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. ...soooooo....I cannot figure out why I don't get any emails alerting me to replies on DOA. Have tried all sorts to get it to work, but it means I have been missing out on a lot:(

      @sahoma - Ah. ok, thanks for clearing that up and posting the pics. Gosh, Eva works on the Supia body.:thumbup
      The 1.2 body is amazing too.

    2. I've got the same problem with DoA alerts. I just have to check every once in a while on the forum list. It's really annoying because sometimes I miss pages and pages, and it's impossible to catch up :( @StrontiumDog

    3. @IngieBee - I'm sorry to hear you are in the same boat with regard to alerts, but you have made me feel better knowing it's not just me:lol:

    4. The neck is too short, but that's an easy fix with a neck donut ^^

    5. @sahoma - thanks for that information.:thumbup

      Just giving this thread a friendly bump.
      Has anyone heard or seen anything more about the Narae N60 re-make head for the fusion body?:roll:

    6. Hello fellow Bimong lovers :whee: I regret that I cannot help with the last posted question but as I've been taking time to work on and enjoy some of my very old dolls more again, I wanted to share my Bimong Narin N611 (hybrid) and see what everyone is up to these days with their large Bimong dollies. :hug:

    9. Hi, thought I'd update with some news since Bimong has not posted about it: You can order a Narae on the fusion 58 body fullsets currently! I have messaged Bimong on Instagram for three consecutive Decembers now beause I regretted missing the single preorder in 2020, and this year, he finally responded that he is accepting orders. I already placed and paid my order for a 58cm fusion body with a N60S head. A christmas gift to self!

      He said production time is 3-5 months. This time he does not sell bodies separately, only full dolls. This time he only accepts orders through messages (I placed mine on Instagram), not through website. There is a picture of the new N60S head from August 18 on his instagram page, I reckon that's what I'll be getting. I'm not sure if Eva is available as a head option this time as I did not ask, but he did also post a picture of Eva's reworked master sculpt so I'd imagine she can be bought too.

      I asked if the body is the same as it was in 2020, and he told me that only knee joints and hip joints have been improved, but it's probably more poseability-related modifications than those that would affect the appearance.

      Thought someone might find this useful since there is so far no public post from him letting us know that he's selling them again. :)

    10. @vauhtikatti - thank you for posting this...it's so helpful and a great heads up!!:dance
      Congratulations on placing your order too...very exciting.

      It sounds like it's worth messaging Bimong and asking some questions then. Ideally a Narae N610 RM is what I would go for, but right now the Narin Elf is perfect for my plans.

      *dashes of to post some questions*

    12. *pull yourself together man!*
      Wow, Bimong is so lovely to deal with. Yep, ordered my Elf boy as a full set in new tan with jointed hands too.

      @vauhtikatti - thank you again for posting about your order. I have been checking his Instagram and didn't think to just ask, so your message prompted me and now I have my boy under way:aeyepop:.

    14. Yay @StrontiumDog congrats for your new boy, glad if I could help! Yup, some hasty buying decisions were definitely made here too this week... *ahem*. And yes, I agree, Bimong is always such pleasant to deal with!
       
      #514 vauhtikatti, Dec 12, 2022
    15. @nancy_schroeder_ca - do you need encouragement?:wiggle

      @vauhtikatti - thank you...you did help a lot. I had been saving for an Iplehouse Raffine in some form, but she didn't get released this event, so, Narin Elf won.
      Bimong, chatted a bit ( over messages )...bought my first little Narae from him almost 18 years ago and he seemed to remember her:aeyepop:

      ...oh and it sounds like the Narin Fusion body is having similar updates to it's female counterpart. Hip/pelvis and knee work. Bimong said he will post process pictures for us.
       
      #515 StrontiumDog, Dec 12, 2022
    16. @vauhtikatti and @StrontiumDog - thank you both for your updates, i hadn't seen anything about the 1/3 size in a while, so it was the nudge i needed to ask him about a Narae :) he really is so kind and fast to respond :aangel:

      The new Narae, she can join my male version, here is a bit of doll tax of him. Maybe one day i can get one of the Narin bodies, but it would take some modding to work. so he is on a DZ B-60.

    17. So, I am entering this thread for the first time, shouting, "Why on earth did I not pay attention to Bimong earlier??" I feel like I've known about Bimong and the Narae/Narin sculpts ever since I joined the hobby in 2009, but somehow I never got around to looking at his dolls in any detail. Yesterday I was browsing the MP, randomly checked out a Bimong doll for sale... and realized immediately that I was looking at an extraordinary doll body. Which led me down to the website and Instagram... and oh, boy. I've never fallen so hard for any company/sculptor since I fell in love with Dollstown back when I was a BJD newbie.

      I want a 1/3 Bimong doll. The heads are beautiful. But more than the heads I want at least one of those bodies, which look amazing and so posable. I've been wanting to update some bodies in my current doll crew, and I'm gonna check if 58cm Narae and 65cm Narin have hybrid potential. Seriously, this discovery is threatening to alter my already-made doll plans for this year... but I don't mind! Time to stalk the IG and see when Bimong opens preorders next.

    18. ...*been away for far too long*
      I am not making my BJD projects/play very public these days, but am still enjoying what I do.

      @Grimalkin - wow! what an unique Narin you have. Those white tattoos(?) are intriguing. The metallic shimmer to his face and hair adds to his look - wonderful:thumbup

      @vauhtikatti - have you, or anyone else heard or seen anything about the big Narin and Narae updates?
      I follow Bimomg on Instagram ( but am not on Facebook ) and haven't been aware of any news. Thought I would ask here just in case and then check with him if no one knows anything.

    19. I contacted Bimong through Instagram back in January and asked if any of his 1/3 dolls were available. Bimong told me Narae58 fusion and Narin68 fusion could be preordered as full dolls, so I went ahead and ordered Narin68 from him. This was all done through Instagram DMs and I paid by PayPal. These dolls weren't advertised at all, I found out by asking Bimong directly.

      Bimong gave me a lead time of 6 months, so I checked in with him in July. I understand that he wanted to redesign Narin68 fusion based off the existing Narin65 fusion, but this redesign was delayed. He gave me an updated lead time - shipping by end of this year. He offered me a refund because of this delay, but I'd like to receive Narin, so I opted to wait. I'm going to check in with him again in late Oct/early Nov.

      I don't know if you can still preorder the 1/3 dolls at this stage. Worth asking Bimong directly about it.

    20. @aihre - thank you for the information
      I too am happy to wait, but the extra time might mean me ordering a Narae as well!
      Bimong is usually very good at posting pictures of his works and upgrades, so I did wonder if he had managed to do anything on the SD sized versions at all.
