For creators, free spirits, and anyone who pursues their passions—whether it’s adults collecting dolls or individuals daring to live outside the norm—Self Be True delivers a crucial message: you must have the courage to be disliked to remain true to who you are. She knows that others will try to mold you into their version of reality, forcing you into societal expectations. But to live a life of true meaning, you must resist this pressure and embrace your own path, no matter how uncomfortable it may be for others.
Her journey is not without challenges. While humans naturally crave acceptance, Self Be True recognizes that seeking approval often comes at the cost of your true self. To live fully, you must welcome the discomfort of being different and release the need for universal approval. Self Be True embraces the disapproval and judgment sent her way, viewing them not as obstacles but as confirmation that she is living boldly and authentically.
Through Self Be True, we learn that the price of authenticity is often the disdain of those who cannot understand us. Yet she shows us that this is a price worth paying, because the freedom and fulfillment that come from living true to yourself far outweigh the fleeting comfort of conformity. Self Be True is a guide for those who dare to stand tall in their uniqueness, knowing that the strength to be disliked is the same strength that allows us to flourish.
Through her, we see that the most vibrant and meaningful lives are lived by those who refuse to let others dictate who they should be. #smartdoll “Self Be True” is the embodiment of authenticity and an unwavering commitment to living life on one’s own terms. She symbolizes the courage to be disliked, standing as a reminder that staying true to yourself, even in the face of disapproval and judgment, is a powerful act. In a world where conformity is often rewarded, Self Be True teaches that living authentically may lead to being misunderstood, rejected, or disliked—but this is not a failure; it is a sign of growth and inner strength.

Pear Body Girls
At Smart Doll Land, we recognize that everyone has their own unique standards when it comes to determining what is considered high quality or subpar. Our products are deeply infused with the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, a principle that's integral to our design ethos. This concept celebrates the beauty of impermanence and imperfection, and while many of our customers appreciate this approach, we understand that it might be perceived by some as a justification for poor quality.
It's important to note that collectors who are accustomed to perfectly manufactured, machine-made dolls may find our products different from their expectations. Our dolls, embracing the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, often showcase characteristics that stand in contrast to the flawless uniformity found in mass-produced items. This distinction is fundamental to our brand's identity and reflects a deliberate choice to value uniqueness and authenticity.
We strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with our Pear Body Smart Dolls before making a purchase. In fact, if possible, we recommend examining a Smart Doll in person, perhaps through a friend who owns one, to truly appreciate their unique qualities and to understand how they differ from more conventional, machine-made dolls.
At Smart Doll Land, you'll find that no one will pressure you into making a purchase. Our goal isn't to convince you to buy a Smart Doll; rather, we encourage you to carefully consider your decision, especially if you're used to other doll brands. We believe in informed choices and want you to be completely satisfied and connected with your Smart Doll if you decide to welcome one into your life.

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.

Before You Buy (Overview)
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:
Wig Characteristics
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.
Learn more about Smart Doll wigs
Slush-Cast Vinyl Body & Frame System
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, 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.
Learn more about the casting process
Intentional Asymmetry in Face Design
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.
