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. Double-post, but it is for a good cause!

      This wasn't an easy task :XD: the sun was not co-operating (there was too much of it). I'll try again on a cloudy day, but for now, this is the best I can do! There are more on Flickr, but I'll post two here.

      The Bimong shades are really close to each other. There is a difference between "D Skin" and "Classic Normal," and it is more clear in person, but it is still subtle. I think that the newer Classic Normal is more intense/slightly darker, though, so the difference might be more noticeable.

      I went ahead and compared the Bimong colors to all my other light-colored pieces, in case that's helpful to anyone someday.

      It is so hard to get accurate colors! For example, Maskcat "White" is actually pinker than the Bimong heads (although just slightly). But I hope these photos will be of some use anyway!

    3. @Beldam - You are so welcome! So glad I could help! I have spent many, many hours scouring Instagram and Flickr for comparisons and aids to hybrids, etc. so I know how important photos can be.

    6. I’ve loved narae for years and years (since 2009 I’ve been actively on and off thinking about getting one ) and think I’m another person finally prompted to push the button with bimong retiring… any tips for how to decide between 38 and 41 narae? I currently have no other 1/4 bjds right now (but there is a mnf in my future I think, so maybe 38 wins there as they’re a more similar height?)

    8. Yes, they are (I believe) exactly the same except the 41cm body has longer legs.

    9. [​IMG] Is from his Instagram and is a pretty good comparison of what they look like side by side.
