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. Today, I am totally feeling like getting her.
      I hope I wake up tomorrow and decide against it. xD
       
    2. It would be a while before I'll know if I can bring her home, so I'm trying to not look, because the more I look, the more I find I like her.

      She's wonderfully unearthly, not completely 'pretty' -- she has an alienness that I really like that isn't classical beauty but something more ethereal to me. She reminds me greatly of Heliot in that way; he had the same quality to me. The unusual horn crown, and the wing shape, have really interesting proportions. I would have expected to see the 'spiky-craggy' stuff on a male sculpt, and am SO happy to see them on a female doll! I love the juxtaposition of 'slightly eerie' and 'ethereally graceful', which hits me right in the wallet every time.
       
    3. Come on, surreality. Jump on the layaway bandwagon one more time. You know you want to. ;)

      It's hard to tell from the angle and Photoshop bloom, but her wings might be transparent/pearl resin as well. Sorta like Nenad's wings.

      And for those wondering about transportation: my Sphaler gets carted all over the place. And he lives in his huge dragon feet. I use a cheap duffel bag with a top that zips open. It can hold 2 Sooms (with fantasy parts) and a few MSD or YoSDs. So I wouldn't worry about dragging this girl around. :)
       
    4. Oh. My. God. CRAP. Nononono. I just bought my second doll and I REALLY can't afford her... and I love her already... This is bad... there is NO way I can get her... Maybe I'll just get the wings and horns for my Amber....
       
    5. WTB/WTS chat isn't allowed in these threads. You'll have to post something in the Marketplace Splits section when she's released. :)
       
    6. Sorry, I wasn't actually expecting an answer, I was sorta joking. xD But I guess I'll take it out anyway. ^^
       
    7. I sooooo want to, and if I can I will -- just need to see that all the funds (and projects to bring in funds) are lined up first. That at this point in the month I can make my existing payments for November in full (the last on Gluino at least), and still have a bit left over, is a good sign, though! ...not for my shelves, not for the dwindling space in my house, but a good sign for bringing her home! *evil cackle*

      I am worried that the moment I do this, though, they're going to release a NS Vesuvia and I will end up crying like a schoolgirl with a skinned knee since it'd be one or the other there.
       
    8. She reminds me of Heliot as well, and since I have a Heliot girl, I think I am safe with not needing this one. She does look amazing though, and I adore those hands.
       
    9. She is absolutely stunning! The horns and wings scream "dragon" to me, I cannot think of anything else she can be (though I'm not holding my breath since Soom has surprised us in the past). I just want to see her pictures!!

      I don't think I'll be going for her, since my bjd collection is near complete (if it cannot be turned into an OC of mine, I don't buy). Though I think I might need her dress.
       
    10. Hmmm hmmm, interesting... :)

      I wonder... since Soom has created a "centauroid Gem" section after Epidos... could this lady be a centauroid dragon-lady??? :D:D:D

      She would look a lot like some medieval depictions of the Fairy Melusine (like this one)... :ablink:
       
    11. That would be pretty cool, but I feel like she's already got too many fantasy parts for them to make her a centaur as well. I'd be happy to be proved wrong, of course. ;)
       
    12. Aw man that'd be cool! 'Course there's no way I can get her altogether, so it wouldn't matter. But wouldn't it be great if Soom did an even more amazing version of the DZ dragon girl/boy?! Awww, they'd kill at it. I would die just to SEE that.
       
    13. That would be amazing! Though I am just excited about this girl in general. Can't wait to see ^^

      edit] When are we assuming her pics will be shown?
       
    14. If they want to release her before the weekend, then it will have to be tomorrow(it'll be the wee hours of the morning because of our time difference). If they don't release her for sale this week, then we could possibly expect something Sunday night/Monday morning as Sunday in the US is their Monday, and they'll be back at work. Did any of that make sense, lol.
       
    15. Lol yes, thank you :) I hope they release her tomorrow morning, it'd be a nice start to the day lol
       
    16. Hmm, it's interesting...the Epidos unikenta body blushing was only $120, and her body blushing is $130. I wonder if the wings are that complicated, or if she really will have alternate legs?

      .hlp
       
    17. hey, that's a good observation... Maybe she does have some really awesome lower body, cause I mean... I have no real idea, but the wings don't look that complex at the moment....
       
    18. Oh my god if they made 5 and 6 part layaway available for her I'd actually be able to scrounge it together... *steeples fingers*
       
    19. Oh!!! New pics!!

      I'm going to die...she's so beautiful...
