As far as I know the eyes of Smart Dolls are not movable, but can be positioned

- it's different.
Eyes can be changed, but you have to take the head apart. There are several replacement kits, with various type of eyes.

This information can be found on the smartdoll.jp website : https://shop.smartdoll.jp/collections/eyes

It must therefore simply be possible to give them an expression during reassembly, but then they remain fixed.

Kasumi has "follow me" eyes. They are supposed to give the impression that she is looking at you at different angles.

She’s soooo cute in that babydoll! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks. That is very interesting. I do have one or two figures that you can change the position of the eyes.. It's a little bit of a pain making them look right but it does create a slightly different dimension to the figure..
Thanks. Oz

Interesting.
You're right. In all the pictures if she's looking in your general direction she seems to be looking right at you.
It must be those big anime eyes.

Thanks,

So as you may be aware I have been doing a bit of research on these SmartDolls..
So I have a question for you. Is kasumi a cortex or vinyl body..? Did you purchase
her assembled and if did they smooth over and paint all the seam line where the
parts fit together..? Cheers oz..

I didn't realize SD had elf options >.>
Is she Mirai with an elf ears option or is she a specific girl? She's really pretty.

Kasumi is a Vinyl body and she was purchased fully assembled aside from the ears. She has no seem lines that I can see.

Yes she is Mirai with the elf ear option. I kind of wish they were permanent because they are just held on by a little hook that fits up under the wig so they can shift very easily. I was thinking of trying to use they same stuff they use to hold the eyes in place and apply a very small amount between her "real" ear and the elf ear to see if it stays put better.
And thank you, I also think she is really pretty. I can't get enough of her.

Try some "Blutack" available at any stationary supply store, or online at Ebay..
Will hold really well, but can be removed when needed.. i use it for everything
and it is cheap as chips..

I visited the smart doll web site and was not really impressed. Then I saw the first 2 pictures of this thread. NOW, I want one. She is adorable, especially coming out of the bag. Of course I am partial to elves also. Good job in making me a believer.

Yes this is a cutie, love those elf ears.
Love the way they photograph.

Congratulations!
and Welcome Kasumi.

She is cute. Smart Dolls? This seems to be a Ball-Jointed-Doll / BJD. Is it the same?
Cheers

Hi Ranma, I think someone just like Kasumi would make a great younger sister for me. Master told me to come have a looksee so I did. Master is right she is adorable. Oh, in case you don't know Master is Leather By Lee. It may be a while we still have to get a body for my sister Sonja. Maybe about 150cm, then I can have tiny, small, and medium sisters

I have a question of curiosity, do you turn into a girl when you get water on you? Is your surname Saotome?
