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.

    1. I've got a question to those of you who paid through layaway: did your status update to "paid" after the first or last payment?

    2. After the last payment.

    3. Guys, don't want to say too much since it's not really my place, but I just watched my sis unbox her Narae60, and I really think this bjd girl has the potential to become a future antique doll collectors' much sought after specialty a 100 years from now^^... she is unbelievable. Congrats to all of you who are getting her!

      Now I can hardly wait for the 65 Narin body.

      nancy_schroeder_ca, thank you for confirming about the N609 head!

    4. @Mandagore I would love to see pictures since the one person who's gotten one posted pictures with a dress on(d'oh!) So yeah, excited and waiting to see what that looks like sans clothing. The $100 white resin tax has kept me from getting one since the body is very expensive to begin with.

    5. There's nude pics on doa! The link to the Box opening is on the previous page.

    6. That doesn't sound so good about the current preorders. :eek: I hope Bimong can keep up with the pace he sets for himself. He's just so creative and doing such wonderful work!

      As Mandagore said, my girl is home now, in one piece, which is a little miracle. I had big problems with light, so there aren't as many photos and as good ones as I'd like, but I've made an arrival thread if you'd like to look at them.

      Here's one of the pics:

    7. I personally think he should wait a little longer before opening another pre-order. It would also give him the time to sculpt narin40 before selling him <.<;;;
       
      #287 sahoma, Jan 6, 2017
    8. Thanks, missed that. And now we have another one so plenty to see.....
       
      #288 dollhausen, Jan 7, 2017
    9. I agree. Maybe he wants to give everybody the chance to order their preferred size doll/body as soon as possible. Or he's bubbling over with ideas and creativity. But I assume it would be safe to wait for the next order period when there's more finished to see.

      I just got my 58cm Narae today so thought I would share a photo. Amazing engineering in this body make her super posable. Excuse the hastily made garment from exam gloves as I was at work and had no real fabric. Now I really want the Narin and am sad I missed his preorder but hope to catch the next one.

    11. Neat emergency "outfit"! It is a wonderful body! Mine is choosing eyes and then I need to find something for her to wear for her first pictures!

    12. @Therealwalter I also got my Narae yesterday :celebrate And love the makeshift coverup XD

      Here are a few photos from her photoshoot today. After playing around with the body more, I think I kind of got a hang of it now!

      Bimong really outdone himself. I can't wait to see the new Narae40 bodies as well as the new Narin body!

    15. I am totally bummed that I missed this pre-order, then I saw the price......wow, but the design look amazing! I guess the older 60cm bodies were out dated or were the molds missing?
       
      #295 derilan85, Jan 15, 2017
    16. I find it interesting that it was exactly 10 years from the last availability of the old body. I remember there was a legal dispute between Narin Dolls and Bimong back then. Perhaps he lost the rights to the old body.

    17. That makes sense, this new version is stunning!

    18. Oh Nancy, time is flying!^^

      I remember during the last months of Dollfair's dealership the old Narin60 body was supposed to be re-released with the old body. I had it pre-ordered, and some time later Df dropped out of the picture (2010, methinks?) and I was one of the lucky few who got a near complete refund. Then I remember there was talk that some of the molds had gone missing during the debacle, but it wasn't clear why. And since D-storic's dealership had begun (which ended equally horribly), Bimong had made plans to someday make a new Narin60. I am so happy to see it come true now, and with such a promising new body concept. ...Although I cannot possibly afford him now:(

    19. Have you guys seen on bimong's instagram that the last dolls of the first pre-order are being shipped? :D

    20. I got an email that mine will be shipped tomorrow. I had her on a short layaway and she has a faceup, so I am not surprised that she is one of the last shipped.
