She was delivered on friday and I was a little worried when I saw the condition of the wooden box she was shipped in as it looked like it had taken a fair bit of abuse there was a small hole in the side and the lid was partially open but this may have been down to customs inspecting it and not correctly securing the lid back on.
Import duty on the doll was £110 GBP.
The good news is the doll was still sealed in her sleeping bag so customs didn't get there grubby little hands on her.
The doll came out of the bag nice and clean but I still gave her a wash and powdering and found no damage or defects.
The makeup and body airbrushing looks nice.
My first impressions of the doll are excellent as she is beautifully made and nice to pose once you get used to how much force you need to apply to move her joints, my biggest fear was the weight as at 30kg she is quite heavy but I have had no problems lifting her.
I named Her Hitomi and here are some photo's.
Hope you like her.

*) the poster's use of feminine pronouns to refer to a female-looking doll in no way implies that the poster sees women as objects, or objects as women.
Her skin feels beautifully smooth and silky but not sticky and she smells rather nice, the skin is quite firm as I didn't go for the soft skin option as she would be less durable.
