Narae/Narin 43/44cm Mini Discussion Part 7

I have the 38cm body with the 3 part torso and I can confirm that they're absolutely fabulous posers with the one minor caveat that you may have to fiddle with the stringing to get them to perform at their best. My 38cm girl is very tightly strung which means getting her to hold poses is a bit more of a battle, even with the silicone rings in the joints, but she's very capable of it.

She's absolutely my best for standing with flat feet. I had her in actual metal armour for a recent convention and it only altered her centre of gravity a little bit

I also have this photograph which is her fake-tying her shoes. Bearing in mind she's got a shirt, gambeson and trousers on, not only did I not have to undress her to get her hip to shift but she's still bending really well

 

Hi, does anyone know if Classic NS resin has any matches with other brand bodies? I have Classic skin Neo SM full doll and I'm debating if I afford to buy a full boy and a girl from Bimong before the final sale ends.

 

He has offered payments on Instagram. That might make it easier.

 

I don't know if this would help as my "Classic Normal" Dandelion head didn't quite match the newer Classic color - but I'm posting anyway, just in case!

Please note that I made an error in the photo - the hand is Doll Legend NS, not WS!

@Crissaegrim OMG she's amazing! That's amazing mobility!

I don't suppose anyone knows which resin tone would look best with FL? >.> I saw an image of the new normal with a recent FL head and the Bimong New Normal was *so pink* in comparison.

 

@marxwyn That's exactly what I need! Thank you! I'm sadly trying to match a more current Iset who's *much* pinker than my older MNF, but I still think the Old tone would be closer and easier to match than the New one. Thank you so much!

 

I have a recent Littlefee and a recent classic normal body. The head is off for a faceup. I'll try to get some pictures tomorrow.

 

OMG thank you all for helping! I feel so humbled by your generosity of time and effort!

 

Does anyone have a picture of the pink resin tone? I want to show someone but I can't find it since he deleted a lot of his posts. I'm trying so hard to afford two dolls, but I just don't think I can. Choosing one is going to be hard. I asked for some special skin tones in DM and he is making me say what they are instead of telling me lol! I think it feels like a 'need to know' thing so he doesn't get overwhelmed. I'm trying to find out what tan shades there are since I never paid close enough attention before

 

I have examples of older "Classic Skin" and "D Skin" (which is a paler version of the Classic skin). It is a pretty typical peach-pink color. I don't have photos of these exact pieces but I can try to take some if you need them.

For tan skin, here are some examples:

I hope this helps!

 

Thank you SO much for the tan comparisons. That's extremely helpful with the Fairyland tan (also nice to see someone using Flickr, I'm trying to go back to it myself). What year is everything from if you don't mind me asking?

And sorry I meant to clarify, I mean the special strawberry milk skin tone. It was pink pink, not natural skin tone. He said he could make it for me I think, but I wanted to just confirm. I forget who was made in it recently - one of the girls.

 

@twylight, i person the Fairyland normal skin looks much pinker than the Bimong classic normal. The classic normal is lighter and more yellow.

 

@Littlebirdzoom - You're welcome! Flickr photo sharing doesn't always work well here, but links work and I just like Flickr's relatively simple interface (even with their new addition of ads).

As far as the years of the tans, the Fairyland hand was from 2022 I believe, and I think I received the headcaps from Bimong in the same year, although he didn't say exactly how old they were.

I can actually help with pink (if it is the same strawberry pink as before)! I found this image in my folder of saved screenshots. I'm not sure if it came from Bimong's instagram or website or from someone else's website/Flickr page (I will take it down later since it doesn't belong to me) but I'm sharing it in case it can help you:

@StellaMarigold omg thank you!! That pink is seriously SO lovely and yes that's the exact one ^_^. Thank you for finding that and showing it to me, I understand if you take it down. I screenshotted the pink so I can reference it.

I think I've settled on getting the boy in the new tan so I can decide to hybrid him later on if I end up not bonding with the head and I just can't resist the pink girl too. Maybe it's time to sell something

 

@marxwyn - Thank you for confirming that about the image! I was pretty sure it was from his Instagram page, but you're right that he deleted quite a few old pictures because there were definitely more - I went back and tried to find them before delving into the folders of my saved images.

The image is credited, so I will leave it up for now (and most likely will forget about removing it anyway haha so it will probably be up indefinitely).

@Littlebirdzoom - Hooray, so glad I could help! I love the "New Tan" color, so I think any doll you choose in that option will look wonderful! And the pink is certainly a charming color! I don't see dolls offered in such unusual colors very often (although if you like them, DoDollsDream also offers lots of lovely fantasy colors for most of her preorders).

 

Yeah, if anyone has backups of his old images please link us an imgur archive or something They were so useful for data reference and nice to look at.

 

@StellaMarigold would you be alright posting a comparison between d skin and classic skin? I have a new tan and new normal girl and am thinking of getting one last one before the end of the preorder, but I can’t parse how d skin might look irl

 

@Beldam - I'll try to take some photos tomorrow! I hope the differences will actually show up! The "D Skin" is in the same color range as Classic Normal, it is just a shade paler.

The heads I have in "Classic Normal" are not quite the current Classic Normal (I purchased a body in that color and later sold it, but I remember that it was a more intense pink-peach color than the head I was trying to match it with) but I hope a comparison might still help.

In the meantime, here are two photos of the Classic Normal head I have with various other resins (note that the Doll Legend hand is actually in "Normal," not "White" resin):
