The tool no doll shop will build
The True Cost Calculator
A "$1,500 doll" is not a $1,500 decision. Estimate your realistic first-year cost — duties, care supplies, storage, add-ons — before you commit.
Sanity check: full-size TPE typically $800–$1,800; full-size silicone $1,800–$3,500; torsos $150–$700. A price far below these ranges is a scam signal.
Some countries restrict or seize these imports. See the shipping & customs guide.
Closet rods bend under full-size doll weight — budget real storage, not hope.
