I received my BiDoll pearl by the incredibly talented doll master Rafael a few months ago. I'd like to share my joy and express my gratitude to Rafael for creating such a miracle, I wish her nothing but success, and for all her goals to be reached and surpassed.
When I first held the box I couldn’t help but notice how heavy it was. At first I thought it was due to all of the shipping materials that must have been used to protect such a treasure, but upon removing all of the packaging I came to realize the doll’s box was what weighed so much because it was made of wood!!!! It was quite heavy and sturdy!!! I remember thinking it looked like an old treasure chest with its stunning removable lid, antique finish and brass legs and latches. The inside of the box was just as impressive as the outside; it was lined in satin with a pattern of meatal studs throughout.
Inside the chest my porcelain treasure was wrapped in a gorgeous jacquard embroidered mattress of reds & golds tied with a green satin ribbon. Beside the mattress bundle that was my doll was yet another surprise, a small red box with the BiDoll logo and tiny metal latch. The inside of this lovely small box was lined with the same red and gold jacquard embroidery as my dolls’ mattress and contained, a pair of cotton gloves with the BiDoll logo, a small vile containing a grasshopper (it looked so real!!), a bracelet with a BiDoll hand pendant and my Pearl’s certificates of Authenticity, a letter from Pearl to me, and her lifetime warranty, in case anything where to happen to her. As if all of that weren’t amazing enough, Rafael included a doll stand for my Pearl, and her gorgeous outfit!!!! An embroidered veil, which was so beautifully detailed and soft to the touch, and a wreath made of pearls. I kept trying to catch the glint of gold embroidery and rhinestones on the veil, but it was so hard to capture through photograph.
With all of these hidden gorgeous surprises I almost forgot about the most important treasure held by this chest of all…. My BiDoll Pearl.
I was immediately taken aback by BiDolls’ incredible range of motion. Her range of motion was truly unlike any other doll I’d ever handled before. She could sit cross-legged with her head on her knees and maintain the pose without the slightest movement. I was in shock!!! She poses like a human model!!!
Her porcelain is such a lovely color and shines a little like mother of pearl. I am officially in love with these gorgeous dolls, and I hope this is not my last doll Bidoll.

Congratulations! She is exquisite in every way. In particular her hands are amazing--I love her delicate and graceful fingers, and tiny wrinkles and folds on the knuckles and hands. Her figure is sexy and sensuous, she is sculpted and painted so well, her curves looks soft! Incredible. And saving the best for last--her eyes! They are painted so beautifully and realistically they look almost wet.
So a couple of questions if you don't mind, how tall is she and is she strung with elastic or sprung with springs? Please feel free to share many more pictures of this stunning doll if you are so inclined!

Rafael used elastic string on my doll, but recently she told me that she is going to switch springs and strings on the new dolls. When she is in Moscow she will change some elastic strings to the springs on my doll. But , even now the doll moves very well. The doll is 43cm tall.

Osmushka, congratulations on your stunning Pearl. She is amazing!
I am very excited that Yana decided to use a spring system on her dolls, this way the elastic doesn't have to be changed from time to time.

Osmushka- CONGRATULATIONS ON PEARL!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing your box opening, she is such a gorgeous and special doll. I love all of the thought and details that went into the packaging, the outfit and of course Pearl herself. It really just makes the whole box opening experience all the more special opening such a beautiful doll encased in such a gorgeous box. I never do box opening pictures, but when I receive my Cherry Blossom from Rafael I am going to have to make an exception seeing as to how magnificent it all is <3 ~Anthony

Oh thank you for the box opening pictures. She is a wonderful doll. Very different and on the forefront of doll engineering. I love well engineer dolls. I also like that she has such a lush figure and she looks incredibly pillowy. Also her face has a touch of the alien. It is hard to imagine she is porcelain and not flesh. Lovely doll.

She is truly amazing and thank you so much for sharing her box opening with us. I love the attention to every detail that was payed by the maker, everything is so personal and somehow my favourite detail is that there was a letter from the doll to you, I think that's so cool!
