Unity is the big sister who looks out for people in need. In her spare time she helps out at a homeless shelter, and at night she trains at the same boxing gym as Infinity. Some people call her a vigilante, because she’s chased off or caught muggers in her area more than once. That’s what growing up in the roughest neck of the woods does to you.
Walking home from school one day, Unity passed a block of flats and noticed a crowd of kids in a circle, jeering at something. She moved closer and saw a girl about her own age on the ground being kicked. The girl’s glasses had fallen off, and one of the kids stepped on them. The leader of the pack walked up holding a bat and threatened her with it.
Unity pushed through the circle and knelt beside the girl. “Are you OK?”
“I guess…”
Unity looked up at the leader. “Well, well, well. Looks like you chose the wrong person to mess with.”
The leader stared at her in disbelief. “Seriously? You don’t exactly look scary. If you don’t want to end up like Trinity, I suggest you take a hike right now.”
The crowd went quiet, waiting to see how their leader would deal with the first person ever to stand up to her. Unity smiled, got up and slowly walked around her. “I’m not talking about me…”
By now Trinity had picked up the bat and was standing behind the leader. Unity looked over the leader’s shoulder. “…I’m talking about her.”
As the leader turned, the bat was already in mid-swing… and Trinity tossed it away. The leader’s own crowd laughed at her as they walked off.
That was how Unity and Trinity met, though from the way they pulled it off without a word, you’d think they’d known each other for years. They’re best friends now. Trinity jokingly calls Unity her hero, but Unity always says the real hero is Trinity, for throwing the bat away instead of using it. “If it was me, I’d have rearranged her face, nooo problem.”
“True,” says Trinity, “but then we wouldn’t have watched her own crowd laugh at her. I think that hurt more than a bat to the face.”
Unity laughs. “We should become a crime-fighting duo. I beat them up physically, you beat them up mentally.”
“One is none, two is fun, but three is one,” says Trinity. “We need another member. Somebody called… I don’t know, how about Justice, if there ever was someone with that name…”
You can also read more about Trinity and why she never retaliates.
In 2015, I started developing a skin tone that was meant to be Cocoa, but it ended up more purple. Thanks to the sunk cost fallacy, I kept that purple tone around even though it didn’t represent anyone apart from Thanos.
The sunk cost comes from color matching the frame (injection-molded polyoxymethylene) and the shell (slush-cast soft vinyl). Light diffuses when it reflects off a matte surface, which makes the material look lighter, and the two materials behave differently. So color matching is slow and expensive, because we have to make actual casts to see how light reflects off each part. If you look at one of our vinyl parts, like a bust or head cap, you’ll notice it’s darker on the inside than the outside for exactly this reason. To get the best match, we have to guess how much darker the base color should be.
Sandblasting gives the inside of a mold its matte finish. Injection molds and vinyl molds need different sandblast grades because the materials diffuse light differently, and working out the grade is part of managing skin tones too. Sandblast a new mold too much and the parts come out lighter. Trial and error is the name of the game for a good, if not perfect, match.
By 2016, I realized the sunk cost was costing me more than money. It was costing my soul, because I was lying to myself trying to pass off the purple tone as representing darker-skinned humans. In early 2017, I started revamping Cocoa, and it went through several internal versions before we finalized it late that year.
I was happy with the new Cocoa, but it turned out to be our most resource-intensive skin tone. Slush casting leaves blemishes in soft vinyl that show up much more on Cocoa, so failure rates are higher, and we spend up to three times longer buffing the vinyl by hand before assembly.
From its release in 2017 until mid-2020, Cocoa sold the least of all our skin tones. Even so, I felt strongly that Smart Doll wouldn’t be complete without it. Without Cocoa we’d only have Cinnamon and Tea, and all good things come in threes, just like the Star Wars trilogy. Wait, you’re telling me there were nine episodes?!
With our small team of 20 or so, we’ll never have nine skin tones, but I’m happy our lineup broadly represents and celebrates human diversity, and sometimes blue (green soon) aliens too ;-)
Better together, stronger together. Unity represents the united colors of Smart Doll.
On a side note, Cocoa was our slowest seller until mid-2020, but then the semi-real sculpts arrived. Now Cocoa sells about as well as Tea, and nearly as well as Cinnamon when we release a semi-real girl like Unity ;-)

Soft vinyl, while a wonderful material, is prone to scuff marks. While these are almost invisible on Cinnamon or Tea skin tones, they can be more noticeable on Cocoa. To address this, we provide a free Melamine sponge upon request with your order. Include a note in the order field requesting the "free melamine sponge."
When removing scuff marks, gently buff the surface with the sponge in a circular motion. If the scuff is on the face, take extra care to avoid disturbing the makeup. The process may leave a bit of sponge residue, but it's easily brushed off. Following these steps, scuffs will either vanish or become significantly less apparent.
Please be aware that due to the slush casting process, minor blemishes can occur, which might be more visible on the Cocoa skin tone. If you anticipate this as a potential issue, we recommend considering this factor before purchasing.
We often hear feedback suggesting that our cocoa skin tone dolls pose a challenge to photograph. For those finding it difficult, consider researching photography techniques or trying out camera apps that offer adjustable exposure settings.
It's worth noting that this advice isn't exclusive to cocoa dolls - it can equally apply to our cinnamon skin tones, where overexposure can be a concern. A slight adjustment of exposure settings (and willingness to learn) can go a long way in getting the perfect shot.

Smart Doll’s are crafted with care, intention, and a strong commitment to quality—but they are not designed to be everything for everyone. Since all sales are final, we ask that you take a moment to understand what makes our products unique before placing an order.
The photo grid below highlights common concerns we’ve seen from customers *after* receiving their Smart Doll—despite these traits being explained throughout our website. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision upfront rather than face disappointment later.
The first row covers wig-related traits, the second explains details of our slush-cast vinyl body and frame, and the third focuses on the intentional asymmetry in our face design. A brief overview follows the grid below:
Smart Doll wigs are shaped by hand—not by mold—so variation is natural. You may notice differences in thickness, alignment, or shape from one wig to the next. Some may appear “balding” in spots or shed small amounts of hair when first opened and with continued use. Tight fits can leave marks on the head, and a bit of styling oil residue is also expected. (images 1 - 4)
Learn more about Smart Doll wigs
The Smart Doll body is made from sofubi (soft vinyl) using a hands-on process called slush casting. This naturally results in variations such as asymmetry, flow lines, dents, bumps, air bubbles, and differences in surface texture. The head cap may not match the body color exactly or fit perfectly. These traits are inherent to working with soft vinyl and are part of the handcrafted nature of the product. (images 5 - 8)
Learn more about the casting process
Just like real human faces, Smart Doll faces are intentionally asymmetrical. From the 3D sculpt to the final brush stroke, no two are exactly alike. Hand-painted features such as eyeliner, lashes, and blush will differ slightly in size, shape, and placement. If you’re seeking factory-perfect, machine-printed symmetry, a different brand may be a better fit. (images 9 - 12)
