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/Narin 43/44cm Mini Discussion Part 7

Apr 9, 2018

    1. @taixonay - Oh, I'm sorry! It is really hard to tell the difference from Bimong's pics. Thank you for correcting me.
       
    2. Edit, never mind I figured it out.
       
    3. @marxwyn I like the 416 v2. I was going to order 2 dolls and that was the face I picked for my 2nd doll. As was mentioned, the differences are the eye crease and the lips. For me, its all about the lips. I like the fuller lips on v2. I still plan to pick up the 416 v2 head later.

      You mentioned you felt the tan was too dark. Are you talking about the light or dark tan? Are you trying to match an existing body?

      I would suggest contacting Bimong on Instagram and asking him if he would offer the N40U. It certainly doesn't hurt to ask .

      @taixonay I volunteered to be an archivist for the Narin40 wiki and I have been researching the older threads, I read there was a problem with the 416 heads but I thought it was the other way around. You have clarified the issue; thank you.

      @Yenna I was wondering if yennaibi was you on Etsy. I see that your 406 is a seamstress and designer like you!

      @luqura and @Yenna I am sorry you are having problems with PayPal. If it won't let you send payment connected to the invoice perhaps you can just send the payment to Bimong without being connected to the invoice.

      @LuckyXIII congrats on ordering your kitty girl! What size bust plate did you get?
       
    4. Oh boy, I thought I was pretty much done with my Narae spree, but after seeing photos and the fact that this is the last chance to order makes me ...... WEAK!:shudder (And I've been wanting a cyborg Narae :love:love:love)
       
    5. First payment sent, going to the bank later to pay for other bills:sigh

    6. I was answering your post about how to do layaway, and then I saw your post that you were able to make your first payment. Congratulations @derilan85!
       
    7. Thanks coleen yea I figured it out I was thinking of replacing my French Tan Narae that I have had since Dollfair was around, she was the first in that colored and she has really aged. I do need to take a updated picture of her along with my Pinky white urethane classic Narae as well. At first I was going to replace that one, but after seeing the tan skin on Bimong's Instagram it was a no brainer.
       
    8. Yes, that's me. She's usually a 404 and 406 is the extra head I have for her (budget solution for someone who couldn't afford two bodies initially). But yes, she got those interests from me, most of my characters have some traits of mine. ^^;

      My payment issue wasn't an invoice problem, but a bank one. I was trying to send the payment from Paypal manually and I was getting a constant error. And apparently the money left my bank account but didn't leave really. =___= I don't even know, I had to contact my bank and have them dissolve the hold they were on. I'll try to make a payment again tomorrow or the day after, but Bimong told me to take my time, so I suppose he will get it when the technology finally allows it. >_>;; I just hope the exchange rate doesn't get worse while I wait for them to solve their errors.
       
    9. Loved reading everyone's comments on ordering your new Narae's. I'm trying not to let it rub off on me. I really like the N416 v2 as well.

      Made a great discovery this morning. My new Narae body has be strung with elastic and not the silicone.
      I think maybe there were too many breakages with the silicone? The new version body is so much better than my 1st version.
      She can stand beautifully.

      Shame we can't buy just the new legs for the 1st version. I would love a new pair.

    10. OK so I am a Narae newbie and have some stupid questions. I think I got a layaway order through and now wonder how payments are made - do they send invoices after first deposit? Can the new body share Unoa clothes? I have patterns figured out for Unoas and hope I can start on stuff for new Narae. I have more questions but I am a little shocked at myself for getting the order in--- the last chance scared me into action.
       
    11. @Yenna I hope everything gets straightened out quickly!

      @Kiwiana that is great your body came strung with elastic! We had the discussion previously and I am not a fan. You could message Bimong on Instagram and ask if he would sell legs. Back in the Dollfair day they used to sell them separately.

      @bajib the newer body is much wider through the hips. Other slim mini patterns such as DollsTown or Kaye Wiggs would be better options.
       
    12. @bajib, He sent me a invoice when I did a layaway.
       
    13. coleen great minds think alike! But not being on instagram I have just gone and asked via the care page at his site. Hope he reads it before the ordering time is up. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
       
    14. Thanks @nancy_schroeder_ca for answering @bajib's question. I didn't mean to ignore that question, but was focused on the Unoa question.

      I have put another body in my shopping cart again today, thinking I would put it on layaway. But, I took it out. I *really* want another but 4 Naraes in 8 months? Is that crazy, or not?
       
    15. I'm sure he will; he is just much faster on Instagram. He sent me a thank you almost immediately after placing my order yesterday!
       
    16. I mean, I've adopted 3 naraes since the beginning of the year, so this may be the wrong place to wonder about the relative sanity of doll purchases @coleen. XD

      Congrats to everyone on their Narins/Naraes! It's nice to see this thread really waking up again. ^^
       
    17. I got the small and normal busts. I don't know if I want a boy or a girl so got two just in case. And I'll have more options. :D
       
    18. Have just heard from Bimong and he is going to make me new legs!!!! There could be a slight color difference though.
      I don't care!! It will be so nice to have both 43cm standing together. Just waiting on the invoice to pay.

      I have bought 2 new Narae's since Jan plus the 2 Dandelion heads and would loved to have bought more.

    19. That's fantastic news, @Kiwiana! How kind of Bimong!
       
    20. Thank you StellaMarigold. He is very kind and super friendly. Have paid the invoice, so now the wait. Well worth waiting for that's for sure. I have asked him to send me my order number.
