Company History

Angel Region, also known as Neo-AngelRegion and abbreivated to AR or NAR, is a Korean ball-jointed doll company now part of the Soom Empire. The company was founded in 2002, and was taken over by Soom and it's name changed to Neo-AngelRegion. They carry SD-size, MSD-sized and tiny dolls, as well as eyes, shoes, wigs and clothing.

Doll Lines

All dolls come with eyes and a wig, and custom make-up can be ordered. It's not possible to order heads and bodies seperatly, although there has been a clear-out sale in 2009 when left-over heads and other parts could be ordered. Untill recently spare hands were sold in the 'Parts' section but that seems to have been taken down on the site. The 'Sale' section still sells a limited quantity of doll-parts, including (non)face-upped heads.

Fair

  • 58 cm
  • $475 not including make-up

There are 5 different head molds for Neo-AngelRegion's SD-sized line that can be ordered as either male or female. Those molds are Aida, Diana, Elly, Kai and Nell. A limited girl mold, Ire, was only available in a fullset, and the male sculpt Warrick has been discontinued. Warrick was sculpted by Cereal Killer, who also worked for Custom House.

Little Fair (LF)

  • 44 cm boys, 43 cm girls
  • $475 not including make-up

The Little Fair line carries 8 different headmolds, available with a boy or a girl body. They are called Ami, Angelica, Bada, Cien, Cosette, Dana, Jade and Ren. Another Little Fair mold, Seio, is only available in the 'Platina Angel' section, and only as a fullset. The sculpts Daniel and Luna have been discontinued long ago, and were considered first version of resp. Dana and Cien. Angelica and Cosette were sculpted by NotDollLab.

Little Genie (LG)

  • 10 cm
  • $175 not including make-up
  • Launched in 2005

There used to be a variety of Little Genie's, but the line was closed and now NAR only carries one standard mold, Risi. Risi's head is made by Soom Workshop according to the site, but the original Little Genie's were sculpted by Elfdoll's Rainman. Another Little Genie sculpt, Zitsi, is available as a fullset only.

The discontinued Little Genie molds were called Edward, Lilica and Mini Ren (not complete).

Limiteds and Present heads

NAR sells a variety of limited sets, mainly for Little Fair. The biggest limited line is Glory Angels, a gothic full-set version of all Little Fair molds (except Seio) in both boy and girl versions. 'Present' heads were also given away with purchace for a limited time, and were close-eyed versions of various Little Fair molds. Dreaming versions were also available, and were used for i.e. Prode of Joker Ren.

Tanned-skin versions of both Fair lines have only been up for sale a couple of times, and it is very unclear on when and if they restock. White-skinned version were also limited, but now some dolls are available only in 'Milky White'.

All limiteds are sold under the 'Platina Angels' section.

Past doll services

These are some of the past doll services that AR used to offer.

No Makeup Kit (NMK): In the past, Fair and Little Fair dolls were sold with a set of clothing, pre-set makeup, eyes and a wig. To obtain a blank and nude doll, one could buy an NMK with only the nude doll, a wig and a pair of eyes. Now, both standard Fair lines are sold like this. No Assembly Kit: This was the same as the NMK's, only the doll would come unstrung. 'Only for You (OFY)': customers could assemble their own fullset doll thourgh the website, choosing from varios sculpts, wigs, eyes, shoes, clothes and custom makeup.

Body types and innovation

Fair and Little Fair only have two body lines; male and female. Their bodies are jointed at 10 places and they have a waist cap with a rig to more easily let the body bend over. They do not have double joints or magnetic headcaps, except Little Fair Seio who has magnets in the back of his head, and a cross-shaped groove for the S-hook.
