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.

Napi Darin Discussion

Apr 21, 2008

    1. I found this sculpt on the ndoll/Happydoll website:

      She's called Dalrin on the ndoll site, and Darin on the Napidoll site. I think she's very pretty and unusual, with quite realistic features. However, I haven't seen her in any owner photos, anywhere! Does anybody own one, or know anything about Napidoll? I looked up the old posts on Happydoll/ndoll and saw that they have a questionable customer service record, so maybe that's why there aren't more people who have one, but I'm really curious.

    2. I think the Darin (going with the sculptor's spelling) head looks really nice, very soulful. I like the other two heads on the site as well but I like Darin best.

      There's a Picture Request thread from June of last year asking about resin matches but there are no pictures in it. The person who started it seems to have a Darin head. That's the only Napidoll thread that comes up other than this one. I guess they've sort of stayed under the DoA radar. I wish I knew more about the Napi as a shop. It looks like a person would be better off trying to order directly from them than messing around with ndoll.

    3. idrisfynn why? Is there any problems with ndoll?

    4. VanillaSky, apparently somebody ordered a doll from ndoll a while back and never received it, and couldn't get them to communicate. I'm not sure if there have been any other incidents besides that one, but it's enough to make a person leery...

    5. oh.... thanks, guys! You just saved me from a mistake. I had a dilemma about order from them cause you have to wait for a week to get an answer for you email. Now that's a "no" for sure...

    6. Thanks for your reply, idrisfynn. Darin is definitely my favourite of the three as well. I'd love to see user photos of her, but no luck so far -- and as you say, the Napidoll shop isn't very accessible if you can only read English. Alas!

       
      #6 sylvanus_urban, Apr 22, 2008
    7. Aww, Darin is a ADORABLE, as is Delma... I can't believe these dolls have so completely flown under the radar!

    8. Well, I am now the proud owner of a Napi Darin/Dalrin :D
      I bought her from happydollus.com and there were no problems!

      As for resin match I was told they sell bodies from happydollus that matches her, but right now she's on a Senior Delf girl body.
      It's not a perfect match, but at least it's better than a normal Delf body.

      Here is a picture of her:

    9. Thanks for posting, Armand! These are the first owner photos I've seen of her! Lüné looks very young and ghostly... I hope you post more pictures in the future. I'm glad that Happydoll worked out for you.

    10. You're welcome sylvanus! :) And thank you.
      I don't think anyone else owns this mold, I haven't seen any owner pictures that's for sure.

    13. I've been watching the Dalrin/Darin auctions on eBay--Happydollus has been running them for quite a while now. What a sweet, melancholy face! So glad to see your pictures, Armand, and to get more information about possible body matches.

    14. I just adopted a Dalrin head. Her name is Sheridan and her faceup is by Patti Eacret. She's using my Souldoll Clara's body.
