Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 20th week of 2019, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) New arrivals.

This week, four new heads were introduced:

Junying/Aiersha no. 208 head (TPE)
Hitdoll/Ildoll H1 head (TPE/silicone)
Hitdoll/Ildoll H2 head (TPE/silicone)
Jinsan no. 266 head (TPE)

Also, two new body styles were released:

New arrivals: Hitdoll HI-150 / ~150 cm / ~25 kg (TPE or silicone)
New arrivals: Hitdoll HI-160BB / ~160 cm / ~36 kg (TPE or silicone)

Both Hitdoll body styles are availabe as well in TPE as in silicone (!), also they are available under the Ildoll brand and can be upgraded with HR (hyper realism) finishing.

We have ordered material samples from Hitdoll/Ildoll, so with some probability those brands will become supported by Indigo's care & repair products soon.

Sino-doll's SI-149 body style (silicone) still has not yet been officially announced, but the first preview pics from Shanghai Expo can be viewed.

As always, you can follow the latest updates in our Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/DollStudioEU

Also, we have the New products listing on all three Dollstudio websites. It is sorted in reverse chronological order, so the latest additions to our portfolio are on top of the listing:

Also I started a thread a couple of threads for reference and documentation:

Sino-doll options explained - the complete listing - explains and illustrates all customization options currently offered by Sino-doll. Currently we are working at #18, the 'Premium options'.
Sino-doll range of movements - shows where joints are and which movements are supoprted by the skeleton

3) Factory photos and shipped dolls.

This week, we had three completed dolls:

This Climax Doll CLM-100 Plus+ with M5 head travels to Texas
This Doll Sweet DS-145 ›Evo‹ with ›Nina‹ head travels to Europe
This Doll Sweet DS-160 Plus with ›Sandy‹ head travels to Europe

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:

Factory photos OR Doll OR-167/G with OR-31 and OR-17 heads in skin tone medium

Thanks, Jeff!

Since this was another week without any sales for us, there will be not many shipped dolls in June.

4) Ready to ship - dolls from stock.

This abandoned doll is still available from stock & ready to ship on the next working day:

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; she is a weight-reduced model and has not flaws. I posted a quick Unboxing review with this doll so you can get a better idea if you are interested. Further details and pricing are in the For Sale thread.

I am getting regularily questions for cash & carry dolls. Taking over this shipment was an experiment to see if there actually is demand for pre-configured dolls. A couple of years ago - in 2015/2016 - such an demand did exist. But back then, the market was different. Less choices existed. Less customization options, and much less products to choose from. In the past two years, pre-configured dolls became more or less unsellable. Whatever you had on stock, cash & carry customers always wanted a different skin color or another head. This WM-161 with no. 55 and no. 108 is proof, that there is still no demand for pre-configured dolls. At least not over here in Europe.

5) Upcoming Unboxing Reviews.

There are two Unboxing reviews in preparation.

Gynoid Tech. "纪香-model7" (Ji Xiang)
Sino-doll SI-152/D with A10 head (Amanda)

Both reviews have already started with topics like configuration decisions and purchasing procedure. The SI-152/D has been completed in the factory last week and is on her way to Berlin.
