Dollmore Narsha and Friends Discussion Part 2

I ordered Narsha but didn't pay extra for sanding the seams. Now I wonder if I made a mistake? Has anyone else gotten her without sanded seams? and what did you think? Is it worth $65?

scotty

 

I bought my Narsha on site at the Austin show many years back, I didn't have to pre-order her. She's one of the black haired limited girls in French resin. I believe those girls came already sanded, I didn't have to pay extra for it (of course, that was 2006...).

Gardenofdolls, I'll be at the show, I can make sure I bring my girl I haven't gotten a chance to take pics of her since Pam re-did her faceup, so it will be a good opportunity.

 

I'm fairly sure mine has seams, and even if not, I have plenty of DM resin with seams and they aren't a thing. I've seen way worse. Definitely don't worry about it!

 

scotty, my two Narshas have seams, but they are barely worth mentioning. The only one of my Dollmore dolls who came with big seams (in his legs) was my Alex. I'm considering asking for seam sanding when I place my order for Alexia, but for Narsha (or Zaoll or Theo) I wouldn't think it necessary.

 

Thanks to clochette, VampireAngel13 and Sigune for your answers about seam sanding. It sounds like I don't have to worry about it!

 

i've been away for a few days so i'm a bit lat replying, but i have a deardoll and a narsha and i ordered both without the sanded seams. i figured since i was doing their face ups myself i could sand the seams too, but they didn't need it. the seams aren't any more noticeable than on any other doll i have so personally i wouldn't pay the extra.

 

Thanks auntbear. I appreciate you all taking the time to answer me.

 

I ordered my Zihu without the option of sanded seams and I was glad I did because he didn't even need it There were barely any obnoxious seams. It was very clean.

 

Hi everybody! Narsha is on my wish list, so I just thought I'd poke my head in here and look at all the lovely owner photos. All of you have some really gorgeous dolls!

Also, this may be the wrong place to ask, but can anyone tell me if Dollmore Dear Doll is on-topic for DoA? I can't find a discussion for it, and obviously can't check the wiki right now. Thanks!

 

there is a discussion thread it's just really dead. here's the link but looking at it i can see no one has posted to it for over a year. not sure why, they are really cute dolls. if you revive it i'll pop over and join you

 

Thank you! I haven't got a Dear Doll yet... Narsha and Dear Doll Shabee are in the plans for 2014 (self-birthday-gift if I can swing it). i was just curious to know if Dear Doll was on topic, and if anyone else has one. I will check out that thread, though and probably just post a hello over there to see who else we can get to respond.

 

she is i have a narsha friend shabee and a dear doll shabee, my dear doll is in line for a new faceup since she is one of my oldest dolls and my first faceups, but the sculpt is really lovely on both sizes.

 

I love Shabee in both the Narsha Friend size and the Dear Doll size, but it was sweet little Dear Shabee that really stole my heart. I want a girl Narsha and a girl Shabee...they are perfect for two of my characters. I'd love to see a photo of your Shabees some time.

 

shabee stole my heart too and turned out to be a surprisingly versatile sculpt. here she is in the narsha size as ellyce

ellyce by onebluestocking, on Flickr. i think she pulls off the more mature look of the larger body quite well. they actually use the exact same head for both bodies, which i found surprising. it makes the head a little big at the back of the neck on the dear doll body (which is covered by the hair) but the change in proportions helps makes the two sizes look different ages.

 

She's really cute! And she does look older than your Talia (I just saw Talia in the other thread). Wow...that's really interesting that it's the exact same head sculpt on both bodies. I should've guessed that, considering they're listed as wearing the same wig. The faceups on the Dollmore site do make them look different, though, and Narsha Friend Shabee does look older than Dear Shabee. It's okay that the head seems bigger on the Dear Doll body, in my opinion, as babies' heads are proportionally bigger in relation to their bodies. Maybe that is why Narsha Friend Shabee looks older.

While I do adore Shabee very much, my planned doll in this size is going to be a girl Narsha.

 

narshas are lovely too, there are lots of them on this thread. as well as zihus which is the one i want next

 

Howdy folks! I haven't had time to share my Shabee much. She went out to an artist and got a new face up. She was back just in time for Christmas. I really do love this very child like sculpt.

 

Ahhh, I've seen that sweet girl before! She's gorgeous, I love her!

 

she's gorgeous! love her new look!

 

Thank you Opal! My Shabee has been all over, from flickr to FB.

Auntbear, your ellyce is gorgeous too!! Is that a default faceup?
