Darak Doll 40cm Mini Discussion Part 1

    1. :O Clothes!! Zaida is perfect for her and she does look as fantastic in clothes as she looks without! I love the matching eyes and ribbon, so beautiful!

      I wanted to ask, do you know if darak-i feet fit into shoes made for minifee, or other msd for that matter? I currently have 4 dolls and 0 pairs of shoes because I only want shoes that fit well - but have none to try... Any help would be appreciated <3

      I agree about Nissa too! A more mature, wise and sexy look :P

    2. Thank you Kamia! ^_^ and you have noticed the ribbon that matches her eyes!!!! ^_^

      I haven't tried shoes on her feet yet, but I'll have a look these days and tell you, I promise! ;-) Our lovelies need shoewear!
       
      #142 Blablette, Mar 24, 2015
    3. Yes! I am quite terrible not owning a single pair of dolly shoes >.< I'm too picky I think, and like irl, too scared the shoes won't fit!

      I love how flexible these girls are, Kestrel can lie on her tummy >.< So cute!

      And I also love the hands, how they don't have that extra joint... I feel they look much more dainty :D

    4. Awww, Kamia, I still haven't looked for the shoes, but I finally managed to make a collage from picutres of the box my Remy came in:

    5. I'm sooo jealous >.< I wish just one of my three darak-i girls could have that box! I was meant to get the event pillow too, but my girls didn't come with any but Lee tells me they are sending me two at the moment :D

      I am so tempted to get the box whilst I can from their website, but.... it's just a box.. right??? Arghh. Sorry - a little inner struggle there!

      Anyway, here's a pic of them together, looking as thick as thieves!

    6. Aww, your two girls seem to have some mischief in storage!!!! ^_^

      Yes, the box is still a box, but what box!!! ;-)
      They forgot to include the eyes in my order, and will when I order again (which I'll eventually do, haha!).
      I'm happy they send you the pillows!
       
      #146 Blablette, Mar 29, 2015
    7. Yes! I feel they are plotting! (Probably ways to buy shoes >.<)

      [​IMG]Secrets by kamiakeller, on Flickr

      I saw a girl on flickr using a darak-i body with an unoa head which is a very pretty hybrid. I'm sure more people in the future will look to Darak-i for their lovely bodies :) Especially with the variation on bust sizes being so proportionate, and being able to fit into minifee stuff.

      Apparently my pillows have been shipped, I look forward to it :D
       
      #147 kamia, Apr 1, 2015
    8. Yay for your pillows!

      For she shoes, I've checked some shoes that fit my MNF and Unoa, and they fit perfectly the Darak feet. (MSD type shoes are too big, as they are too bog on the unoa etc.). So whaterver fits MNF or Unoas will fit Darak.

      Edit with a pic of Zaïda, being lovely as ever...

    9. Ah she is so lovely. That top (or dress) really suits her - all those colours!

      Thank you so much on the shoe info! I'm asking for some shoes for my birthday, they seem like they'll fit... I hope they do!

      [​IMG]Golden Girl by kamiakeller, on Flickr

      Here's Kestrel in Nissa's corset. The corset is from Raouken's minifee range. They fit both the small bust and medium bust of Darak-i really well.

      Still no pillows, but I guess it's been Easter so European post will have been suspended for a bit...

    10. This is my Semy, she just needs a makeover soon I think, since I'm not bonding with her too well anymore, so I'll change her look when I get time for it ^^'

    11. I love changing up a doll's look. I hope you find something right for your Semy :) I love her different coloured eyes!
      I'm quite pleased with my MSD gang at the moment as I bought a huge amount of clothes second hand and just trying the different things on them is so exciting, these Darak-i girls are versatile.

    12. Nii-San your Semy is adorable, and I agree with kamia, makeovers are fun and indeed a part of the hobby! ^_^ I hope you'll find new things to pamper her!

      kamia your group is lovely, they all look happy in their new gear!
       
      #152 Blablette, Apr 27, 2015
    13. Thank you Blablette.

      I was swapping wigs around, and tried Nissa (Hera) in the blonde wig my DC Queena usually wears and she looks kinda cool :P This girl doesn't get enough love, but she's so pretty ^_^

      [​IMG]Darak-i Hera by kamiakeller, on Flickr

      I love these girls' faces so much >.<
      [MENTION=54518]Blablette[/MENTION], how's Zaida? I'm getting some shoes for my birthday (doll shoes) finally (!), I'm looking forward to trying them on these girls. Here's hoping they fit!
       
      #153 kamia, May 3, 2015
    14. Yay for doll shoes! (when is your birthday?, I'm asking because mine is in May ^_^) I agree the Darak girls are all so pretty! I will try some wig swapping with Zaïda maybe, but I really like her in her mint one, but I'll have a look for fun. I still haven't changed her clothes, maybe it's my secret wish for Spring to be more present and warm... Here is Zaïda in her usual gear, with the same backdrop as usual, but when weather improves, I'll take her outside a shooting:

    15. My birthday is the 15th! When is yours?? (P.S. May is the best month :P) I'm not sure if they'll fit though... I picked them and they are currently in their box on my fiancé's desk waiting for the 15th - drives me insane!

      Zaida looks so cute in that outfit. She has such a chilled out look. That wig does really suit her, I can see why you haven't tried others! I don't know if I've said it before but I love the way you put freckles on her neck, it looks so real.

      Here is Semy (Kestrel) wearing the same wig as Nissa above. I love comparing these two girls' faces. I feel they wear this wig quite differently! I made a Lullaby Poem Wig order recently so they'll both be trying LOADS of wigs soon (I hope!).

    16. Yay for May birthdays, mine is the 28th! ^_^

      Thank you for the compliments for Zaïda's faceup (and neckup lol), I was in the mood to expand the freckly goodness.

      Kestrel looks so sweet in that short blond wig, and the fibre of that wig looks so soft, too. Both your girls wear this wig differently indeed, but they wear it well, both of them. ^_^

      Edit with a pic of Zaïda outside: ^_^

    17. Ahh almost exactly two weeks after mine! The only problem is I have exams all next week D: (Always a problem with having a Birthday in May... always exams D:)

      Zaida looks lovely outside! I wish I had a garden to take mine out into. (I'm too worried about them to take them into a public outdoor spot.) She does look at home there among the greenery, that scarf looks so cool too! She is definitely pulling off a very cool look there!

      I wanted to show a pic of Semy (Kestrel) in a dark wig, she really pulls it off with her blue eyes! My friend did the styling on the wig :) I love her bodyblushing so much!

      [​IMG]Darak-i Semy by Kamia Keller, on Flickr

      I also have a question - do you ever have a problem with the double joint in the arm? Sometimes I really have to angle it correctly to make it reach the double jointed pose (hope that makes sense to you, I'm not sure my explanation was clear!).
       
      #157 kamia, May 12, 2015
    18. Aww, too bad whith the exams, such a pain in the neck!!!! Well I wish you anyway already a happy birthday, as I don't know if I'm on the internet tomorrow. ^_^

      When I go outside it's downstairs of our appartment block. I just hope that I don't freak out the neighbours... "oh look that crazy woman and her dolls...", but sometimes I take my dolls with me to different places, I got more confident, even if I keep dolly photography discreet. ^_^ What helps is that often my daughters are around, too, and people just assume my dolls are their "barbies". ;-)

      I don't have any problems with the elbow joints, but I see what you mean, I have other dolls with elbow double joints, and they sometimes pop out in weird ways... but not with my Darak.
       
      #158 Blablette, May 14, 2015
    19. Thank you Blablette for the Birthday wishes! <3

      It sounds fun taking the dolls out. One day I will work up the courage to do it, but first I'd like to try it in a safe spot. We have some particularly rude 16 year olds and I used to work at their school so I really don't want to be subject to any attention from them!

      Yeah it's just on one arm, I find it hard to make it do the second half of the movement sometimes, I feel there should be a pattern, but I haven't spotted one yet.

      I ordered lots of Lullaby Poem wigs recently and I took some pictures with Semy. (I really love changing wigs)

    20. i have 2 Darak Dolld - I have a Dark Dodo 5yosd size and Brad 45 cm their only boy) and so happy with them. The resin is superb, they pose very nicely, except for the wrist that is not very mobile.
      They ship very quickly and offer Layaway but not on the website you need to contact them directly.
      They reply to email very quickly too.
      Give it a go, there is also a few body review on you tube
