As you may recall if you care about these things, I got Lola Paprika at a 30% discount + eyes + outfit + shipping, all for $309.00. And that was a special sales event. Now, though, it looks like the base price of their lovely ladies has gone down to $220.00 for a doll only, no eyes, faceup, outfit or shipping. <\/p>\n<p>Just to test the new pricing, though, I threw in my cart a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelsdoll.net\/shop\/step1.php?number=663\">Cat Avatar Ieseul<\/a> [who, with that faceup, obviously needs to have a silver tinsel fright wig and play in a hair metal band], then added faceup and shipping. She came to $316.96, just a few dollars more than my Lola Paprika.<\/p>\n<p><em>Clearly<\/em> I need to get one, using the outfit and eyes that I got in the Hyang renewal event when I purchased Lola Paprika. She would have tinsel hair and an air guitar!<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p>I know that Angelsdoll has an ambivalent reputation. On the minus side&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sculpts have thin, breakable resin in places.<\/li>\n<li>Elbow and knee joints look blocky; they don&#8217;t blend in very well with the limbs.<\/li>\n<li>Some people have reported long waits to resolve customer problems.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the plus side&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Headsculpts are beautiful!<\/li>\n<li>Dolls are relatively inexpensive.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I&#8217;m willing to accept the lower quality and aesthetic appeal of the bodies as a trade-off for the beauty and character of the heads, not to mention the inexpensive price of the dolls. Plus I note that Angelsdoll is constantly improving, having come out recently with an upgraded female body [shown on their new release <a href=\"http:\/\/www.angelsdoll.net\/shop\/step1.php?number=841\">Rin]<\/a> that addresses both the shape of the joints and the thin resin problem.
