In 2013, during the early stages of Smart Doll's development, the prevailing opinion was that the market didn't need another vinyl doll brand. Ironically, this consensus only strengthened our resolve and helped us overcome the hurdles of launching a product that has now thrived for a decade.
By 2019, as we were developing our semi-real style characters, we encountered similar skepticism. Critics argued that vinyl dolls should stick to anime styles. Yet, this skepticism became a driving force, guiding us through the intricate process of creating our semi-real characters. The production of these characters is labor-intensive, requiring more than double the paint masks of an anime character. Despite these challenges, they have become a significant part of our brand, enabling further development of new anime characters.
In 2023, when introducing the pear body shape, we faced déjà vu. Critics believed doll bodies should adhere to traditional slim forms. However, such criticisms only spurred our innovation. The pear body, despite its anatomical complexities, offers a broader range of motion than our Gen 2 Smart Doll classic bodies.
For entrepreneurs, the dichotomy of support and criticism is a familiar terrain. While supporters embolden our endeavors, critics – even those who may seem discouraging – can unwittingly compel us to reaffirm and strengthen our vision. It's essential not only to hear all voices but to discern and extract value, even from skepticism. Constructive criticism has been invaluable, encouraging us to refine and innovate continually.
However, it's crucial to recognize when criticism is meant to dissuade rather than improve. Remember - it's better to create and face criticism than to do nothing and be critical of others.
Marvel embodies this spirit where her name symbolizes the awe and wonder inherent in defying conventions and pursuing innovation. She represents the courage to challenge norms and revel in the journey of creation, mirroring our dedication to diversity and creativity in the face of skepticism.
Before You Buy
At Smart Doll Land, we recognize that everyone has their own unique standards when it comes to determining what is considered high quality or subpar. Our products are deeply infused with the Japanese philosophy of Wabi-Sabi, a principle that's integral to our design ethos. This concept celebrates the beauty of impermanence and imperfection, and while many of our customers appreciate this approach, we understand that it might be perceived by some as a justification for poor quality.
It's important to note that collectors who are accustomed to perfectly manufactured, machine-made dolls may find our products different from their expectations. Our dolls, embracing the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, often showcase characteristics that stand in contrast to the flawless uniformity found in mass-produced items. This distinction is fundamental to our brand's identity and reflects a deliberate choice to value uniqueness and authenticity.
We strongly encourage you to familiarize yourself with our Pear Body Smart Dolls before making a purchase. In fact, if possible, we recommend examining a Smart Doll in person, perhaps through a friend who owns one, to truly appreciate their unique qualities and to understand how they differ from more conventional, machine-made dolls.
At Smart Doll Land, you'll find that no one will pressure you into making a purchase. Our goal isn't to convince you to buy a Smart Doll; rather, we encourage you to carefully consider your decision, especially if you're used to other doll brands. We believe in informed choices and want you to be completely satisfied and connected with your Smart Doll if you decide to welcome one into your life.
