Epic Fantasy Ball-Joined Dolls

December 13th, 2010

I am completely in awe of these beautiful fantasy dolls from Soom Emporium. The newest release is Shoshon-The First Cánë, shown above. Previous monthly limited edition dolls include Centaur Epidos, Aphan the Faun and Chalco the Forest King. Sadly for me they come with an equally impressive price tag, so I can only admire from afar, but if you happen to have the money there are probably far worse things you could spend it on!
