1) New arrivals.

This week, four new heads were introduced:

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

As usual, confirmation pics are in our Twitter feed and on the respective product pages.

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

Thanks, Jeff!

4) Exhibitions and trade faires.

China Adult Expo in Shanghai - April 26th - 28th, 2019

Among others, Doll Forever and Sino-doll will participate. Sino is planning to showcase the new S149cm body style.

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

This beautiful two-headed girl has arrived and is now looking for a new home.
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
