Remember you can "adjust" the shine with powdering. A freshly powdered doll, silicone and TPE, will look anything but shiny. I like the dolls shiny for photography, but for other things a powdered doll is both safest and feels best to the touch :wink:

There is no right answer to that. Several different, depending on what look I want or how tight the location is. From 24 to 200mm indoors and usually from 70 to 300mm outdoors. My goto lens is the 85mm 1.4, it always produce great results when all else fails.

I understand all comes down to a lot of thing when shooting outside but indoor with a fixed lighting setup makes life easier, just interested as my goto camera is a Lumix and don't really use full frame any more, as the Canon 5D is never with me friends keep using it and it's heavy i like Mirrorless Camera with Leica lens's now.

Well all i can do now is wait for that email to come through asking when i like the doll sent to me :) then let the fun begins with the unboxing :)

Indeed the UK, I hope all goes well with the order and delivery, we don't have eggnog traditionally here either central EU :D I did have my first taste on deployment shared by some US military colleagues, good stuff.

I ordered mine on the 27th Oct so it will be 3 weeks this friday since i ordered, yes the white and pinkish skin tone looks very anime skin tone.

Have you asked your Vendor for pictures to see if everything is ok before shipping as the factory did not do it for me they may still do it for you.
I actually haven't.. I assumed that was standard practice by most companies, but I will email and ask
