About the Quality of the Product (rate 1-3, explain any 1s or 2s)
3, absolutely gorgeous and feels like a good weight. Poses very well. Doll looks exactly like the photos
Did the quality match the price?
3, quality exceeds the price a few fold (at the time I paid $625 including shipping). I would have happily paid $1000+ for this beautiful doll.
Item as pictured and described?
3, yes, exactly as pictured and described. Svetlana was kind enough to try different eyes and take pictures of those. Then she let me choose a pair of quality glass eyes.
Quality of porcelain (too thin? Rough spots?):
3, no thin spots anywhere and feels weighty. The porcelain is smooth and retains a smooth touch. Seam lines are nearly invisible in person, which is impressive.
Quality of tension (does the doll hold poses? Too loose and floppy?):
3, doll holds poses like a dream! I've had amazing posers that were resin BJD (notably shinydoll fragille III and minifee renewal A-line), and none compare to Agatha's posing range and stability. Agatha's legs do feel a little loose, but I'm picky and I can tighten them easily.
Quality of paintwork:
3, china paint was used. There is no chipping of paint. There are beautiful veins and blushing all over the doll. There are creases on the bottom of the feet and the palms of the hands. A lot of care was put into painting the details. I would critique about the eyebrow placement (sorry, I'm picky), since Agatha's sculpt is uniquely half closing eyes, so her eyebrows appear a little too high compared to her sisters. On the other hand, higher eyebrows give her a relaxed look that compliments her smile!
Quality of sculpting:
3, amazing quality of sculpting. A lot of attention was paid to the silhouette of the doll when posing. The doll is stylistically proportional and realistic when posing. Her body type is rubenesque and has a cute little belly. Her hands are beautiful, though just a little bit too big compared to her head size, but I love big hands and prefer it over short fingers.
Quality of accessories (box, stand, wig, clothing, etc):
3, quality wooden box lined with soft cloth, quality stand with heavy wooden base, quality wig (magnetic attachment), clothing is delicately made with proportional button closure, and shoes are made of porcelain and leather straps with tiny magnetic closures (which is really interesting and I had never seen it before!)
