Hii BJD collectors! As you can realize in my account, my 1st doll was a Cortex Mirai Suenaga, at this time we could afford completely unassembled Cortex dolls and I wanted to assemble her with my dad's help, her clothing is an kit I chosed that was specially for Mirai, and I'll show very few photos since my phone is on Apple Care service in another city, so I only can use PC..but let's go to the infos. This is a Hand-assembled SMD. (She was sanded in all the glued places so most of them look like they r made of vinyl) She has poor differences next to a regular Vinyl doll, but her body complex needs to be delicately cared of, the material of Cortex is a bunch harder than vinyl plastic in usual, EVERY single piece of her outside is cortex. Also, a lot of people talk about her arm cracks that happends with a lot of people who likes posing their cortex SMDS, and is true, it actually happends a lot, is a lil hard to be careful with these details, even tho we used a VERY hard glue, and also sanded the glue marks very well, it still cracks. You can realize in the side, it has an wound in there,poor Mirai was posed to much since 2019 💔 The cortex material is hard to lead with, but I can say a lot since in 2019 I was 9 years old and she looks completely fine (nevertheless, in 2020 my lil cousin removed her poor feets out and took her eyes out,she is fine) If you see her waist you can see how me and my engineer dad are experts on doll gluing,because we sanded her waist so much you can't even see in my exploding PC camera. Here we got a cortex head,that is separated on the half of the head,not on the top, Is SOOO much easier to fit the eyes without falling them off (I personally like using ethylene Vinyl Acetate Dough) Next cortex effect is that, CARE ABOUT YOUR NAILS. DO NOT let your doll get exposed to extreme pointy stuff or strong nails,that gives her marks of rips.You can realize she got a lil harm in her cute face :c Having a cortex doll is simple. Have a safe support to make her stand, be careful touching her skin and choose protections to her body, use fabric protections in her body and keep her far away from kids. Thank you for reading that!I hope I helped in keeping anybody's Cortex Smart Doll! 😄

Thanks to a lovely mod for restoring my password 😉 I'm back on my dolly shenanigans! Scored this lovely project doll on classified ads in my country. It's a Cortex shell, but without the frame (skeleton)! First owner did such a great job with the faceup and made clay joints pearls in order to string the shell like a bjd. I added a wire frame (about 2m of different sizes) for stability. Once she's wearing long sleeves, you won't see the difference. Of course, she cannot pose as stable as a "complete" Smart Doll. But for a fraction of the price, I'll accept a fraction of the stability 😉
