"Life is what you make it - but to make a fulfilling life, you need to go above and beyond."

The brain makes up only 2% of our body mass and yet uses up 20% of our energy. For this reason, our brains have developed to be as energy efficient as possible, and one way it does this is to make sure we take the easy path - humans are lazy by default.

As hunter-gatherers on the savanna many moons ago, humans needed to expend much energy and risk their lives to scavenge for resources and hunt for food. Now we live in a society that has been crafted to be so convenient that there is little need to expend energy at all - it takes a mere 10 millionth of a calorie to click a mouse button and have food/resources arrive on the doorstep - all without the risk of being eaten by a large bird of prey.

The society we live in strengthens our default programming to be lazy through the convenience of transport, food supplies, and the Internet. For this reason, many of us continue to live in the comfort zone until it's time to kick the bucket.

Two rules govern the world we live in - "high risk, high return" and "no pain, no gain." If you find yourself in the comfort zone, you need to ask whether it fulfills your needs - if it does, then that's fine - if not, then it's time to go above and beyond.

Beyond is a reminder that if you have needs that the comfort zone can't fulfill, you need to take the risk and prepare for the pain of going above and beyond. The bigger your goals, the higher the hurdles will be and the harder you will fall when you trip on a hurdle.

Each fall will be painful, but you will have gained the experience needed to tackle the next hurdle.

The risks you undertake may be substantial, but you probably won't need to worry about being eaten by that large bird of prey.

ABOUT COFFEE

For those interested in the details, the Smart Doll Coffee skin tone is aligned with DIC-345, the Japanese equivalent of the Pantone Matching System.

Please be aware that the slush casting process used for the vinyl can make blemishes more visible on the coffee skin tone. If you consider this a potential issue, we recommend taking this factor into account before making a purchase.

Similarities to Cocoa

Many folks who have only seen the coffee skin tone online believe it closely resembles cocoa, while those who have seen it in person note that it’s distinct enough to justify it as a new skin tone. We recommend that before making a purchase decision, individuals either view the color in person at one of our events or through a friend who owns one, or wait for online reviews. We want to ensure that no one feels pressured into making a decision.

The comparison photo on this page highlights tea on the left, coffee in the middle and cocoa on the right.

ABOUT TAKING PHOTOS

We often hear feedback suggesting that our darker skin tone dolls pose a challenge to photograph. For those finding it difficult, consider researching photography techniques or trying out camera apps that offer adjustable exposure settings.

It's worth noting that this advice isn't exclusive to our darker skinned dolls - it can equally apply to our lighter skin tones, where overexposure can be a concern. A slight adjustment of exposure settings (and willingness to learn) can go a long way in getting the perfect shot ;-)

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. (images 1 - 4)

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. (images 5 - 8)
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. (images 9 - 12)
