Which is the right set for you? あなたにぴったりのセットは?

Smart Doll's are available in two different flavors - a "Sports Bra Set" & "Apparel Set." Guys normally wear bra's at home when nobody is looking but our Smart Doll guys don't which is why we've given them a pair of Boxer Shorts instead. If you are buying a Smart Doll for the first time then choosing either set is enough - you do not need to get anything else in addition - but extra accessories will enhance your Smart Doll experience.
If you are going to keep your Smart Doll at home or in the office and prefer them skimpy then go for the Sports Bra Set - but the Apparel Set is way better value for your cash.

Choose the Apparel set if you plan on taking them out n about - and save money at the same time as it will cost you more to buy the apparel set items separately. If you take them out in the Sports Bra Set then they may catch a cold. Alternatively you may want to go for the Sports Bra Set and then choose to customize the look and feel of your Smart Doll by buying additional apparel items. You can see what items the current Apparel Set consists of on this page. スマートドールは二つのセットで用意しています。「Sports Bra Set」と「Apparel Set」だ。スポーツブラセットにはスポーツブラと下着が付いています。ブラーを密かに家で着用している男子は世の中にいますが、スマートドール男子はそんなことやりません。なのでボクサーショーツを履かせています。

お家やオフィスで肌露出多めに展示したい場合はスポーツブラセットは十分ですが、アパレルセットはかなりお得。スマートドールを外に連れて行く目的であればアパレルセットをオススメします。スポーツブラセットで外に連れて行くと、スマートドールちゃんは風邪をひくかもしれないのでご注意ください。もしくはスポーツブラセットを選んでいただき、スマートドールのアパレルでご自分でコーディネートできます。

Which is the right body type for you? あなたにぴったりのボディータイプは？

While the head and hands will be vinyl - you have a choice of two different types of body - one is referred to as Cortex and the other as Vinyl. Both body types are pre-built.

Both are made from the same 3D data and share pretty much the same shape and form - all our apparel, accessories and body parts are compatible with both body types. The fundamental difference is the material and the way they are constructed. Vinyl being more expensive does not make it better than Cortex. Neither type is more superior than the other and they both have their own strengths depending on your needs.

To find out more about the differences then read the Cortex or Vinyl post which should give you more info to make a decision.

スマートドールでは2種類の材質のボディーを展開している。ひとつは「コーテックス」(CORTEX)、もうひとつは「ソフビ」(VINYL) と呼ばれるものだ。別途記載がない限り、どちらの材質を選んでも頭と手はソフビだ。上の画像を見ても違いがわからないという方はコーテックスを選ぶことをお勧めする。コーテックスボディーもソフビボディーも組み立て完成品だ。

コーテックスもソフビも同じ3Dデータから作られており、その形とフォルムはさほど変わらない。アパレルやアクセサリー、ボディーのオプションパーツ（胸、ハンド、ハイ足など）はどちらのボディーにも使える。両者の決定的な違いはその材質と組み立てられ方だ。ソフビはコーテックスより価格が高いだからと言ってコーテックスより優れているということはなく、あなたが何を求めているかによってそれぞれに長所と短所がある。

コーテックスは子どもや初めてファッションドールを手に取る人向けのものだ。ソフビはこのスケールのファッションドールになれたドールユーザーのためにデザインされている。初めてのスマートドール、あるいはお子様のためのスマートドールならコーテックスを選ぶことをお勧めする。

それでももうちょい両者の違いが知りたい方は「コーテックスそれともソフビ製」の記事を読んでください。

What to do if FedEx charges incorrect import duties

By Danny on March 23, 2026 By Danny on March 23, 2026

We’ve seen cases where FedEx shipments are being charged incorrect import duties - in some cases up to 30,000 USD.

FedEx told us that duties are set by customs and asked customers to contact them directly. However, we believe this may be due to currency conversion errors, as all our shipments are declared in JPY. We haven’t seen this issue with DHL so far.

With help from Smart Doll owner Rich Carrasco, we found the following FedEx dispute form:

https://fedex.com/content/dam/fedex/us-united-states/services/FedEx-DT-Dispute-Form.pdf

Please complete one form per shipment, check “Currency Conversion Error,” and send it to dutytaxdisputes@fedex.com.

While FedEx initially asks customers to contact customs, the existence of this form suggests they can submit the dispute on your behalf, which is currently the most effective route we’ve found.

In some cases, FedEx may provide a case number and place the invoice on hold while the dispute is under review. Resolution can take several months, but during this time, the charge is typically not sent to collections.

Sorry for the hassle - we know this is frustrating. If you choose FedEx, you may need to go through this process for the time being. If you’d prefer to avoid the risk, DHL has not shown this issue so far.
