Nehelenia Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Hello, my long awaited Saber head arrived today. I got her from a split back in October. I've been waiting to get my own Saber ever since I started on this hobby and now my dream finally came true. Even though she was long awaited I had a bitter-sweet experience opening her box... This morning I checked my tracking number to see if there was any new actions and sadly it was still where it was 2 days ago so I gave up hope she will arrive today. Later when I was about to call it a day at work I checked once again having no hope but!!! I was wrong the tracking was telling me she was already home waiting for me. After word I drove home as fast as I could and when I arrived I finally got her box into my hands. I removed the tape and gave the box over to my super exited Seiren to get her sister out of the box. 100_2941 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Seiren: She is here Lucifer! Help me get her out!! Lucifer: Yeah.. sure, just stop acting like crazy. Me: :> Stop talking and start opening 100_2943 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Seiren: Here we gooo... I am coming to save you Saber! Me: Let me help! *rushes over to the box* Lucifer: Ladies, ladies noooo! 100_2945 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Me: Oops Seiren: ... I am OK, I'm OK. Sorry for this Saber. Lucifer: I could totally see this one coming 100_2946 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Me: There.. She is out. Here hold her Seiren, time to get her free. Lucifer: I can almost see her face... A bit more patience my precious, you are almost free. *Both me and Seiren eyed Lucifer* Lucifer: What? Anyway... get on with it... I'll go check what else is in the box. 100_2947 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr .... 100_2948 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Lucifer: I found this thing. Looks like hair. 100_2949 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Seiren: Stop fooling around Luci! Go get her body! Lucifer: Agrrr... OK aaaaand DO NOT call me Luci! It's a girly name! *Me: :> I couldn't hold my self I took Saber from Sei's hands to get a closer peek 100_2952 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Me: OMG She is soooooo pretty! Seiren: Not fair! Let me see her too. At least wait till we get her out of that nasty bag. 100_2953 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Seiren: Dear lord... Master! You better see this... After taking Saber out I froze in horror... She had black stains all over her head!! The pictures doesn't show the real horror... stain3 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr stain2 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr stain1 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr I was soo sad.. I forgot all my excitement. I tried to clean it up with water immediately but it wouldn't go away!!! I was freaking out.. I tried soap, nothing... In the end I had to use white spirit... There are still some light shades left on her but at least you cannot see them if you don't know what to look for. Still I was devastated. After placing her head on her body and putting her wig on I felt much better. 100_2959 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr ???: Greetings young lady, are you the one who called me into this world? Are you my Master? Me: Hello, my name is Katerina and yes I am the one who summoned you. 100_2958 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr Saber: Nice to meet you Master Katerina. I am Saber and I will be your sword in this battle. 100_2995 by QueeNehelenia, on Flickr And here she is with her new eyes, especially made for her on the custom event that twin snow held last month. Sorry for the long post and thank you all for your time Edited July 3, 2012 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Innocentsake Posted July 3, 2012 Eep! So glad you were able to remove most of the staining! Did you talk to the person who sent her to you about it? She looks really beautiful and the custom eyes from Twin-Snow are gorgeous~! Congrats on your new addition Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baldylox Posted July 3, 2012 Yay! Saber has finally arrived! So glad you have her home, even if she had some stains on her at least she's there and looking good. Congrats! I also like her new eyes, those look really nice! Billy I gave up counting the girls I own, they keep multiplying and won't stop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DJStarstryker Posted July 4, 2012 It looks like from your pics that she was wrapped in bubble wrap and packing peanuts but I have to ask... was the head wrapped in newspaper? I once got a doll that someone had stupidly wrapped up in newspaper and the newspaper ink had lightly stained the doll. Had to clean that up. That's what your pics remind me of even though I don't see newspaper anywhere. Are you ready to rock? ^_^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scripple Posted July 4, 2012 I'm glad you finally got your Saber! I can tell everyone was very excited about her arrival. Nice eyes you had made for her. Now you just need to swap the red hair ribbon for a blue one. That's a bummer about the staining. If it's not too close to the face paint you can probably get the rest of the stains out with some benzoyl peroxide. Check out my new DollFun website.

Nehelenia Posted July 4, 2012 Congrats on finally getting Saber! Those custom eyes are really lovely~ It's a shame about the staining, but I'm glad you managed to (mostly) fix it! Thanks, it's good to finally have her home. Glad you liked the eyes. Darn it staining!!! But I love those eyes! Jealous much! Thanks I made them with all my love. Eep! So glad you were able to remove most of the staining! Did you talk to the person who sent her to you about it? She looks really beautiful and the custom eyes from Twin-Snow are gorgeous~! Congrats on your new addition I am really glad I managed to remove it as well. I don't know what I would have done if not I send her a message today, I wasn't sure what to say to her... Thanks I am glad you liked her eyes now its waiting for the sword Both sword and outfit. But I don't really care how long they will take to come, now that I have her head ^^ Yay! Saber has finally arrived! So glad you have her home, even if she had some stains on her at least she's there and looking good. Congrats! I also like her new eyes, those look really nice! Billy Thanks for sharing my excitement. Thanks, I am happy you like her eyes, twin-snow did a great work with the metallic touch. It looks like from your pics that she was wrapped in bubble wrap and packing peanuts but I have to ask... was the head wrapped in newspaper? I once got a doll that someone had stupidly wrapped up in newspaper and the newspaper ink had lightly stained the doll. Had to clean that up. That's what your pics remind me of even though I don't see newspaper anywhere. Thank God no newspaper :S they were clearly finger stains. Either she touched her with dirty hands, or the bag she used to pack her use to contain something dark coloured in it. I'm glad you finally got your Saber! I can tell everyone was very excited about her arrival. Nice eyes you had made for her. Now you just need to swap the red hair ribbon for a blue one. That's a bummer about the staining. If it's not too close to the face paint you can probably get the rest of the stains out with some benzoyl peroxide. Thanks Scripple. It's only natural to be excited over her arrival, Saber has always been one of the top priorities on Dollfie Dreamers wishlists. I already got the blue ribbon :> but I guess I will get a new wig to customise it and keep this one like this since I am also waiting for her red outfit and sword ^^ And again thanks everyone for sharing my joy and my worry.
