Haru Casting Mini Dolls

I saw it too! I'm very excited and hope we get our tracking numbers tomorrow

 

Me three! I’m giddy, not gonna lie

Edit: tracking number get!

 

Woooo hoooo I have my tracking number for my Eminor! It doesn’t work yet but hopefully she’s on her way!!

 

Does anyone know how long it usually takes to arrive from Korea to the US? I’m getting married on the 31st and my partner and I would love to have our Maji and E-Minor there!

 

He sent me my tracking number on 3/5 and I received her on 3/7....I live near Dallas, TX. I was shocked at how quick it was!

 

OMG! Here’s hoping!

@Goris your Maji is beautiful

 

My gals arrived! Unfortunately my partner accidentally released Maji’s S-Hook and the elastic went all the way back down to her legs. So now we’re trying to pull it back up but the elastic is so tight we can’t get it past her stomach area. Doesn’t anyone have any ideas on how to get the elastic up through her upper torso/neck? Is this just a sheer strength issue?

Edit: got her fixed! But both of them seem very tight - any suggestions for loosening them up a bit (other than restringing)?

 

Oh I just discovered Maji! I want her so badly. Any idea of when another ordering period will be held?

 

Oh hey ! I’m also by Dallas. Your’s arrived so quickly !! I got my tracking number 3/5 too but she didnt arrive until 3/9 (3-4 days is how long my usual wait for EMS is though)

 

Small world, lol! I’ve only had one other thing delivered via EMS and it took about a week, so I was super pleased but shocked when she arrived so soon

 

I’m curious about loosening too, my e-minor’s left leg is super kicky and her hands are super hard to switch out at the moment...

 

Dallas here, too, but mine wasn't quite that quick, lol. Looks like there are lots of Haru Casting dolls here. I can't wait until mine come back from the face up artist.

 

After a delay, my Maji was delivered yesterday! I am so in love with her, all day at work I've been daydreaming about going home to play with her She's absolutely everything I hoped for


Not 100% sure on the wig yet, but I do like that color.

 

@Goris & @RamenDoodles both of your dolls are beautiful! I love seeing all the different ways they are all styled.

@Talolili This was on one of his comment threads on Instagram : maybe, it would be possible to open JOA preorder in July. Yes, before then, Maji, E-minor and Som’s pre-order! This is all I have seen, but I am not diligent about following the comments. His Instagram is pretty much the best place for news, imo.

 

Thank you. I followed him yesterday. Will keep an eye on news.

 

Yay for Dallas,lol...kinda excited that there are a few people in the hobby so close! Hope you get them back from the artist soon. Are they local?

 

No, I wish! I've got Maji and E-Minor off with Red Iris Atelier. I've still got 3 people ahead of me, so it will probably be a bit longer. Which is great, because I just ordered my eyes recently, and still have no idea what kind of wigs I want. Dark hair is all I know, but I find it really hard to decide on wigs without the doll in hand. At least the bodies are clothed, I guess!

 

Awe, sorry it may take a while, but I’m sure they will be beautiful. I know what you mean about wigs it’s hard if you don’t have them with you, I’m the same with eyes too I can’t ever decide until I have the doll in hand.

 

Does anyone know when the next pre-order will be? And how much they cost? I’ve totally fallen in love with e-minor and really hoping there’s another pre-order soon.

 

@Curlygirly
Possibly summer. He posts about preorders on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/harucasting
Here are the prices for the last preorder: E-Minor

 

Thank you x

 

I've set my eyes on E-Minor too... I'm dreaming of a light tanned girl. I follow Haru in instagram and have been looking at lot of photos of Harucasting dolls there too.

 

Not sure this is my E-Minor’s final wig, but I do like how it shows up against the Nanni Chocolate skin. I’m obsessed with her now!!

 

@kellyemm love the pink with her skintone!

 

@kellyemm She's beautiful! I love the pink against her skin tone

 

Thank you for the compliments on my E-minor! I really appreciate it!

I have a question about Maji... I’m having some trouble with my Maji’s torso. It’s really kicky around her hips, and juts out a lot. Her back also ends up bent backwards a lot. It makes her harder to pose than E-Minor. I think it’s because she’s tightly strung, but since these are my first real resin dolls (usually collect vinyl) I’m not sure. Is this pretty common? Anyone else have this issue with a new Maji?

 

I am having this issue too with my Maji. It's most likely because she is strung really tightly but I don't really mind it too much as it hasn't been a huge problem for me. You could try restringing her if it's really bad? Good luck!

 

My Maji does the same, I’m just trying to get used to how she poses.

 

Ok, whew! Thanks to you both for replying. I just wanted to make sure it wasn’t something I was doing wrong.



Working on her posing here, too... Both girls are just stunning.

 

I'm loving all the E-minor and Maji pictures! Congratulations!

 

dambuster01, thanks
bluepita, thanks

 

She’s beautiful! Love the pink in her!

 

I can’t wait to order eminor during the next release!!!

 

Thank you so much!!

 

Just wanted to share another picture of Maji, this time laying around this weekend. Anyone else having fun taking tons of photos of the Haru gals?

 

I need a Dark Tan Maji! She's so pretty! This year has been expensive for me though so hopefully the preorder will be when I have some cash to spend haha.

 

@kellyemm Your Maji looks so sweet! And in answer to your question, YES!! My Eminor arrived home to Spain with my husband who'd been in the UK for a week So I have taken some quick photos of her. I took more but they didn't come out very well.
Here she is, my still unnamed Eminor in Soft Tan with Blisslacosta faceup.....

 

I love her wig! Really accentuates her sweet face.

 

She’s gorgeous! Can I ask, did you get hit with customs fees when she arrived in the UK?

 

Thank you @kellyemm I've since changed it for another one, but she'll probably go back to this one sometimes

Thank you @Curlygirly. Yes, I had to pay £25.45 which I didn't think was too bad at all, here it Spain it would have been much more and also, it would have been more difficult because Spanish customs ask for a screenshot of the paypal transaction when you purchased the item, or they want a copy of the credit card statement, (they won't go by the value marked on the parcel) as well as several other documents....plus you cannot pay over the phone by card, you have to wait for a letter and then you have to physically go to a designated bank and pay the ransom. After that you have to take the bank receipt, scan it into you computer, and then email them with the receipt!!! It's such a palavar and sometimes I've had to wait as much as 6 weeks for the parcel to be released!!!

Anyway, here is another photo of my lovely new girl....she's trying out this new faux fur wig.....

 

Gosh! That is a very thorough customs process in Spain I understand why you preferred to go through the uk system now and hopefully ours doesn’t change in the future (I used to get the odd parcel sneak through, but now everything gets stopped, so have to factor in the extra cost).

She looks gorgeous in the blonde wig too x

 

Does anyone have a color comparison between the Dark Tan and Black Pearl Skin? Thank you.

BTW, I like the concept for his JOA doll. While Haru is working on that, I'll start putting money aside, haha.

 

Can I ask what the prices normally are for an E-Minor? I am in Australia so need to be able to do a conversion to figure out how much it will cost me. Thanks

 

If you look on the last page, I asked the same question and someone kindly linked the price page from last preorder. (I’m not sure how to post links or pics on this forum yet). I think she was roughly from $450-550 depending on what options you picked

 

Ouch That's gonna be over $800 for me. Better get saving!

 

The exchange rate is really rubbish for some countries

 

That’s rough!! I went and checked my invoice - for my Nanni Choco with face-up she was $600 USD. My basic normal Maji with face-up was $535 USD. If I had gotten her without face-up she would have been $455. I hope this helps you plan!

 

$USD600 is about a little over $850 for me. I probably won't be able to order in this pre-order I can't get that type of money together in the next few weeks. How disappointing. Hopefully Haru will open up another pre-order later in the year.

 

He does a half half layaway. That is how a lot of people I know managed to get theirs and how I got mine. You pay half when you order and then the rest when the doll is ready to ship. It gives you a good time to save up the rest of the money.

 

Thankyou so much for this information!

 

That’s really good to know. Thank you!

 

Wait, when is the next pre-order?

 

Does he allow layaway?

Also, it says in his directions to pay price plus PayPal fees. How do you pay all that together?

Or have you guys just paid as friends?

I am interested in his next Maji preorder.

Thanks.

 

Last I saw, he was thinking June or July.

I paid friends & family. He’s sold a lot of dolls without any problem, mine included, I trust him enough to do it again

 

June or July gives a little bit more time to get saving

 

I definitely couldn’t have done it without the layaway! But the good news is that either way he does a couple per year so if you miss the spring he will probably do one in the fall.

 

Oh June or July is probably good for me! Where does he post this? I follow on Tumblr and IG while also checking the website but didn't see anything mentioned.

 

He’ll usually post about it on Instagram - check his Stories as I’ve seen more references to pre-orders there in general.
