"I do buy not myself $100 jeans, but I buy the dolls $100 jeans": RELATABLE 🤣 SD clothes are definitely investment pieces, but for dolls that are so beautiful and high quality, they gotta have the same standard of outfits to match! Honestly, thank goodness for my dolly friends alerting me to doll drops; I'm a terrible stalker. Great video, Tammy!

I agree. I love my Chitose Multiverse, at the time Haruka was "backordered" so I bought me my Kiku instead, she was my second on the list Mirai being third. Now if I would want to buy one I am torn between Limitless and a Pear girl. But it would be quite a while. Another thing people need to remember is SmartDoll is a made in Japan doll, not a single part even material used is sourced outside of Japan, hence the price Danny designs everything from 3D mockups to the molds himself with his in-house team of 17. My son holds Danny's business model in very high esteem.

They are lovely dolls, but their size and price prevent me from ever buying one for my collection. I always wanted to someday get a BJD for my collection but a much lower priced one. I love dressing and styling my dolls and without a wardrobe I wouldn't enjoy the doll very much. I just can't see ever paying that much for a doll even though I would love to have one, it won't happen. Thanks for all the information about them and it's fun to see those dolls that other collectors have in their collections. Take care.🙂

If you really, really wanted one you would find a way. It’s true: “where there is a sincere will there is a way!” But if you keep saying there is “no way” that will come true as well.

Hi, i was lucky enough to get my first girl 7 years ago in Japan, where they had a facility then where you could put your girl together in store, we also got to meet Danny too, i now have 6 in total. I havent had one for sometime though but as you say i need to save up first. I am really waiting for the Boy one but i am tempted for a Pear girl especially with the price at the moment because Yen to Pound is good too, but you also have to think about customs fees and postage too. thankyou for sharing 🥰🥰

"Don't asume you're so strong to buy just one doll" So true, I always thought "why would people need to have more than one doll? that's absurd" until I got my first BJD (a fairyland minifee) after I unboxed her, dressed her and put her on display I immediatelly started saving to buy another one, and so on XD Also true about the cost of clothing, I recently bought a pair of boots more expensive than my current pair of old sneakers. Thanks for your video! :)

I collect 1/6 scale. So I bought a smart doll head on ebay & paired it w/a 1/6 bjd body from aliexpress & made my own. Was a little tricky cuz the head hole was quite a bit smaller than the typical bjd. But it actually came out pretty darn good & she is not out of sync w/the rest of the dolls.

@@TammyPowley Yeah, it was an adventure cuz I contacted Danny Choo about how I could buy just a head & he suggested ebay. Found the exact head I wanted. I was so pleased w/the result that I even sent him pics of how it turned out. He seemed to approve. & now that I heard his version of the ‘pocket doll’-if he ever gets around to making it; is gonna be 16” (way bigger than my dolls), I’m REALLY glad I made my own! 😬

When I was looking online for clothes for my newly ordered doll I found a Smart Doll US website offering the dolls at 1/3 the price of the Japanese site. I did wonder if it was a legitimate site since other than items priced in US dollar amounts it looked the same as the one I ordered from Japan. Just wondering since they are under $100 and I really think I'll be wanting to get another.

It is not ligit. I almost got scammed by that site myself. The only retailer in the US that sells Culture Japan products is called Fabric Friends Dolls, and they actually usually cost a little more than CJ's site.
