My Smart Doll! :D box opening

[Alliecat]

Wow.
She's got some serious SASS.
Sounds like her personality will be a great match for her faceup. This girl looks like she gonna take no crap from nobody
What's this about being in a box all year?? You haven't had her since December?????!!

I did not think it had been that long, but yes, the postmark indicates last December.

No waiting this time; Cocoa Mirai arrived today, and here she is:

Culture Japan shipping carton for a single doll

Upon opening the shipping carton, this is what you see: a canvas bag bearing

the "Keep Calm and Carry a SmartDoll" logo, which is a parody of a British

Second World War motivational slogan

If you open the box from the other side, this is what you will see. The stylized 

"CJ" logo stands for "Culture Japan," the company behind the Smart Doll

Peeking in to the bag: Smart Doll and her box of goodies (stand, wig, and any extras purchased with the doll)

Close-up of the doll in her bag, securely wrapped in plastic wrap for shipment

Bubblewrap wrapped Smart Doll

Plastic wrap inside the bubble wrap to keep your Smart Doll safe during shipment

"Emerging from the Bag" photos are something of a Smart Doll trope
Wild-haired Emerging from the Bag photos have become a Dollie Dungeon trope

Escaping from the Bag is something most Smart Dolls can't wait to do

The newer Smart Doll stand has been modified from the original version; it now has a pointed black rubber tip

as compared to the earlier clear-coated flat tip

A soft abrasive sponge is provided with "cocoa" tone Smart Dolls to buff out

scuffs and scratches. According to Culture Japan, the "cocoa" vinyl surface is more

susceptible to visible scratches than are the other Smart Doll colors

ACHTUNG! Uhm... Japanese dolls with German instructions? Should we be

concerned about a regrouping of the Axis powers?    Oh well, keep calm and

DON'T FEED THEM AFTER MIDNIGHT!

"May I change in to my REAL wig now, please?"

Goggles: CHECK!

Leather belts: CHECK!

Unidentifiable metal device: CHECK!

Gratuitous display of cleavage: CHECK!

It's... STEAMPUNK SMART DOLL!!!

Today's new arrivals: Smart Doll Cocoa Mirai and Panasonic Lumix TS30A Camera

Does she have a name? Yes... but that will be revealed later.

Does she have orange (or green) overalls? No, or at least, not yet.

Were these photos taken with the new camera? No; it literally arrived by UPS during this unboxing photo session.

Will she be the last Smart Doll to join The Dollie Dungeon, at least for a while? I certainly hope so... unless they re-release Chitose in tea color.

She should have overalls, she’s already got safety goggles. I like her look and await her christening eagerly.

[Alliecat]

Nah, you're hooked; I'm sure she won't be the last.
She's really cute. Congrats!
Better put locks on your kitchen cupboards & fridge. Although with all their tools it might not help.

[Offgenemi]

Perfect addition to your team! She is gorgeous and I can’t wait to see their adventures!
I just added resolute to my team of two. I should post photos here

Yes, you should!

[werepuppy]

Ahh, she looks so amazing. I agree - best choice for the sculpt. Cannot wait to find out her name!

[Lejays17]

She’s lovely. I liked her wild wig as well as her new proper straight one.

Can wait to find out her personality & name soon.
