It’s been over three years since our last Smart Doll selfie collage call-out, and a lot has changed at Smart Doll Land since then.
Since the last collage, we’ve introduced the Pear body, Coffee skin tone, lots of new characters, and welcomed many new members to Smart Doll Land. At the same time, some folks have moved on to other hobbies, so we’d love the new collage to reflect the community as it is today. It will eventually replace the current collage, so everyone is welcome to participate again—even if you appeared in a previous one.
If you’d like to be part of it, send your selfie to the Smart Doll support email address—the same one we use to contact you about shipping and other order-related stuff.
- Choose your favorite Smart Doll if you have several. Once cropped into a small square, multiple dolls end up looking like tiny pixies and are barely visible.
- A selfie with your Smart Doll close to your face usually works best, giving both of you the most room in the final crop. We’ve also successfully used photos with two Smart Dolls, as long as they’re snuggled up close to your face. :-)
- Have a look at the previous collage to get an idea of the types of photos that work well.
- Please send the original, highest-resolution image you have. Avoid screenshots, heavy filters, or blurry photos.
In the past, we couldn’t use some submissions because they were heavily filtered, low resolution, blurry, unrelated, or because the owner and Smart Doll were simply too small or too far apart in the frame.
I’ve seen so many awesome selfies shared online over the years, but I can only use photos when you’ve given us permission directly. Sending your selfie to our support email lets us know you’re happy for us to include it.
One of my fave things about these collages is that they’ve helped me recognize many of you when we meet at conventions outside Japan. It’s always nice to put a face to the person behind the Smart Doll.
There’s no submission deadline right now. As entries come in, we’ll get a better idea of how many spaces we have available. If needed, we’ll announce a closing date later.
Share Your Smart Doll Moments
One of my fave parts of the Smart Doll site has always been the community photos scattered throughout. As we’re refreshing the website theme, we’re updating many of these images too.
If you’d like to be featured, send us a landscape-oriented photo of yourself, your family, or your children together with your Smart Doll.
There’s no obligation to send one, but if you have a favorite photo that captures a special moment, we’d love to see it.
The only thing we ask is that the photo includes people with their Smart Dolls. We’re celebrating the people behind Smart Doll Land, so photos of just the Smart Doll won’t be used for this part of the website.
By sending us your photos, you’re giving us permission to include it in the Smart Doll community collage, which may appear on our website, social media channels (such as Instagram), printed materials, videos, and occasionally on TV, in movies, or in documentaries. :-)
Looking forward to seeing you and your Smarties! ❤️
