The launch of the Smart Doll Coffee skintone will follow a similar approach to our previous pear body girls release. To help our small team manage logistics, inventory, and workflow efficiently—without extending working hours—we will initially release Divergence in Coffee as a bundle with the medium smooth bust. If you prefer a standalone version or a different character, you’re welcome to wait.
As operations stabilize, we plan to offer Coffee Smart Dolls as standalone purchases. While there may be instances where these dolls sell out quickly upon release, similar to our pear body girls—now consistently in stock—we anticipate that Coffee dolls will soon achieve a stable availability pattern.
The release of Coffee pear body girls will come after the classic versions, mainly because we have more production molds for the classic models.
This phased approach allows us to balance meeting demand while maintaining quality, ensuring that our team isn’t overburdened.
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 people 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.
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 ;-)
