Soom Teenie Gem and Monthly Doll Discussion Part 14

I just checked the Soom site and my Honey Bunny is on shipping. So she will be home soon. I'm so excited for my bunny girl to come home

 

You moonbunny is beautiful, Glowbee! ^-^

For me, oops! This Taco of mine was supposed to move to the pastel punk style, but she just looks sooo cute in all white/pink :P I can just never get her into the lavender/black I was thinking of...

 

Awww, @Shara she's so adorable!!

And I've finally gotten a new photo of some of my ponies! Admittedly I was snapping some photos of my new Luts TDF, but the Sooms snuck in! XD

 

I haven't really been around here much at all... and I've also been neglecting my dolls. But I still think of you all, and hope to find the time to get back into the hobby sometime soon.

Lishka and Nimue say hello

 

My Honey and Arie.

 

Thought I'd join the first page spam with two of my favourite girls.

 

Awww!

Here are my two:

 

Such adorable spam!!

Tytus and Leira want to join in!

 

So many adorable Teenies! Especially your Necy, duskblue, and your Picro, karleecakes! I seem to have a minty phase right now I might need to get some minty clothes for my own dolls...

There are still so many Teenies I want to get, and now Yrie might have been added to the list as well. I had the pleasure of painting one this spring and she was just so adorable, yet spunky! But I don't know if Yrie has cut in line before my other favourite sculpts (Skoll and Bygg). But I'd really like to see Soom release new SOs of Teenies ^-^

 

I got my Honey Bunny from the post office yesterday. I love her so much. She is really adorable in person. I was just wondering if anyone got the baby pink Bunny?I would love to see pics of her.

 

@duskblue, your dollies are too cute!

Is that one on the left a Feny/Necy?

 

Soom is now organising a Female SG FCE, but I swear that a few days ago, they had misinformation on the notice and it said that a Little Gem Elves FCE was coming soon. This made me think, the Elves-line dolls haven't been part of any FCE yet, have they? And if they are planning a LG Elves FCE, then a TG Elves FCE would also be a possibility, perhaps even this year?

I would be so thrilled to get a tan Lilid/Rru (lion head with the fangs), maybe with Sabil body so it would be nearly human :3 Although Han/Asronn have also proven to be extremely cute IRL, so that might also be an option.

Btw, there aren't that many Han/Asronns out there, are there? I know of a few dolls in Finland, but they haven't been popping up in the market place.

This one is my friend's little fox and we went out for photos together last week. Both of them are super cute and a lof of people come and took photos of them

 

Goocool, I love little witches and yours is adorable.

Soom has a new petit gem called Eva a tiny fairy
the SOOM emporium

 

I saw those cuties! I was trying to find how big they are exactly, but my browser doesn't seem like Soom's website at the moment. :P I'm guessing they are 16cm?

 

They are 13cm. The measurements are on Ondin's listing.

 

Ohhhh, even tinier than I thought! XD I really wish I had money for one!

 

Hi! Yes, the blue one is a feny/necy

 

I want to know something I should have known a decade ago...

Please, how do I know which certificate of Soom belongs to each doll? I have found my Taco Free Choice (that I bought together with another Free Choice) and I just don't know what CoA belongs to him. I always thought it had the number of the order on it but now I see there is no register on the website.

I sometimes make a mess because I receive many dolls and some parts of the dolls are on another box.

Anyone know how I can find it out without asking Soom? I am having a big big problem with them nowadays and I am trying to avoid their Q&A.

TIA...

 

There is a section on the Soom webpage that says Authorized Serial Number. Near the bottom on the left hand side. You can enter your certificate number there and it will tell you the doll type and buyer. Hope this helps!

 

karleecakes is right. You do need to enter the leading zeroes. I have a number of certificates that are not in the database as they apparently used to forget to enter them in the database. I hope they are better now! I always check the certificate and print it and keep it with the certificate they sent. Just in case the database isn't available in the future!

 

What's also helping is switching between each of Soom's five websites (quick menu link on the bottom right; there are the EURO, ENG, JAPAN, KOREA, CHINA websites) and using the Authorized Serial Number button there.
Even though the URL for it seems to be the same, the database was split into five parts last time I checked.

From my experience, dolls bought from specific webpages are only registered in their respective database. All the dolls I bought using the EURO site won't show up if I type the number into the pop-up window I get when I open the ENG website. I once bought a doll from Japan and only got a result when I switched to Soom's JAPAN page.

 

Interesting! Maybe some of mine are on the wrong website!

 

I have got a question, I have got Soom Ai, she have got Soom face up but when I enter it on the website it told me nothing, I heard from other members that it is soom problem with old dolls (2008 year) is it really so?

 

I would post on the Soom's Q&A board just to see what they can do. From my experience, they sent me a wrong CoA before. I found out about a month after so I asked them about it and they sent me the correct one free of charge.

On another note, my Soom Cheshire jr., Raine (Left) and Soom Lilid Mountain Lion, Anri (Right) just got back from home yesterday from the talented, momochu. They're so adorable!!!

 

I have gotten replacement certificates from Soom also, but they frequently aren't entered into the database either or the date is current and not even close to the original date! Are they doing better now?

 

Thank you very much for your answer, I will ask them about it, maybe they can help.

 

Thank you so much!

 

I'm fairly sure the older ones aren't actually in the database; I remember testing it out with one of my two older ones, and getting nothing back.

Speaking of, I don't think I've ever shared all three of mine, though that's partially because two of the three haven't had any aesthetics work done, the third needs to be redone, and all three need clothes. But unpacking dolls post-move has been a massive challenge due to some unfortunate circumstances... so when I got a couple of wall shelves up today, I decided to unpack some dolls, and they got picked to be in that batch! So here's a very candid shot of the three of them.

Freedom! by vicemage, on Flickr

I think I'm going to start collecting some inspiration photos for them, and make each one a full "project" to get them done up in their theme (earth, air, and fire, respectively), with at least one complete outfit just for them. I'm also thinking I'm going to open up Samedi's eyes; does anyone have a Taco/Dolomi with opened eyes so I can see how it looks before I go for it?

The TG elves haven't been, but the LG elves have, though I only know this because I have a Grey/Ace body for one of my hybrid girls. I'm going to cross my fingers for a TG elves one, though, because I really, really want Picro/Sammi for my "water" TG!

 

I just purchased a Lucky My life was ready for a new soomling. Now I get to go through the fun part of trying to find a wig and eyes and clothes for her and deciding what her 'look' will be.

 

That's awesome @NoDivision! Lucky is really adorable! I'd love to have one someday, too. I look forward to seeing photos!

My husband and I have been house-sitting at his Aunt's house for a little over a month. I really need to bring my babies out here and get some photos while I can, because it's really gorgeous out here! Unfortunately, it's also been incredibly hot (like around 100 degrees Fahrenheit hot!), so outside photos might not be the best idea. I'm also going to Florida in a week and a half... but I don't know if I'm going to bring any dolls with me. With my sprained elbow still healing, I'm not sure I'd want to deal with my expensive BJDs while I travel.

It's been a really crazy and emotional few months for my husband and me, so my dolls haven't really been in the forefront of my mind. I do miss this thread being active and whatnot though... I have always enjoyed the discussion and the photo spam. Maybe we can have some spam of adorable Soomlings in exotic colors. Not sure when I'll be able to get another doll, but I'm thinking I want something different than what I already have next time... like that gorgeous Lucky blue!

To start the spam, here's some of my adorable little gray boy, Tytus:

 

Just wanted to say hi again! Today (July 26th) was the 5th anniversary of the day Leira (my OE Beyla head) came home!

I can't believe I've had her for five years! Crazy...

Here's a throwback to her first day with me... She had to borrow my Yrie's body, and my R. Beyla's wig & outfit for this photoshoot, and she didn't have her permanent eyes yet, but she rocked it all! I always loved this look for her, even though it wasn't her permanent look.

 

Oh, wow, I didn't realize how quiet it was in here lately! O_O It only just occurred to me that I haven't seen it pop up in my feed much recently!

@Kelaria congrats on Leira's 'birthday'! It always surprises me, when I think back on how long I've had a doll, and how much I've loved them throughout that time! It's always a super-nice feeling!

 

Yeah. It's hard to believe I've been in this hobby for seven years now! Wren, my oldest doll, will be seven in March! I was hoping to be able to get another doll this year... but things have been really different and crazy for us, especially this summer. I haven't even had time for any photoshoots... :/ Maybe when I get back from my trip to Florida to visit my Grandma! As for doll buying... there's still time for that, I guess. ^_^ Right now we're trying to get my husband something for his hobby, but it's been out of stock for a while and we have to be good and not spend the money for it. :P

 

thank you I feel dumb now ^^ It was there all this time. You saved my life

 

My new little one is home. We're waiting on her own wig but she wanted to get out and explore and I didn't want to let her go bald.

 

@Kelaria Congrats on Leira's anniversary! She is as cute as ever!

@NoDivision Congrats on you Little Soom Lucky, she is adorable. Have you thought of a name for her?

 

Not yet. As you can probably tell from my signature I'm really slow with names haha.

 

@NoDivision I can be the same way with certain dolls I have, I changed their name multiple times.

Also, I would like to share my teenies! They're finally all dressed up and looking super cute. Raine is the gray hair one and Anri is pink. I just adore their little fangs.

 

Thank you! That photo was actually an older photo of her from the day she arrived home! Here's a newer photo from her latest photoshoot (which was actually 7 months ago... I haven't taken any doll photos lately for personal reasons, but I do need to take some when I get back from my Florida vacation!)




ETA: Your little ones are so cute! ^_^

 

The wig I commissioned from Frappzilla arrived a couple weeks back. I think it really completes my Cheshire's look.

 

Awww! @karleecakes the color combo is so good!

 

Thanks so much. I'm really pleased with her.

 

Got more photos for my little Feny~~~~~~~~

http://ww1.sinaimg.cn/mw690/a0bc9792gw1f621a4fykwj21kw11xh0e.jpg

 

goocool2, wow! Your Feny super cute!

 

That wig is so perfect for Cheshire. And I just adore your witchy Feny, goocool2. I really want a Feny but I'm holding out hope for a free choice event where I could get her in tan.

 

I took some long overdue photos of Laurel & Wren out at my Aunt's house (where we're sort-of living for the time being) yesterday!

I'm still going through them and editing and whatnot, but I wanted to get one uploaded and shared with you guys because I'm pretty excited about it! I don't have opportunity to take a lot of outdoor photos of my dolls, but the landscaping around my Aunt's house is gorgeous and yesterday was a nice cooler day, so I took advantage!

Here's Laurel enjoying some nice weather and a lovely view!

 

That's better! My little bluebird's actual wig came in today. Now we just need to work on faceup.

 

Oh she's gorgeous, @NoDivision!! What a lovely little girl! Her wig is perfect and I adore her dress! Such a stunning little bird!

 

She's so beautiful! I love this girl.

How cute! That wig is really pretty.

 

Ahhhh, I got pictures back from the artist who's working on Vesta's hooves/tail and Cosette's heads and they pretty close to being finished. All of the parts are looking super adorable and I can't wait to have them all home and complete!

I'm also finally going to post Cosette's box opening once she's all back in one piece so I can show pictures of her blank as well a painted.

 

Wow, I am waiting for Cosettes's pictures. Even blank I think Cosettes are one of the beautiful soom mold!

 

Hello fellow Teenie Gem owners.

I wanted to see if anyone here happens to know how Soom resin takes dye? I know each company's resin reacts to dye a little differently. I ask because I've been neglecting my poor Pyrol for far too long, and in hopes of bonding with him again I'd like to dye his unicenta half a darker color (using iDye Poly).

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

PS: Can I also request spam of Teenie Gems w/ fantasy parts?

 

I think Mayday dyed a TG and it looked great! Just be sure to use either I-dye Poly or Rit Dye-More as they are designed for made made types of fibers and take to resin better than regular Rit.

 

Happy to oblige!



Still working on going through and editing the photos from this photoshoot... but I've had so much to do lately that it keeps getting put on the back-burner. But I'm going to try not to put it off forever!

 

Awesome! Thank you so much! I'll have to check out Mayday's Teenie Gem.

What a cutie! Thank you! Looks like a lazy summer day. Now I want to go outside and take a nap or something.

 

Hehe! Definitely! It was a very nice day when I took those photos! ^_^ Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed the photo!
