Update: I was going to close the online store for 12 hours to give all existing Smart Doll customers first dibs on getting Ebony. But the online store is a major source of income and closing it down for half a day would mean a loss of incremental customers and a large amount of revenue which I can't afford to loose right now.
What I will do however is send email to everybody who has purchased a Smart Doll on our online store as soon as Ebony is online for purchase.
Even if you don't get Ebony the first round - we are making a load each and every month and just like all our Smart Dolls - they won't be limited editions either so just visit the store frequently to see when she is back in stock.
Ebony will retail for 60,000 JPY and be available something this month.

Update 5 ^^;
Photos of Ebony in some of our casual apparel - some of which is available at the Culture Japan online store.
And here are the chibi representations of Ebony and Ivory illustrated by Ikkyuu-sensei.
Folks who follow my Instagram would have already met Ivory.
Sorry for the lack of updates - it's been kinda... hectic. I just done a headcount and realized that we now have 17 employees (*-*)
I'm also in the middle of opening a shop in Tokyo which is actually located in the same building as my office which is strategically very convenient for us - news about this soon.
Anyway, this is just one of the new products that I'm working on which I'm calling Smart Doll Ebony - the first soft vinyl doll to be released in ebony on a global scale.
And yes - the male Smart Dolls will also have Ebony versions.
