i would be really sad if they stopped production of the zihus before i got around to getting her. it's just those darn le's keep bumping her down the list!
I used to own a Narsha... I miss her SO much... going to get her back some day... but probably reshell the character into Zihu. I love how realistic she looks! I miss this girlie... Oh, does anyone know... did Gu Mi Jung make Banji too? She looks exactly like Narsha just tiny size haha.
While I have never seen Banji credited to Gu Mi Jung, I think she must be! Or maybe she is a reduction of Narsha. Someplace there is a comparison of Narsha and Banji where they are sized to the same height. They look identical!
I owned one, they are like exactly the same... just different size. Darling little thing but TINY. BUT, to stay on topic... I lost (almost) all the old pictures of my old dollie and I'm so sad... but just found this other one. Very crappy but it's the only other one I have.
I think Narsha came first. But I could be wrong! update: I found this news release about Banji in old news in January 2006. http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...ore-5-7inch-Elf-Elly-Dolls-!!&highlight=Banji I bought my Narsha in June 2005.
Inserting a picture of Suzuki, my Zihu, who is a priestess-magican in another galaxy, in a non-define time (my dolls never have a very detailed background... ^_^): [/URL]Suzuki by blablette1, on Flickr[/IMG]
Wow, Blablette, she is stunning! Lovelovelove her! Thanks for the info, Nancy. I had a banji once, but she was too tiny and stick-like for me. Then I saw Narsha and was like 'ah ha'; The tiny girl I liked was in a size more suited for me.
Wow, Suzuki is very cool. Nancy, I think Banji is a scaled-down version. I seem to recall a comparison that enlarged Banji, and she was pretty identical to Narsha. I'm not sure I've shared my Hana before, at least not in a long time. She's been here since 2006, but she got a new faceup and wig recently. HanagreenBJDC by clochette62, on Flickr
Dollmore came out with a new Narsha... (http://www.dollmore.net/shop/step1.php?number=13155) and OMG... I am SO tempted... I really want a Zihu though... but this one... soooo tempting... >_<
I just saw it. I LOVE it so much!!!! If I wasn't going to Dollism I would so find a way to get it. I would be happy with just the outfit!! I'm really in the mood for another Narsha, or like sized doll though. I've pretty much decided I want some kind of hybrid with the Narsha body someday.
I thought I wanted Zihu over Narsha but man... she still has such a hold of my heart... I JUST got Mokashura and ... I really shouldn't... but but but.. birthday... Christmas... gimmeeeeee lol
I loved Zihu myself, but after owning one I realized Narsha fits better with my group. They are equally beautiful to me though. But that LE Narsha....damn. It doesn't even look like the same doll. I've had the idea to mod mine, but I'm afraid of ruining it. I might try for a second head to see if I like what I would do...BUT that would be a project for coming years XD
Lol.. that LE Narsha has tempted me too... I've been wanting Zihu... never though Narsha can be like that.. totally awesome what they did with the LE version.
Yeah I keep looking at owner pictures and trying to decide which I want... it's such a hard choice, they are both so beautiful in their own way! I used to own a Narsha though and looovvveeedddd her... and want to replace her character... Thinking I should replace her into a Narsha again since it's what I know and love. I have no experience with Zihu. Though I'm sure by the time i have the money the LE will be gone... only 3 left!!! x-x
My only problem with Zihu was the eyes were too small. It was my transition doll between a Leeke D Bebe and a Dollmore Pado - and both of them have giant eyes. Zihu was perfect but the eyes are tiny, it just didn't work. Narsha's eyes border on too small (seriously, Bebe's eyes are giant) but are large enough that I think it's ok.
