freakie-oppa Posted April 27, 2017 I hope this is a legit update now, but if it is true this time, oh no, my plans! Just when I got my new doll too, hahaha. Back to the saving up drawing board Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belpita Posted May 18, 2017 Well, I've been e-mailing with Smart Doll (mostly with Alphond, but also got a reply from Danny) regarding the new boys - Eiji in particular - and it seems they have no set release date yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If I remember, according to Baldy's Trip to Japan thread. They are scheduled to be released this year. But Danny wants to sell off the older Eijis first before releasing the new ones.

Yes, I know that. But I was given a half promise they might be available in June in time for a con. Plus, they are listed as "low in stock" on the website.

drowranger Posted May 19, 2017 According to Danny's twitter the new Crimson is going to be available this weekend and it sounds like the new torso/bust with 'headlights' and a longer neck will also be available. Personally I'm going for the torso/bust part for my old crimson. The neck always bothered me, so hopefully this new bust will look better. I wonder if he will ever make the new Crimson head available too? I do like the newer head better, but I wouldn't want to have to buy a whole new doll just for the new face. ^^; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do like the newer head better, but I wouldn't want to have to buy a whole new doll just for the new face. ^^; I think someone asked him this and he said he had no plans to offer the new heads separately. Although! You can try to email him(if you purchased a crimson) to see if he's willing to sell you the Crimson V2 head separately. I would try but I don't have the funds to buy a V2 Eiji head yet. and ditto about the torso, I'm happy he's finally putting them up for sale. The short neck really bothers me since my SmD boy wears collared shirts/suits. Although I have to wait for the milk torso to go up for sale. >< And to Belpita there's your answer, Danny is indeed waiting to sell out on his current SmD boys. (Crimson is now officially removed from the website and listed as "out of stock"). So we got to wait until Eiji sells out(if you want the milk boy) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
belpita Posted May 20, 2017 And to Belpita there's your answer, Danny is indeed waiting to sell out on his current SmD boys. (Crimson is now officially removed from the website and listed as "out of stock"). So we got to wait until Eiji sells out(if you want the milk boy) Yes, again, I know. I'm currently in contact with Alphond and Danny regarding Dokomi, so they've already confirmed this to me. I had hoped I would be able to pick up the new Eiji there, but I'll have to settle for some clothes and accessories instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freakie-oppa Posted May 21, 2017 Had a mini heart attack when I saw on Twitter that Crimson (Kai) V2 would be released. But considering that he is waiting for the stock to sell out first, looks like my wallet is safe for now. I really wanted Eiji instead of Crimson. I really like the new torso piece, though. The neck really irked me out in the first release and I'm glad he has corrected it. It looks great! I guess by the time Eiji V2 is released I'd have saved up enough, me thinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elianti Posted May 21, 2017 Figures Danny would tweet about releasing the new Crimson a day after I finally make my first smart doll purchase(admittedly, just a set of girl hands and a request for some tea-skin vinyl chips to be added in xD). I was just telling their customer support staff(Alphond for me) that I was excited for his release and hoped to buy multiple heads if possible too. xD I still need more time to save up enough for him anyway so it's all good.

drowranger Posted May 21, 2017 I was hoping that the Crimson bust/torso would be available today too. Oh well, I'll just have to keep waiting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeeP Posted May 22, 2017 That Crimson Kia is very tempting, especially for a person on the rebound after losing the Kirito lottery. At least this boy ain't limited... I am pondering... Niki P.

Ardichan Posted May 28, 2017 So how long do you think it will be before Danny releases the new head and chest pieces separately? If I were to guess, maybe a month? That's how long it took him to offer the Smart Doll bodies last year after he said he would sell them separately even though he was woking it long ago.
