I'd like to share with you the meaning behind the name "Liberty."
To us, "Liberty" represents the freedom from arbitrary or despotic government or control, independence from external or foreign rule, and the freedom from control, interference, obligation, restriction, and hampering conditions. It also represents the freedom from captivity, confinement, or physical restraint.
Unfortunately, throughout history and even today, a few people in power have caused misery for millions of people. It's disheartening to think that in a world with 195 countries, 195 people get to decide the fate of 8 billion people.
While we don't know when humanity will be liberated from this system, we do know that it won't happen anytime soon, nor in our lifetime. However, we can still work towards promoting independence, strength, resilience, and liberty through Smart Doll.
As up to 80% of Smart Doll purchases are for children, Liberty serves as a symbol of hope. We believe that children are the key to changing the world for the better, and we can help them understand that humans can only flourish as a united race if we treat each other as equals.
We hope that children will stand up against dehumanizing behavior and eradicate oppression, while adults can learn from them and support their efforts. Liberty is a tribute to the human spirit and a reminder that we must always strive for a better world.

About vitiligo and birthmarks
Before I kick the bucket, I want to encourage as many humans as possible to live life as they are instead of the way others want them to be. For this reason, you will see that many of our products symbolize and remind us of this importance. I know of folks who cover their vitiligo patch or birthmark (as I once did for the birthmark on my face when filming Culture Japan the TV show), but nobody should have to modify the way they look for the sake of others.
All humans are completely imperfect, although it may not be as obvious on the surface. For example, the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) ended up doing a scenic route as humans evolved a neck - it loops around the aorta and then back up the larynx when it could be much shorter and thus efficient. Humans also have a backward retina, which is why we ended up with a blind spot. This is because of the way we have evolved from living an aquatic lifestyle.
And then some of us have evolved to be different on the surface. There is no survival advantage of changing our appearance for the sake of others - this is something that should be left to the Mimic octopus, which does indeed rely on its ability to change its shape to survive...
About Development
While paint stencils are used to create vitiligo or birthmark patches, painting is still a process done by hand, and thus no two dolls will look the same. Some patches may appear bigger/smaller/lighter/darker and have fuzzy edges - folks should take note before considering a purchase.
Folks should not expect patch marks on the face, bust and arm to be perfectly synced in terms of paint style and color. As always, if you are worried then the best thing to do is not buy - or ask somebody on social media about their experience.
