Cheap as, nothing like the picture that was sent in, wouldn’t refund anything when I wasn’t happy with the quality. It was also nothing like the picture on the website. Save your money, don’t bother.

This was a terrible quality product for over $50, please don't waste your money. See photos for what I ordered, compared to what I got. Scam hidden in plain sight.

Don't waste your money please – The artists are able to get the image from picture well...but the translation from that to the final.product with a company in China is where it becomes rubbish. They give excuses like it's a cartoon etc...but total waste of time.

I don't know why so many bad reviews – I recieved the bobblehead late and ordered before reading all these reviews so was really worried what I was going to get. Once I did get it and opened the package I loved it. I found it wrapped well and had fragile written on the box so if someone has had it sent broken it definitely wouldn't be the company's fault as they package it well. I sent… Read more

2 rough photos of my brother as they asked for of side view and front and they got it right. The only problem I have is the lateness as I've had to give it to my brother a month after his birthday. Once again I love it and I do see a resemblance to my brother and I know he'll love it when I give it to him. Personally I think all these negative reviews are just people being too fussy or maybe I just got lucky. I'd order from them again but just much earlier.

Looks absolutely nothing like the photos I sent – Absolutely appalling. The bobble heads look absolutely nothing like myself or my mother. Extremely disappointed. We have blonde hair and the bobble heads both came with dark brown. Not sure how they could’ve got that wrong after sending many photos. ORDER BX3850

Trash – This is a scam company - I am a nut for not reading these reviews BEFORE I ordered something. I thankfully paid with Paypal - hopefull I will get a refund as I cancelled the order when they couldn't get it right. They kept saying they changed the bobblehead per my photo - but kept sending the same image saying they made the changes. I sent them… Read more

a photo of a gorgeous young girl, and what I got back was something that looked like a template that looked nothing like the photo I sent them. Each time they said they changed it, I got the exact same photo back. Then they had the cheek to say they would only refund part of the amount I paid due to all the time the artist spent on the image - WHAT A SCAM! Absolute waste of time and so disappointed as this was supposed to be a special Christmas gift. I don't believe the positive reviews on this website - I believe they are from related parties based on my experience.

Disgraceful Company – Horrible product and the worst customer service ever!!! The doll looks nothing at all like the photo I sent them, there is no resemblance to the person at all. They constantly ignored or missed my requests for changes, then ended up going to final production off a proof they had not even sent me for checking. Even though I could evidence through… Read more

the chain of emails that the errors made were on their part, they refused to provide any refund or correct the product unless I paid an additional charge ... absolute fraudsters and scammers. I even have an email where they flat-out bold-faced lied to me. For a company that claims to be Australian, it would seem from their emails that English is likely a second language. Don't go near this company, they are an absolute disgrace!!!!!!

Terrible! – Wanted my young daughter as a bobble head but it looks like an old woman instead. And they got the hair colour wrong. I don't recommend at all! $180 down the drain. All they will do is a 10% off next purchase, fat chance I'll be buying from them again.

Will definitely ruin your special occasion – My doll was ordered as a father's day gift. Not even look close with the picture I provided. Waste of money and time. Asked for refund and the response was very obvious. NO WE CAN'T

Make one yourself you will do a better job - complete junk – Second everyone else sentiments. Months and months of delay for a terrible product. Honestly either burn your money or have a go at making one yourself. Either outcome will be better than anything you get from bobble head.

Do not buy if you need it on time!! Horrible customer service!!! – I bought this as a gift for my supervisor that was leaving. I paid for the VIP service and the rush shipping to get it to them on time. It still hadn't arrived 2 weeks later and I requested a refund. After all my supervisor was no longer with the company and I just wasted money on a gift I can't give because I will no longer see them. MULTIPLE… Read more

TIMES I requested a refund in the back and forth communication. All they do is stall in regards to sending you waste of time emails while they try to push out the product 2 weeks later, just to tell you it shipped and they can't refund you any longer. I'm usually a cool, calm, and casual person that doesnt right reviews good or bad. But this was the worst experience ever. If I could blast this review on every site to help save people's money....I would!!!

DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY - READ THE REVIEWS – Bought 3 bobbleheads that look nothing like the people, it was embarrassing to give to them as gifts because it confused the people getting the gift. Customer Service is terrible - took a week back and forth of not addressing my concerns to say that I approved two of the bobbleheads when I did not...said that they sent me three links to approve… Read more

the dolls and I approved them all together when that was not true.... I told them to check the actual links they sent me and if they still didnt see that the links were not correct to let me know....they just didnt respond at all and shipped them anyway.

One clearly has blue eyes in the photo and they have made the eyes brown. One has long hair, yet the person does not have long hair in the photo. The quality of this product is nothing like as advertised on their website. Dont be fooled.

They have setup the website to lure people in making it look like they are an Australian business....but beware they are NOT and so customers have no consumer protections....they are just taking peoples money...that is how they get away with providing products not as advertised.

Bobblehead sent with incorrect hair colour – As part of the order images were supplied which showed the person had silvery/blonde hair and a fair complexion. The image you are sent to approve of the head is before hair is added and the complexion looked fine. When the doll arrived however the doll looked like it had olive skin tones and the hair was brown!. This was meant for a Christmas… Read more

gift and given current worldwide shipping delays another would not be received in time. I requested a full refund of the price of the doll and this was denied. I was initially offered a 20% refund, after pushback from me this was changed to 30% and then after further pushback asking for a full refund I was offered 40%. The doll cost $139.99AU plus extra for shipping and quicker service and now I am out of pocket the remaining 60% plus another present as I can’t give the person a doll of themself when the hair is the wrong colour.

Their customer service was prompt but refund is not sufficient when the issue with the doll is no fault of my own. I am very disappointed and would not recommend. I would give 0 stars if I could.

Absolutely disgusting and unprofessional – Asked for a custom Bobblehead for a dark skin person and Bobblehead turned out white and looks nothing like the photo. After over 50 emails they sent me another which was worse than the first one and broken. I requested for a full refund multiple times and they ignored me and eventually offered a 20% refund. It's a dodgy company outsourced to Hong… Read more

Kong. Don't buy from them and support local businesses. If I could give this zero stars I would. Their website is also very deceiving and shows people with dark skin when they don't do that.

Love it – I just received my bobble head and its awesome, I was really nervous after all these negative reviews i read after ordering!!!!. I had requested a gold coast suns uniform instead of the other AFL samples. The delay in support and postage tracking was making be a bit suspicious but I could not be happier, its excellent. a good likeness and great quality.

Trash that's where it ended up! – I paid nearly $200 for a bobblehead gift and it arrived broken, the beard looks drawn on with texta, the name that was supposed to written was not put on the plaque rather stuck on as a printed label not even on the plaque, the name that they wrote on the bottom plaque looks like a child wrote it and it is misspelled, I also never saw the… Read more

completed body or the head so had no idea they screwed up this badly. The hair they made dark brown and my husband is almost completely white and has very little hair left. I asked more than 5 times throughout the process to change the nose and other features in which every image they sent back looked like no changes were made. It looks nothing like the person its supposed to and I sent them so many pictures. I just cried when I saw this and realised Id thrown away my money when I threw it in the bin. After more than 15 emails back and forth they refused to let me send it back and get a refund, the most they would offer is a 35% refund. I would strongly discourage any purchase from this company. By far the worst online purchase ever and the first time I have ever written a review in my life an absolute disappointment.

Arent we all the suckers!!!

Total fail! – I wish I had been on this website prior to placing my order! As I can read, I am not the only one having issues with this company! I've place my order making specific requests about color of the cap, the color of the skin(my husband is Sri Lankan) and a message meant to be engraved... I have received a product that look nothing like my picture,… Read more

with white skin, black cap and no engraved message. At 170$, I'm gutted! Their customer service is hopeless and they have offered me 15 then 30% refund...I've asked for a full refund. I have called Consumer Affairs Victoria but they can't help much... I have now lodged a request for a refund with Paypal... wish me good luck people!!

EDIT: I’ve managed to get a full refund by lodging a claim with PayPal, minus the shipping fees. Very good outcome with their buyer protection!!! I encourage anybody to do the same.

Worst Chinese product ever – Australian company but outsourced to China! Poorly made cheap looking, supposed to be custom made bobblehead! After continual emails chasing it up found it was being made and shipped from China to an Australian address in Sydney! Absolutely disgusted!

How do you stuff up a persons race – I ordered this bubble head back in October 2020 for Christmas 2020 the first one was lost in transit apparently I have just received my second order which I had to pay an extra $25 for shipping and they have completely stuffed it. It looks cheap and poorly made. The beard looks like it's been scribbled on with a pencil. And to top it all off it's… Read more

white. My friend whom I had this made for is black. How do you miss a persons race!!! After all the drama of getting it in the first place I cannot be bothered sending a back and my friend has accepted it with my apology.

Will never go through this company again – Wish I had read reviews earlier! Worst customer service. Bobble head didn’t look like the photos I sent several times. Didn’t send a pic of final product before sending it out to me. Claimed I never responded within 24hrs, but I did, several times!!!! Wouldn’t recommend to anyone!

Worst company ever – The Product came in pieces and looked nothing like the photos sent. They have stopped replying to my emails .and would only offer a 15 percent discount .

Do not use this company poor quality – I purchased a custom design. Despite sending several photos of my husband. They made the likeness with black hair and my husband is BALD. I have sent multiple emails etc and have not received any refunds! Poor customer service and they just keep giving me the run around. Avoid this company.

Wouldn’t buy anything from them – Purchased a bobble head from them and followed the process. I ended up receiving a bobble head with features that I didn’t approve. Requested a full refund and they continue to ignore my requests. Do not use this company. Plenty of better options out there

HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT – I contacted the site before ordering to explain I wanted a 100% custom bobblehead doll of my husband back in the 70's. To assist I wanted to send more than the 2 photos that they allow on their site when placing the order. They said to put the order in and send the email at the same time. I did everything they said to do. When I followed up… Read more

they said the email may not have gone to the production area at the same time as the order and they couldn't guarantee what I would get. It was to be a surprise Christmas present. It did arrive Christmas eve. I was so excited and then so disappointed. It looked nothing like the photos I had supplied. I showed it to a few family and friends and they were asking me what it was and why did I have it. So there was no recognition at all as to who it was supposed to be. I contacted them and said I was not asking for a refund but to receive the product they said they could produce. They just kept saying they were sorry they couldn't do anything and offered me 10% of the purchase price which barely covered freight. After going back and forth I was given 15% refund which was not the point. I ended up with no Christmas present for my husband and it was a massive let down. Stay away from them.

MISTAKE – It is such a shame I just discovered this web site. The worst experience ever. It takes forever to receive the order. The doll does not look like a person at all!!! And when I submitted a request they don't reply anymore. Based in China. I will be submitting official customer complain.

Arrived broken – Arrived broken...which is the delivery companies fault not the company that makes it. I sent an email to custom bobble heads to say that I loved the product otherwise, but could they pass on the complaint to the delivery company/companies about it being broken (I don’t know which ones they use between Hong Kong and Brisbane). They sent back an… Read more

email saying “Great!! Your order was delivered on (date) please check your porch area and places it may have fallen into”... they thought I was complaining that I hadn’t received it. They obviously do not understand English, or even try to, so don’t bother emailing them if something goes wrong!!

Total rip off – I wish that I had seen all these reviews before I ordered with this company. I thought they were in Australia and paid extra to receive my bobble head quickly, but found out later they are based in China, when it took weeks to arrive. My custom bobble head is shockingly bad...so bad, that I’m embarrassed to give it to my husband for Christmas. … Read more

I’ve contacted them for a refund but they’ve just replied, ignoring my request, but letting me know they’ve passed my complaint. Total and utter waste of almost $200. Steer clear of this company.

Scam company. Avoid at all cost – This company took my money and sent the incorrect bobble head. As pointed out in previous reviews, they send the product before sending through their final proof photo. When you complain they offer a 10% refund even though their policy states a full refund if the wrong item is sent. They don't speak English so complaining over e-mail is an… Read more

absolute headache. They clearly use another company and are the middle man so have no control over their products. They claim to be an Australian company but are actually located in Hong Kong. Scam company, avoid at all cost.
