Teaser Photo Released for Soom’s New Monthly Doll

Korean manufacturer DollSoom yet again strikes fear into the wallets of BJD enthusiasts with their newest monthly doll. Only teaser images have been released thus far. Full body photos, along with specs and price, should be along within the week.

The monthly doll for March is called Cuprit: Black Frost.  Based purely on teaser photo speculation, Cuprit appears to be a dark, female companion to last December’s MD, Heliot.  Cuprit is also expected to be part of Soom’s Super Gem line, which would put her size at approximately 65cm tall.

The monthly doll releases have proven to be wildly popular, despite the hefty price tag.  Super Gem monthlies start at around $790USD.  With costume, accessories, face-up, wig, etc, a fullset generally works out closer to $1200-$1300.  Each monthly doll is a limited edition.  Once the ordering period closes, they are no longer available through Soom.  Buyers who missed out must search the secondary market.  Soom monthly enthusiasts will tell you that these dolls are well worth the trouble, from the imaginative, fantasy sculpts, to the painstakingly constructed garments.  Soom also provides a layaway plan with monthly installments, for those who fall in love, but can’t manage one lump sum.

More details as they become available.  In the meantime, Soom fanciers keep vigil on www.dollsoom.com where comment boards, and photos of past monthlies, will help pass the time until Cuprit goes on sale.
