While Spock may have been right given the situation in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, I also feel the needs of the few should be made known to the many. Spock once said "Logic clearly dictates that the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." For kids with super hero strength that do manage to break something, the 1 year warranty and aftercare beyond ensures that Smart Doll will be a child’s learning companion for many years. The internal skeletal frame enables Smart Doll to stand on its own two feet and also to hold its pose for play variety and photography. The other kids that work on the design are actually us - big kids that want to continue being creative rather than throw away our love for something nostalgic. These structures are developed with the help of kids around the world living in different climates who give feedback during the development stages of each new design. The Smart Doll body houses a skeletal frame that has evolved over the years to include stress absorption structures minimizing the chances of a child breaking something.

With this in mind, we never cheap out on materials or workswo/manship thinking that kids won't notice - because they will and they do -) In fact, neural pathways in the brain form much faster and longer-lasting during the early years - meaning that kids know much more than you think. When I was a kid playing with Star Wars figures, I would think to myself "why does this stormtrooper look like he's got constipation" and "why does Leia have dots for eyes." Just because kids are younger than us, it doesn't mean that they know nothing about design and quality. Even though we have rapid prototyping technology and precision tools to create perfect carbon copies, we instead choose to embrace the irregularities and imperfections brought about through the handcrafting process and in doing so create something which feels unique, natural, and familiar.īefore you continue to learn more, take a look at the following short video to see how we make Smart Doll. Wabi-Sabi states among other things that beauty can only be achieved if there is a correlate amount of imperfection. Wabi-Sabi is a set of 7 zen aesthetic design principles of which we focus on 3 which are FUKINSEI (imbalanced, imperfection, asymmetry), SHIZEN (naturalness, free of pretense) and DATSUZOKU (unconventional). While the aesthetics of Smart Doll are based on Anime/Manga (Japanese cartoon and comics) culture, the core concepts behind our product design and company philosophy are based on a set of Japanese design principles known as Wabi-Sabi. The design of Smart Doll is heavily influenced by various aspects of Japanese Culture. Hollywood studios such as Warner Bros., Japanese animation studios such as Sunrise, the Japanese government, consumer brands and educational institutes have chosen to partner with Smart Doll as part of their business and operations.
