My doll is ready to ship

[Kusanagi]

Ordered 132cm body / Li's head / extra soft silicone from 2 weeks ago
Today Steven from DS confirmed that my doll is ready for shipping, once I've complete payment for my invoice
Here are some photos he has sent me

I particularly like her cat-like piercing-blue eyes

Li's face does have a soft-feature in which I find very lovely

A picture of her little feet:

I was suprised by the details DS has worked on her toes. Comparing to my Level-D's Ayana from 2 years ago & my 4Woods Liliana from a year ago, though they are equally beautiful, their feet are a little lack in details as their 4 smaller toes are not separated. With DS's toes at least the first 2 toes are individuals (I've ordered with internal-structure in the toes)

The doll manufacturers are improving existing formulas as time goes by. For a lower-price doll I am suprised by the details and efforts that DS has spent on their dolls that are no less than the higher-price high-end dolls from renowned manufacturers such as Level-D & 4Wood (though I must say Hiroo san has once again raised the bar with his new S+ model, in which I'm planning to order at early next year)

DS is bringing some fierce competition into the high-end doll-market with their current price and quality

Will post more photos once I receive my doll (yet to be named)

Congratulations

extra soft silicone

Is it a new silicone ?

Congrats Kusanagi, you're gonna be amazed by this doll, i also own several Japanese dolls and i think DS raised the bar really high, all that for a rather nice price !

Is it a new silicone ?

DS offers 2 different types of silicone for their dolls
According to DS, the standard silicone is more tear-resistance while the extra soft silicone requires extra care when handling

Congrats Kusanagi, you're gonna be amazed by this doll, i also own several Japanese dolls and i think DS raised the bar really high, all that for a rather nice price !

Agree with you Stef. It will be interesting to see if/how other doll manufacturers respond as demand increasing for their competitors

I saw some of the beautiful pictures of your Japanese dollies. It appears that while western-manufacturer's are more focused on the practicality for their dolls, the Asian (Japanese as majority and now Chinese as well) dolls are more focused on bringing out their beauty. I am a sucker for this

By the way, DS is actually a Japanese company based in China.

Learnt something new everyday
Arte Tokio?

I remembered 2 or 3 yrs ago I bought a 55cm An & a 40cm Fam from Arte Tokio. I've always admired the shapely body of the 55cm model and wish one day they will make a 1:1 scale doll for her...I guess DS 132 is quite close to it

If DS/AT will make An's head for 1:1 I will likely order a second doll. Just cannot resist that innocent expression on her face

Congrats on your new roommate Kusangi. She's got a very pretty face and I like your choice in eyes.

[Dollarhyde]
