The Smart Doll Online Store has a new feature unlocked - the dreaded pre-order countdown which is currently activated for Dauntless for the next 24 hours. Whether she stays on as a frontline member is based mainly on two factors - how many were sold during the pre-order period and how good she was at new customer acquisition. Characters who have been more successful in new customer acquisition will have a survival advantage over characters who sold more in quantity but didn't do as well in crea

Monday is in the middle of having her face electroplated for the paint masks. Meanwhile we continue to prototype with the Monday head mold. This girl has been so much fun to photograph! She looks so cheeky and playful and has already picked up bad habits of wiping her golden nuggets on the nearest hard surface - as a present for her fellow humans to encounter. Don’t you hate it when you find them on the bottom of your seat? We do have a name for her in mind but can you guess what we decided to Art Dolls, Dolls, Golden Nugget, Present For Her, Presents For Her, Bad Habits, Ball Jointed Dolls, Cute Dolls

Japanese Fashion Style

Envisage sporting a prototype of the Mori Girl set comprised of a long shirt, baggy T-shirt and flare bottoms. "Mori Girl" (森ガール) is a Japanese fashion style that represents "a girl living in the forest" which is typically loose fitting with earthly type colors. Envisage was supposed to be released early this week but we've had issues on the online store which took longer to fix than expected. I didn't mention anything because I thought I'd be able to fix the issues but right at the last minute

A suggestion on Instagram comments by @miciahcarter for completely white eyes - so here they are. We prototyped two versions so far - one that was solid white - and another that had an acrylic dome to give it more of a translucent feel just like the regular eyes. I think it looks great for those "awakened" scenes. These are still resin prototypes so we need to figure if we can get them looking decent in acrylic before they go to market. We have come across some issues (the indent on the white ac

Smart Doll design philosophy is based on the Japanese Wabi-Sabi principle which states that true beauty can only be attained with a correlate amount of imperfection. This principle is grounded in not only the design of our apparel but also for our Smart Dolls too. @studiocomcast on Instagram reminds us that its World Vitiligo Day on the 25th June. The following taken from Wikipedia. "The World Vitiligo Day, observed on June 25, is an initiative aimed to build global awareness about vitiligo. Vit

Technological Singularity

The Singularity

Mirror Universe

Battle Of The Planets

The anime style won over semi-real in the battle of the planets (the one who gets released first) and we have a name for her - Singularity - as in the singularity inside a black hole. Her product detail page is now up in the "coming soon" section of the Smart Doll online store - if you are interested in getting hold of Interstellar Blue Edition limited run then sign up for the email alerts - please read the email alert blurb before using the function. Option parts will be released at the same ti

The slush cast mold for Monday is ready! The first step was to check the surface of the cast to make sure that it didn't have too many blemishes - if it did then we would have to patch the inside of the mold and give it another round of sandblasting because patching leaves a shiny surface. Sandblasting is the process that gives a vinyl cast its matte finish. Some blemishes that look like bumps or dents may be left as it is as we see it as a signature from mother nature. The surface turned out f

Shirt Design

OK - I'm working on the T-shirt design. for Smart Doll. Replace Line One and Two with some text. If you don't need line two then I will translate line one into Japanese. Can I keep the colors as is or need to add/minus some? Be my sensei. #tokyo #smartdoll #anime #manga #doll #bjd #fashion #3dprinting #fashiondoll #dollphoto #dollphotography #dollphotographer #dollfashion #bjdphotography #japan

Britannia Dress prototype looking good on Resilient. Would you like to see any other Earth or intergalactic inspired flag variations? Speaking of intergalactic, I need to come up with a logo for the Interstellar Blue lineup soon... Oh and if you are wondering why Britannia - I was born and raised in London Hackney but moved to Japan in the late 90's. I saw Union Jack souvenirs in London's West End all the time but didn't think that I would end up making some myself. I do miss the UK and can't wa

the superman movie action figure is in its plastic package with other accessories and packaging on the table

Sorry to keep you waiting...longer ;-) The DC heroines that we have chosen to get the Smart Doll treatment all involve accessories and armor of the type that we have not made before. The Supergirl belt for example is made from Beta Titanium in Sabae Japan but to work out what material worked best in the surface texture and weathered tone that we wanted involved many a prototype. Covid19 increased the prototyping period due to reduced factory operation hours. The S logo may look simple but was ch

It took ages to get the whiskers and face palette right for Prowess Tea and I don't think we would have done it sooner unless we developed the yellow anime style eyes for the Interstellar Blue line. I’ll proceed to make these eyes for her but do I need to make extra to sell them separately too? #tokyo #smartdoll #anime #manga #doll #bjd #fashion #3dprinting #fashiondoll #dollphoto #dollphotography #dollphotographer #dollfashion #bjdphotography #japan

The production version of Dauntless is ready and we have a date for pre-orders. She is just so stunning! Where there is a will, there is a way - but you have to have the will to find the way. Once you found your way much fear you shall encounter. Embrace your fear, with Dauntless you will conquer. I know that does not rhyme but that was the best I could do. To help you realize that the person in your way is you. #tokyo #smartdoll #anime #manga #doll #bjd #fashion #3dprinting #fashiondoll #doll

Resilient Tea looks so cute too! Looks like she's wearing a production sample of a T-shirt inspired by and created to remind haters that their comments are "highly valued" and that the Smart Doll official response (cos we don't have a PR department) will always be Deal👏🏾With👏🏽it 👏🏼Yo👏. I just realized I forgot to add the "yo” to the Tee design. Tee made in Kyushu Japan and printed in Asakusa Tokyo. Resilient Tea will come with the new Semi-real Emerald Eyes which were designed for Daunt
