Weekly summary 11/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 11th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Coronavirus situation. a) The situation in general. After worldwide protests in 40 countries against lockdowns and restrictions… nothing changed. Mainstream media did not even cover the massive demonstrations. Same story with Ivermectin - completely ignored in most countries. With now 46 studies including 24 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) reporting positive effects of Ivermectin, there is sufficient research proving the efficacy of COVID-19 prophylaxis and treatment protocols like I-MASK+ and MATH+ available. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. #FollowtheScience.

For background information:

b) Impact on the doll business. So far, no shipments from after CNY holidays were delivered, so we need to work with predictions from Chinese shipping agents. According to their experience, shipments to North America are supposed to take about two weeks. Shipments to EU destinations with import fees clearance take between two weeks (DHL special line, only available for miniature dolls) and 60+ days (UPS special line, full sized dolls). Small items like separate heads can not be shipped with the special services anymore, so we have set up a new method for import fees clearance and freight forwarding.

2) New arrivals.

This week, six new heads were introduced:

  • Gynoid Tech ›Ada‹ head - silicone
  • Irontech Doll ›Viola‹ head - TPE
  • SE Doll ›Mio‹ head (= SE no. 102) - TPE
  • WM Dolls no. 355 elf head (= Jinsan no. 355) - TPE
  • Xycolo ›Yana‹ head - silicone

One new body style was released:

No new head variants of existing heads were introduced.

Also, we have the New products listing on all three Dollstudio websites. It is sorted in reverse chronological order, so the latest additions to our portfolio are on top of the listing:

On Dollstudio EU, there is also the New arrivals timeline http://eu.dollstudio.org/timeline with a slightly different display style.

3) Industry news.

This regular column report about things like noteworthy events, model line changes, business updates, technical updates, and dolls in development.

Also, as of March 14th, 2021, TDF-accredited vendors are no longer allowed to link to "pages that promote dolls that are disallowed at TDF", including their own shop websites. This is a historical milestone.

4) Latest blog posts.

Our daily blog posts feature mostly new photo sets, showcasing dolls and heads in various configurations.

These blog posts are mirrored on the Latest blog posts section all three Dollstudio websites. It is sorted in reverse chronological order, newest posts on top:
