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.Dismiss Notice

Narin and Narae
Narin and Narae are a line of Slim Mini and 1/3 sized dolls created by the Korean artist Bimong. They have been variously sold by Dollmore, Dollfair, Bimong himself (at his homepage Bimong's Atelier) and D-Storic. Currently (as of 2013) Bimong has regained the rights to his dolls. In 2018 he opened a limited order for some of his dolls.
Narae is the girl line, and Narin is the boy line. According to Bimong, "Narin means a child from the sky and Narae is a word for ‘wings’ in traditional Korean."
Narin and Narae have been cast in both urethane and French resin, and a variety of resin colors. The 4xcm slim minis ("N40") use a faceplate system with over a dozen different interchangeable faceplates being available, in a different range of expressions. The 60cm dolls ("N60") use regular headsculpts, with a similar range of expressions.
