Congratulations! And good luck with Riley. It seems like DHL is the way to go. I understand they handle customs internally which probably speeds things up a bit.

1) Does Yuki have any special makeup for that photo?
2) I don't see black eyes option on page: http://www.yldoll.com/shop/index.php?ro ... duct_id=55
3) Face of Yuki is in fact perfect on this picture. Do you think all copies of that face are same quality?

Thank you for your help Torkan

1) Nope, and had I put something on, it would've been a mess, I'm sure.
2) They are the brown ones, but they are quite dark.
3) I really hope so.

The photo looks good. She's a beauty.

You had your ISO on 1600 and captured at 1/100 sec. You can lower that ISO a bit. ISO 800 or lower, for your camera, should be fine. Usually, an aperture of 2.8 or lower works nicely. Aperture priority is recommended for portrait style photography.

It's common for cameras to get the mid range coloring off. Often, lighting can make a big difference.

When it comes to photography, I'm still in practice and experiment mode. I have managed to learn some things.

Thanks for the tips, Obin. I'm still quite new to photography, but I'm sure I'll be practicing a lot more from now on.
I tried some different settings and from the few photos I took, this was the one that came out the best. Next time I'll try with some lower ISO settings.

Ironically, I've been thinking about getting a new camera or a new lens for a while, but after buying this doll, I can't afford any for a while. But hey, it's better with a decent camera and something nice to take pictures of, than a great camera but nothing to take pictures of.

Belated Congrats Torkan!



Your Yuki is a delight to behold ... soooo cute and sexy! I hope to see more pics of her!

Enjoy!

Cheers!

Hey guys. Some of the clothes that I've ordered have arrived, and here are a few more photos. Hope you like them.

A really nice first doll. Congratulations.

Hey, I just want to give you guys a quick update on my Riley doll that has been stuck in customs for almost 8 weeks now.

After contacting Fedex several times, they finally gave me a reference number that I could give to customs. Customs(Tolletaten in Norway) never responded to the emails I then sent, so I called them. After talking to a couple of people, I got a phone number to the guy that was handling my package(or more like my case, it felt like).
The conversation turned kind of awkward when he asked what kind of product we were talking about. "Adult toys", I said, while trying my best to sound confident and not at all embarrassed. He quickly figured out what I was trying to say, and the rest of the conversation actually went quite well.

Turns out that Norwegian customs has a legal team working on this, trying to figure out what to do with these dolls. I didn't feel like going into further detail and didn't ask if this was because of the size of the doll or just dolls in general. At least he said that my doll wasn't the only one they had stored, but they hope to have this resolved soon.
He said that if I don't get any info in a week or two, I can call him again, so fingers crossed!

Those photos are great. Yuki looks beautiful. Please post more with black hair. Thank you

OMG I love her, she is my twin! I feel so bad about your other girl. I hope that works out. I am sorry I missed this thread and I am glad you stopped by my 1 year review. Yuki will love you forever and Riley will too if they ever get her out of that storage place. They better, it makes me sad. Anyway, I am here if Yuki ever needs anything. Feel free to PM me or irishgirl....... We are all sooooooooo pleased to see another Yuki... I of course changed my name to Lexi but Yuki lives within my heart always. Hey, please get Yuki and Riley a doll account so we can do girly chat.. Take care and congrats again. hugs from Lexi

Thank you so much for nice review! ^^

Hi Torkan.

Did you ever get your Riley doll delivered, or did you end up in trouble because of her?

I ordered a 140cm doll a week ago and olny read about the problems people had afterwards.
I am currently beating myself up for not doing more research before placing the order.
