Soom Super Gem Discussion (Basic, Limited & Special Order) - Part 12

Ah I see now)))
It's really fantastic outfit and your girl looks so good in it! Hope you'll show more photos soon

 

Grey Dia coming soon...

 

oh, no!

 

more pics of Emmanuelle in Galley: /threads/shell-bite-you-and-look-good-doing-it.811341/

 

@Riku LIN - October 8th. I still can't find that photo, but I did see the date on Soom's schedule on their site.
I have a Volks doll to pay for soon, but don't know which month. Everyone uses credit cards. not me. If I don't have the money, I don't buy the doll.
This could get tricky. I've always wanted a Dia, but never fell for one hard enough. This one might be it!

 

petiteballerine, yeah, I saw. That pict you can find in Twitter

 

I looked on Twitter, but didn't see it. anyway, I have your post.

 

petiteballerine, look into @soom_thegem

 

@Riku LIN I think thats one of the prettiest Dia's Ive seen, and there were many releases as Sard and Dia, not to mention the many variations of that sculpt that social media is showing

I love his sad expression and the gold on his eyes, who ever has been waiting for a rerelease Im sure will be very happy, this version is beautiful from what I can see!

Those dreaming eyes are done really nicely too

 

I agree with you, I noted gold glitter on his eyes too and I think it looks interesting

 

The gold in his outfit adds to his glamorous look. can't wait to see all of him!
It's odd that I have Sard from years ago but I never think of him as being Dia.
Wonder if this man has pointy ears or other fantasy parts?

 

Hello, just wanted to share a picture of my Scarlett (Soom Breccia Soul Stealer). Don't let his angelic face fool you, he is a demon after all.

 

@KuroHitsuji - wonderful boy! loving his outfit & jewelry.

 

Thank you!

 

He is the perfect 18th century man! I love it! The wig, the hat, the outfit, and the face up! Oh you make me want to make one..thank you for sharing his photo!

 

This is so beautiful.
So inspiring, makes me want to make another outfit in this style.

 

Oh god Gray Dia is up! And the skull makeup on the WS is really cool as well.

 

Thank you, dear!

Thanks!

 

Im sure you have noticed this already, but if anyone missed it, theres a questionnaire event and it looks like they will be making the most popular choice, you can vote for your favorite Super Gem here

Form | MikeCRM

Headsculpt choices are Euclase, Sard, Sphaler and Obsidius.

Surprised that Sard is a choice since they are releasing Dia as a boy already. I definitely would be interested if they released Sard in Light Violet though...... (its a skin choice in the questionnaire!)

Here are really good comparison shots by WickedGentleman to show the differences in Sard and Dia
Dia x Human Sard
Dia x Human Sard
Dia x Human Sard

I wish Saiph was a choice XD I suggested they release Mecha Saiph as an Idealian woman so maybe that is something for the future if they consider it.

The new Dia is really beautiful, I think probably the most beautiful and I love the skull paint, and that you can actually buy it as an option! Oh its really painful to pass this one up Love everything about him, and even the priest outfit is very cool!!!!

 

I voted for Obsidius. Please! Vote for him!! He looks very angelic and a hunk! I actually love the theme of archangels, Angels and fallen angels. I hope he wins! Sard and Dia is too similar. Don't really like their lips shape. Dia is nice but my wallet is safe as he is not my favourite sculpt.
Wish they offer opened eyes Euclase. Saw one on instagram and I really love it!

 

@Tangmalangaloo I voted for him too, he was my favorite of the ones offered

I love Dia and Sard, to me they are what I imagine when I think of Soom's most iconic face, but I would like to see some of the more of the unknown faces to come back, and refreshed in Soom's beautiful new styling, hopefully in an outfit by Soyo too!

 

I love Obsidius, so I voted for him in tawny with hooves. He and my ancient Sard can clomp around the house while Euclase sits watching.
A modern Obsidius in a tux or suit would be cool. Man about town. He'd be so sexy on the new body.

I wonder if Soom's artists would mind not putting that dark dot at the corners of the mouth on my Dia? Has anyone ever asked for a change in the face painting?

 

So far Sard is winning or ahead of the other contestants. I don't understand why they don't give us to choose the mix and match for the free choice like in the past event. If Sard wins, then I'm safe. I wish they offer bronze skin. Looks like the blue resin is winning too. I want normal resin colour.

I think the results are misleading. The results are based on people's favourites or grails or wish list... but not necessarily for them to buy them. Ie blue is nice... but how many will actually buy a blue resin doll?

 

I am so excited they are finally releasing my grail Dia! I am a bit torn between choosing basic head or romantic though, and I can't afford both. I was wondering if any here could share owner photos of either basic or romantic to help me decide?

 

These are both basic. I hope you get one! They are amazing and have such a range of looks.

I don't particularly want any male Super Gems anymore, so I'm very safe. But if they come out with an Ignim.... then I'd be sorely tempted.

It's harder to be interested in boy dolls when I still don't have the pattern making skill to completely make my own patterns, and need mom's help, and she balks at making anything that isn't modern, Western clothing for boy dolls. Anything robelike gets a "why are you making him a dress?"

 

Has anyone put ball-jointed hands on a new SG with the magnet hands? I have two pairs of older BG hands on older bodies. Just making sure I don't end up needing a grey joint. I'm fussing around as if I never bought a doll before!

 

I succumbed to the allure of Dia at long last. I've been admiring that sculpt for over a decade now, so the grey was my undoing. ^^;

 

Congratulations! @rianne

 

Have to say I'm in love with that skull faceup on Dia - it looks great! Shame I have absolutely no use for it in my group.
If SOOM ever made a version of Dia with a closed mouth, I'd probably have to have it, since that's the only thing that's prevented me from buying one in the past, but I'm not holding my breath for that.

As for the poll, I'd definitely buy a blue resin doll. But not Sard, so I guess my money is safe.

 

Thank you @SteamWitch ! Now to figure out my plans for him haha. I'm thinking I'll do full grunge glamour, but we shall see.

 

While I'm looking at the new Dia, Osiris reminds me that I already have a grey doll with gold eyelids.
I think he needs pants and a new faceup. His bikini panties hardly cover anything! But.....legs.....



.

 

I would love to see Sard in a violet or purple color resin, horns, hooves and all! Of course Sard in general, but Soom really needs to bring back some of their Basic dolls again, they were so unique.

 

I dream of the (unlikely) day SOOM would do a custom doll system so you could mix and match all their sculpts with any of the fantasy parts. It would be so cool if they did that then maybe monthly picked a fantasy color to add in the lot, like purple or green or brick red.

...a girl can dream, haha. I'd go for a lavender Beryl any day!

 

@LiselT - I hear that! Soom is quite wonderful when they do have their rare FCS or whatever it's called. I got my Breccia Soulstealer/Sweet Witch girl with all the parts for both dolls on the soulstealer body. we shoppers kept asking for colors and items, and horns, and stuff. and Soom obliged. (never order right away during those things. the choices will multiply.) and faceups were offered.

I finally pushed the button on Grey Dia with romantic gold-lidded eyes. + some grey ball-jointed hands. I have parts from other dolls (horns, tails, wings) that he might like to wear from time to time. I imagine him in a tux. Sleek, no frills wardrobe. But, we'll see. layway, so he'll take a while.

.

 

@petiteballerine I got my bronze Vesuvia (who is in desperate need of a better face-up by someone other than me, lol) in their first female FCS. They are quite a lovely thing when they come around, though a bit limiting if they don’t have the combo you’re hoping for. But you can still get some pretty neat combinations out of them that you otherwise couldn’t. I think I’m daydreaming of a mix of like Iplehouse’s custom doll system, haha. So many of the SOOM sculpts work well as boys or girls, I would just love to see what people would do with all those options! I think my wallet would be screaming and hiding from me if that were the case.

Congrats on your new boy to come. He’ll be quite a handsome one, that face-up is rather striking. I need to be spending more time with the small SOOM horde I already own. Maybe I can get my gray Beryl out for some spooky Halloween photos next weekend. I haven’t done that at all with her yet.

 

Jamie (Chalco Soulmate) and the gang here at the beach are dressing up for All Hallow's Eve. Just 'cuz.

 

So I JUST saw that poll Soom is doing and I must say I would absolutely DIE if they re-released Euclase in snow blue or light violet resin. I actually got a white skin Euclase with the intention of dying him blue at some point but haven't gotten around to it yet. Too bad Euclase is only in second place right now...

 

Compared to their usual Free Choice Events, this new format seems incredibly lazy and sad.
Instead of being one step closer to a highly sought-after rainbow FCE with tons of choices there will only be two dolls released this time, one of them (a blue Sard?) looks pretty niche to me.
But I guess we can't complain since it certainly is what the majority voted for...

I just hope they'll bring back FCEs in the future and won't settle for this "easy" format in the long run.

 

It's especially frustrating because what's being voted on isn't necessarily a blue Sard. There might be lots of people voting for a Sard head on another doll's body or another doll's head on a Sard body, and for a variety of other dolls in blue resin, that don't actually want a blue Sard head on a Sard body.

 

So. I voted for a purple Sard. But, I will settle for a blue.

I have already ordered a blue alpaca wig from Russia for him. His name will be Cerulean. I am excited and cannot wait to order him.

I do agree with you, Layn. A Blue Sard might not be the thing that people were after... at all.

I think that Soom should offer the choices as an FCS, so that people can really order the combination that they had their heart set on. I think that "blue" was the color only because I cannot think of Soom offering a big blue boy in the past. Otherwise, I personally do not find anything so exciting about "snow blue".

 

Ah man, I'm so bummed I don't get a blue Euclase on an Obsidius body (what I voted for). I really hope Soom will consider doing a full Full Choice system again...

@Cat ^..^ In regards to big boys being released in blue skin, there was Quartz, but other than that I can't think of any and U think Soom haven't offered it in a Full Choice style or a rerelease of an older sculpt.

 

KittyFields, I had forgotten about Quartz! He was lovely.

Yes, now see, they could just offer this whole contest as an FCS and then you could happily order your blue Euclase. Would it really kill them to do that? They tried to do a fun thing here for us, but really it is a big tease.

 

Oh, this would be so nice if it were the fcs & not spin the bottle. this is like seeing what you can't have.
I could go for an Obsidius in tawny.

 

I voted for a purple Sard too, in blue skintone I can't imagine him

 

I didn't vote for Sard at all, but I'm pretty excited to see a blue Sard! I thought this entire thing was weird. When I opened it up the first time to vote, I expected this big list of options. Which there was none. It didn't occur to me that this was a sort of replacement for the FCE.... maybe. But it seems more like a team colab Frankenstein doll rather than a get what you want thing.

I think it's cool tbh. It does seem a little lazy, but in a way it's neat to have it all randomly put together based on votes. Maybe I'm the only one who feels that way. But then again I don't really have a doll on my wishlist I've been waiting for from Soom (other than more true fantasy LG. Not just ears or wings on a human body :/)

 

I want a purple Sard too, that is the color I picked, wonder how he will look?

 

I have ordered the Blue Sard with horns and hooves.

I "did" have trouble placing the order and checking out. I see that only a human Sard is currently available for purchase. The fantasy options must be down for maintenance and repair. I also had a terrible time getting my credit card to work on the new site. It kept coming back with "card confirmed" and then "failure" to process. I have no idea what that was all about. There is nothing wrong with the card and it is the same card with the same expiration date that I have used with Soom in the past.

Is anyone else ordering a Sard? The color choice is Blue or Grey.

 

Hello. Nice to meet everyone! I'm excited to join here now, I got my first super gem doll this Nov 1st! Meet Aranid. He's a grey skin Jack with fantasy part . He have no face up yet .

New Super gem male up on the site.
Puss n Boots

 

Well, if I didn't already own Puss-in-Boots I'd definitely be tempted. Still think he's a lovely sculpt.

 

If anyone's curious to see a close up of the Oynxes with default face-ups:

 

Taran got an early Christmas present, high heel boots to fit his high heel feet (finally! he has had them 2 years, I'm a bad dolly mom.) He is happy he is taller. Kise is happy for him too.

Dear SG owners, have you ever seen hybrid of female body on fantasy legs of Chrom? I know that Soom has girls on fantasy legs, but I like Chrom legs sculpt more ..

 

Woo-hoo, resently Yahar'gul', my sweet oriental Dia, got his body back!

 

I wanna tell him my fairytales every night))

 

Real combo for me - gray skintone and fantasy parts

 

@edelveizzz he would listen, I promise

 

I have so much regret.

Soom is releasing a new Super Gem girl Thursday and will be re-releasing Isha at the end of Feb. I'm stoked.

 

new SG girl?

Ah, they put up her pic. I'm safe.
