I don't want to cause trouble here but I was not finding the specific doll I wanted as I needed a little more mature looking face and standing feet. I don't really regret getting the doll I did but if I were to do it again I might get the 135cm from here as my first doll and ask to customize the head. Mine is 115cm curvy little doll and probably is similar to Isabella (medium bust) or maybe the 125cm but I think several people here have since confirmed getting standing feet with the 125cm and larger dolls. Kelly V from this forum actually helped me quite a bit to not feel so worried about making the first leap buying my "entry" doll. I'm now sort of doing my homework on getting a larger doll from this site and probably, like you, have seen about every site out there charging up to and over $6000 for a single doll. I will very likely get the next doll from here either 156 or 168 (medium bust) unless they come out with a 161 medium/small bust doll. Also watch early every day under Shop menu for sale items where you can save $100 or so depending on the special. Use the Forum search (as opposed to site search) tool to enter a doll like "Ava" or "163". There are a few purchaser posts for that doll with photos. Or maybe even reach out to David to see if he has a special or display model for the Ava doll on discount. I think he still gives you a 5% discount (code: FIRSTORDER) on first purchase anyway. Feel free to share a photo of whatever you do get.

Yeah, it's easy to want to rush but hold out for a couple weeks or whatever you need. Keep researching & get what you actually want.
