Introduction

Shiki Ichinose (一ノ瀬志希) is one of the main cast members from the hit game series "THE IDOLM@STER CINDERELLA GIRLS" and now for the first time ever as a 60cm (23.6 inches) tall fashion doll.

Included with Shiki are the following items - all entirely handcrafted in Japan.
Blouse, Skirt, Cardigan, Necktie (Iwakuni)
Socks (Kyushu)
Vinyl Loafers, Wig, Shoes, Eye, Stand, Body (Tokyo)

Just like the previous IDOLM@STER Smart Doll Mika, Shiki is also a fully assembled “Cortex Hybrid” Smart Doll. This means that her head, upper arms, shins and hands are made of vinyl, while the torso, bust, thighs and lower arms are made of what we call Cortex (Asaflex material).

About pre-ordering

Before you part with your money, we ask that you understand the product specs which require reading of the following. 

1. What is Smart Doll
2. Before You Buy
3. Product-specific reasons not to buy (noted below)

We expect to complete shipping by July 30th. This means your order may take until July 30th to ship out. Any "where is my stuff" questions asked before July 30th will be canceled and refunded as we presume folks need the product faster than we can prepare.

The order open time is not disclosed to prevent DDOS attacks by bots.

This item is a limited release and orders will close once we reach the amount that we are able to make for this batch. However, we may need to cancel orders placed by scalpers or bots. In this case, we will restock and open orders again. If we do open orders, shipping will be within 4 weeks.

Orders are limited to one per person. Folks who “accidentally” ordered two will have their order canceled and unfortunately won’t be able to place an order on the store again.

Accessories ordered at the same time will be shipped together with this character.

Reasons not to buy

This section is very important - we do not want you to be disappointed with your purchase. We set expectations and expect you to understand them before parting with your hard earned cash.

1. The wig has been styled but you need to add some mousse around the fringe, sides and especially if you want the ahoge (the tuft of hair springing out from the top of the head). Watch the video embedded on this page to see how to do this. We used a mini hair iron (like this one) but you should be able to manage without.
   
2. All soft vinyl parts may have some solidified vinyl drip on the inside which include the base of the shoe - this does not affect the stability or functionality of the product.
3. Elbows, wrists, ankles are in the form of a ball and the body has visible parting lines and screws.
4. Knees do not bend more than 90 degrees.
5. The loafers are made of a harder vinyl for standing stability but means that they are difficult to put on without heating them with a hairdryer. Please do not burn yourself or anybody with the hairdryer.
6. The loafers are hard to put on but once on there is a gap at the back of the heel.
7. The wig is not attached and must be attached by the customer.
8. The eyes are pre-attached using blu-tac.
   
9. The doll is not dressed - you have to dress her yourself.
10. This product skin tone is MILK which is a discontinued skin tone. We do make milk option parts from time to time but do not guarantee when or how many.
11. If parts need to be replaced, you may end up with vinyl parts instead of Cortex parts.
12. If buttons come loose or fall off the shirt or cardigan, the customer has to use the spare buttons included to reattach them.
13. The Cortex body is much harder than soft vinyl and will attract scuff marks. For this reason we include some sponge sandpaper which can be used to make any scuff marks less obvious.
14. Torque on ankles may not feel as tight as other joints.
15. While you can order other items with this character, we cant merge any subsequent orders that you place.
16. More expensive than previous licensed Smart Doll products because we choose a method of production called Cost to Design.
17. Limited in numbers because we want to focus on the quality of product and our team members' welfare.

Warning to resellers

As part of our anti reseller/bot measures, folks who purchase from this site for the first time will need to answer a few questions which are sent from our team members. Folks who cannot answer the questions will have their order canceled and refunded.

Folks who have only purchased licensed or limited edition products from this site will have to show evidence that they still possess those items. If evidence can't be provided, orders are canceled and refunded.

Warning to folks who buy from resellers

About fraud filtering

We process thousands of orders on a regular basis but in order to do so, we need to use automated risk assessment tools to flag orders which have a high risk of being fraudulent. Any decision to cancel an order is final and we reserve the right to not reinstate the order or disclose details/reason for cancelation.

About anti-bot measures

Bots are automated programs that place orders. To minimize the chances of bots placing orders, the human customer has to answer some questions in the form of checkboxes and a text field. The free answer question will be about Shiki Ichinose - the buyer may already know the answer or can find out by asking Google Sensei.

The answer has to be in half-width single-byte characters (Japanese, Chinese full-width will not work) and must be typed in the same case that is officially used. For example - NASA instead of nasa.

The question and checkboxes will appear when the product opens for orders. You really need to read slowly before proceeding instead of checking all boxes. We will not answer any questions regarding the checkboxes or the answer. The Before You Buy document and What Is Smart Doll page has a hint to which checkboxes should be checked.

If orders reopen for this product, the passphrase will change.
