A 52cm IDealian51?????? LOL I just read the release schedule.... apparently they want to kill us all!!
I saw something about it earlier on the body page but didn't give it much thought. Still, I wonder what it would look like. Not my size though. 65 to 68 cm would have suited me better. EDIT: Might go well with a Zaoll though.
Yes, what would it go with - female-wise, I mean. It's an odd size. I suppose we'll find out in due course.
And a new Soom attack . Well luckily 52cm isn't quite my size, I'm just looking for one MSD size boy in that range. Now I'm quite happy now that Soom by accident cancelled my Pel . Guess between all these 52cm Idealians I will find a better one. But great that Soom is releasing more and more Idealians. I'm still looking for a Marius de Romanus, next to my Lestat and Louis. And a handsome tan one to be my War God. But still no pics of York and I have to go to bed- unfortunately. I have university holidays at the moment, butI'm looking after my parents dog, which needs to go for a morning walk in less than 5 hours time and I better get some sleep. See you later... and hopefully he is up for a look when I get up ^^.
lol I love the descriptions they give: weird guy, wealth guy, mysterious guy bad guy etc.... I'm all for new sizes/dolls, it's what keeps the hobby interesting!! edit: well automatically it makes me figure he could go with a mature MSD, like Leda. Anyone starting a discussion thread? Still no sign of York, but now I'm wondering if I should wait for the new IDs :-)
I think if it's anything like the 72cm muscular guys it should be a lot easier to handle at that size. And presumably a little less expensive.
The descriptions really are a hoot! I couldn't help but giggle a little. Oh, Soom. I love you even though you make me crazy broke. "[FONT=맑은 고딕]It provokes a downfall and more and more middle-class family have to abandon their steam houses and become duckweed people." [/FONT] This is it right here, it's even right there on the page! I'm going to be living in the duckweed before the year's over at this rate. [FONT=맑은 고딕] [/FONT]
it's quite ood as size, isn't a SD with standard SD size, shorter the 65 SG line, i see hard make some use of this line.... also i'm not too fond with dolls ,SD maily too much muscular....so i guess i'm safe....
I'm not fond with the size and the sculpt of the body,that is supposed to be muscolar. it's not a standard SD,still taller than a MSD,muscular like a mature taller boy..too far for me.I don't see any interest in such really weird size.
Yeah I saw that, that's why I was wondering. What size is the current Idealian? 72cm? If so, would a 51cm be like SoulDoll's Veto guys?
Also would be much problems to dress a 52cm muscular boy..considering that soom isn't that prolifc with clothes...
A size that few companies have...and what about the clothes? Frankly i find even useless to me to debating or sharing POV since i'm not really interested,too weird the short size with a matching mature/muscular sculpt.
It's possible I suppose that there's an untapped middle range market for those who want smaller but more mature sculpts. Perhaps those who come in here looking at the bigger dolls don't represent that section of the market.
I agree, it's definitely not a size I'm interested in either, but I love Soom's dolls no matter the size, and I love to look at them and see what they do, even if I don't buy them.
Admittedly, I did spend a lot of time looking for smaller, more mature sculpts, since they're a little easier to handle (and child-like dolls have never been my thing, sooo). I see what everyone's saying about the clothes, though. At least I can make my own, but I'd have to see the dolls first. I admit I'm intrigued by what they might think of as "Funny guy" ...
It will be interesting to see what they come up with - it may not be as muscular due to its height. But for those of us with regular sizes it's a difficult in-between sort of doll really.
It might go well with the likes of the Dollmore Fashion doll line - they're 16 inches and off topic here. He'd be quite a bit bigger though, but the fashion dolls are quite nice. I like Diana. I wouldn't have her as a 'fashion doll' though.
I think you're imagining a really chunky short doll though!! lol Which obviously is not at all appealing...but I have faith in Soom!! When they first announced the IDealians I was sooo excited and honestly a lot of people weren't too keen on him, right away he was compared with IH EID. Perhaps that's why Soom altogether shut ID down and worked on the body again? I'm not a BIG doll person, as much as I'm drawn to them I haven't been able to plunk down that much on a doll that I wasn't sure I would even feel like picking up. THIS new ID might be to perfect size for me, but either way I'm very excited to see it...I'm happy Soom keeps moving forward, as we've seen with other companies they get left behind and then vanish. Soom wants to stay and part of that means keeping up with the competition! Now if only they would make a female ID!!!!!!
I think I'm safe from the 51cm sized guys. Though York on the other hand..... Still nothing posted on York's page....
*dies laughing* Don't worry, I think there's gonna be a whole bunch of us in the duckweed... But at least we'll all have really nice dolls. *SNERK* EDIT: As for 52cm ID's - I'm intrigued. We shall see...
Thanks for the measurements, Mirren. His arm is pretty long, about 4.5cm longer than the model EID, and I think the height difference is in the longer torso, but overall I see how the clothes would work. But that breadth of shoulder compared to his chest makes me wonder if the ID clothes would work at all on Bishonen House. Must investigate.... OK, haven't read the release news yet, but if that 52cm is anything like SoulDoll's Vito line, holy moly! Y'all don't know what you're missing. Anyone who's curious about clothes that fit, what girl dolls look like with that size o' man hunk, etc, head over to the SD Vito thread. EDIT: Read the descriptions. OK, there has to be more than one giant raft, or did these people actually like Waterworld? Nor am I sure about wanting a character called "Weird Guy." LOL. I give them points for creativity though. And stick to my assertion that hot resin can come in small packages.
Yeah I laughed to no end. As it was mentioned there will be a whole lot of duckweed people this year. I'm rather intrigued by the 52cm guy, if they look anything like the ID's but in a smaller package and cheaper I may be doomed/soomed.
That's the other sweet part about the smaller mature dolls. Have no idea how Soom will price theirs, but SoulDoll charges US$420 for a basic nude Vito doll vs. US$610 for the Zenith (70cm) male. Ironically, it's the main reason I don't have one yet. I always feel like I can afford to get one (especially since SD has secondary retailers with nice layaways) while the $$$ limited editions pop up to snatch my money away.
Considering these will be limited, maybe you'll actually get one. And we don't have to long to wait, just next month. But perhaps we should make a news/discussion thread for them? Edit: Nevermind, looks like the Mods did it for us. ^_^
Souldoll has their Vito's, and now small Idealians? ... Kinda weird, but I still can't wait to see them! I don't think I'll be getting any though...
I really can't wait to see what they do with these little guys. I hope they are rather leaner and younger (teenage-ish) looking than the Vitos. I really love the gargoyle Vitos but am resistant to getting a new size that doesn't work with the rest of my collection. Younger looking guys along the lines of, say, Photon and Gluino, would be a very different story! I will certainly be joining you all in the duckweed! This storyline obviously has a steampunk vibe. It'll be interesting to see what Soom does with it with their Idealians of both sizes. They've done a bit with steampunk wings in the Rosette dolls and they're beautiful.
I'm really curious to see how these guys will turn out. I usually go for bigger dolls, so I'm hoping I'll be safe from them.... but who knows, Soom may just be able to lure me in.
What a bombshell! If you had asked me to predict where this line was going, I sure wouldn't have guessed 52cm! I'm real intrigued by the themes, like Weird Guy, Wealthy Guy, etc., and I'm wondering if these are just loose categories, or if each one is actually going to be a specific doll. With 4 dolls on layaway, I'm already a duckweed person, sob D:
The storyline seems to be Waterworld + Final Fantasy 7. I want a weird guy and a cute guy and a funny guy!
Yep looks like their out to kill me ... ARGH. I just let go of wanting a Souldoll Gargoyle thingy now this shows up ^^ ah well.. might just stick with the bigger guys though. But well even sticking with the bigger guys is like madness. Did you see when the next big one is due after York? in May...?! every third month would have been ok. too. oh whatever.. I am curious how the first of those 51cm guys will look like.
My favorite so far is "Casanova guy" and I really want to see what Soom's idea of "Perfect guy" is hahah[FONT=돋움] [/FONT]
I know right. I was like, "wait, what, haven't they all been perfect? " I wanna see Cute Guy >w< I wonder if they're listed in order of appearance, so Weird Guy will be first? xD
It's really interesting that they plan on releasing a new line so quickly, when I think back to the original release and re-release of ID....there was so much preparation and Soom wanted us to take an oath remember? I wonder if he's completely finished or if they still have some tweaking to do that might cause a slight delay, and of course I'm dying to see a teaser already!! I was tempted by souldolls Vito line, especially their Gargoyle man but his face was too rough (?) for me. As for clothes I hope Soom has thought well ahead and will at least offer a bi-weekly outfit for his release, and shoes of course. I take back what I said about part of the fun of a new doll size is figuring out what it can wear...no idea what I was thinking
If he's a 52cm buff guy, then as far as I know, there is no equivalent on the market... so there's no clothing on the market. I really hope Soom will support these guys with clothes, I would hate to see them kill the line because of something like that. :c I'm surprised at the timing as well, but when you consider Hyperon came out in December... I guess that explains what they've been up to all these months. I wonder if they're going to carry on with the fingerprints and brains and all that. ... I wonder if his junk will be all detaily, too... (my mind so went there)
I hope these guys ARE ripped. I'd be more excited if they were just a few cm taller. 55cm-56cm would be ideal! But 52cm is still exciting. There are NO short muscular male bodies on the market. The closest is the Lost Angel Thunder body, and even that is still 60cm. If these guys can use EID/MegaGem/Mecha Angel sized heads, I will be thrilled. I really hope Soom rolls with that. The market needs a stocky guy option - there are tons of tall males with defined muscles, but no shorter 1/3 scale ones.
An interesting choice of size, but as someone who doesn't really want a 70cm doll yet likes the Idealian concept this is pretty exciting!
whats with this odd size lately. there's no clothes to buy for them! except souldoll but im pretty sure they will be looooooooot different!
This absolutely amazing!!! Fianlly the companies are starting to make different sizes, I was tired always of the same measurements for everyone... also, can you envision how would these guys look besides a Slim MSD? I think it's an amazing idea for those who own Mini Fees, Unoas or mature minis in general; these guys will be the idealians of the Mini world, haha. My only complaint is that there are no more 1/3 bodies in the 48/53 range, but as Kiyakotari, I am always sick of not being able to enresinate short characters. My only complaint is... .. One Idealian PER MONTH???? O_o' Oh c'mon. And Monthly dolls too? I am wondering how does Soom plan to keep this pace of limited releases. I think they are burning the chicken of the golden eggs too fast....
About a year ago I wrote to Soom Idelaian asking them if they could start a line of MSD-sized guys. My main motivation for doing this was I fell in love with Branon's gorgeous and realistic face and would have loved him in the smaller size. I made the observation that very few doll companies are producing mature and good-looking MSD boys - most look very young and childish. Even my favourite doll company Iplehouse, who have produced a ripped and mature MSD guy body have so far only put out quite young and soft looking faces to go with it. I wouldn't be surprised if a savvy company like Soom saw this gap in the doll market too and has decided to produce shorter guys with mature, handsome faces. It will be fascinating to see if this is the case.
my... i wish they would sell the bodies seperatly, I have an MSD head that just looks too big for the regular MSD format... I think 52 cm and BUFF would be spot on for him. Gawd... what are the odds they will realease the body in White though. Unless they did a Vampire. :s:: well see what the first oe looks like in April... still about a month of waiting to do.
Oh man, I was just about to buy a Souldoll Vito too. I do not need a smaller army, only need one guy for my girl.
AAUUUGGGHHHH! This is too true! It's such a slippery slope; once I buy an extra man (or girl) the next thing I know they are pining away for a partner (looking speculatively around my rapidly diminishing available space).
Soom is a very evil company, they will take all your money and then release something even more prettier than their last creation..........beware...beware!
This is exciting news. I've had my tan Rouse from Souldoll on order since late Oct. they keep telling me they're having problems. I think they forgot the order or lost him. I wanted a partner for my tan man, so Soom here I come. if he's a small Idealean, we already have a good idea of his body type. but, those descriptions are strange. who wants "weird guy?" at 51cm, they may be much better as a partner for small girls. Souldoll should eventually bring out girls for their 52cm men. ??? going into the Duckweed....searching for a perfect guy....or....
What an exciting concept! If they do go with the smaller yet mature looking sculpts, they shall own my wallet forever xD I immediately pulled out my measuring tape, and I'm thinking this size would look perfect with my MSD girl. I really want to see "weird guy"
Kiya: Short muscular guys are on the market: SoulDoll Vito. I think they were the first in the mature 52cm arena, and they must be doing well. Success gets copied. I hope the new ID51 body is close to the Vito in terms of clothes. They made the IDs work with the Iple EID clothes. No point in reinventing the wheel, especially if they don't make a lot of clothes themselves. It is frustrating with clothes options so limited, but I figure at some point 70cm dolls were rare and clothes hard to find, but as they became mainstream, the accessories followed suit.
