This character will come with a wig labeled PMS, PS or PMSK. The variances are slight difference in length (and thus may look different from the photos) and the way the wefting is designed on the inside of the wig. We do not provide options to choose.
This character will also come with the medium smooth bust in addition to the default bust.

Transcendence leads to victory
Amidst the shadows, doubt, and strife,
Transcendence shapes our very life.
When others try to dim our light,
She guides us to a soaring flight.
No vengeance sought, ahead we tread,
With silent strength, no words are said.
Success, the answer, sets us free,
Transcendence leads to victory.
This power lies within our core,
A state of being to explore.
Transcendence, our unwavering friend,
Lifts us high and helps us mend.
Embodying strength and spirit bright,
Transcendence shines her guiding light.
With her, we rise above the fray,
And show the world a better way.
Transcendence is a reminder that even when others attempt to bring us down, we should rise above the negativity, focusing on our own growth and progress. Rather than retaliating, we move forward and demonstrate our resilience, as the best response is to let those who tried to bring us down watch us succeed.
About production
Transcendence has been our most challenging character to develop since we began crafting electroplated paint masks a decade ago.This complexity stems from her fangs, where the mask doesn’t extend fully to the inner ridge of the mouth. The mask’s thickness adds to the challenge of making the fangs appear to emerge from within the mouth rather than merely resting on the lips.
Moreover, for the first time, we’re utilizing a single mask to generate a lip gradient. Typically, we invest in multiple masks to simplify the painting process for our team members without having to mask off holes. However, this time, we needed a unique effect for the fangs, which required using just one mask. We applied a light pink base layer followed by a darker shade, spraying the paint at a specific angle to achieve the desired result.
After completing the masks, extensive training was necessary to achieve the desired aesthetic. While paint masks are incredibly helpful in achieving a consistent look and feel, each character still requires individualized training for painting, even with the masks’ assistance. Paint must be applied at particular angles to compensate for the mask’s physical characteristics and thickness, ensuring full coverage of the desired areas.
Consequently, the development process of Transcendence took much much much longer than usual.
Reasons not to buy
I understand that some folks prefer 3D fangs, and I’m delighted that these folks can purchase such options being offered by other manufacturers ;-)As with all our characters - Transcendence has an asymmetrical face design - folks who are expecting machine-printed symmetrical face designs should avoid this product.

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.

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.
