    15. Ooo nice to see so many other people that ordered Infernale! I ordered him in WS with face up. Well
      the head at least. Their layaway options are pretty limited, but at least they offer it at all ^^.

      Who here is hoping that they'll offer his face with a 'closed mouth' option! lol
      That would be awesome! Though I'd still love the original =3 I couldn't pass
      him up! I ordered a wig and eyes for him. So far I can't decide on a name, but
      the personality is beginning to form. They said his head size is 9 inch and he
      is compatible with 14mm/16mm eyes ^^
       
    16. Has anybody gotten their S or M shipping notice yet? They said they'd start shipping on the first and it's the 4th in Korea now and I haven't heard anything yet. Grr, getting impatient!
       
    17. I ordered M and haven't gotten a notice either...but I did email them about something else and was told that they would start shipping next week.
       
    18. Sweet! Thanks for the info. I was wondering what was going on.
       
    19. Sure thing...I know I kept checking the website. So hopefully next week we'll both be seeing notices soon! Can't wait to see what you do with your S.


      And wow to everyone who ordered Infernale. Congrats! He is impressive. I can't wait to see user pics - there is so much potential.
       
    20. I'm still waiting for a shipping notice for my Keiji. Apparently, IOS wanted to improve a leg joint.
      I'm waiting for a blank WS Infernale head too. He will be one of my four horsemen of the Apocalypse, Scarlet the Pestilence. I'm so excited about getting him x3

      vampirevich : congrats for your Chaos ^^ his face-up is beautiful *o*
       
    21. I hope you guys that are waiting get some closure soon. Hopefully
      it won't be long. I'm sure that once Infernale starts shipping I'll personally
      be pretty wired, lol.
       
    22. Last month I placed order for Infernale white in the last minute XD can't wait to c him~
       
    23. Still haven't gotten a shipping notice on my two S dolls, Sasha and Ilya. Argh! But Sasha's wig just arrived today. I'd almost forgotten to order it! lol

      Now I've got their eyes and wigs waiting for them. I just have no idea what they're going to wear!
       
    24. I haven't gotten anything either...:|
       
    25. Just got my shipping notice for my M! :fangirl: So excited...but I'm supposed to be out of town when he arrives.:...(

      Fin Raziel - I hope you get your notice also!
       
    26. My S is shipping too! Yay:dance
      I just found out when I checked my account on the IOS site.
       
    27. Yeah for shipping notices! It seems we're a small group that went after the smaller guys. I can't wait to see these boys when they come in.
       
    28. Me neither - I am so excited!
      My partner in crime, Fin Raziel, and me have been waiting a long time for our boys.
      S is my first love and although there are a few other sculpts that I adore, I wanted him to be my first doll.

       
    29. Congrats on the shipping you guys! Hopefully more S pictures get put up on here <3.
       
    30. No shipping notice for me yet, but my order status has been changed to "before shipping," so should be soon! Mine may be taking longer because I ordered two Ss.

      I'm so freaking excited, Batch! I was afraid your doll would be a longer wait because of the reopened order period, but we should be getting them within the same week as each other! Whee!
       
    31. Congrats on your shipping notices and congrats on your first doll Batchculture :)
      How long have you guys been waiting though? Hopefully not too long right?
       
    32. Thank you!

      No worries - IOS is not to blame for the long wait. The time it took from ordering to shipping is totally within the time frame IOS gave us initially. And that although they squeezed Keiji into their sales plan.
      We waited a long time because we fell in love with a sculpt that wasn't available at the time. There was a lot of website stalking and pleading for a re-release involved. All in all it was about a year for me.
       
    33. Hopefully they will be on their way soon. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

      I also thought I might have to wait a little longer. Didn't really expect to hear anything before the end of April. They ship your order after mine, although you ordered before I did. Maybe that means they'll send Sasha and Ilya together.
      This is so exciting!

       
    34. That would be amazing! Especially since getting to the post office is a huge hassle. I can basically only get there on Saturdays, and I'd be so frustrated if I had to make two special trips mid-week! lol

      I am so happy all our pleading and pestering paid off. ^^ I can't wait to see how they pose and look up close!
       
    35. Yippee! :fangirl:My boy arrived today. I love M (Timi). I'm so happy with him and poses like a dream. :aheartbea

      Speedy arrivals to everyone.
       
    36. Excellent news! I'm so glad you're happy with him. My S is already in New Zealand, so he should arrive home soon.

       
    37. Dang. I still don't have a shipping notice. lol I'm asking them what's up. What the heck....

      I'm glad to hear they're good posers! I was a little concerned. You never know! I really like M. I almost got one but I really love S and wasn't sure when they'd release them again so I had to grab them while I could!

      Hope Taz makes it home very soon, Batch! I'm sure you'll have him by the weekend. I hope you love him. ^^ I'm so happy and excited for you, getting your first doll!
       
    38. Yeh Batchculture...you're almost in the home run. And yep, I'm super happy.

      Fin Raziel, boo on the delay! I do wonder if they have to do some special packing magic because you have 2.

      And as for the posing (I know I'm happy :)), maybe I'll add some comments in the discussion thread. I will be totally curious what both of you think when you get yours.

      In any case - I hope you both love your boys when you get them...you have been waiting far longer than me!
       
    39. Hi,
      I ordered A IOS Infernale, I hope he doent take too long to come home. How long did it take for all of boys to come home?
       
    40. I've ordered two dolls at the same time from another place before, and they just sort of treated it like two different orders and send them separately. I assumed IOS would do the same but I'm still not sure. I contacted them yesterday and they've told me their shipping team made a mistake on my order. They just said to wait a while. But what does that mean?! Wait until tomorrow? Wait a week? Wait a month?! lol Man, I'm not too happy with their customer service right now. :\ That was the vaguest possible answer they could have given me. 'We'll ship them...some day....maybe...' XD
       
    41. Oh no - that's bad news! I wonder what happened. I just hope it will get sorted and the twins will be home soon.

      Tassilo (my S) arrived this morning. He's amazing! I couldn't be happier :aheartbea
       
    42. How long did it take to get s home for order to delivery?
       
    43. It usually takes about a week, depending on the delivery system they use. EMS is generally really fast.
       
    44. from the day I ordered to the day I had him at home it was just under three months (2mth, 3.5wks)
       
    45. It is good to know that Infenale was so well received :D
      I always look forward to seeing what others do with their molds! Oh goodness, how tempting he'd be if they decide to make him with a closed mouth as well <3
      Here is hoping that a 70cm body will be a good fit for him. *sweats* What kind of wig did you order for him AnnoDomini? I don't have a fully fleshed out plan for my boy ^^;
       
    46. Oooh a 70cm body sounds good and much easier to obtain :D
      Don't feel bad Violet, I don't have a fully fleshed out plan for him either. ><
      I was mostly hoping that once i received him, the little ideas I had in mind
      for him would fit him XD He's so awesome. You know, I might ask IOS about
      more versions of the sculpt after a small time. I don't want to pester them, but
      maybe if they know that there's so much interest in it they'll at least consider.

      As far as the wig, I ordered a straight black wig from Luts for him. I liked the
      original wig he came with, but $40 seemed steep for me.@.@ What about you
      Violetpoof? Are you going to try a few different eyes and wigs on him yourself?
       
    47. Haha, I definitely believe I'll be trying out quite a few wigs and eyes. I am quite relieved to have gotten the default wig in case nothing fits XD
      I'm more worried about clothing, I have no idea how to dress them. *has no fashion sense*
       
    48. Aww, I'm not sure if I have much fashion sense either ^^;;
      Ooo I'd love to see the wig when it arrives with him =3

      If other customers bought the 80cm body then I'd imagine that
      buying clothing for him would be very difficult. But if the 70cm
      body works well then you'll have a ton of options. I'd love something
      more simple and professional looking for him than what I'd typically chose
      for my boys. Dress shirts, slacks, suits, would all look stunning on him.
      But honestly I think he'd look good in anything XD The 80cm body does
      look nice though. If the head was $230 without face up, then I guess
      that'd make the body $500???
       
    49. Sasha & Ilya processed through customs in New York today! I might have them tomorrow. Booyah, booyah, booyah! :cheer
       
    50. Yay for Sasha & Ilya's arrival!!!
      I am so happy they finally made it to the US :dance
       
    51. Congrats on finally getting your twins!
       
    52. Here is my first love, Tassilo :aheartbea

      He's still a little pale, but he has something to wear now.

    53. Thanks, mdonline!

      I think you did a great job sewing for him, batch. Most dolls seem to have an issue when sitting, like you mentioned in my box-opening thread, so you didn't do a bad job at all! I have several dolls that are grateful you can't see behind them when they sit. XD And my wife's Iple House boy's pants just split wide open when he tries to sit. lol

      Ah, he looks beautiful and cozy! Poor Sasha and Ilya have nowhere to sit right now so they're cuddled on top of their box. But I'll have to take them apart soon so I can get their faceups and blushing done. T_T Gosh, I'm going to miss them already.
       
    54. Hello people.
      I ordered my first item from IoS and wanted to know does it usually take 3 months for items to ship?

      Order: One head with makeup and a wig.
      Date of order: 2013-03-09
      Status: Payment confirmed

      Also, one more question. I've sent two emails to IoS and haven't received any responses, are they/she usually good about responding to emails?

      Cheers! :)
       
    55. It's been 3 months for people lately, it seems.

      You should post on their forum Q&A instead of emailing them. They get back to you pretty fast that way.
       
    56. Sweet, thanks for the response.
      :)
       
    57. Yay! Good to see all of these wonderful looking S's hanging around, lol! XD
      Congrats on your arrivals. I hope you're enjoying your first doll Batchculture!!
       
    58. Thank you! I love him even more than I thought I would :D
