[Update on 14th.November]

Please note that all the minimee orders are made based on pictures or drawings not a previously made sculpt.

We want to clear about this.
Sometimes, each minimee heads can be very similiar looking when customers use the same pictures.
But do not misunderstand that the minimee was based on someone's minimee.

At the moment, due to the long queue of waiting list for make up, we cannot take make up option.

MINIMEE Heads

Delivery : 60 days after getting your photos & Payment.

Customer make up : Due to a long queue of minimee make up, we can't take the order for it this year.

*For Celebrity(Including Animation character) : ADD : Extra cost 50$(Maximum 80&#37



**Important**

There is no way to cancel the minimee order once it's being progressed.



Dear Customer,

If you are interested in ordering a celebrity BJD.

I cannot guarantee the over 80% resemblance.
And I don't want to take very sophisticated requests on minimee.


For example, Make the eyes like this photo, the lip is for this photo etc on.
I am very sure that the customer, who reqests much, can be disappointed at the end becuase their expectation is too high.

we can make minimee like maximum 80% or less resemblance, but We can't do the same as photos.
We do make minimee in that price range(380$ to 430$). So if your expectation is too high, that should go over a thousand dollar.

In addition, Please do not send many photos of different look.
We only need several front(Including close-up), both sides(45 degree) photos only.

If you are sending me various photos, please select one main reference photo for your minimee to be looked like.

Thank you very much.

[Please read this before ordering]

1. I would like to add some comments regarding the minimee.
Please note that each minimee can have a little flawes.
as you perhaps know, one sculpt takes many days enormous efforts before producing. this is the thing that we normally see manufacturers' doll.
However, this minimee can't be done like the normal BJD production.
that means we need to make it faster than normal.
so there can be little flaws on head like tiny spot or something.
I am sure this kinds of things can be covered with make up and a wig.

2. Modification
I prefer not to have requests on modification.
Because the works will be much harder finally. That means I should raise the price.
The nomal price was used to be around 600$ and at that time I offered modification.
However, the 380$, if I take modification a lot, I am afraid I can't keep this project any more becuase of the heavy work.
Therefore, I will do modification service with some extra cost.
(It depends on the minimee and requirment of minimee)

Why I start this project ? Because I am very happy when people enjoy and laugh. that is the main reason.
We have several sculptors who are working on this projects but can't tell you the names.
Very talented sculptors are working with me at the moment.
so to keep this project working, I need to take monthly orders for the sculptors.
(I would be very greatful if you can let people know about this project in your country ^^)

In fact, the works will be so hard...I know.
Pricing.....I don't know yet....but trying not to put too high price on this.

You know, the BJD Minimee would be this.
With detailed photos(need at least 10 photos, from front to Side)
And start making sculpt of your wishes face.(Let's put your face).

So....every orders should be the one original sculping. (I know this is hard working ^^)
But....with peoples' opinion, if there are good reaction, I'll try.
Perhaps, I can start with launching event for very limited numbers with special price.
And when it's done, people can see how the quality is and how the doll look like.....comparing with custom orders.

Anyway, it seem to me that.....there are certain interesting...

Of course, because of its BJD, your twin BJD Doll would look better.
Because...the eyes...^^ make up would look better.

This is planning step. and want to hear more......^^

 

What price you would suggest ?

*45cm high body(BJD)
*Default Clothes
*Your faced head with make up

Making period : at least 50days per each sculpt.

Let me hear....what price would make you order...your Minimee ?

 

it's depends on how you look like...
I guest it will be realistic head because the scult is made based on your photos.
Making styles ...it's for Clothes, wig...make up....with these....you can make good style.
