3) Factory photos and shipped dolls.
This week, we had three completed dolls:
- This Doll House 168 DH-158 body style with ›Ai‹ head travels to California
- This JY Doll JY-160 body style with no. 23 head travels to Texas
- This Doll Sweet DS-170/M with Leo head travels to France
Also, Jeff from BCD donated some more factory photos from his own sales:
- WM Dolls WM-160/D with YL Doll ›Imani‹ head (Jinsan no. 176) factory photos
4) Exhibitions and trade faires.
- China Adult Expo in Shanghai - April 26th - 28th, 2019
5) Personalia.
Bob Lu from SY Doll sales/marketing announced last week that he will leave SY Doll for personal reasons.
Bob was a trustworthy and most reliable POC. Doing business with him was always smooth and painless. Losing Bob as contact is similar to Ray leaving JY. Letting him go is a loss as well for SY Doll as for the Chinese doll industry.
SY Doll lost their TDF accreditation a while ago, and now they lost their flagship representant; that leaves a big question mark where the Shengyi company is now heading.
6) Ready to ship - dolls from stock.
We have taken over an abandoned doll which was already on her way to Europe:
- WM Doll WM-161 with 2 heads (Jinsan heads no. 55 and no. 108), tanned skin color, standing foot option
She is a factory-fresh doll with no previous owner, and she is ready to ship on the next working day.
I posted a quick Unboxing review with this doll, focusing on what has changed at Jinsan since the last unboxings from a while ago.
The sales ad and pricing is in TDF's For Sale section. Here is the thread: viewtopic.php?f=128&t=114789
