Re Doc clothes - Dunno. probably depends on the item and whether it will look ok loose on Narae. And slacks won;t work - Narae's legs are longer.

The immature girls are shaped nothing like Narae:

The new mature body (like Petsha):
Chest and hips larger than Narae, waist a bit smaller, legs shorter

Narae boys are named Narin and they have a variety of faceplates (partially closed eyes 1/3 and 2/3, Dragonfly, Heartbreak, Open Eye, Classic). I really don't remember ever seeing a Narae head on a Narin though (only the opposite which makes sort of an older looking girl).

Also search the Narae Discussion thread for Narae (go to thread, then select Search This Thread in upper left, but no far upper left which is Search Forum)

This is super helpful, especially knowing that you can swap out the heads on the smaller Naraes and Narins, which I was wondering (I think, though I'm not sure, you can actually order them that way? At least, Classic Narin is a drop-down option if you order a Narae doll, which made me happy because I was already considering it).

Thanks for all the links!!

 

You have to talk to Dollyholic about doing a special head/body combination. I know it is possibe to order a Narae with a Narin head, but I am not sure how/where that would be specified. Ask member Dollyholic.

A bit more info:

Narin has not been selling via their web site since last June, so Dollfair is their sales site.

Regarding the UV additive: UV damage means damage from UV rays of the sun. Resin can also be damaged by heat and other kinds of environmental actions such as oxidation. We advise you protect your dolls as usual from sun and heat. So for instance, if you put your doll in a sunny window she might still yellow from the heat of the sun.

 

For the curious, and old tan body with a new golden beige faceplate.

 

I have a Narin Dragonfly head on a 43 narae body.
That's my girl that Stella Maris painted above.

Ive been calling her new girl or NG because I don't have a name yet. I should call her Angie or Angelina (NG/Angie lol, sad yes)

 

You can swap the 43cm heads back and forth, but not the 60cm heads. The widths don't work, and there will be some gapping or unattractive bits sticking out.

Lots of people order a girl head and boy body, or boy head on a girl body with the 43cm dolls. We have it so you can make any kind of 43cm combination right on the web site when you order.

If you're going to use a mixed sex head and body, then you can also put it in your facepainting instructions that you want your Narin head painted like a girl.. or your Narae face painted more like a boy. In fact, on the new Narin Team page there is a girl facepainting using a Narin boy faceplate. Hey, it's nearly 2008.

Catrina

 

Catrina, so the Golden Beige now is the same as the Old Tanning?

 

Try some Tyler Matt clothes. I have seen Narin in a Matt suit, and Narae in a great Matt winter jacket.

Also Softly She Walks sells Narin clothes at Dollfair (though the female clothes are now sold through her own website).

It isn't the same, but today after seeing the "new tan" color I can say with confidence if you have an old tan and wanted to purchase a new faceplate the golden beige would be a better choice, the difference is acceptable, as you can see with New Girl on Zamora's body. That said resin colors vary from batch to batch, I'm having a hard time matching a BW LuWen head. And it's not like he's "old"

Denali Wind thank you so much for your help!

 

Thanks Stella!

Also one more question, is there any news that the Old Tanning will become available again? The New Tanning is a bit grayer than the Old Tanning. I read somewhere (I think in the Discussion for Naraes) that Catrina is trying to get that fixed.

 

You know I saw one of those "New Tan" girls and she wasn't grey at all, she was just lovely. I went to a meetup today in case you were wondering!

 

Quick Question Guys - Does anyone know if you can put a Narin Faceplate on a Unoa Boy Body? How would the resin match be? Would it fit right?
Thanks.

 

Unoa and Narae faceplates do not fit each other except taped on, as far as I know. Not sure about resin match either. There is a thread somewhere where someone taped a Unoa face on a Narae - maybe you could find that. Try a titles search of Minis discussion for: Unoa Narae

Carolyn

 

I think the pinky white Narin matches pretty well with the Unoa (better if it has yellowed a bit, I think). Yes, Carolyn is correct. They only fit if you tape them on which isn't a bad option if you don't mind a fit that isn't exact.

 

And Oracle12 - do you know that you can only buy complete heads for Narin? Narin/Narae faceplates are not sold separately.

Carolyn

 

I saw the same new tanning gal as Stella Maris. She wasn't grey at all. She was a lovely colour. And not so very different than the original. *shrug*

 

I really like these dolls but how bad is the yellowing for the pinky white? I want to enjoy the doll/ take her out side and not keep her stuck at home. Also would the yellowing rate be different for a golden beige doll?

 

Just my opinion...

I don't think you'll be able to find an answer about the yellowing rate of the current Narae French resin with the UV additive. I think the UV additive was just added in mid 2007?

I know that with the previous French resin the yellowing could be very noticeable and uneven for people who did photoshoots outside (look for posts by Denaliwind containing yellow*). And artificial light and heat can also cause yellowing. The parts of the body hidden by clothing the most will yellow the least.

The color that either yellows least or hides it best has traditionally been tanning, but I don't think the new shade of tan has really been around long enough to see yellowing, especially since most people keep their French resins indoor and out of bright light.

I don't think golden beige would be a good choice for a doll that will go outdoors - the golden beige is already yellowish. But again, I have no information on golden beige with the UV additive + sun.

I'm sure Dollyholic will have a better answer.
