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.

Narae and Narin 60cm Discussion part 2.

Nov 16, 2008

    1. I just got a shipping notice for my order! Via email... and Instagram. XD With the holidays, I don't know how long she will take to get here, but I'm glad she's on her way at least. Really looking forward to her. :D
      I hope others get shipping notices soon, too! <3

    2. If I have the time I will post photos. But I don't think it will happen still this year. She'll definitely be stopped by customs and then it can take up to two weeks before I'll get her. And in holiday times like now maybe even longer. :/
      He asked for my Instagram as well, to "give you all information quickly". I don't know wether about shipping or general doll news. As I'm not on Instagram I'll never know! ;)

      I had another email from Bimong with the tracking number too, the day before yesterday. That's two girls on their way, yay! I wonder which will arrive first! And I wonder how many on DoA ordered her?
       
    3. He is asking for you to include your instagram on orders now. I ordered the new Narin 65 boy body and forgot to include it but put it on the paypal payment. He is now following me!

      I ordered two new Narae 60 bodies, one tan and one normal skin. I had them on a short layaway, so I am probably near the end of the line!

    4. My gorgeous Narae body arrived today! She's really phenomenal at posing. <3 I'm getting my pictures together for a box opening, but for now here is my CP El girl on her new body:

      I will have to do some modding to the neck to get her head to fit better, as expected, but I'm delighted with how good she looks on it so far. :)


      @Ophiaca Congratulations on your shipping notice!

      @nancy_schroeder_ca I hope you get a shipping notice soon! I'm looking forward to seeing more of these girls!

    5. Congrats on the arrival @littlegreythings ! Your girl is lovely.

      You mentioned that you'd need to do some modding on the neck for a better fit - is it that the neck is to large or small; or is it the over all shape? Just curious.

      Definitely will be looking forward to box opening pics. I've missed both pre-orders, so I'll be living vicariously for a while.
       
    6. @littlegreythings, congratuations! I'm looking forward to your box opening pics :)
      If you don't mind me asking, I'm curious about her skintone in comparison to Volks? I noticed you have a YoMidi Williams in your bio.
       
    7. I've posted a box opening for the body now. It took me longer than I thought it would to get everything ready!

      https://denofangels.com/threads/bimong-narae-58cm-girl-body-comparisons-img-heavy.733373/

      @mdonline03 Thank you! Regarding her neck, it does fit well enough right now that if I chose, I could probably leave it unmodded. But, I think it is a touch too long (her chin is shallower than the Bimong head) and I may make the neck overall just a little slimmer. But shorter definitely. :)


      @mk13 Thank you! Her skintone is what I would call a pale normal, tending more to the yellow normal, but very pale to me. There is a hint of pink/peach to it, but much less than I am used to with CP dolls. She's a closer match to Volks than CP. I think someone would have an easier time getting a Volks head (or hands...) to match this doll than a CP. My old CP girl (from 2005) only does because her faceup is very pink-toned. ;)

      I posted this comparison picture in the box opening thread, but perhaps it may be useful to post here, as well. Hopefully that's okay.

      I took it in natural light, and the colours are as true as I can get them with my limited photography and editing skills. The Bimong resin looks more pinky here than it appears to me in real life...

    9. Thank you for the comparison photos, @littlegreythings ! I was curious about hybrids, even though I ordered a full doll.
       
    10. Love all the photo's and the information. Very Very helpful !
      I ordered from the 1st pre-order and the 3rd. I can't wait for my Dandelions to arrive ^^ Thanks again littlegreythings ~~
       
    11. @littlegreythings, thank you very much for the comparison pic! It's so funny how much candy you got as part of her order XD
       
    12. I just got a shipping notice from Bimong!!!
      :celebrate

    13. Wonderful, the Naraes are coming in! Please everybody take photos! XD Mine is held by customs, as expected, but I hope to free her this week.
      @littlegreythings Your photos are making me really antsy! Your girls looks so pretty and graceful in that dress.

    14. so..... is the preorder for narin65 closed already? like, before we even know how hes gonna look o_o?
       
    15. Yes. Bimong seems to be taking the Dollshe approach to pre-orders.
      Narae60 was practically complete, but he made further changes AFTER the original sale period. Narae40 was about halfway (maybe even less, since it doesn't seem she's complete now!) and narin65 was "just trust me it'll be good"

    16. @sahoma buaaa thats so scary @A@! well i hope that if they come out well theyll be available for preorder again.......
       
    17. Oh noes, that's a difficult road to go :sorry I loved Narin from the time he was just a Mini boy and only sold within Korea....- but there will be more preorders opening over time, won't there? After we've seen him finished?
      Sorry, I'm afraid I don't quite get it, are there more Narin65 heads available than just the kissing one? (Will older Narin60 heads fit the new body anyway?)

      So far I'll stay with my old Narin609 head on a Spiritdoll Elegance body I suppose...^^
       
    18. There was a second pre-order for narae60, so we can expect there will be more pre-orders in the future for all his dolls!

      I only saw one other narin head for sale at the same time. I think it used to be called Charisma. Surely it is compatible with the new body, but it might be worth asking Bimon directly.
      Hopefully he will make more heads in the future :D
       
    19. Thanks for your answer, Sahoma. Charisma was the monicker for the old Narin609 head. It would be great if it fits, but better ask if Bimong changed something about it in his reissue of the head, you're right.^^
       
    20. I believe he said he was going to do pre-orders for the 60 cm dolls and the 40 cm dolls on alternating months. All the 60 cm heads should fit the new bodies. I did order the new male body on layaway since it isn't even finished yet! I can see why he's going the pre-order route, but hopefully he won't get as bad as Dollshe!

      I bought the N609 Charisma head last year, so the new body is intended for him!.
