Story Of Seventh Day Discussion

My fingers are crossed for you @aeth! He's a stunning doll.

 

Same here! I asked the artist and they said there would be layaway available

 

I really need that body in my life but her dolls are ssssso expensive. But I've been waiting for a bendy, elegant male body that wasn;t too buff. Does anyone know any more info? I've been following pictures but not much else - will they be available through a dealer for longer layaway or would it just be direct through her?

 

Most probably direct as she told me the preorder will start on 25th and will last just a few days. I was not aware the cost is 1000 and more.. I am sad.. My budet is 500+ but 1k.. T__T

 

I'm moreso interested in the body and not the head but I know they sell them as complete dolls, so I'll probably pick one up and offer a split later on for anyone who wants the head.

 

I sent an order email this morning, I'm so excited!

 

I was so sad when I couldn't find anyone offering any of the Seth heads for splits

 

I recently found out about this artist and their body just blew me away! I've always been more into realistic sculpts but felt that sometimes this would impede on the mobility.
So I sent out my email for ordering today. I'm so excited!

 

What resin tones is everyone choosing? Deciding is hard. I also can't choose between the body only or Silver. I love his smirky half closed face.

 

I got white. Most of my dolls are white.

 

I decided on normal as I want to really go for that Chinese, long hair royal vibes boy. I personally find stark white to be a bit difficult to paint so normal it is.
I went with Silver version 2.
I am so excited.
@Littlebirdzoom they let me know that it's not possible to order the body only. You have to decide on a full doll.
I just paid in full. So now the wait begins

 

I see now that I was confused because the body and heads are listed separately and for some reason the head types are different prices. There's a lot of tangent going on between basic info on the website so I was confused. XD I originally wanted to try to match a body to a ID head in one of the special colors, but I think I might just also go for Silver 2 in normal.

 

join the club!
I also got Silver 2 in normal. I am beyond excited. I know we'll be in for a bit of a wait as they do the packing themselves but I look forward to it!

 

Can't wait to see what you do with your Silver 2! The more I look at him the more ideas I get for him - he'll be fun. Might turn mine into a hot demon with a backstory, we'll see what I come up with

I ended up getting normal with all the extra parts except the extra hands because I liked the jointed hands enough. Now the wait begins

 

I ordered Wei Qing in gray. He's going to be an earth genasi or goliath, because he'll be the tallest of all my dolls. He's got all the extra parts, except the static hands.
I'm very excited! I did go for a longer layaway this time, as I think it'll be quite a long wait

 

Oooh, gray will be lovely.
I was so tempted by gray, but I'm making a hybrid. I got Silver General version 1 though, as I've grown fond of him through all the demo photos. I also got all the hands and feet, and the jointed hands too.

 

I was going to sit this one out originally, but the posing capability wouldn't allow me to let it be...
I went with white too since I've too many special floating heads of this size in that resin tone to ignore the hybrid potential.
asked for Silver General too - not sure if I read it correctly, but seems like maybe he won't be offered for the official sale period?

also, @Mirth - about Seth, the main order period dolls seem to be just now being received by the artist and are in QC before shipping, so you might still get a chance at a Seth head

 

Congratulations to all who ordered dolls!! I hope they make their way to you all quickly and safely.
I absolutely adore my Seth, and I'm praying my free time and some good weather will align so that I can paint him. I should take some comparison photos of him with my other dolls - he's easily my biggest even without the ears!

 

Oeh love this idea as well!
I also got all extra parts except the other hands. I felt like the jointed hands would cover plenty. I want to be able to take full advantage of all options he has and I have always wanted jointed hands. I'm already working on a diorama for him. I was already planning to build one. I had the closet prepared for the upper part to be for other dolls but I decided the bottom part could be his.
I'm thinking a bit of a cyberpunk type vibe.

 

Oooh that sounds rad @AllyCat!

 

thanks for sharing that info, I was starting to wonder if maybe I should contact the artist for an update!

 

I ordered 2/3 of the sephiroth heads in white as part of a group order; shame I couldn't find someone for the third head since I'm curious about what the gift is. I got jointed hands, heel feet, and...
I wasn't going to order a head for myself at first, but I decided to get one in the end. The body is a big investment so I think I will just use it for multiple heads, hahaha.

 

Someone please tell me you ordered the 13 optional dolly peens.
I desperately want to know what 13 optional peens entails... (yes, I am a child with an 8-year-old's sense of humor)

 

I absolutely did haha

 

Those peens were the first confirmed part of my order when I was deciding there was no way I wasn't gonna get them lmao xD

 

Someone please tag me when you get them...
I need to see. For reasons.

 

I'll let you know in 12 months

 

Yes, I absolutely need to see these as well

 

Does any one know when Silver General/sephiroth is supposed to be ready/shipped out? I vaguely recall reading it somewhere when ordering but can't seem to find it now.

 

I'm not sure there is an official date since many things could come up with our test subjects (discount) pre-order during production, but if it's consistent with the other releases it's been around a year for the first run for Horus and Seth, and then the official pre-order is staggered later. her instagram has the most updates usually.

 

Yeah, it was around a years wait for the prototype Seth pre-order. I'm hoping Silver will start shipping out after the New Year.

 

@bad_doll_customs

Well, looks like Sephiroth/Silver General and Weiqing are already going to be shipped soon!

 

I got my shipping invoice for Sephi today

 

Two more months of paying off for me See y'all in January with my 13 new fridge magnets!

 

I was so sad to miss the silver general but I’m so excited to see owner photos!

 

Oooh exciting! Best wishes for a safe and speedy travel through the post.

 

Has anyone else gotten their tracking numbers yet? I paid for shipping but have yet to get tracking. I hope he gets here before January ends!

 

I recieved my doll for Christmas! He's really amazing.

I just spoke to the artist and they said they were working on shipping all week, so hopefully you get news soon.

 

Yeah, seems like EMS has yet to give her tracking numbers on some packages because she shipped so many. Patience is key, patience is key...

But congratulations!! Looking forward to pictures.

Is anyone who ordered Silver General / Sephiroth actually going to make him into a Sephiroth shell, or something else? I'm so excited to see.

 

Yay! It's great to hear they're finally making it out to their owners. I can't wait to see photos.
I really need to get off my butt and paint my Seth, but the red resin intimidates me

 

Mine is not going to be Sephy, he's actually for a hybrid

 

I found one! My plan is to actually make him into Sephiroth.

 

Does anyone have any owner photos of Silver? I’m in the process of buying my own Silver off the marketplace and want to see how people are styling him

 

Any one else been keeping track of the new doll Anubis? I didn't have the money for Seth at the time, but Anubis is equally handsome. Here's hoping they permit a blue or another more unusual resin. That red was gorgeous

 

He's beautiful! I'm keen to see if he will get a beast head too.

 

I'm not sure if things have changed along the way based on her comment, but she shared this work in progress back in July of the beast head on her IG:
SOSD White Light Anubis Link
he's fluffy maybe the feather he's balancing against a soul is a quill he's got a Victorian/Edwardian vibe to me.

I'm really sad, I'll probably have to sit this one out unless I can find a split for the beast head, I can't do the whole doll this year.

Which is a bummer since that last pose series shared with the sword held behind his back is amazing though, the body looks terrific.

Blue resin would be amazing!

 

As tempted as I was by her Anubis previews, I am absolutely utterly devastated to discover that she's a transphobe. I don't think I'll be buying any more dolls from her in the future.

 

I’m really relieved to see other people are boycotting.

 

Where did you hear this? Heartbreaking to find out…glad I sold off my doll now.

 

@Strawberrybria

Spoiler: CW: Transphobia mentions

The short version is, someone on one of SoSD's Instagram posts made a comment along the lines of "what on earth is this content?" (likely a reaction to one of the body posing posts with R18 promo images) and SoSD went into a completely unrelated tangent of saying that she equates trans people with sexual predators.

When a small dealer then said they could no longer offer SoSD's work as her transphobic comments went against the dealer's business ethos, SoSD had a bizarre, hostile exchange of messages with the dealer, which SoSD then posted publically, presenting the messages out of chronological order with some messages concealed, on her Instagram, accusing the dealer of attacking her (as well as making incorrect assumptions about the dealer's career outside of the hobby, values and behaviour).
In addition to the transphobic comments in the messages, SoSD said some unusual things such as claiming she had clairvoyance and had been a man in a previous life.

Personally, I think it's pretty hypocritical of someone who markets their work with R18 m/m erotica to turn around and say the particular kind of LGBTQI+ art they make is a "beautiful expression of pure love" but that an entire other group of LGBTQI+ people are "corrupted" or "wrong" simply for existing.

Also, even if Instagram's tagging system is largely non-functional, SoSD shouldn't be surprised that people have negative reactions to non-censored R18 fanwork erotica when she posts it in FFVII tags outside of the BJD sphere.
BJD hobbyists might be more used to naked anatomically correct bodies showing up when they browse social media (non-censored depictions of sex are taking it a bit further than usual however) but Final Fantasy fans could reasonably be unpleasantly surprised if they're trying to browse a tag and they're suddenly slapped in the face with Sephiroth genitalia.

SoSD's logic leaps and hypocrisy are baffling to me, and I sure as hell won't ever consider ordering from her, even if she is a talented sculptor.

 

Look at the comments on this post—she likens trans people to pedophiles in an absolutely disgusting comment.

bonus: I was the one to point out SoSD’s transphobia to that dealer and I am incredibly heartened by how quickly they removed SoSD and responded to their behaviour. It’s rare these days to see people really stick up for trans people when there’s financial incentive not to, but they put their money where their mouth was and I’m proud of them for that.

 

That's sickening like I'm actually so grossed out by her behavior. Is there a chance she's filtering/deleting comments? I'm not seeing anything regarding trans people on that post (unless I'm blind). I'm grateful for people like you who stick up for others and do their best to make a change, I'm glad the company listened to you and dropped her. She doesn't deserve any business after that.

 

From what I heard over on the Big BJD Discord server, anyone who disagreed with SoSD's "callout post" on the dealer was blocked.
When I last checked, the post had comments disabled. The silence speaks volumes.

 

Ahhh okay I found her FB "callout post," I unfollowed her on FB after selling off my Silver since her page wasn't relevant to me anymore. Her takes are insane!!! Thank you both for informing me.

 

I was so confused by the post they posted and wondered where the transphobia even came from. Personally, I don't like jumping to conclusions if they actually meant it that way or it was a genuine misunderstanding of what they meant to say I would like to see the specific comment they made stating that.
Anyways such a shame it came down to that I unfollowed them.

 

@RoyalRegals
It seems the original transphobic comment on the post @Chameleon linked has been deleted by SoSD.
There are traces of where it used to be in other comments where she mentions violence and sexual abuse.
The original "what on earth" style comment that set off SoSD's transphobic reaction has also been removed, as well as any non-positive comments.
This is the removed comment and reply that set this chain of events in motion:

Spoiler: Transphobia warning

I don't enjoy drama, but I think it's important that people are aware of the beliefs and values held by artists and businesses, and what they are supporting as customers by giving that artist/business their money.

 

I too am blocking and boycotting her for this disgusting behavior. I LOVE her work but I don't want to buy from someone who holds views like this. Yuck.

 

I found out about this MID ORDER. I was ordering from dolce specifically and they provided the receipts, saying they could not take the order any more. I immediately blocked the artist cause I did not even wanna provide the mildest engagement although hearing she doubled down, I'm more then glad I did.

 

That is such a weird and disgusting thing to say how could she even equate the two even being remotely the same thing!?

 

Thanks for linking all of those posts folks, I had seen only the stuff she herself had posted but not what set it all off initially so that's interesting. What a strange way to out yourself as a horrible person. guess it worked though.
I really don't know what to do now though. I really love my Seth doll. He's basically a dream come true in terms of BJDs - but much like another form of media I used to really enjoy, he's been tarnished by his artist. I'm deeply disappointed.
