Terms and Conditions
Read the following carefully, as your purchase or use of our product(s) implies that you have read and accepted our Terms and Conditions. (We reserve the right to change or modify current Terms and Conditions with no prior notice.)
1. Description of the doll
This designer jointed doll is a work of art and a handmade object.
There is an author’s brand inside the head. Each doll has a serial number, which is written in the certificate of the doll. The presence of a certificate is a guarantee of the authenticity of the doll.
The doll’s body consists of plastic parts assembled with elastic bands of various thicknesses. The joints of the parts (hinges) are glued with hot glue in order to eliminate friction of the parts against each other. Sticking of glue is allowed if the doll has not moved for a long time.
The hands, feet and face are detachable parts that are attached to the doll’s body using magnets, locks or hooks. To replace the face, you just need to carefully pull it, holding the doll by the back of the head and applying a little effort.
All the magnets in the doll’s body are attached with cyanoacrylate glue, and held in place with a polymer that gives a very strong bond. But sometimes the magnets can come off, this is extremely rare. Removing the magnet is not a defect. In case of peeling off the magnet, you can glue it yourself using any resistant glue.
When molding dolls, a special additive is included in the plastic, which makes the parts resistant to ultraviolet radiation and color fading. However, the effect of this component does not apply to the doll’s coating. The painting can “fade” when exposed to ultraviolet radiation, so you cannot leave the doll under the open sun for a long time.
The dolls are molded from high quality polyurethane, which has a high Shore hardness and is highly resistant to stretching and bending. However, the smallest parts such as fingers, ears and thin parts of parts are the most vulnerable and can be damaged if the doll falls or other careless impact.
The doll is not intended to be played and should not be given to children. This handmade designer doll is a “subject of admiration” and requires very careful handling.

The package with the doll is considered lost only if the mail has provided the author with an official letter stating that the package has been lost. The legislation does not regulate the deadlines for postage for international shipping, so the delivery time for the doll can range from several days to several months. During the postage period, the client cannot make any claims to the author about the delay in delivery.
Paired promotional orders will be shipped to buyer’s specified address. Promotional orders cannot be split or sent to two (or more) addresses.
9. Additional services
Painting of faces, body, making wigs by the author to order is not carried out. Usually, along with the main pre-order, several fullset dolls are produced with face and hand painting, clothes and a wig.
Painting and make-up of the doll is performed by the author in a mixed technique using acrylic, oil, watercolors, soft and hard pastels, and fixed with persistent acrylic varnish with the UV protection.
The lacquer coating of the doll is only protective against the wiping of paint from the doll’s body. The painted surface of the doll’s body should not be exposed to friction and interaction with aggressive substances such as acetone, liquids containing acetone, alcohols and other solvents. The painted doll can be wiped with a cotton swab dipped in clean water.
The fingertips of the hands are the thinnest and most vulnerable places where damage to the painted coating occurs first. To avoid this, it is necessary to avoid rubbing the doll’s limbs against accessories, shoes, etc. The painted doll must be placed on a soft surface, rubbing may also appear from interaction with a hard surface at the places of friction.
Upon receipt of the doll, the client must carefully examine the doll and immediately inform the author in case of significant deficiencies.
The significant disadvantages of body painting include:
- swelling of the varnish coating, discharge of the paint layer.
Significant disadvantages do not include:
- scuffs of paint formed due to careless use of the doll, contact of painted parts with hard surfaces and aggressive chemicals.
The service life of the painted surface is not limited and depends only on the terms of use. Wigs dyed in bright colors can stain objects in contact with them when wet. The first time when combing out a wig, a small amount of hair may fall out, this is considered normal.
The service life of wigs is not limited and depends only on the conditions of use.
