I definitely will be posting pictures of the ladies dressed up, but I will be sure to give it the proper time for their personalities to develop before I start posting pictures. It will come in time

Thanks Kabuki!kabuki wrote:Thank you luckyleaf and Miah! It was a difficult choice, and I ALMOST went with Sakura instead of Saki. You have done an amazing job photographing and giving life to the Sakura head in Miah's thread. I will still be on the lookout for a second-hand Sakura head for the future, knowing what kind of expressiveness you have been able to get out of her... sweet, shy, and aloof. Simply beautiful.

Your words make us happy! Yes you're right.
Miah is truly affectionate, shy, very sensitive and aloof. But she's also clumsy in combination with full of life action and having plenty of weird ideas every day. You always hear noises and kind of sounds coming from the kitchen, bath room or living room. So you can always be sure, if it's quite here, then it's something wrong. Or she takes your hand and pull you to different places, to show you something or simply to spend time with you.
But she also has strange opposites which you cannot understand. For example she watches demanding but gloomy animes like "Death Note"
Like here: https://youtu.be/F6z4nOZZ-IE It's her all time favoruite anime!
Her favourite movies are Stanley Kubricks "A space odyssey 2001" , Martin Scorseses "Shutter Island" or "Dancer in the Dark" by Lars von Trier!!
Her favoruite movie directors are Stanley Kubrick and Lars von Trier
Her favourite music is uplifting trance like ( Hiroyuki Oda or Kyohei Akagawa)
Her favourite language is german! (Stupid language! ^^ )
Her favourite flower is the cherry blossom ( Sakura )
Her favourite colors are pink and purple
Her favourite element is water
Her favourite meal is salmon with basmati rice and vegetable juice.
Her favourite season is the autumn.
She likes the Louvre in france ( She always says: Oooooohh, it's soooooo big! )
She's interested in the chinese and polish culture.
She loves english phone booths! She would like to hug them every day......
What else........She doesn't like onions..... she's not interested in politics.....
.................................. etc. Nevermind.... Maybe you can imagine now, what kind of personality Miah is.
Kabuki, I am realy curious what kind of personality and interestings your ladies evolve in time! This is one of the most interested aspects in my opinion.
By the way Miah already subscribed your topic.
Miah & Lucky

I went out with friends on the evening before my doll's delivery to keep myself distracted. The day of delivery was a killer though. From 6am onwards the status read "out for delivery" and of course it didn't arrive until around 5pm. That was one hell of a long day. The UPS guy said to me "what's going on?" which of course I interpreted in my head as "you've got a love doll in there, right?" rather than "how are you?" so I replied "nothing, why?" lol, doh!
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
So behold, my first unboxing video (be gentle)
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
and your "Oh wow" at 9:38 simply epic and comprehensible!
Great and informative unboxing video Kabuki!
I liked your cautiousness and how you handled with the heads. I had the feeling your carefulness wasn't only because of the expensiveness...
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
You mentioned the UPS tracking stating that the body was in the next town across but then back in Anchorage. The same happened to me but the 'next town across' status for me was actually an announcement referring to the duty charge. Looks like they inform your local depot ahead of time. Make sure you have a check book or call UPS and pay over the phone -- I don't think they accept cash or credit card on delivery. The next location for your doll will probably be Kentucky after Anchorage and will probably stay there for a day without any further update.
The other thing -- that hair will be from the wig that John put on her when he took the photo for you.
Those two heads look amazing. Great choice.

Review of my SUKI doll from Sili Doll viewtopic.php?f=253&t=73439
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
I didn't mind the hair in the slightest, it was easy to wipe away and I know from experience that due to the tacky (and statically charged?) nature of the material, hair clings to it like crazy. I'm admittedly pretty hairy myself, and to keep my hairs off the doll during snuggle sessions, I have invested in various waxing supplies and an epilator to remove my body hair from the root. This may seem hardcore but since humans invented sweaters and pants, there's really no need for a natural pelt! Anyway, TMI on that.I don't know why there was a hole on the box, usually DHL take care the box gentle.
the hair the on the doll head, it was after we take confirm pictures for your doll head(with wig), sorry they didn't clear it
@edyedy thanks for the tips, i guess no one is immune to the import fees. I'll call up my local office to clarify details.
@lucky thanks for the kind words, my reaction was certainly genuine and candid I'm imagining what the body will feel like, based on the head material. After a good powdering, I'm thinking that she will exceed my expectations for what simulate skin feels like. Very excited and I will be handling her as gingerly as possible.
@dollafficionado thank you, my fiancé watched the video with me and said that she was getting an ASMR vibe from it. Sure enough, the next video that randomly played was an ASMR/unboxing video. I had no idea that ASMR + unboxing was a thing! She also said that it kind of made her want to try fooling around with a doll. I told her that I'd be happy to help her pick one! She thought I was going to share...
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
The duty charge was only $21.98 for me. I had my check ready for the guy. Made payable to 'UPS'.
I have pets...the hair magnetism is proving to be a nightmare. I'm thinking of shaving my animals (joking). I usually give them free rein of the house but they've now been banned from the bedroom...now I have to deal with whining and scratching on the door.
Excited for your next unpacking video!
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
@edyedy you were right, the body is in Kentucky right now. I wish I could ask her to bring some bbq with her on her way north!
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
Fei is my absolute favorite doll head apart from Thera. I have always wondered what this head would look like on 145 cm doll, but always worried it would be too small. I really hope Kabuki can give us some good photos showing the proportions. The problem with Thera being too big for the 145 cm dolls and I'm really not wanting a bigger doll. If Fie is a good fit I might have to reconsider my position on getting another doll.luckyleaf wrote:This FEI head is just breathtaking.......

Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
sture sold a 145cm doll with Fei head on this forum a while ago, it was the old silicone but you can get the idea for it here: http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=122&t=54209Mr-Smith wrote: I have always wondered what this head would look like on 145 cm doll, but always worried it would be too small.
You can rest assured that I will be taking a lot of pictures... in fact I have my tripod set up right now, taking pictures of the Saki head to get it into this month's photography contest! I also used my macro lens to create this overview of the insert:
Re: Jan 2016: DS 145- with two heads
Thanks kabuki, not sure how I missed seeing those pictures before. Something does still look a little off to my eye. Maybe just the angle they were shot. Maybe look more correct on the 145-. Looking forward to seeing your photos.kabuki wrote:sture sold a 145cm doll with Fei head on this forum a while ago, it was the old silicone but you can get the idea for it here: http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=122&t=54209Mr-Smith wrote: I have always wondered what this head would look like on 145 cm doll, but always worried it would be too small.
