Soom MD October: Nephelin – Sacred Vow

Oct 5, 2010

    1. I want this girl so bad! I just don't see any way I can afford her though... It is making me really sad. I had written off Soom big girls after the disappointment of Breccia, but this girl is so lovely, like a beam of pure light.
       
    2. First of all i have no interest in this MD besides chatting.
      BUT as this is a limited doll i expect to receve her like shown on the promo piccies.
      I haven't said that soom shall decrese the sale price of the wig since i have to comb the braids in a certain way,i said that it's a trick.I expect to receve a perfect combed wig...
      soom is honest to shown how combing the wig,that's for sure appreciable is like saying: NOTICE you won't receve as shown,but then again i would rather preferred then that soom shown the wig as i get..

      I have no words towards IH for the tokyo story wigs as IH shown a perfect geisha hair style wig, then what i get is:
      a very long long wig to style as i prefer most...BUT...i've paid for a geisha hairstyle wig!
      IMO it's a cheap trick.
       
    3. How is that a trick? It's not like Soom makes it a big secret and just sends out different looking wigs without saying a word.
      Besides, you really only need to move one braid around and tie a knot. Not that much work, is it.
       
    4. It's trivial i know,BUT..this is my opinion.
      As i get a different,even slightly, wig then soom should shown as i get.
      If moving a braid isn't that much work why soom won't made it,and i shall make by myself?

      Oh anyone know if wigs come with that nice jewelry?
      Since as far i know tha jewelry won't come with galena wigs,but with costume,anyone knows if will be the same for Nephelin?
       
    5. Yes, Hun ... The jewelry comes with the outfit :)
       
    6. Uhmm if this thread should go on like this, i'll surely quit this chatting,
      as honestly i've just expressed my point of view, i'd agree at all with $abbatha,
      i know it's just a wig, and just a braid, so why soom didn't combed on thier own?They waste time in taking pics, Soom can save this time and done the hairstyle, what Iplehouse done with the geisha wig is simply umbelievable, Soom taking time and stated that wig comes different then shown, IH simply didn't dare to.
      Personally i have no interest in lmited Soom wig, as i've get quite upsetted by Galena one, that comes messy, without jewels shown in pic, and also in different color, that's why i'm so annoyd about the nephelin wig hairstyle.
       
    7. Ok,so the wig it's completely useless to me XD
      Thanks Dear!
       
    8. I know that isn't such a great work, but IMO it's not such a big deal shown a wig that comes to you with different hairstyle...
       
    9. Why not just ask Soom about their reasons, if you really wanna know? :)
       
    10. But it's just chatting XD
      I'm a giurassic lady,i want what i see.
       
    11. I think its impossible to sell the wig styled as shown, as it would be hard to get it on the head where the braid is placed. That's why you have to put the wig on the doll and then move the braid. Otherwise if Soom sold the wig as shown, people would have to remove the braid's position to place the wig on the doll's head. I have some experience as a hairstylist and its plain as day to me that we'd have trouble putting the wig on the doll, especially when the braid is over the ear. Plus the hair ornament is being overlapped by the braid so it would be a permanent piece on the head if the wig came as styled. Unless they made a clasp on the jewelry, but that seems like such a mess to be pulling in and out of the wig.

      I think if I had bought those IH dolls and the wigs weren't styled I'd be fiercely mad because who the heck can style geisha hair. XD; I can understand though why some people are upset, but there isn't much that can be done at this point.

      I really like the wig, but wish it were dark brown but oh well its still pretty. And I'm so getting her and turning her into a boy to go with my Topaz. I fell in love with her face at first sight. I gave up my Amber because of her ears and regret not getting Breccia, and this girl is such a sister to those three molds. :aheartbea
       
    12. I love the look of the dress, but I know Soom'd clothes are so fragile! It will make it less money if I do find a way to get her I suppose...

      Edit: When my boyfriend saw her he said, "oh she looks like the mermaid...Cass". I thought that was funny because, as far as I know, no one has mentioned her being like Cass yet. I think she looks like Amber/Breccia/Onyx
       
    13. No, according to this the wig COMES ALREADY BRAIDED. No combing required. :)

      All you are doing is flipping one of the braids up over her head.

      You are not being tricked, or scammed. You are being told by Soom what the deal is. Maybe the one braid won't stay wrapped around easily unless it is actually on the doll's head? This would make it impossible to ship as it is shown in the pictures.

      I see no issue here. Of all the things to nitpick, having to easily flip a braid around the doll's head is not one that makes much sense. You could always just not buy the wig and save yourself the money if it's really that big a deal.
       
    14. That's make a sense i suppose,thanks for explaining.

      The wig is a sort of almond blond,isn't it?
       
    15. Soom really does like giving their SG girls blond hair, don't they? ;) And that is good to know about the extra hands.

      The more I look at her the more I want to get her, but I have a feeling getting her head only will be a pain. *sigh* I'm tempted to get the whole doll, 'cause the fantasy feet don't look like they'd be all clunky and awkward to handle (like the hooves with the extra joint) and they are really neat. But dangit, Soom, why must all of your 1/3 girls be so HUGE? :| Though in this case that kinda fits, what with her being a dragon and all. xD *ponders how hard it would be to mod her body into a boy*
       
    16. But are you having fun?
      Ok then go alone.
      I'm not flaming on anyone,simply try to share my opinion,but if you'll starting to flaming on me thet i guess i would rather leave.

      it's MY opinion,i don't ask no one to share,just told mine.

      I think that anything is possible,juts maybe check with a good modders,maybe.

      Why don't give this Md a chance?I'm sure you would love her!

      I readed in the opening box of Gluino that even his wig wasen't exaclty in a good color...don't if the buyers expect to be more blondie or more copper or something like that,i don't remeber correctly ^^"
       
    17. well i've just express my opinion,
      you have yours i have mine, but if can't express what i think then i willl leave, no matter, as i have no interest in been flaming, and waste time in chatting on a wig honestly.XD
      I reapet my point of view just cause someone quoting me, and i try to express better the second time,
      then again everyone have different opinion there's no need to think all the same ^.^
      About wig color i don't know, my galena wig comes totaly different i'm expecting in strawberry blond color, and come in cream blond color instead....
       
    18. Well for my part I love the wig and am in a split for it, LOL! ^ ^ What comes, comes, it's not the most I've paid for one by far in this hobby!

      The question is, do I want to order her? I woke up this morning, totally convinced, yes, that I was strong enough to resist. LOLOL! Well at this point, nuh-uh, she's absolutely charming again. I think it's going to be a long hike to the end of the month, typically on something like this I hem and haw until the last day and then panic-order because I can't visualize living without the doll...or not. Sigh.

      .hlp
       
    19. Um, guys? Soom has been doing the same wig trick for awhile. Soom's pictures of Glati show his hair tied back. But when I got the wig it was just straight. I had to tie it myself (or not). So this "trick" is nothing new.

      Personally I think I'd rather style the wig on my own. Otherwise it would probably get all tangled on the trip home.

      I can't decide what color the wig actually is. If you look at the light pictures it's gray-blond. If you look at the dark pictures it's almond blond/brown.
