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.

Darak Doll 40cm Mini Discussion Part 1

Dec 18, 2012

    1. Bumping this up for interest, I just discovered Semy and I am in love... does anyone have her? I'd love to see owner pics!! :)
       
    2. I hope for this thread to become more active since I have fallen in love with Darak dolls recently <3
      So lemme start off by sharing my Remi girl with you all~

      Remi &#9829; by &#65290;lastic, on Flickr


      I don't wish to start spamming you already so if you want to see more photos of my Remi, please visit my flickr.
      Whenever I do new shoots with her, I'll be sure to share with you all here :)
       
    3. She's gorgeous, yeast! That wig looks great on her - is that a Licht wig? I ordered a very similar style for my Remi from them!
       
    4. Yeast, your Remi is SO CUTE!! :D I loved her pics in flickr too. Would love to see more of her! Sounds like she is a pretty well-made doll. Is she more of a slim mini (like minifee) or chunkier (like Volks)? How is Darak as a company-- did you have to wait long for her? Thanks for your advice. :)
       
    5. I'm not yeast, but have some answers for you!

      Here's a comparison picture I took of Remi next to a MNF A-line body - http://www.flickr.com/photos/anya0918/9128549553/ (there are more on my Flickr). Her hips are wider than a MNF, but her shoulders are narrower. Finding clothes that fit is a challenge, especially pants and tighter skirts. I was able to fit her into a Yo-SD-sized top and dress easily (though, the dress is super short, of course!).

      Darak currently doesn't sell internationally, but Nine9Style is a dealer. I waited about a month for Remi from Nine9Style. Here are some pictures of her arrival - http://www.flickr.com/photos/anya0918/sets/72157632809958554/
       
    6. @ Anna:
      Thank you so much for your compliments. She is so precious!!
      Her wig is from Wigwing. There's only one wig that looks hers on Wigwing's website so it shouldn't be hard to spot. :)
      I actually wanted a certain look for her and wanted to do her face-up myself.
      I wasn't sure if I was going to like her default make-up when I was waiting for her but her face-up is really cute and suits her look really nicely.
      I do want to change her face-up a fews months from now though. <3 Still so pretty!


      @ Sylphide:
      Anna's comparison is pretty accurate. (It was quite interesting for me to see the comparison photo too.)
      In her photo, you can see that Remi has narrower shoulders than MNF A-line body.
      However, Darak made extra chest parts so she could be closer to regular MSD sized shoulder measurements.
      Unless I misunderstood them, you can select narrow shoulder chest part or wider shoulder chest part. (and they have different bust sizes too.)
      My Remi has wider shoulders. :)
      She has really thin waist and wider hips which makes it a bit hard to find clothes for her.
      I really love her body and I'm willing to search for clothes that will fit her. Besides, I wanted her to be "leggings girl" so it won't be a big problem. ^^

      Darak was wonderful to order from and it took about a month for her to arrive. All her seams were sanded because they don't like the look of seamlines.
      They are actually taking orders right now on their Korean website. http://darak-i.com/
      I guess if you really want, you can leave them a message there. If you need help, let me know :)
      I'm bilingual in Korean and English so maybe I can be of help.
      Seriously, I think Darak dolls are so beeeeeeautiful and needs more attention.
      I recently ordered their "Ugly Remi" which is a tiny version of Remi. I think they can make really cute sisters <3
       
    7. I wished I have seen the tiny Remy earlier, I missed the ordering period by only one day when I first saw her~ So sad... I wonder if Tiny Remy will be available as basic in the future.
       
    8. @ WinterMonkey:
      It hasn't been too long since the ordering period of Tiny Remi has ended so maybe you could email them or something
      to ask to let you purchase one. They don't have English website which is probably why many people missed out.
      So maybe they'll let you purchase? I think it's worth a try ;)
       
    9. I saw a seller selling Tiny Remy on ebay, they said ordering period till 20th, but I saw it on 19th and it had already ended. So I contacted the seller, but sellerjust simply replied saying, "Sorry, the auction has ended."
       
    10. Thanks Anna for the photo! Remy does appear to be a good bit wider in the hips but since my girls wear dresses most of the time that might not be a problem. I am just so in love with your girl, Yeast!! :)
       
    11. I actually went to mountain with my friends as a summer trip and guess who I brought along with me!

      Unfortunately, I can't post more than one photo at a time in discussions threads so if you want to see more pics, come check my flickr :)
      I'm expecting Tiny Remi to come home soon too! <3


      @ Sylphide: I'm glad you like my girl~!! I've never owned a girl like her before so I'm really loving her too!! :)
       
    12. More Semy!!!! XD I found this on flickr, too cute o.o

    13. Hi all. I've just come across this doll company and I'm really smitten with Remy. Maybe one day she will be added to my waiting list but in the meantime I am content to admire your photos!
       
    14. So, it looks like the company has renamed the sculpts to Remy and Semy (it was Remi and Semi initially). Also, since new molds have been added to the 40cm line, I'm going to change the title of the thread to reflect the change in order to avoid any confusion!
       
    15. Thank you for the explanation Anna. I did wonder why people were spelling the names in two different ways.
       
    16. Just noticed on their English website that doll bodies are $23 - a typo, surely?
       
    17. Oh my, I think I may be in love with Remy and Brad... I think I'll need to hang out here and take a look at some owner photos, I'm glad to see some people already have some of these dolls!
       
    18. Can't believe I forgot to share my favorite photo of my Remy.
      She has her default face-up but I'm planning to wipe her clean and give her a new face-up real soon <3

      It feels so weird typing "Remy" instead of "Remi" @_@!!!
      I already have other dolly plans for November and December but I really want sleeping Remy too.
      Thinking of getting her as my first doll of 2014.
      Or if my will power does not overcome my desires, I might order her earlier.
