This version of Choa was released as an exclusive through Haute Doll magazine and was limited to 10 dolls. The sculpt was not altered, though the white resin used was more pink than the white Custom House used for prior releases.
- Face-up artist(s):
- Nocturnal Doll
- Modifications artist(s):
- St. James
- Date of acquisition:
- November 7, 2009
- Provenance:
- Head purchased from bjbnut via the DoA Marketplace. Body purchased directly from iplehouse as a custom choice doll.
- Reason for choice:
- It was love at first sight with Choa back in 2005 and I bought the first version of Audrey in 2006 with money I inherited from my great-grandmother who was also a doll collector. I later decided to replace my original Unique Ai Choa because I wanted a more mature body for her and I didn't want to split up the Unique fullset.
- Best Points:
- Love the hand sculpt on the nYID body and of course her face.
- Worst Points:
- Resin and casting quality on the limited Haute Doll version of Choa is not as high as on the original Uniques.
The iplehouse ankles are horribly engineered and the feet, while lovely, are too wide for anything but the clunky, lackluster Iplehouse shoes.
The iplehouse neck was drastically modified to fit the smaller neck hole in the Choa head.

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
