Unboxing pics
Danny is very proud of his product, and rightly so. Because of this his packaging philosophy is to make the package part of the product. Discretion isn't going to happen with a Smart Doll. The box is a double walled box with the product name stamped on it in large clear white letters.
Inside the box is what would be the shop shelf packaging, A heavy paper bag, printed with Animé images of Mirai and Kizuna. There is also a Tourism Map of Japan featuring all of Danny's characters and a Moekana Card. Ningyou, it means Doll in Japanese. A nice touch. The bag is bubble wrapped.
In the bag is the doll, either Mirai or Kizuna (Mirai has an orange dot, Kizuna a blue one), and the accessories box.
The doll is in a kneeling position in the bag, securely wrapped in bubble wrap
The Accessories are bagged separately in the accessories box. This is her attire pack, wig and shoes.
Mirai comes with knickers, socks, jeans, orange T-Shirt, shoes, Beanie, wig, and her X signature hair clip.
Kizuna comes with knickers, socks,jeans, blue T-Shirt, shoes, and wig.
There is also a Thank You card and the smart stand.
The clothes are extremely well made. The detailing on them is accurate, the materials are excellent, and the fit is perfect. The shoes appear to be real leather with a rubber sole and heel.

You bet your beanie they can!
Mirai realises I've been a fan for a while
I have Kizuna on order too (paid for, awaiting shipping) along with the optional posed hands. I'll add all that when I get them.
Construction and Posing
Check Danny's site for all the wonderful pics of the skeleton, but here's a run down
Head and Neck : Twists and flexes in all directions using the Jeton joint. the head can just pull off for changing clothes.
Shoulders : 360' rotation, 90' up and down, and a few degrees front and back.
Centre Torso / Bust : The upper and lower torso are separate and join under the bust, it's a clean join and the Jeton joint spine allows movement in all directions including twisting.
Hips : Each hip is a captured ball joint allowing some rotation, 90' flex forwards, and about 30' flex to the side.
Knees : 90' flex.
Ankles : Flex in all directions and rotate so she can stand on her own
Elbows : 90' flex and full rotation, there is also a second 90' joint that can be pulled out from the upper arm to allow her to bend her arm 180' at the elbow
Wrist : 180' flex with 360' rotation on the ball joint, and 360' rotation on the hand itself.
The ball joints are not like other BJD's where they are simply a ball and cup held together by elastic. The Mirai Frame uses ball joints that are more like a captured ring. Danny calls it a triple axis joint, and it works very well, but takes a bit of getting used to compared to an elasticated BJD.
The Mirai Frame seems pretty robust but, as with all things, care should be taken not to force anything.
The body is a soft matte finish vinyl. All parts are pretty solid, except for the bust piece which is soft and pliable to allow the neck and spine to move.
Her eyes are held in with blue-tac and are posable, but considering the size of the iris/pupil moving them isn't really worth it. I may experiment at some point. Access to the inside of the head is via a skull cap plug under the wig.
The default bust has no nipples to allow a clean look in a tight T-Shirt, but 2 optional busts are available with 'headlights'. You can also purchase painted versions for extra realism. Changing the bust simply requires removal of the head and arms at the shoulders (they pop out) and the bust piece pulls off.

Kizuna is identical to Mirai body-wise. Her face-up is different and she has blue eyes and blonde hair. And is just as super cute!

Double your fun!
Looking forward to the trouble adventures these girls get into at the patch, Karrot!
Also, where did you get the cute stuffed animals for them?
