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. @malvinas wow, I'm in love with her makeup details!
       
    2. I managed to snag the Narin 45 boy and I'm crying. I had been stalking him since August and I couldn't stop thinking about it, and it actually happened. It will be my first Bimong. I planned on trying to put a minifee boy head on it, but it might be too big xD Either way, I love him. and I have no idea what fits lol.

    3. Congratulations! I love Bimong's dolls!
       
    4. Lucky you. He's a handsome fellow and I hope he gets to you safely and quickly.

      I'm in a bit of a quandary. I love the 38cm fusion body and the 38cm Chuu's are still in stock in the colour I want but I'm not super into the face sculpt. I don't know when the next lot of 38cm fusion Narae - which is the headsculpt I do want - will come out. So do I wait or do I get the set with a headsculpt I don't care for and just sell that?
       
    5. Why not DM Bimong on Instagram? He might even have a Narae head or could tell you when he'll release on with a Narae head.
       
    6. I don't really Instagram so I didn't know I could do that
       
    7. I don't post on Instagram. I follow a number of artists and use the DM feature.

    8. Most of my bimong dolls were purchased from him via Instagram DM. I've contacted him on a few occasions asking when a specific doll or part will be in stock and almost every time he says something along the lines of "hold on let me check" and a few minutes later I get a list of what options he has available. That doesn't ALWAYS work. Sometimes he doesn't have what I ask about available but 3 out of 4 times he has. He's super friendly always though!

    9. Hello! I wasn't able to locate this information so I was hoping someone reading this forum might know. Does Dollzone's pink or pink white match (or semi-match) Bimong's New Normal or Classic Normal resin? I have some Narae heads and I'm trying to obtain bodies for them. Minifee and Luts Normal resins are yellow based but Bimong's resin is more pink based. I was hoping to find bodies that leaned more pink. Thanks for your time!
       
    10. Supia normal is a good match to Classic Normal. I'm not sure if Supia has changed their resin color recently. Here is Supis Sujin on a Narae body

      Doll Family H is also a good match to Classic Normal. I'll try to get a picture later. I think Doll Family A uses the same resin as DFH.
       
    11. Thank you for posting the photo! I'll have to look into Supia and Doll Family H.
       
    12. I had the exact same feeling: loving the 38cm body but really not liking the Chuu head, so I just messaged him on insta asking if he planned to have the N40S head or fullset back in stock sometime in the future, since that's the head I wanted. He came back like ten minutes later saying, "I've got one in stock, and it has the fullset option." It was in new normal and my absolute preference would have been tan or milk choco, but I love the body and sculpt so much I figured I'd just go for it rather than miss out lol. This was maybe a week ago. So yeah, definitely just contact him! Super friendly and painless.

      I don't know about DZ pink but I do have a pink white DZ pink bear and I don't think it really lines up with NS skintones--it really is a pink-tinted white skin. I don't physically have any naraes so I can't say anything for sure about their resin, but I'd be kind of surprised if DZ pink white matched, since Narae normal/new normal seems like a much more natural skin tone whereas pink white is very pale.
       
    13. Congratulations! I had made an order for Narin 45 Neo full doll earlier when Bimong first mentioned about pre-order thing. :) I paid final layaway part before Christmas so I hope he will be shipped out at January. I still have some room for a Bimong doll, I want one in tan with upper and middle joint and maybe .. few more. :XD:
       
    14. Thank you, Beldam, for your input on pink resin. Supia changed their "normal" resin tone in April so that won't work either as a match. Someday I'll uncover a decent hybrid. Until then I'll have a lot of heads floating around :lol:

      Took my 401, Key, out for photos the other day. He's just so gorgeous, there's something about Narins that is so hypnotic.

    16. Bimong just confirmed address for my doll, so I'm thinking she'll probably ship between tomorrow and Monday:D. Straight up vibrating with excitement. Hopefully she won't be embroiled in any shipping turmoil lol

    17. Omfg here at last....i'm in love, lads.

      I ordered two heads, the N40s and the N404 14mm SM, but the SM got switcharood with the regular lol, so we'll see how that resolves. But aside from that she's seriously perfect :love

    18. Bimong asked me to check out the filled EMS form but does he send a message after it's been shipped out? Kinda... waiting for it as he asked about checking the information in the filled form on 21st. And it's not been added into any systems yet. If it would be shipped out I'd get some sort of notice. So far all EMS parcels has made me either text message from our local post or notice from UPS.
       
    19. I know in my case I wasnt alerted in any way when it was shipped, but if he sent you a photo of the whole ems label the tracking number is on it, so I just plugged it into 17track and obsessively refreshed it until it finally updated lol.

      In my case he gave me my tracking info on the 13th but it didnt actually ship until around a week later, so it's possible he's trying to get a bunch of packages ready at once and ship them at the same time. Since it's been about a week, if it hasn't shipped yet I'm sure it will very soon.

    20. Finally my boy was shipped out on 7th as I tested the tracking yesterday. I'm exited to see how will he look in the end. Haven't decided his face up yet and I'm a bit nervous about that too. ^^; But yay, definitely exited to waiting to see him. :)
