My Smart Doll! :D box opening

[davidd]

Sorry for bumping an old thread guys, I just had to !

And now I shall resurrect this dormant topic a year and a half after the last late post!


My first Smart Doll arrived recently. I have not yet had a chunk of time to sit down with her and unbox her properly. After seeing Missy_Crane's post, I have a better idea of how to snap some unboxing photos.

After seeing this topic, I'm also wondering if Ebony should have been my choice. But once I unbox my doll, Symphony, I'm sure I will be happy with her.

As others have said, seemingly interminable time spent saving, and a lot of eBay selling, was involved in my Smart Doll purchase.

The Smart Doll tote bag design has changed. It no longer features the cute little chibi figure illustration, just simple "Smart Doll" lettering.

A basic Smart Doll (currently 52,000 yen / $465 USD) arrives wearing only a "sports bra" and panties. A standard clothing outfit that includes a top, bottom, and shoes adds 10,000 yen / $90 to the price. Additional clothing pieces are available from the Smart Doll store at various, but fairly high (compared to what I'm accustomed to), prices.

As of this posting (October 2018) there are 23 Smart Doll variations available, with three skin tones: milk, tea (like Ebony in this post), and cocoa. Of the 23 versions currently available, 2 are boys, the rest are girls.

UPDATE:

A few unboxing photos of my second* Smart Doll, Harmony, in the "cocoa" skin tone:

Yikes! Her head comes off!


Double Yikes! She, like, totally comes apart! And she has a weird internal skeleton!


Okay, she's back together. Smart Doll comes apart to make dressing her easier


"Enough nonsense. Would you help me with my hair now, please?"

* Smart Doll No. 1 has not yet been fully unboxed. Life is unfair sometimes.
