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.

    2. Can I just say how SICK I am of the cyworld thing coming up every time I try the Narin website? There - I've said it! I wish he'd put a message on his website saying when he thinks they might open, so we can all stop checking it! :|

      Sorry...just so annoyed by that cyworld thing.

    3. I agree...it's especially annoying since you can only look at things if you are a member! Ripoff. *sigh*

    4. Good things come to those who wait! :D

      I don't have the money for him now anyway, but someday I'll get a Narin! I'm really excited about the new website. I'm still waiting on Blue Fairy, too.. So much waiting we must do for these lovelies! It will be so worth it in the end, though!

    5. Good News! :daisy
      Narindoll homepage has a new opening date of the 1st week in September.
      Please be patient for just a bit longer. Bimong has been in Japan due to an Exhibition connected with a new doll that opened in Tokyo and the website opening was delayed.
      Narindoll is now preparing to film a movie with the theme of "LOVE IS..." and is also trying to acquire a private exhibition for his work. The subject of this exhibition is "Life"

      It appears that a permanent store will be opening in Seoul for Narindolls where all of Bimong's dolls will be availbable on a contiunous basis.

      I will update as I get new information, but for now this is the lates news. Thank you for being patient.

    8. How much do the standard Narin dolls run?
       
      #88 Amy, Aug 28, 2005

    9. $650.00 I believe.

    10. oh man, i was hoping they'd be a little cheaper than that. :(
       
      #90 giantbeetle, Aug 29, 2005
    11. Yeah, at least for a standard, I was hoping for $500 or less. $650 may be more than I can afford.
       
      #91 Amy, Aug 29, 2005
    12. i thought i heard a standard (no makeup) went for about $450 from a member here, but i can't remember who, or if they're just guesstimating. *_*

    13. Hi,
      I just looked up my old order and for Narin Narae couple: $830.26\not including shipping charges. As I rememer, the price was the same whether you ordered the dolls as a pair or separately, meaning there was no discount to order as a pair. It has been such a long time, that I do not remember. I ended up ordering two Narae and one Narin.
      Hope that helps a little. Those are in US dollars that was converted from the Korean won.

    14. $650 would be for the Petite Poupee "theme" dolls, with clothes, shoes, wigs, etc. The regular Narin/Naraes are about $480, I believe. The new ones could have new prices, however, so I wouldn't place too much dependence on this. I'm really looking forward to the opening of the website!
       
      #94 StephG, Aug 29, 2005

    15. Ah, thanks Steph...I knew I saw the $650.00 price someplace, I just couldn't remember where!! That regular price isn't bad at all then... :grin:

    17. Nope...but I sure wish I could join cyworld and see all the galleries! It drives me mad that I can't look at the pictures! :(

      I really, REALLY hope that website opens tomorrow! LOL!

    18. I tried to join a while back...I just made stuff up as I went along and it worked really well until I got to the part where I was supposed to copy a block of text (to prevent spam, I guess)...I couldn't do it because I couldn't read the text! :oops:

    19. dang, good try though! I wish we could get a group account, so that anyone could access it. Maybe one of the Korean members with some spare time could set a few up for people?
       
      #99 Amy, Aug 31, 2005
    20. Actually, it's *possible* that the standard Narin/Narae will be less . . . AFAIK, the ones on Petite Poupee were special editions of only one or two, including outfits . . . so maybe the basic ones available from Narindoll will be a little bit less?

      *crosses fingers*

      -- Andi, who's also impatient, I can't wait to see the beautiful new dolls! :)
