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.

Haru Casting Mini Dolls - Part 2

Feb 17, 2020

    1. I preordered a Maji in neul basic normal on the XO body and I'm so excited!:chibi She will be my first doll from Haru after eyeballing her for so long. I considered getting the smile version but I might just get one in a future preorder:whee:

    3. I got this exact setup/color except smile version! And it's my first Haru doll! I love that :D

    4. It's so hard to decide on a skin color. I am torn between Maji basic normal or Neul basic normal.
      Does anyone have both and could show me a comparison? (best if the dolls are from recent orders)
      I have looked at his color samples, but I have a hard time deciding with just little examples pieces.

      From what I see (or think because of Instagram pictures) neul basic normal is a bit darker and has more pinkish undertone and Maji basic normal a bit yellowish undertone?
       
    5. Mine are a couple years old now, but they are VERY close in color in real life. In most lighting, and with faceups, you wouldn’t even notice the difference.

    6. I've always assumed that Neul BN will eventually end up closer in color to Maji BN as it yellows, since resin is losing red/pink undertones. It also makes me wonder how Maji basic normal will change color over time, since it's already quite yellow to begin with?

      That's amazing! I'm looking forward to a group photo! :XD:I hope you decide to take one when your newly ordered Haru dolls arrive.
      I'm also aiming at ordering a different color with each doll, but I don't know if I will ever have a full collection of Harucasting dolls, with all resin shades :aeyepop: I still have a looong way to go!

    7. For the MSD full sized dolls, I just haven’t been able to order Neul or Modeun yet. Maybe later this year.
      I’m still undecided on if I want to add PS and Ippo to my collection one day.
      I’ll for sure take a group picture once they get here and I give them some temporary light faceups. I just paid their final payment and shipping cost today, and Haru said he’d be mailing them on Monday for me. I’m very excited to bring them home

    8. That is kind of my thinking too. Maybe Neul bn would be the way to go when considering yellowing. Though I think harucasting dolls don't yellow fast.
       
    9. So exciting!! I really was having trouble choosing but my other resin girl has a slight smile so I thought I should get something a little different :XD:

    10. I just got my It's in neulmediumtan and he's so cute!

      Was planning to get Day for this next pre order but since Haru is soon doing a vitiligo batch I think I'll wait.

      I'm ordering E-minor for sure, but trying to decide how tan I want her. She looks amazing in all colors but I seem stuck in the mid range. (I want a doll in every color eventually and am saving my favorite dark shades for someone special.)

      I am debating getting a Geurim in a lighter shade in addition.

      I have a half a dozen dolls that are bald, naked and faceless, so I don't really have the right to order 2 dolls. So maybe just E-minor this time.

      I love the fast turnaround time for his orders. By the time they arrive I'm still excited about them!

      I am nervously checking my email very few hours xD

    12. Did anyone else order a Breeze or another doll from the preorder that’s ending in a few days?

      I got a Breeze in light tan, and also ordered a vitiligo Modeun during that limited preorder at the beginning of the month.

      And my Day with a faceup from the Dec/Jan preorder should be shipping on Friday!

    15. How do you order a regular (non-smiling) Maji? Check IG for notice that some are available?
       
    16. A lot have been popping up on the secondhand market on instagram the last few months To preorder one from Haru, you just have to check his instagram. He just finished a preorder last month so it will probably be a few months before he does another one.

    17. Good to know! Every time I see someone taking pics of their Maji, I just fall in love. :love I was around for the boys, but I've got my heart set on her for my first doll from Harucasting
       
    18. Haru got a preorder open now for his new girl Kkul, as well as Ippo, E-minor, Big Geuru, and Wind.

      I’d been going back and forth between E-minor and Wind to reshell one of my characters as, but finally settled down on E-minor like I’d originally planned bahaha. Anyone here partaking in preorder a doll this go around?

    19. According to his Instagram, due to popular demand a preorder for Maji will be opening in December! I'm very excited to order one, she is just so cute.
       
    20. Bumping to ask if people typically go for both a neutral and a smiling Maji head? Or is one or the other likely enough? About 2 months to go until the preorder and I'm getting very impatient! I'm ready to order now, lol, just take my money!

      In terms of skin colour, I'm thinking mild tan. I'll probably order mine blank and then commission a faceup. Lots of decisions to make while I wait...
