Darak Doll 40cm Mini Discussion Part 1

Dec 18, 2012

    1. This is a discussion thread for Darak Doll 40cm mini dolls.

      Company website - http://www.darak-i.com/
      ------------------------------------------------------


      Darak Doll is a new Korean BJD company that has two minis to offer - Remi and Semi (both 41.5cm tall). They were both recently sold through Nine9Style, where I managed to grab Remi! Anyone else take the plunge? Or, gave it some serious thought? :D

      I really like the body lines of these girls - they are pear shaped without being overly exaggerated. The faces are pretty adorable, too!
       
    2. I think Semi is really beautiful, too bad the ordering period is over.
       
    3. The body is really captivating, especially the movable version. So full of harmony. Thanks for pointing them out, I had not heard about them before. Be sure to show your girl and tell us all about her when you get her!^^
       
    4. Seems to be too late for these girls. I wonder if the company will offer more dolls in the future. I like the body a lot, it has a nice natural pear shape and looks pretty posable.
       
    5. That's what drew me to them - the body. I love how different it is from the standard BJD body, but yet still natural. They also have a tiny tummy, which is very cute! I wonder how difficult these girls will be to dress.

      I hope that they are offered again in the future, but I bet it all depends on how well they sold this first round.
       
    6. Oh wow, I wish I had known about this company when these girls were available, they are both gorgeous. It looks like they came with a lot of cool extra stuff too:(
       
    7. I heard that Darak is making their homepage now.
      Also I'm attaching the picture of my non make-up Remi.

    8. He makes a very cute boy, Sevee, thanks for sharing!
      I'll be waiting for the Darak website <3
       
    9. Sevee, thank you for sharing! It's great to see owner pictures :) It's such a beautiful sculpt!

      Edit: My Remi is "on shipping" from Nine9Style! If she doesn't get held up in customs, she should be here Monday or Tuesday!!! :sumomo:
       
    10. I have added some links of Remi's picture here in 2013.
      But since now(2017) that links don't work, I deleted it. Sorry!

    11. Sevee, thank you so much for the congrats! Remi should arrive on Tuesday - I can't wait!

      Your boy looks great! I actually had no idea the sculpt had little teethies <3 I'd love to see more pictures! You can create a Gallery thread and link to it, or, I just created a Photo Sharing thread here - http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?563432
       
    12. Remi looks like such an adorable sculpt ; u ; Hope the website comes soon ;;!
       
    13. Remi is quite cute! They do seem to have a domain name booked, but the site is not up yet. I guess they still need some time to set up shop!

      Meanwhile, I received my Remi, who unfortunately came damaged. Box opening thread - http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?563735
       
    14. I'm totally subscribing to this thread in hopes of more owner pics, and info on when their next ordering period is. I absolutely LOOOVE Semi, especially her dreaming head. Arg, I wish I could have gotten in on the first ordering period. I want the sleeping head and the heeled feet and the pretty box. ;~;
       
    15. These dolls are precious! I absolutely love the unique body lines and the incredible attention to detail. I love the photos of the new body with the extra thigh joint, and the sleeping head... very interested! I can't wait for them to have a website ready. :)
       
    16. Ive seen darak dolls on photos :)
      Beautiglful yet unique body and the box is made of wood
       
    17. Bumping this up for interest, I just discovered Semy and I am in love... does anyone have her? I'd love to see owner pics!! :)
       
    18. I hope for this thread to become more active since I have fallen in love with Darak dolls recently <3
      So lemme start off by sharing my Remi girl with you all~

      I don't wish to start spamming you already so if you want to see more photos of my Remi, please visit my flickr.
      Whenever I do new shoots with her, I'll be sure to share with you all here :)
       
    19. She's gorgeous, yeast! That wig looks great on her - is that a Licht wig? I ordered a very similar style for my Remi from them!
       
    20. Yeast, your Remi is SO CUTE!! :D I loved her pics in flickr too. Would love to see more of her! Sounds like she is a pretty well-made doll. Is she more of a slim mini (like minifee) or chunkier (like Volks)? How is Darak as a company-- did you have to wait long for her? Thanks for your advice. :)
       
    21. I'm not yeast, but have some answers for you!

      Here's a comparison picture I took of Remi next to a MNF A-line body - http://www.flickr.com/photos/anya0918/9128549553/ (there are more on my Flickr). Her hips are wider than a MNF, but her shoulders are narrower. Finding clothes that fit is a challenge, especially pants and tighter skirts. I was able to fit her into a Yo-SD-sized top and dress easily (though, the dress is super short, of course!).

      Darak currently doesn't sell internationally, but Nine9Style is a dealer. I waited about a month for Remi from Nine9Style. Here are some pictures of her arrival - http://www.flickr.com/photos/anya0918/sets/72157632809958554/
       
    22. @ Anna:
      Thank you so much for your compliments. She is so precious!!
      Her wig is from Wigwing. There's only one wig that looks hers on Wigwing's website so it shouldn't be hard to spot. :)
      I actually wanted a certain look for her and wanted to do her face-up myself.
      I wasn't sure if I was going to like her default make-up when I was waiting for her but her face-up is really cute and suits her look really nicely.
      I do want to change her face-up a fews months from now though. <3 Still so pretty!


      @ Sylphide:
      Anna's comparison is pretty accurate. (It was quite interesting for me to see the comparison photo too.)
      In her photo, you can see that Remi has narrower shoulders than MNF A-line body.
      However, Darak made extra chest parts so she could be closer to regular MSD sized shoulder measurements.
      Unless I misunderstood them, you can select narrow shoulder chest part or wider shoulder chest part. (and they have different bust sizes too.)
      My Remi has wider shoulders. :)
      She has really thin waist and wider hips which makes it a bit hard to find clothes for her.
      I really love her body and I'm willing to search for clothes that will fit her. Besides, I wanted her to be "leggings girl" so it won't be a big problem. ^^

      Darak was wonderful to order from and it took about a month for her to arrive. All her seams were sanded because they don't like the look of seamlines.
      They are actually taking orders right now on their Korean website. http://darak-i.com/
      I guess if you really want, you can leave them a message there. If you need help, let me know :)
      I'm bilingual in Korean and English so maybe I can be of help.
      Seriously, I think Darak dolls are so beeeeeeautiful and needs more attention.
      I recently ordered their "Ugly Remi" which is a tiny version of Remi. I think they can make really cute sisters <3
       
    23. I wished I have seen the tiny Remy earlier, I missed the ordering period by only one day when I first saw her~ So sad... I wonder if Tiny Remy will be available as basic in the future.
       
    24. @ WinterMonkey:
      It hasn't been too long since the ordering period of Tiny Remi has ended so maybe you could email them or something
      to ask to let you purchase one. They don't have English website which is probably why many people missed out.
      So maybe they'll let you purchase? I think it's worth a try ;)
       
    25. I saw a seller selling Tiny Remy on ebay, they said ordering period till 20th, but I saw it on 19th and it had already ended. So I contacted the seller, but sellerjust simply replied saying, "Sorry, the auction has ended."
       
    26. Thanks Anna for the photo! Remy does appear to be a good bit wider in the hips but since my girls wear dresses most of the time that might not be a problem. I am just so in love with your girl, Yeast!! :)
       
    27. I actually went to mountain with my friends as a summer trip and guess who I brought along with me!

      Unfortunately, I can't post more than one photo at a time in discussions threads so if you want to see more pics, come check my flickr :)
      I'm expecting Tiny Remi to come home soon too! <3


      @ Sylphide: I'm glad you like my girl~!! I've never owned a girl like her before so I'm really loving her too!! :)
       
    28. More Semy!!!! XD I found this on flickr, too cute o.o

    29. Hi all. I've just come across this doll company and I'm really smitten with Remy. Maybe one day she will be added to my waiting list but in the meantime I am content to admire your photos!
       
    30. So, it looks like the company has renamed the sculpts to Remy and Semy (it was Remi and Semi initially). Also, since new molds have been added to the 40cm line, I'm going to change the title of the thread to reflect the change in order to avoid any confusion!
       
    31. Thank you for the explanation Anna. I did wonder why people were spelling the names in two different ways.
       
    32. Just noticed on their English website that doll bodies are $23 - a typo, surely?
       
    33. Oh my, I think I may be in love with Remy and Brad... I think I'll need to hang out here and take a look at some owner photos, I'm glad to see some people already have some of these dolls!
       
    34. Can't believe I forgot to share my favorite photo of my Remy.
      She has her default face-up but I'm planning to wipe her clean and give her a new face-up real soon <3

      It feels so weird typing "Remy" instead of "Remi" @_@!!!
      I already have other dolly plans for November and December but I really want sleeping Remy too.
      Thinking of getting her as my first doll of 2014.
      Or if my will power does not overcome my desires, I might order her earlier.
       
    35. What is the normal skin like? Is it yellow or pinkish?
       
    36. It's rather pale and has yellow undertones. Here's a picture of Remy next to MNF body (nudity, obviously :lol:) - http://www.flickr.com/photos/anya0918/9130762030/
       
    37. Thanks! I saw that picture but I wasn't sure if it was normal skin.

      Is the white skin very white?
       
    38. I'm curious about this myself! When I get my next Darak girl, I'm considering white resin, but I'd love to see how it compares to other whites.
       
    39. Desperately looking for any pictures of Darak boy, Brad. Need help :eusa_pray
       
    40. Did you find some Brad pictures AmoreMio?
      I found some Brad owner photos on Korean Darak website. I can give you links if you need them :)
       
    41. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of Brad, but I'd love to see owner pictures as well, if anyone has them!

      I do have a new picture of Remy to share! The poor thing doesn't have much of a wardrobe due to her unique body shape, but she does look cute in this knit coat. I hope that Darak releases clothing options for these lovely ladies soon!

    42. Here's the link to Darak Korean website's owner gallery.
      http://darak-i.com/front/php/b/board_list.php?board_no=8
      You should be able to find some owner pictures of Brad (and others) after browsing a few pages.

      Anna! Your Remy is so lovely! That knit coat is absolutely cute on her! What did you name her?
      I have the same problem with dressing my Remy too. I asked them about clothing options and they told me
      that they'll offer more options in 2014.
       
    43. yeast, I actually asked them the same question and received the reply you did. I'm crossing my fingers that the clothes will come early in 2014! I'm still deciding on a name for her, so for now she's just "Remi" (the original name used for the release). Thank you very much for linking the owner photo board - I enjoyed looking through it!
       
    44. Thank you so much for that link! I really wanted to see some owner pictures of Brad too.
       
    45. Hi, does anyone has B type body? Is it posing good? I really like look of B type body. I wanted smaler 31 cm doll. But its pitty it doesnt have same look as 42 cm body. So I m thinking I need another MSD girl :-D
       
    46. I got a sleeping Remy with B type. I like it, I think it is posing well :)

      A little picture of Eddie (opening bow here!)

    47. Lovely girls. Remy is on my wish list for 2014 but the clothing issue does worry me as I can't sew and already have a doll with a similar problem!
       
    48. I dress mine with an outfit from Arcadia, made for a MNF. It fits well.
       
    49. Hello! I just stumbled across these girls and love the way they look. I am confused by the differences between A and B bodies though. It seems like they are both double jointed, but A bodies have the 'peanuts' concealed and B has the extra joint piece between elbows and knees. Is that right? and are the 31cm included here or is there a different discussion thread I haven't found? TIA
       
    50. Anna, your remy is so cute!
       
    51. Thank you! I adore this girl! I also need to take pictures of her dreaming face once I get a second pair of eyes :)
       
    52. Does anyone know if there are any pictures of the boy body floating around? I'd really like to order one, but I'm a little wary of ordering a doll without ever seeing his body sculpt.
       
    53. I fell so for Remy that she is next on my list (along with Souldoll Diammah). Too bad it's so hard finding more pictures of her. She's so lovely. Something about her face is so captivating and cute. If anyone has her, picture spam please! :daisy
       
    54. Caitirin, they posted the body sculpt in the parts section so you can see what it looks like. v:
