The company only has a Chinese website as of today (and I cannot even find the dolls on it!)

Old link to a BBS page that seems to have many more doll photos - give the photos a chance to load and scroll down:

They actually appear to have varying eye size - some look like 18mm and some look smaller. But I only found the one group of measurements in Chinese text form (not in picture) on another BBS:

Here is the taobao Chinese online shop - 3 pages of listings:

The BBS page noted in the first message of the thread is back up. There are some boy pictures mixed in there.

They apparently remade their girl body because there were complaints that the body was too ugly-- so the body shown in the news thread is the new one. The pictures in the forum post are of the old body. I think they might be remaking the boy body, too? (That would be awesome, since the boy bodies are kind of... grody to me.) I haven't signed up to their official forum to read around yet. I really like Min.

Their posing looks GREAT. I really hope the new bodies retain the posing ability of the old ones.

**Carolyn.S** · 05-31-2007 11:23 PM

I like the young-looking one who is modeling a lot of the outfits, but I don't see her offered as a doll - hopefully she's one of their heads. I think she would be a cute doll for my niece.

Opal - the doll names are with the photos here:

I am kinda attracted to the old body girl doll with smaller eyes who models a lot of their clothing on taobao - her name is May. but it is unclear whether she will still be sold. She would be cute for my niece. She is shown in the top photos on this page:

My boy in China just ordered one of these absolutely lovely ladies for me.

I'll keep in touch + let you guys know when she arrives at his place,
he will take pictures for me before sending her on to me
(I live in USA most of the time)

Here is a link to their Chinese shop:

AE is preparing their new girl and boy body and it will be double jointed,so they stoped other works for it.maybe in the new year you will see it soon~
they will not open the international shop impermanently because they want improve their dolls first, they think it's the most important thing they should to do.please wait for a while~^__^
sorry my english is not very well,I hope you can understand me....>__<

**Tsukichan** · 01-01-2008 10:02 AM

er...it's me again~
Maybe after finish the preparing of new bodies,AE will show other new dolls--a girl,a boy and babies,even an animal~XD
It's pity that nobody knows their appearance...
After them AE will have an official site I think there is an English version too~
(although they're AE's plan at present they may change by some undefinite states)

**chingchungwingwung** · 01-02-2008 10:05 AM

Like many start-ups in China, Asleep Eidolon sells their products on Taobao.com They might be concentrating their effort building their Chinese site first since it's less logistically challenging (payment, shipping, question and answer, etc...) than international sales. They did, however, adjusted their price upward by about 10% starting new year. This is happening across the board with many Chinese companies as inflation in Chinese hit hard in 2007. But even with the price hike, I think relatively speak, the quality of the dolls and the prices they are at makes them superior compared to most dolls out there.

Please note, I don't have any special connection to AE. I know and speak Chinese and I frequent Taobao. These are just my observations by from visiting various sellers on taobao.

**nanak0** · 01-04-2008 12:38 PM

Does anyone know the name of this doll?
http://72.14.203.104/translate_c?hl=...language_tools
I didn't see it anywhere, she is so cute I can't wait for there to be an English site. X3
btw: does anyone know the prices 800 yuan it said? the translator said about $110 but i dont't know if that is correct (does it include eyes, wig, make up)?

The price of AE doll is 880 yuan(about $120),it include eyes(random color),a mask,a trestle,2 cushions.(wig and make up are not included.)
The price will rise for the new body.
Hope my answer could help you

A little update on North American sales of these dolls can be found in the news section here: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/sh...34#post2815734

**Carolyn.S** · 02-21-2008 02:01 PM

This is a place where you can chat about the news that Mint on a Card is becoming a North American dealer for the Asleep Eidolon dolls. (not supposed to chat in regular News topic)

Here is the News Thread:
http://www.denofangels.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=192439

I think it's great that the Asleep Eidolon dolls will finally be available in the US.

I am going to answer this here rather then in the original News thread since it is a general 'chatty' question rather then a purchase question.

It's my understanding that the founders/owners of AEdoll went to art school together and majored in sculpting. Rather then hire sculptors like many BJD companies do they themselves are the sculptors. I would assume that the dolls have different looks because they are being sculpted by several different people and as artists they also want to try new things and create new looks.

Ok, here are some pics of AE doll next to various other dolls for resin comparison. I wanted to take these pictures during the day in natural light but there just never seems to be enough hours in the day.

So....these pictures were taken in the evening using flash.

Yes, that is the old body. I'll be sure to let everyone know if the resin color differs at all with the new body.

**G_Rocka** · 04-18-2008 01:34 PM

Anyone know what clothes the girls can fit, they seem pretty slim... narae/unoa clothes??!

**Carolyn.S** · 04-18-2008 02:18 PM

AE double-jointed girl
--------------------
Height: 43cm
Neck circumference: 6.8cm
Shoulder to Neck: 5.5cm
Chest: 16.5cm small (17.5 large may only be special ordered)
Waist: 12.5cm
Hip: 18cm
Leg Length: 20cm
Feet: 5cm

In cm...
Small bust is .5 less than Narae
Large Bust is .5 larger than Narae and .5 less than Unoa large bust
Waist is .7 less than Narae and .2 less than Unoa (based on my own measurement of Unoa's waist)
Hips are 1 less than Narae and Unoa

But yes - Unoa/Narae would be about the right size clothing though shoes may be big if the feet are really only 5cm (.5 smaller than Narae).
