Abio Angel Discussion - See 1st post for AA info ^^

Dec 1, 2006

    1. Hi Everyone ^^

      I've set up a blog where I consolidated the data for Abio Angel.

      Had wanted to set up a website but due to my almost none existent html skills..
      I had to use a blog instead :|

      *Edit* I've input all the data and pictures on the blog.
      Do let me know if you have any suggestions or things to add... anything at all ^^


      http://abioangel.blogspot.com/

      Please let me know if you don't want your posts or pictures linked in the blog and I'll remove them.

      Also, Koda has created a Abio Angel database on DOA :)
      Please feel free to add your babies in :D

    2. So...they're making new dolls rather than fixing their company issues with shipping and completion of orders.....interesting.
       

    3. Actually, these look a lot like Michael and Zeber to me- the first dolls Mythdoll made.

      Does anyone know what size they are? If they are 60cm, then they might not be new at all- just re-named.....
       
    4. You know... If Mythdolls fixed most of their communication/shipping problems they could really take the BJD world by storm. But those two are very cute dolls.
       
    5. I've taken a look at their message board, and it seems they're replying to messages again and shipping dolls out... Still, I wonder why they felt the need to open yet another company.
       
    6. It's interesting - and certainly and noble cause, albeit a bit futile I think (ever the cynic) - but I too think they are trying to do too much too soon, not finishing and perfecting one thing before rushing to another...
       
    7. Are they really only $170 for the full doll? O__o I hope Mythdoll and related companies can work out their problems because I really like their dolls, especially the ABIO ANGEL doll with white hair.

      The dolls are 60cm, but I don't think they are Zeber and Michael. I used to want Zeber but neither looks like him. And Michael had a rather flat face, if I remember correctly...
       
    8. Hmm..... it's a label Leroi started but it seems the chief designer is not Leroi but another designer from china.. I'm not too sure.

      It is around $170 for a full doll... includes postal box,black protective bag (no idea how it looks like) and assembled doll with makeup.
      The Abio Angel with white fluffy hair is Yue... same as the one with red wig (first link).

      It seems there's another one call Bin coming out soon. He seems a mix of the one with brown wig and white wig. ^^

      The yahoo seller mentioned that the seams and details will be a little rough so the owner will have to do a little sanding on their own.
      But since Abio Angel is a small company (more like a workshop it seems) and for the VERY affordable price.. I guess it's ok..

      I might be getting Bin.. but it'll see if he's really how he seems to be in the photo.. he'll be great for a character I have in mind XD
       
    9. 170? *_* at that price....

      I'm going to have to reserve judgement untill I see owner pics and owner testmonials about the quaility of the doll.
      ....though they are very tempting.

      I'd love to get one. ^_^ *Crosses fingers*
       
    10. A little Google and Babelfish says...
      Chinese Blog Entry
      Snow Muscle skin color!
      This blog also has a great entry on Dollism Plus.

      other links:
      http://goods.ruten.com.tw/item/show?10061109369899
      I really like the eyes on this one, but his chin seems weak...
      http://www.guanshui.com.cn/bbs/dispbbs.asp?boardID=14&ID=12&page=1
      All 4 heads there... I want to see more owner photos, since the heads all seem to look so similar. It took me a while to realize that they weren't The Four Brothers.

      Thank you, Mata! :D
       
    11. According to a taiwan seller... the resin's not bad..
      as she said... not thin or fragile..
      She banged her AA Yi's head while changing his clothes and he's fine...
      Other buyers are pretty please with the quality of the doll..

      She ships internationally.. but shipping differs on location of cos ^^

      AA boys (They're 61.5 cm) are not genderless ... >/////<: http://album.blog.yam.com/indigobeast&folder=1528396

      I'm definitely going to get Yi or San(i tot was pronounce as bin)
      but not til Jan ^^


      P.S. It seems AA dolls are named in numbers (in chinese)
      Boys are Ling(0),Yi(1),Er(2),San(3)
      Girls are Qi(7), Ba(8),Jiu(9) and Shi(10)
       
    12. :O Wow their girls are just as pretty! Are those just heads(For the price, I assume so...)? I really like Shi! *o*

      Also, sorry for making you answer so many questions haha... but how would one purchase one? Is there a type of thing like SMJ or Rinkya that works with Taiwan? I hope they continue to sell these for a long time, so that I can get one. 8D
       
    13. That's the price of a whole doll without the extra charges. I'll have to check with the china seller, especially since some only do bulk orders.
      I'm not so sure of reliability too...

      It's really no problem.. since I'm doing the research for myself too :lol:

      For china's Taobao.. you'll need to register and be careful since I've heard there's quite a handful of scammers around. Y
      You'll have to wait as they do not have ready stock on hand.

      For Taiwan Yahoo.. same thing.. you'll need an account to bid..
      so far I've not seen something like SMJ or Rinkya around..
      maybe cause most sellers ship overseas..
      They have some stock on hand.

      I'll help you ask both and see if they can liaise with you directly or maybe I can help translate. :)
       
    14. Their hands look fugly, but with a bit of work I think that can be fixed, and that's pretty much to be expected for $170 I guess... If it weren't for the fact they're selling off TaoBao I would almost buy one of their girls, but there's a saying about how burnt children flee fire, and I've been scammed at TaoBao before. Maybe when they open a real site and have positive customer feedback, maybe...
       
    15. Well, I notified the Junky Spot about this, and they're going to be looking into it. If it's the same resin as Mythdoll, then it's fairly sturdy, nice feeling opaque resin, which occasionally suffers from bubbles. Not bad, but not the best either.
       
    16. Speaking of imperfections, I'm kind of excited about the larger seams and rough eyes because I'm going to reshape the eyes a little bit and slightly change the look of the arms/shoulders (I have really neat mod ideas for the two..they're definitely going to be brothers ^^)

      These dolls are a modder's -dream-! ^______^
       
    17. I'm in the same boat as you are! I would love to hear more about them and see more pictures before I decide. ^_^ My friend is a pretty nice guy and he knows about BJDs so if we hear good things, I'll ask him if he can help.

      Going back on the dolls, I haven't modded a doll before and these ones would make for interesting modding. But...I actually kinda like how the smiley one looks as he is. ^__^ The cuteness!
       
    18. Junky Spot?

      Bulk order is only if the one you want isn't in stock and that's for one of the China Seller...
      the other China seller that claims to be the official Taobao representative never replied.
      The taiwan sellers have some AA in stock...
      you can buy single dolls from them...
      One of the taiwan seller accepts paypal and layaway (the extra charges of paypal is beared by buyer).

      As for pictures ans testimonials..
      I'll post the links if I find more pictures..
      but teestimonials...
      I've only heard from the sellers..
      the rating in the auctions..
      and some comments from buyers..
      but they're all in chinese >_<

      I'll be getting San in Jan...
      we'll see how it goes :)
       
    19. oh... ok... I'll be waiting for your testimonial when you got San. That's even awsome because they're also accepting layaway! weee... what site that accepts layaway? I hope that it's safe... >,<
       
    20. By the way, the Junky Spot is a small doll distribution buisness in the US. They distribute Obitsu, Souldoll, DIM, Elfdoll, and Dollzone dolls.

      Oh, I really would love to get one of these dolls!
       
    21. I'll be comparing with my DOC Too when San arrives :)
      Will let everyone know how's it by then.

      One of the sellers informed me that the price of promotion price of 800 RMB will end after Christmas..
      the new price will be 968 RMB (not 978 RMB m-_-m)
       
    22. I'm just wondering.. why the prices are getting higher?? It is just their promotion/sale price??? =_=
       
    23. I think I want to order Er, I love his big nose!
      But this all is so confusing so far!

      Dear Mata, can I just email rose romance to order him without being on taobao or whatever it is? Hmmm maybe that's too risky..!
      What do you advise?

      I can pay you a commission or send you a nice goodie for your dolls to thank you for your help. ^_^
      Raven
       
    24. I've gotten a confirmation from both rose_romance and Lanna (Taiwan sellers) that the raise in price (date I'm given now for the price change is 1st Jan 2007) is due to the change of resin..
      The new resin will be of better quality and skin tone look more soft (?) and rosy.. :D
      Too bad I've ordered my San and that I cannot wait any longer..
      if not I'll definitely get the new batch... >_<


      ravendolls - I think it's still safer to have her open an auction for you..
      even though she's got good ratings...
      it's still better to be safe ^^
      so I've asked rose_romance...
      she says she can open an ebay auction for you to bid..
      just email her your ebay account name and your order..
      you can email her for more details :)

      the batch of dolls after 1St of Jan 2007 will have a slightly different skintone..
       
    25. PICTURE ... im such a dork for forgetting to upload it...

      [​IMG]
       
    26. Can you get them WITHOUT makeup from anyone? o_O And. Oh man. The ordering process. Leaves me. Confuzzled like whoa since I read like English and very little Japanese and nothing else. DX
       
    27. I have ordered him and he is on his way... When he gets here (which should be soon - shipping via ems) ill show lots of pictures ^_^
      I am also thinking about setting up an ordering service for anyone who wants one of these beautiful dolls but is weary about ordering.
      Also, the price for one shipped from Lanna is 189.89usd including international shipping. The price on the auction is including local shipping.

      here is a link for my Aibo angel in the incomming doll section if you want to have a look

      http://denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?t=106230

      And while all of the angels have face ups applied when they are shipped out from Abio Angel, Its quite a simple process to have the face ups removed (i've worked with resin extensively and have all the tools to remove the face ups at home)

      If anyone is interested in an ordering service for these dolls, could you send me a pm? and if there is anyone who is willing, i will be most obliged to order their angel for them. ^_^
       
    28. Ahh~ thats so unique, with the different color eyes :love Can't wait for the photos when your san arrives! There'll be at least 2 san now~ wonder wheres my Yi buddies? :sweat

      Thats ridiculous! Why would anyone do such a thing? :doh
       
    29. So, I talked to one of the sellers - a 200 dollar SD sized doll seems way too good to be true. So readily available, too. I'm torn - I love the Shi, and I could preorder her, but I've got no background on any of these people or the dolls. Is anyone else going to try to get one, or are we waiting for more information?
       
    30. I think we're all waiting to hear from the people who ordered them right away, to see if it's really as wonderful as it seems or if we'd be wasting our time. I'm quite excited, however. :3 I want to preorder Er way soon! :aheartbea
       
    31. I'm kinda thinking about preordering or ordering if/when I hear back again from the sellers I've contacted. I figure I can put it on a credit card through paypal and if things begin to look fishy hopefully I'd be able to dispute the charge.
       
    32. You can find more links if you search google for "Abio Angel" in quotes

      I translated the text from one auction with Google translator:

    33. AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HE IS FINALLY HERE!!!!!

      Stupid new years means that he would have been delivered on friday but everything went sour with no one being home, and then he couldn't be delivered on monday because it was a public holiday... but mum just gave me a call and said he arrived today!!!!!!

      *soooo excited*
      I'll take lots of pictures when I do get home, which should be about 9.30 - 10 pm Aussie time (gmt +10) because i am currently at my boyfriends house, recovering from new years, and it takes about 2 hours to get home.

      !!!!
       

    34. OMG! This is such great news and in 2007 as well! :D Can't wait to see the photos!!:fangirl:
       
    35. I love abio angel!!:aheartbea
      I want to know who is this?
      [​IMG]
      He is so cute!!What is his name?
       
    36. I do believe that's San. :3

      I'm all over this, yo. XD SOMEBODY TELL ME HOW TO ORDER! XDDDD; Except I think Er is sold out... does anyone know when the next shipment of them is (with the neeeeew resin, oooers!)?
       
    37. Do you all know if there's any pre-ordering available through any of the sellers/middlepeople? And any dates yet about when they'll be available again?

      That picture of the body, is it a new body? It looks less delicate to me but I'm wondering if it's because of the photography more than anything...
       
    38. For china sellers, they mostly sell on pre-order basis and for that seller...
      I trried contacting her but she has not replied my message which I left 1 month plus ago...
      from the other messages that ppl left...
      it seems she only does bulk orders...

      For china sellers now...
      the price is abt 113 USD (new body) before shipping...

      For Taiwan sellers...
      The price is abt 164 USD before shipping...
       
    39. does anyone know the price for a AA doll with WHITE skin tone? as i understood white skin ones would cost a little more?
       
    40. I don't think I've seen a white skintone doll even once yet. o_O
       
    41. Wait, I just read that Lanna said there was a new body, and I am confused. Can someone please link pictures of the old and new bodies, I'd really appericiate it. And the new bodies are only available in January? Will they ever be available after that? Are they limited editions? Do they cost the same? Are both body types available from Cat's Garden? (When I eventualy order one, it will be from her because she has been so helpful to this thread.)

      Also, i know someone posted this somewhere, (but i can't find it) but could I please get a re-post of all of the names in kanji (or whatever they call it)
       

    42. Body of boy & girl (suspected to be in the new body but not confirmed)
      http://page11.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/n46078025

      The new body is not a limited edition and it is still in production now, and wouldn't be available till Febuary. It should be an improvement over the older body, thus there is also an increase in price. Cat's Garden should have both body type, unless Lanna ordered the old body in bulk, they will most likely be sold out. But you can still pre-order the new body from her.

      currently, Er had some problems with his head-cap, so it has stopped production. The workshop will start selling it as soon as they've solved the problem.

      &#22869; (Yi - stands for 1 in chinese)
      [​IMG]

      &#29669; (Er - Two)

      &#26441; (San - Three)

      &#20940; (Ling - Zero)

      Hope it helps ;)
       
    43. Mata,

      I've got my San yesterday!! (exciting) And I think they are the same case.
      I don't know what problem with previous product but now I get the child. ^__^///







      I was pleasantly surprised the body stand tightly!*O* And he can make some special pose~XDDDD

      But, about the face...I think I will polish his eyeshole cause of the resin too thick...Q^Q~
       
    44. oh no, yi is so pretty! T_T so what comes with ordering a doll, any wig/eyes/clothes?
       
    45. I'm not sure what is included with them all, All I know is I was offered eyes and a wig (My choice) for 30 extra, bringing the whole doll to 250 (Doll, snow skin, shipping, wig and eyes) But since this goes though different sellers, who really knows.
       
    46. sigh, if only they would have an official site. is this doll company a limited?
       
    47. As far as I know, 's not a limited--but they do seem to be having alot of problems with production? And they do small batches, so while I think AA keeps making more dolls, they're kind of in and out of availability. :3
       
    48. Well, it is also kinda hard/annoying to order, cause you have to go though a seller.. Then they have to order the dolls. ::sigh:: Ahh well she said 2 weeks, I shall hope for 2 weeks
       
    49. ^_^ I'm weird arn't I, I jsut e-mailed Rose_romance and did the whole thing over e-mail ^_^ ::dance:: and I got to pick the pretty wig and eyes for 30 extra (And I really don't care if thats alot.. I only paid 250! For a snow skin Yi, his eyes, his wig, shipping, and paypal fees. Soo even if I didn't do all that great, I am still very happy with the outcome! now.. just to wait for him)
       
    50. I have downloaded some pics to post and have a list of links along with general information. Please let me know if any of my information is wrong and I will change this post.

    51. wrenbe: Thanks for the compilation! Just fyi ^^ the girl after er should be jiu (as in the number 9), not jui (as in... not the number 9? lol)

      Oh, and just in case anyone is curious, this is how the names = numbers so far:

      Boys
      0 = Ling (don't ask me why they have a boy named zero/nothing)
      1 = Yi
      2 = Er
      3 = San

      Girls
      8 = Ba
      9 = Jiu
      10 = Shi
       
    52. Wrenbe! Thank you! Now we can all keep track of who is who... :3
       
    53. Well, he doesn't LOOK like Zacky, yet.... He is currently wearing a Volks multi shade wig, and a shirt from Volks too I think.... But changes they are a coming... In his arms is my daughter's Wishel, Kristinna.

      [​IMG]
       
    54. Yep, i couldn't chose. So i got Shi, Yi, and San. Here is a pic or two of her. I had to rush to find her some eyes, a wig and made her a dress. then i realized she has nipples...oh my.x.
      [​IMG]
      [​IMG]
       
    55. Does anyone have the measurements for the girl body?
