I didn't quite understand. Could you tell me, please, this doll is made in China or Japan?

I think that's mainly just D4E trying to be very competitive on price being a new player on the market. By all accounts they're as good or better quality than Jinsan (WM/OR/YL) dolls though, with several updated features such as the hinged neck and no-bolt standing feet.

Still curious about the tungsten wires I've never had a copper wire break though they come dislodged quite easily is the tungsten wire different and it's fabrication into the hand?

Hi guys,

we are running different sites for different areas, one displays prices in Euro currency and ships to customers within the EU, the other one displays prices in USD currency and ships to customers outside the EU.

For both areas different rules apply, so as well the prices as the offered portfolio and even some of customization options available are different, depending on the applicable rules.

The EU shop always includes all import fees like customs and taxes like VAT. Also shipping costs are included if the final destination for delivery is in Germany or EU shipping flatrate is available.

The shop for customers outside the EU includes shipping costs to regular destination within the U.S. and Canada, but not import fees, if applicable in your area.

For certain destinations like Australia or New Zealand and products with a certain value, there might be additional shipping costs and import fees.

Also, for EU destinations, controlled shipping is available, for destinations outside the EU it is not.

Even so, if the PQC and other tax is not included in $1380 and included on the final price, it won't be near 2k as the 153cm I bought on WM for $1960. If you buy them on RealLoveSexDoll, they're even much expensive than directly through WM or other vendors like Beautiful-Dolls. Still, were talking about 155cm here of Forever dolls. That price is unbelievable lol. We need explanation lol

I think a bit of the confusion is because Doll Studio have two different prices. Here's how I understand it:

D4E155 Price for EU €1750. This includes customs duties/VAT to Europe + PQC and shipping.

D4E155 Price for US/CN: $1380. This includes shipping, but AFAIK no PQC or customs duties (do correct me if I'm wrong here). The doll is shipped directly to you from the factory in China.

LeonBehrens wrote:It's not that cheap LOL the current price for the 155cm dolls is 1730€. In dollars I dont know but it's at least 1600 or 1700 usd. Don't know why you think it's just 1300 dollars. If it is, I want an answer too. Why do we from Europe pay 1,8k? I won't buy one then lol.

Import duties and tax mostly (around $300), I guess the rest is service charge (PQC) and shipping. The doll is first shipped to Doll Studio in Germany, they do a quality check, then ship it on to you if it passes inspection.

$1380? Are you kidding me? Really $1380 for 155cm? When I got my 153cm, she's $1960.... $1380... man. I gotta sell my dolls and get this one. THAT'S F***ING CHEAP LOL it's like the price of 100cm and below dolls. 125cm from WM is $1599... really, that's cheap. Something is definitely not right here. I need an explanation DollStudio.

TDF has a waiting list for new manufacturers, so there is a delay between applying to become listed and getting approval.
Sandro

Thank you Sandro for sharing info about waiting list and for welcome my review!

@Babel99
I've read that a solid plate of metall is used instead of the 3 bolts, the base is made of TPE.
At the dollshow2017 these Dolls stand for several days without damage to the feet.
But the manufacturer said also better not to use them on a hard underground.
I can answer in more detail once my doll is at home for inspection!

It would be VERY interesting to see the under feet side of the doll. I am really curious to know if the base of the feet is also made of TPE.

Standing feet ...without bolt ...is difficult to believe in. I would be SO afraid to make the doll stand up, putting her weight directly on the TPE.

Could we get and idea of how it is designed?
