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.Dismiss Notice

Company History
Custom House is a Korean BJD company that began selling dolls in 2003. In its early years, Custom House was best-known for its 56-60cm Ai line of dolls, and especially for its themed Unique Ai and Limited Ai releases. Some of the Unique Custom House dolls included a group that represented the members of the K-pop band Nell, and a series of Merchen dolls based on fairy-tale characters. These early Unique and Limited dolls featured the work of costume and faceup artists Anu, Rolling Pumpkin, and HeavyBomb. By 2005, Custom House had expanded its doll line with the 27cm Petite Ai--the first childlike Tiny ABJDs on the market--and with the Mini-sized Little Junior and Junior. The Petite Ai have been popular with Japanese BJD collectors, and are often featured in such Japanese doll magazines as Dollybird and Dolly Dolly.
Changes in company personnel in 2006 led to greater emphasis on the Petite Ai, discontinuation of most of the Basic Ai sculpts, and a redesign of both the Ai Boy and Ai Girl bodies. After a hiatus, Custom House reopened its website and during the next few years the company offered new doll sizes (Classic Ai, Vintage Ai, Ange Ai, Bisou Ai, Bebe Ai), a "club" system of purchasing, and a fully-customized doll option through which buyers could request discontinued heads. By 2008, Custom House began offering frequent sales and ordering events, and customers began experiencing long waiting times for order delivery, all of which continue to the present day. According to some sources, Custom House now manufactures its dolls in China. DollCatch, which opened an online shop in early 2009, is a sister company to Custom House.
