Congratulations, on your scores. Going to Frabric and Friends in person is a dream of mine, but I don't live too close to Maryland. XD I totally get just zoning out and admiring your new doll. Can't wait to find out Gemini's new name.
Oh wow it must be wonderful to actually go to a shop to get a smart doll and not only that but a boy! You are very lucky. He is wonderful and you got some fabulous items
Hi new friend here 🖐 so great you got out of the house 👌 . I find the smart dolls so interesting. Gemini is awesome . Congrats .I loved looking around the store. Loved all the clothes you got . Thanks for sharing
I got my Gemini from Iris also. Danny never released him on his site. I was lucky enough to be able to get 2 of them. I definitely have a thing for the boys! I named them Liam and Luca. I fear I'll be waiting forever for the re- released boys.
My mother recently realized how great of a hobby collecting dolls is and is considering a road trip down, but the site says that they're doing only curbside pickup right now.
Yeah. You could shoot iris an email and see if she might take an appointment, but you’d want to know that you would be making it worth her while if you did.
Fabric Friends is fun. We very much enjoyed meeting Iris and Joe. Phoenix is a good name. Our Gemini has a name now. We are just working on his look so that we can introduce him for real🙂
It's my dream to find a partner who shares the same hobby as me. You two are so cute, it must be amazing that you both love dolls. No one in my family does, in fact, no one I know in real life likes dolls :( I love Gemini, I hope Danny sells him again someday.
John is particular about dolls. It wasn’t until we discovered BJDs that he really got interested. He came at it through photography and then just became really into the realism aspect of the clothing etc. I was a Barbie collector, then spent a brief time with American Girl, which John did not like or understand at all😆 But as to what it is like, it’s pretty great to do things together. We have quite a few shared interests but we are happiest being creative together❤️
Looks like a fun trip. Iris is so sweet (although I've only dealt with her by phone.) Dallas is to far away to make the trip to her store. lol I'm so jealous yet happy for the two of you because Gemini is one of my grail Smart Dolls. I wanted him so badly. He is in a good home with a happy family. Your clothing haul is amazing as well. Congrats on your adventure. :)
Yes originally he was meant to be Genesis twin … I was wondering if Entropy’s was used instead cause Danny had plenty of her head available to use instead of Genesis?
I’m afraid to say that my experience with contacting Iris by email wasn’t a pleasant one. It left me feeling sour. I’m glad everyone has had good experience with them though.
Hi guys I just purchased my first smart doll and I am so excited to have her and welcome her to her new home I'm from Alabama I am a big fan and a collector of small toys and I love calico
Hello, this boy doll is awesome i’ve been looking for one boy doll since last year and no luck at all, i even checked the page where you got this Gemini doll but no luck either 😭 i loved your review, thanks for sharing, do you know where can i search for a boy doll culture japan?
You could try emailing Iris at fabric friends & dolls and inquire about one. They may have some around still but not on the site. As for Culture Japan, they’re working on new ones but guy parts have been appearing in the Chaos section so some people are buying frames and shells to build themselves. But you need to have made 3 or more orders to get access to that. Otherwise it’s just a waiting game until new boys are officially released.
You said in the video that Danny gave us the pattern for the yukata, where us that? I have looked for it on the website, is it with the other free patterns?
Congrats on your Gemini - we got ours from her as well. Her shop introduced us, well Joe did, to Smart Doll in 2016. Oh! Our Billy says hello to his brother!
They are in development. Approximately 1/4 scale. Danny has shifted attention back to Smart Doll Plus now (approximately 4ft talk) and says they will come out before pocket doll. So it could be a bit of a wait
I ordered the cinnamon Chitose from Fabric Friends & Dolls after missing out on the semi-real Singularity release. I'm very excited to receive my first Smart Doll. Thanks for sharing your first male Smart Doll with us. :)
@@MyLadyDisdain I had him on layaway with Iris and when I finished my last payment and he was shipped out I realized I had no clothes for him. He would have just been sitting in his boxers so I had purchased an outfit and shoes for him on Etsy.
He really is. We’re having fun trying wigs on him. We ordered him some specific ones, but he can actually pull off some of the longer wigs that we have.
Oh wow huge congratulations on getting Gemini, he is wonderful. I would have loved to come on your road trip with you, but considering I live in Scotland UK that's not an option. I don't have any Smart boys in my collection but would dearly love one. Perhaps I will be lucky enough to get one of Danny's new boys when they are released. Why not name him Danny? xx
Well, I would like to see Scotland. 🙂 I guess the grass is always greener on the other side. 😆 We did decide on a name. We just want to get him fully outfitted before we announce it. 🙂
@@MyLadyDisdain We could start a new trend, instead of a student exchange, we could have one for Smart dolls and visit each other taking our dolls with us. You could visit me in Scotland and I could come to visit you in America, sounds like fun haha. I am excited to hear Gemini's new name :D
Hint: It has to do with being our 5th doll. 😉 I seriously do want to see Scotland some day. I have Scots, Welsh and Irish heritage. Closest I’ve been is London. (Which I love)
@@MyLadyDisdain I live as far North as it's possible to be and still be in the UK. The Shetland Islands which lie halfway between Scotland and Norway. If you love beautiful scenery, culture, wildlife, music and history, you would love it here x
We are in the USA. Pennsylvania 🙂 Fabric Friends and Dolls is in Maryland. (Just in case you were wondering we are vaccinated and travel has opened up for fully vaccinated people. We are still staying home mostly though.)
You have to pay a little more when you buy from Fabric Friends and Dolls, but if you order a smart doll from smartdoll.jp they are 52000 yen. (Around 470-500 USD depending on exchange rate)
So what do you think of Gemini? *With Danny working on a Boys Revamp, what do you think he will or should change?*
He’s actually really cute.
How about body type choices, like they do for the chest on the girls?
@@cindyhauffe6963 well he did release a slim torso and arms that could be swapped on to the macho body
Good to know. Options are always nice😉 Thanks
Congratulations, on your scores. Going to Frabric and Friends in person is a dream of mine, but I don't live too close to Maryland. XD I totally get just zoning out and admiring your new doll. Can't wait to find out Gemini's new name.
Lol that was “going to my Sandee place” captured on video 😆
@@MyLadyDisdain Lol, XD. Hope it was a reverie ( I think that means getting lost in pleasant thoughts, like a happy daydream).
Oh wow it must be wonderful to actually go to a shop to get a smart doll and not only that but a boy! You are very lucky. He is wonderful and you got some fabulous items
It was so much fun. I can’t wait to actually go to Japan and see Mirai Store.
😱😱😱😱a boy!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️yay!!!! 🎁❤️🎁❤️🎁❤️🎁🎁
I was totally surprised to pick him. I thought it would just be girls for us, but he is pretty cool 😎

She told us she has gotten a few that Danny hasn’t released on the CJ site yet. She doesn’t even know his full logic on it.
The effects and music is hilarious 🤣I love it!!

congrats! I got my Gemini @ fabric an friends. bought mine online. I named him Phoenix. 😊 🏵️

I believe that Gemini and Entropy share a face sculpt, so I wonder if new boy and Harper will be related...?
We have been discussing that possibility🙂
Yes originally he was meant to be Genesis twin … I was wondering if Entropy’s was used instead cause Danny had plenty of her head available to use instead of Genesis?
I’m afraid to say that my experience with contacting Iris by email wasn’t a pleasant one. It left me feeling sour. I’m glad everyone has had good experience with them though.
I’m sorry you had a not so great experience. 😞
I would’ve went nuts in that store. Such awesome stuff
We did go nuts. Probably would have done more damage if we hadn’t gotten there so late. 😆
I think he looks like an Isaac ore maybe something japanese...Kotaru or Izumi.
Isaac is a good name. We finally settled on one but we want to get him a proper outfit for his personality first🙂
Hi guys I just purchased my first smart doll and I am so excited to have her and welcome her to her new home I'm from Alabama I am a big fan and a collector of small toys and I love calico
Which SmD did you get? So exciting! Calico critters are really cute too.
I finally purchased my smart doll. It hurt regarding the price but I think it's worth it for such a pretty doll
Congratulations 🎉🙂👍
Yay! Congrats on your Gemini! And so many fun dolls at Fabric and Friends, especially that kitty in kimono! Thank you so much for the fun video!
You are very welcome. Thank you for watching🙂
I’ve bought from her too! They are great over there! I used to live in Maryland, pre 2014 and before I started serious collecting of dolls(2021)❤️❤️❤️
I was really surprised at the drive as we got closer. It was so rural.

@@MyLadyDisdain oh ok that’s good information i didn’t know, thank you so much, 🙏🏼 i’ll email the store and see of they have one in stock 😃 ❤️ 🙏🏼
I was never bothered by doll bodies but I felt really weird watching this at work hahahaha
I can imagine
You said in the video that Danny gave us the pattern for the yukata, where us that? I have looked for it on the website, is it with the other free patterns?
We got it in one of the Facebook groups. FYI, no instructions and not translated.
Congrats on your Gemini - we got ours from her as well. Her shop introduced us, well Joe did, to Smart Doll in 2016. Oh! Our Billy says hello to his brother!
Hi, Billy!! 😁 👋
I know this is a crazy name cause his name is Gemini what about Jimmy
He does have a Jimmy Olsen quality. We’ve got a name now, as a hint, it has to do with the fact that he is doll #5😉
Hi I’m a huge fan I wish I could afford a smart doll btw could maybe…do a giveaway ???
It made my day seeing the notification for ur video! Love ur new doll! Congrats on the new family member 🥳🛍
Thank you so much!
Nice. You mentioned pocket dolls in 1 video? Are they still around or discontinued. What size are they?
They are in development. Approximately 1/4 scale. Danny has shifted attention back to Smart Doll Plus now (approximately 4ft talk) and says they will come out before pocket doll. So it could be a bit of a wait
@@MyLadyDisdain ok, thanks. Ya think they will be the same price or less cuz smaller?
How to buy smart doll from lanka 😪😪😣
Ooo I love the Cargo green pants 👖!!
How much in total with taxes, was he at that store ?
omg i love hem got to get one
They are highly addictive!

Thanks for watching, and yay for Chitose!!👍🙂❤️
♥とても良い♥
I have Gemini as well. I haven’t spent much time with him or given him a name yet. I need to buy him a few outfits. I love him so much though.
I have to spend time with them to know who they are. We are waiting for wigs for him and I need to make him some clothes.
@@MyLadyDisdain I had him on layaway with Iris and when I finished my last payment and he was shipped out I realized I had no clothes for him. He would have just been sitting in his boxers so I had purchased an outfit and shoes for him on Etsy.

Aaa! Congrats! So jealous! I really wanted him, maybe one day he will be released.... His head sculpt is on the way out so the chances are low : (
Check with Iris.
@@MyLadyDisdain Because Danny announced he was canceled, I may have already spent this years doll budget ona new sewing machine.....
@@smallseams well that’s still exciting! 😍
@@MyLadyDisdain Yes! I hope to make lots of Smart Doll things ^---^
Love him and love your videos!
Thank you!! He’s really cool. He does have a name now, but we want to work on his look. 🙂
What is your country..?
We are in the USA. Pennsylvania 🙂
Fabric Friends and Dolls is in Maryland.
