Meet Ayu (New EX-Lite)
Posted: Thu May 24, 2018 5:17 am
Hello all,
I am new to the forum and owning a doll. She arrived today and I am very happy with my purchase. There are a lot of posts about EX-Lite dolls and their unboxing. However, I am currently living in Japan and ordered mine from arte tokio (the DS Doll vendor in Japan), so I thought I would post some differences that I noticed compared to others (among other things). First, the entire process (order to door) took only 4 days. About half the time was waiting for payment to clear (bank transfer). I have noticed how long order take in other countries and was surprised when they told me that she would be shipped in 2 days once they received payment. Also, The shipping cost was also negligible compared to when I looked at prices in the US (~$40). In typical Japanese fashion, I was emailed after every step of the process was completed. Third, I am not sure which insert the dolls typically come with but mine came with type S or R (not sure which as Japan does use the same names). Everything else seems about the same as what others have said (pins for legs a bit too long, tape for the head works perfect, etc.). If you have any questions about dolls in Japan, feel free to ask. If I don't know the answer, it will not be to hard to find out.
Her name is Ayu (I did buy her in Japan after all
)

I want to say thank you all for the forum. It helped my learn about dolls and feel confident I knew what for and where to look when I went looking to buy. So from all us lurkers out there, thanks.
