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. [MENTION=18866]Verse[/MENTION], thank you so much for posting Bimong's response to your question about full doll release. I have been waiting - what feels like forever - for the re-release of an SD size Narae and/or Narae! I was SO happy, when I first saw the heads..............but then I figured out that at this point, he is only releasing the heads, without a body. I don't really like Hybrids, they never really work out for me. I am very picky about the resin and proportions of head and body matching perfectly, so I would much prefer, to buy head and body together at the same time. Since I saw your post, I decided to just save my money and wait for next year, when hopefully, he will release the full doll! Thanks again for the information!:)
       
    2. Glad I could be of assistance. :) I'm in kind of the same boat - I've been waiting since Bimong cut ties with Dollfair for him to release them in full doll form because I foolishly made the decision to sell my first one, although at the time it seemed like a good decision to make. (French resin tan is a poor choice for a first doll when you don't know how to properly take care of them) I bought a Narin head during the Goodbye Bimong event fearing that the dolls would never be made again but hybriding him has not been successful yet, so now I've just been waiting too.
       
    3. A little bit of Narin spam as I just finished his face-up !
      I received him a few weeks ago (very quickly after ordering !). Its is true that his neck make it difficult to find an hybrid !
      for the time being he shares my Loongsoul 73cm body because the neck is high enough, but I think the body is too mature/toned for his little face !

    4. @Marlequeen it's nice to see another big Bimong boy floating around out there. How is your guy coming along? Did you remedy his body problems and find him something you like better that fits? Has he had any new adventures? I can totally understand how unsettling the soft young faces can be on mature bodies. . . lucky for me I'm pretty fond of that weird aesthetic combo at least sometimes.

      Here's a pretty gross picture of my dear butt-head Kam (Bimong "New Narin 60" on an old resin color Granado first 64cm body, wow that's a mouthful).

      Anybody else still have large Bimong dolls to share?
       
    5. Marlequeen your face-up make all heads alive!

      This theme is so quite... Soon my Charisma left me, but now he can have some photos with his black guard)

    6. Bumping this thread back to life as I'm considering getting the N610 (is it the Charisma head?) but don't know about resin matching or neck specs to hybrid it on another body. Hoping you guys can help!

      I know asking for a body with good posing is almost impossible at this point, so I'd like to ask for something at least remotely decent in standing and sitting xD;

      Any suggestions with Bimong's new resin and all?
       
    7. N609 (Charisma Narin)
      N610 (Mature Narae)

      I have my N610 mature Narae on a new Soom Supergem female body and it works well for now. Soom's resin does vary.

      I am putting my N609 Charisma Narin on an old Soom Supergem male body. The color match is not as good but the new Supergem body has way too short a neck for the Narin head. Even the old body needs a kip in the neck!

      Bimong told me the new 60cm bodies will be available this year.
       
    8. Thank you Nancy! Bimong always says things will be available in the current year though :sweat So I'm not sure if this is it or not. I have a good feeling this year would find a release for the 60's somewhat, I hope its sooner than later. Maybe after he finishes up the Narin40 restorations? Let's hope! :) I think I'll just wait for it then!
       
    9. Yes, I'm waiting on Bimong for permanent bodies! They just get to borrow bodies from other dolls I have for now. I'm still happy I got the heads with the Red_Kun faceups!
       
    10. ...looks like you might not have to wait that much longer...check out Bimongs flickr pics. He has started the engineering for the Narae body!!!
       
    11. Very interesting!
       
    12. There have been a couple more updates on flickr...and I am beyond excited:dance

      I'm finding it just a little tricky to understand the technical sketches and paper model, but if it's even close to how I think it could be...OMG:shudder
       
    13. I am beyond excited too!! <3 :D All the sketches look so professional and legit, that's Bimong for you!
       
    14. I am excited also! I have a beautiful new Narae head on a borrowed Soom body! She wants her OWN body!
       
    15. Seriously...I want the paper doll too.
       
    16. Looks like progress is speeding up! I thought Bimong would be re-sculpting the entire body, but he's just doing modifications I think.

      I'm going to save my money starting now :D
       
    17. I second you on starting to save the pennies Chamillia...

      Hmmmm... the torso looks a little different to the original, but not sure if it's just been modified. Where the upper rib cage area meets the lower torso looks more arched perhaps. How the tops of the legs fit to the hips/pelvis is certainly different...um...the neck looks longer and more slim. Over all I'm loving it!:thumbup
       
    18. Well, there seems to be more progress coming along. It looks like Bimong is making this body to have more pose-ability, just like his 40cm Meronica.

      [​IMG]Narae60 by bimong11, on Flickr

      I don't know how I feel about the two part torso. I usually prefer two parts over one all the time but to me this kinda looks a little too bulky and... weird? I dunno. I'm still gonna get the body for sure, but I'm gonna have to wait and trust Bimong with this. I hope it is later more refined and slender when more progress is done ^^
       
    19. I'm sure he will smooth it out!
       
    20. Hi there Narae and Narin fans, as someone who knows very little about this company and has recently fallen for Narin N609/Charisma, do any of you know why only NS heads can be ordered from the site right now even though there are four resin colors displayed on the page? Are the WS and tan only available at certain periods, or are they maybe retired altogether?
