Usaggie Dolls

Dear Readers,

A few months ago I decided to get a new type of doll, Usaggie Model 028, which was released on March 2016 by Petworks, the same company that makes Momoko dolls.  I was intrigued by these cute rabbits and I didn't quite know if I would like them.

"Usagi" means rabbit in Japanese and these Usaggie dolls have the head of a rabbit and share the same body as Odeco-chan and Nikki dolls.   They also share the same body as Kumabolo dolls which are the bear figures that Petworks also produces.

You can read more about the dolls created by Petwork on their official website Petworks Doll Division.  It's called "Doll Division" because Petworks is actually a Software company but they also have a division dedicated to make dolls (^_^).

The Usaggie dolls are all sold without any clothes and the ears and head plate are usually not installed on the doll so you have to put them on the doll yourself (although the most recent model I received did have her ears installed on her already as you can see in the picture below).  Included in the box are two patterns to make a dress and overalls.


I bought Ussagie 028 on the website Ami Ami but I know older models of Usaggie are also available on the Petworks Store Global when still in stock and on Ebay as well.


I must say I was underwhelmed at first sight but once I gave her some clothes, I liked her very much and I decided to buy more Usaggie dolls and one Kumabolo doll :)

The shoes that can fit them are from (again, not all shoes will fit):

- DecoNiki shoes (official shoes made by Petworks)
- Strawberry Shortcake
- Licca
- Only Hearts Club

I bought 8 pairs of DecoNiki Shoes from the Petworks Store Global and there were quite affordable at only 648 Japanese Yen per pair.  They fit Usaggie and Kumabolo the best and I love that there were geta (shoes for kimono) available as well!


Since I did not have any official clothing items from Petworks for my Usaggie, I tried many type of doll clothes on her.   Here below are some of the outfits that do fit Usaggie more or less.  The fit is not perfect but some pieces can work:

- Vi and Va 
- Picco Neemo
- Madeline from Eden
- Licca
- Only Hearts Club
- BFC Ink

Vi and Va dresses are a perfect fit but the shoes from Strawberry Shortcake can be sometimes too big. 

Dresses from Picco Neemo are too tight (they won't close in the back) but look good from the front.  The shirt if from BFC Ink dolls which are now discontinued but fit Kumabolo like a glove.

They can also fit most Madeline outfits from Eden.


They also fit some Licca clothes and shoes.



They also fit Only Hearts Club clothes like the ballet outfit!


But I think they look best in custom-made clothes that fit them perfectly.  I bought dresses for them on Etsy.  They can wear the same dresses as Middie Blythe dolls too but not the same pants!

Do you like Usaggie and Kumabolo dolls?

  4. These are BEAUTIFUL! They remind me of some art from a book I have 'The Vintage Tea Party' - the author is a delightful artist and draws bunnies and foxes dressed up in very elegant clothes. The outfits are amazing, I really love these dolls!

  5. Elles sont très mignonnes comme poupées. C'est une découverte pour moi, je n'en ai pas vu ailleurs que sur ton blog. Tes photos sont sublimes, j'aime beaucoup la salle de danse.
    Les petites chaussures sont irrésistibles ^^

  7. Such delicate animal dolls. I have not seen them anywhere before!

    I love the Alice in Wonderland scene, it's awesome. :D
    The most fitting scenes, in my opinion, are the ones at the ballet studio, since the rabbits have such long and delicate arms and legs. :)

  14. I've been surfing online more than 4 hours today, yet I never
    found any interesting article like yours. It's pretty worth enough for me.

    Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the net will be much more useful than ever before.
