she was on my wishlist for quite some time and when I had these issues with Laura, Dollface offered me a replacement body. At first I did not take on the offer but when there were some more quirks with Laura I agreed. I asked if the issues with D4E and the 160 were solved and as there was no definitive answer I chose the Piper Akira 150. And so she came to arrive at my place.
After I got the factory photos it took three weeks and some for her to arrive. Three weeks where the tracking code just said - label created. Something you have to get used to, when you live in Germany. Then suddenly she arrived in Poland, two days later she was at my doorstep.
She’s a beautiful doll, her measures are a bit off compared to Pipers own website. But I think that’s not a bad thing. Shes taller than advertised and more woman.
She stands 154 cm tall, measures 80 / 60 / 90 and can wear regular EU size 36 shoes. Something easily obtainable. Although her breasts are small they are incredibly soft and I would say the best of all my dolls. A beautiful hand full and soft and jiggly. The foam core is quite noticeable but nothing too bad, because she’s soft in all the right places. And best of all she weighs only 26.6 kg and is a breeze to move together with the excellent skeleton.
Mariko is a very fun loving and cute girl. Today she danced around the house only with a shirt, socks and undies and tried to wake me up with a lovely “Ohayo!” She can’t deny her japanese roots…
Congrats Poppy! What a beauty and awesome photos! I’ve always admired this model, great to see her in real world/user photos. Definitely looking forward to seeing more!
Thank you JimPink! I had seen her promo photos, where she had a similar top and fell for her. She had a different wig, which I ordered but when I put it on, it simply did not work so well. The curly auburn one is hers now as it suits her much better.
Today my sons visited me to shoot their soft air weapons and also brought along a nice deko Katana. Marika was very delighted when she saw it and asked if she could try it…
Looking forward to more of your awesome photos! 
Happy New Year!
