Haru Casting Mini Dolls - Part 2

Uhm.. so, i sent my order on Sept.1. Last week, i asked Haru if he received my order form. All he said was that i needed to switch my IG profile to public. Which i did immediately after he told me. I kinda forgot about it (public IG profile) in my excitement. But i still haven't received any email from Haru. Should i be ask him again about it?

 

@ThatiRosen Let us know if you reach out please. I'm wondering if I should too, but I don't want to bother Haru too much. He is quite a busy guy and he deserves to get to things at his own pace!

 

Honestly I think it's okay to send a short message - something like I just made my profile public, I apologize for not doing it before, I forgot to.

I did something like that. I had forgotten to make my personal/knitting Instagram public because I thought it already was, and he messaged me on my doll one to let me know. So after I made it public, I messaged him on both, with the first one saying 'this is my personal/knitting Instagram - I'm sorry it wasn't public before!' And then on my doll one I messaged saying that I made my personal one public.

I left the messages short and simple and just a couple days later he got back to me.

 

I actually did the same thing. I messaged him informing i just made my IG profile public. But i still haven't received my order confirmation yet.

 

I believe historically, he takes a while to send out order confirmations. But I wouldn't worry about it too much, unless its past Sept 30th and you still haven't heard anything.

 

Thanks for adding this! I’ve never ordered a doll directly from him, or using an email process like this, so I‘m not really sure what his processes realistically look like time wise! And I’m sure he’s got a LOT of work cut out with how popular his dolls have become!

 

Hi!

For those of you who have harucasting dolls, how would you rate their posing? Any lingering prevalent issues/flaws with the design?

Considering getting a smiling Maji but on the fence!

Thanks

 

Only one thing that comes in mind is that my E-Minor wants to pull her left foot next to right foot so that it's a bit difficult to stand. Don't know for sure if that's becouse of stringing or something like that but I've not tried to suede her yet. Otherwise her posing is great.

 

I ordered my Maji on 16/09 and received his email on 22/09 so around 4 business days. He said he had been busy with other casting orders. I guess that's why after I confirmed my payment that he hasn't given me any update yet.
If anyone hasn't got any emails from him by now, probably should send a short email to ask him.

 

Thats what i'm worried about. Is it [email protected] or [email protected]?

 

both are legit and the same. I used [email protected] but still get a reply

 

Stupid question probably, but as long as I put my order in before 30.Septemer it is alright yes?
Or do I need to make sure I order early enough that harucasting has send the confirmation and I paid before end of 30.9?

 

I think you can order on the last day too. Just make sure all demands in the form are met so he can approve it faster. I just got his confirmation for payment today.

 

I sent my order in on Sept 2 but didn't get a final confirmation until today, Sept 27. I reached out to Haru on Instagram Sept 24 asking if he got my email and he had missed it, so definitely reach out if you haven't heard back by now! He's got a lot of orders this time around, I'm sure, and he's a busy guy. He's so friendly and sweet about fixing issues too.
Now I can officially say I have Wind and Smile Maji on preorder~!

 

I put in my order for Maji
Now only to wait for the confirmation

 

Got my confirmation for Wind yesterday! I've never owned a bjd before, but I'm so glad I stumbled on harucasting right when there was a preorder open, I would've been bummed if I'd bumped into it in October and missed out on such a beautiful sculpt--especially since I'm realizing it's tough to find sculpts in darker skin tones and Haru has such a great range. So excited haha.

Has anyone here owned an Eminor before? That's the body Wind uses, and I wanted to see if I could order her some clothes ahead of time. Any suggestions for places to buy or sizes to go for? I'm realizing that there are a ton of specifics for every aspect of the customizing process and absorbing it all over the last month has been slow going lol

 

The way I found clothes for Maji (don't have her yet, I got in on the current preorder) is checking Instagram and finding other users who have her, some of those users make and sell clothes that fit specifically her

Beyond that, what I've done is take her measurements (I think he has listed measurements for all/most his dolls in his saved video things, whatever Instagram calls those haha) and make just a general, probably not so flattering, sweater dress so my doll won't have to live nude when I recieve her haha

 

The Eminor body fits in most clothing made for slim-minis or Minifees. Dresses will run shorter on her, because she’s taller than a Minifee, and bottoms will need to run a bit large or be made with stretchy material because her booty and hips are bigger. But in general most of my dolls can share all the clothing I’ve bought in slim mini or Minifee size over the years.

 

I only recently started using instagram with anything close to regularity, so its been kind if mystifying to me, lol. Is there a way people usually tag sales posts for particular dolls? My hand sewing leaves a lot to be desired so the likelihood of me making clothes from scratch is pretty slim haha

I'll keep that in mind about the minifees! I havent looked at things in that size range so I'll have to start

 

If you want perfectly fit one. Haru often tags people who made clothes for his doll on his stories and posts. I've just ordered handmade woollen clothes for my Maji from one of his friends when I found out the person is living in my city
