Custom House Bisou Ai 19cm Discussion Part 1

So the English version of this company's website no longer works. I can't really say that I'm surprised.

 

@Megami-Landing: Yes of course!! UU is so cute! ^^ Mine is called Revi, she is a bit of a shy girl, here she is playing in the snow with Maren (MW Jr Leila)

I no longer have her, but this is Clementine my former UU. I miss having a Bisou - the size is really nice

Two UU girls and a Shushu (the blonde is the Shushu).

Sodabeentjes - Omg her little hat is so precious! I'm trying to find a long wig like that for my soon-to-be girl. *__*

Honeythorpe - That dress! What an adorable print. I think that's probably what I'm most excited about for finally getting a tiny--all the dresses are super-adorable.

svgjen - I really love that pink bob. Gah, they're all so cute. I'm totally in love. This is the girl I'm looking at:

She's very sweet.

 

Here are my two-Bon Bon and Shu Shu:

 

svgjen Thank you! I adore her little face. She looks so contemplative.

They're all so cute, yee. Sweetiemom those dresses are adorable.

I got my girl! She's got a temporary wig until the one I ordered gets in, but for now, she looks like this:

I'm so excited! My partner's going to be getting another tiny in almost the same size soon--I'm so excited for her!

 

It's nice to see some action on this board again.

I've noticed the Aidolls English website hasn't been available for a bit. Is the company still operating?

 

They posted on the Q&A board at the start of the month, so on the one hand, I don't think they're gone, but it seems the Japanese site is gone too. I hope they're still going!

 

I guess there aren't very many people with these little dolls, but glad to see I'm not alone, even if this thread is a little quiet, lol. I have a Jeje, she's so cute and portable. ^^

It's a bit sad that I don't hear much about Customhouse anymore. Are they still going?

 

@ Quill I thought they were only selling local still. So I guess most of us have to rely on the marketplaces.
I would love to see your Jeje ^^

Some UU spam Revi recently got new eyes, dark grey and a bit blue-ish. And I made her this dress a while ago.

Yeah I can't get on their English site anymore so I guess they're gone, at least from the international market. Their Korean site is still up but I guess they're only selling within Korea? They shot themselves in the foot with horrible customer service. They got such a bad reputation that I'm sure hardly anyone was ordering from them anymore though I find their little dolls incredibly cute.

I have 3 little ones, 2 UUs and a Shushu. The reason I have 2 UUs is because Custom House screwed up my order and they ended up sending me another one. UU was the first BJD I ever owned.

 

UU is so adorable, with those chubby cheeks. x3 My sister has one that I bought for her along with my own JeJe when CH was having one of their crazy half-off sale bonanzas. It was pretty daring of me to buy from them as a newbie, now that I think back on it--they were having so many issues at the time! I ended up waiting nearly seven months for these dolls.

It was worth it. :3 I almost wish I had another one--Bibelot could use a friend her size!

And I still owe this thread a picture of my little Bibelot! Maybe I'll get a chance to snap some shots when I'm done with packing. @_@

 

Bonbon and Popo

 

So cute. I love their sweaters.

 

They are adorable Ocean-girl. They seem ready for mischief.

 

I got my Bisou yesterday She's SO TINY AND ADORABLE! I don't know what sculpt she is, but I'll post pictures once I make the little beastie some clothes and her wig arrives. Maybe we can breathe a little life into this thread?

 

I rarely see any other Bisou owners when I'm at meetups or shows :/ The size never seemed to catch on, though you do see similar scale dolls like the Pepper/Sugar Pocket Fairies and the TinyDelf 20s starting to gain popularity, so perhaps we'll see more clothes/etc offered in that scale. I don't see Bisous often on the Marketplace, and I would not order from CH directly even if it was possible, so not sure if many people would be able to buy these girls.

I have four--BonBon, PoPo, YoYo and CoCo--but the last two had all sorts of structural/resin issues once I finally got my order from CH. It took a while and a lot of modding before I could get them fixed enough to do faceups, and there was a lot of bitterness about the situation with that order, so they tend to be put away. I will eventually get pictures of them, but for now, I stick with my original pair of girls when I'm choosing models for shows.

Here's Lorelei, my BonBon girl, the first of the Bisous/Anges to arrive back when they were first offered.
