Smart Doll - Marvel: Blue Metal Edition (Cinnamon)

In 2013, during the early stages of Smart Doll's development, the prevailing opinion was that the market didn't need another vinyl doll brand. Ironically, this consensus only strengthened our resolve and helped us overcome the hurdles of launching a product that has now thrived for a decade.

By 2019, as we were developing our semi-real style characters, we encountered similar skepticism. Critics argued that vinyl dolls should stick to anime styles. Yet, this skepticism became a driving force, guiding us through the intricate process of creating our semi-real characters. The production of these characters is labor-intensive, requiring more than double the paint masks of an anime character. Despite these challenges, they have become a significant part of our brand, enabling further development of new anime characters.

In 2023, when introducing the pear body shape, we faced déjà vu. Critics believed doll bodies should adhere to traditional slim forms. However, such criticisms only spurred our innovation. The pear body, despite its anatomical complexities, offers a broader range of motion than our Gen 2 Smart Doll classic bodies.

For entrepreneurs, the dichotomy of support and criticism is a familiar terrain. While supporters embolden our endeavors, critics – even those who may seem discouraging – can unwittingly compel us to reaffirm and strengthen our vision. It's essential not only to hear all voices but to discern and extract value, even from skepticism. Constructive criticism has been invaluable, encouraging us to refine and innovate continually.

However, it's crucial to recognize when criticism is meant to dissuade rather than improve. Remember - it's better to create and face criticism than to do nothing and be critical of others.

Marvel embodies this spirit where her name symbolizes the awe and wonder inherent in defying conventions and pursuing innovation. She represents the courage to challenge norms and revel in the journey of creation, mirroring our dedication to diversity and creativity in the face of skepticism.

About the wig

The wig that comes with this character is designed with a "turnover" construction allowing the hair to be swept back while minimizing the amount of wig cap showing.
The challenge with this design is the initial difficulty in putting it on. On the upside, it ensures the wig stays firmly in place, minimizing the chances of it being whisked up by the wind and landing in dog poo.

For those with arthritis or similar conditions, it's worth noting that you can leave a note with your order requesting that the wig be attached prior to shipping. We typically add double-sided tape beneath the wig for an added layer of security, but be aware this may leave residue between the head and the wig cap. Check out the video below to see how to attach the wig.

The wig, similar to any tight-fitting apparel, can leave indentations on the vinyl. While all our wigs can cause such marks, this wig tends to produce deeper and more noticeable indentations due to its construction that does not employ elastic - photos on this page are an example.

The styling oil used for the wig might sometimes permeate the wig cap, producing a residue on the head. This residue can appear dark, but it's typically the oil rather than an ink stain.

It might be possible to mitigate some of these indentations by employing a hair dryer and rubbing with some thinner (like the Mr Hobby type shown in the photo). However, outcomes are not guaranteed. If you're planning to keep the wig on perpetually, these concerns may be negligible. But if they pose a potential problem, reconsidering your purchase might be in order. It's worth noting that we don't allow options to select specific wigs, omit the wig from the order, or adjust the cost by excluding the wig's value.

The 'Perfectly Imperfect' document further details issues with our wigs that you should be informed about.
