1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

Soom MD October: Nephelin – Sacred Vow

Oct 5, 2010

    1. Breccia IS absolutely fabulous! She was my first SG. I know many people insult her chest size and say she was a disappointment, but I think the exact opposite! I love her very much. In fact, I named her Love because she has such a sweet face and seems to look good next to every sculpt! I think Breccia could use a dragon friend, but I think my future Monzo (who should arrive in the mail any day now) can use a dragon girl more so!

      If you regret not getting Breccia, I fully recommend you search for her. That's what I had to do. I think her fantasy parts are so unique and different. She's such a joy, and Soom's faceup suits her perfectly.

      My avatar is from my favorite anime, Evangelion <3 It might not be an official picture from the series though...
       
    2. Oh SAD I just discovered she has human ears. T_____T
      Huge disappointment there.
      For some reason I thought the dragon horns were covering her ears (not sure why I thought such a thing) and so it didn't even occur to me to check for ear shape. Then I noticed the earring picture at the bottom of the page T____T
      Why would a dragon have human ears? I mean seriously? T____T
      I still desperately want her it's just such a big let down.. would have thought they'd at least have given her little pointy ears or something. sigggggh. T_T
       
    3. She is too expensive to me as this moment...I just paid for Photon...and I don't like her dragon wing.
      I need to think about it carefully...
       
    4. Going against the grain here. While I think the human portion of the doll is beautiful, the wings and whatever the heck is poking out of her head look awful. I don't think there was any creativity or craftsmanship applied to either the wings or her "ears". Feet look good though.

    6. I think the only thinks that disappoint me are,
      a) the human ears - I'm just a big human ear hater over here xDD But I know that nowadays fantasy ears often means two heads so the fantasy ear haters can get what they want, and that means the price jumps up.. so I guess I'll just settle for the human ears xD
      b) the fact that the wings aren't transparent, but it's not enough to make me not get the doll because I still love the wings and the way they've been blushed.. it's just a big shame they're not transparent.

      But apart from that I think she's perfect. She actually might grab me even more than Cuprit.. which I should say quietly as I can already see my Titania glaring at me from inside her closet! xDDD
       
    7. I agree with you fully. Although, I'm such a human ear hater that I think I may have too many elf and fantasy ears in my collection. That's why I'm a little happy Nephelin has normal ears. Also, we could try covering her ears with her wig so just the horns are showing and look like they could be apart of her ears XD

      I was also hoping her wings would be transparent, however, the colors within her blushing really blow me away and therefore I don't think I'd want her wings any other way.

      I'm in love with the greenish red mix of colors! That's what makes me love her even more!
       
    8. Well, I just put my Dia head up for sale and got a buyer like that! I also got a year extension on a $10,000 loan from my parents. It seems like everything is falling into place so I can get this girl but I'm so torn as to how exactly I want her. Do I really want to keep her a dragon girl or should I split off the fantasy parts? If I do that, what theme should I go with? Do I want her with face up? I never get face-ups because I enjoy doing my own, but there is no way I could do anything as beautiful as this default face-up. Should I get the eyes or no? The questions go on and on... It's going to take me some time to figure this out :?
       
    9. This is your opinion,thanks so much for singing out of choir.

      Respect her opinion please.Com'on..
      Even me found this MD perfect in her complexion,and the concept is amazing,but i don't see how a different opinion could be considered offensive or hurtful towards soom collectors.

      Well Heid,just make your own considerations about getting her or not.
      This could be the last female MD from soo,so it worths a try imo.
      Then again long layaway helps to make a dreams come true...

      midnitestar7 don't pass her just for ears,you will regrets her.
       
    10. I was also super bummed about this, but then when my plans unfolded for this doll I realized I wanted to give her Topaz ears (as soon as I can find a pair -_-; yikes) and they'll only fit on regular human ears! All in all I was REALLY surprised she came with regular human ears. Definitely seems like she should have been blessed with pointy elf ears, or scalloped ears like Cuprit.
       
    11. LIke wig, jewellry and clothes a bit. Her face is plane and meaningless to me. Also the special parts look ludicrous. She lacks style in anyway.
      I'm waiting for another fairy or mini.
       
    12. Sure if you don't find Nephelin irresistable better to pass.Better to go for another MD.
      Thanks for sharing your opinion too.
       
    13. Thanks for posting frankly your opinion.

      well surely if she' not your cup pf tea better to quit her.
       
    14. I love her and will definitely be placing an order! I plan to order on Oct. 22nd... Can't wait :) :) :)
       
    15. I'm so tempted to even just buy the fantasy parts from a split now and then try to find the head later....I don't know... But $800+ for just the doll with no extras is so much for me right now...
       
    16. WEEEE can't wait,happy for you Dear!!!
      Gah..so sad..wanting a doll and cannot afford it..i know how you feel..i'm sorry...

    18. Missimissi I hope you decide to stick around, I think if anything has been shown here is that everyone is entitled to their opinion.
       
    19. I have to admit, looking at the wings from behind in more detail http://dollsoom.com/eng/bbs/board.php?bo_table=gemgallery&wr_id=113 they do have a little bit of a wonky-fimo / polymer clay job feel to them. I'd have to admit this is throwing me off a bit too. She's a gorgeous girl as a doll in general, though...but I'd have to agree with what others have said about the ears...with human ears it is a bit of a shame for a fantasy character. Once again, she makes a really pretty human doll girl, and the fantasy dragon feet are gorgeous but the wings are now starting to turn me off.
       
    20. I think the wings were made to look new and different, rather than copying the look of any older MDs. They're just stylized.

      I also don't think MissiMissi was trying to disrespect anyone's opinions. I think she was just defending soom. You can't say an artist didn't put creativity into their work. That's subjective. Not a fact.
