So, you may or may not have noticed this. I did and she arrived today, photos later. I had to pay another $200 for pre taxes etc but still considered her as good value.

That was a great deal. The 148 b is a wonderful doll
Yup, I’m very happy so far. Still have to unbox her etc. but the actual box arrived with no visable trauma so I’m quietly confident all will be well.
I’ve just got her out of the box and slightly shocked at just how small she is once in the open air. Feel slightly uncomfortable at the moment, we’ll see if that passes.

You did well to get her in the UK. I would have been a little nervous with her being on the 148cm threshold.
Lovely sculpt and beautiful face

I’ll be honest, looking at her uncaged I doubt she’s actually that tall. Will need to get out the tape measure. From what I can see she’s went through without any drama. Box certainly hasn’t been opened and no BF tape in sight.

Yukiko is lovely. What size of clothes do you have her in? Thanks.
Xs tops if they are short. Kids size 10 shorts. If the bottoms are stretchy she can wear kids 6 and 7. We buy a lot of xs stuff from here.

Okay, thanks.
Are you feeling better about her today?
Once I changed the head, she was bought to carry a head I got a couple of months back. The Mia head is lovely but it would never have been my choice so I’m looking to rehome her.
This is how she looks now.

Beautiful combination. 
Thanks, I think so. If I’m nitpicking then the complexion is slightly too light and the head is slightly too large for the body but not enough to annoy me. Besides, I’ve yet to see an absolute perfect match on skintone between head and body on any doll.
Yeah, when I first unboxed Etsuko, my MLW 148B with the Mia head, I got a bit of a squeenky vibe. Like I was a dirty old man. Which was just me, but she was so petite and, with the b-cup and the youthful face,… yeah.
I let her stand around for a few days, fully clothed, changing outfits every day to see what style was hers. When she got on some grunge punk clothes from Romwe, I finally saw her as a young looking upper 20’s chick who has a sassy attitude and a saucy desire to tempt “older” men into losing their …er… marbles. So she’s an young woman who exploits her youthful girlish looks. If that makes sense.
But before that, I was like… “Uh, am I zooming the middle schools?”
Hopefully, you’ll get over the discomfort, because she really is a well made doll with very soft, stretchy holes and a rockin’ body. Delightful to dress up and have around the bedroom.
Back before my mom came to stay for PT. Heh. (That’s done at the end of next month. Yahoo!)

Yeah Doc, cheers. That’s sort of where I am but it looks like the Mia head might be moving onto pastures new anyway.
