  • Comment - The DoF on the topside of the doll feels pretty good, the bottom feels a bit soft in comparison (particularly where the bottom edge meets the background). Something felt off or incomplete at first- I couldn't initially figure out if the eyes were cut out or blank (even though there is some difference between the two whites). Would a completed-eyes example be more compelling? Or, rather, would it have more or less EV than the blank eyes?--Godot13 (talk) 02:35, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Personally, I'd rather have it without the eyes filled in; darumas are received/bought without filled in eyes, and so that would (for my purposes) be their "original" state. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 03:40, 30 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
