Wow, thank you so much for this video. I am geeking out over the Cortex 2 and the internal components. Researching Arduino now! It is amazing that the Smart Doll team is working on the interior spaces to make the electronic components work. Yay to open-source tech! 💖
I remember in the beginning when Danny made a smart doll that had a mini-PC inside of it. He even had a full fledge tutorial about it too. It's nice to see that he is re-visiting that idea using Arduinos and other stuff. It's a little sad that the moulds are becoming difficult to source, and that the Cortex will be a higher focus, but I understand that a business needs to evolve to keep going. Also, seeing the 'Birth of Venus' doll in the background 😍😍😍😍😍
I remember way back when he was looking into making them into small Chobits, and was quite sad that he shelved the efforts to make money instead. But it is of course understandable. I'm sure the bigger models could do it, but it would also be quite expensive for any customer to buy a 1/2 scale doll with electronics inside.
The one thing I’d have mentioned to Danny if I was there would be what if there was a version, such the cortex dolls could have an skeleton frame a bit similar to the way the new Gundam models are made nowadays which looks a lot more like a robot internally
@@MyLadyDisdain yes it does … I made a robot using the silver frame … I guess what I should have said was making the frame hollow to fit maybe cables inside ?
I’m curious why if i may ask? Was because of the type of releases or because is much less focused on anime characters or because is focused on many things?
@@MyLadyDisdain Yea, I've been a bit turned off from the regular dolls due to Danny dropping the realism in favor of being more child friendly and production friendly. But I still keep track of them since I hope for a doll with tan lines which would be more important to me than nipples and genitals. Sadly tan lines is something that is difficult to get even when Danny loves multiple skin color options, he can't really mix them to have both bright and dark skin.

Glad you liked it. The new direction is very exciting.
The whole, elf on the shelf applications with cortex, is going to be wonderful! Plus the ninja application for home safety will also be amazing!
There are so many possibilities.
So freaking cool - thanks for sharing this! I just got my second smartie in and it makes me appreciate mine even more so now. So amazing!
Glad you enjoyed it. They really are a lot of work and the team takes it very seriously🙂
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Im counting the days til Cortex gets released!!! I have so many plans for cyborg characters ❤️

I realized while we were there, that Birth of Venus is Self Be True with different coloring
@@MyLadyDisdain OMG! Yes! Oh... do you think he'll do a Pear Doll in Cortex style ? 😁
He said it in the video. Pear before boys.

@@linusgustafsson2629 I would so love a 1/2 scale, but... Maybe with a payment plan option and limited slots to get it 🤔
Really looking forward to cortex and learning a new skill with arduino, but worried it won’t be adopted by people who will post helpful tutorials.
I know Barb from @Enchanterium is very interested in the arduino side of things.

I think the new evolve frame looks pretty robotic. 😊

9:17 180C x 2 + 30 = 390F, which is the wrong formula.
should be *C x 1.8 + 32 = F*
opposite would be *(F - 32) x 0.555 = C*
Lost any excitement for smartdoll 🤷♂️
Good, get out of here. No one cares. Smart Doll is amazing! Also, Danny is amazing. Sounds like you have a personal issue.
Lots of people leave and come back. 🤷♀️

@@Horus070 I find Danny to be egotistical and off putting not to mention I prefer dollfie dream dolls in every way now
