Dear Starpery fans
Starpery's Weight Reduction 4.0 technology has been on the market for 4 months. Thank you for your hard work in promoting this new technology. We have received a lot of orders. The release of Weight Reduction 4.0 mainly focuses on customers' demand for lightweight models. At the same time, we use upgraded ultra-soft silicone material to meet the demand for increased softness. However, as we all know, the softer the silicone is, the lower the compressive strength and elasticity. Therefore, customers need to be more careful and a little gentle in the daily care and use of the dolls.
So far, we have sent out some orders and at the same time received some positive feedback and suggestions from users. After comprehensive consideration, Starpery decides to make adjustments to the W.R. 4.0 production. Starting in September, we will provide customers with two silicone versions to choose from:
1. Normal silicone material, which we have been using in our W.R. 3.0 production for a long time. Better care of the dolls, better pressure resistance and elasticity, but lower softness than ultra soft silicone.
2. Ultra soft silicone material. Super soft and more realistic like a real woman, but with a slightly lower pressure resistance and elasticity.
Both silicone versions use W.R. 4.0 technology when producing, only the silicone materials are different and the weight reduction effect will not be too large. If customers have high requirements for softness, we recommend choosing the super soft version, but do not be too violent when using. If customers prefer the durability and easy care of silicone, please choose the normal version.
In addition, in order to expand the influence of W.R. 4.0 technology in the doll industry, Starpery will hold a large price reduction promotion for W.R. 4.0 dolls for a period of time. The end date of this activity has not been determined yet. We will adjust the price according to the market response and our own costs. From September 1st, all W.R. 4.0 dolls will be sold at the same price. 4.0 orders will be charged according to the new quotation.
Because the production of W.R. 4.0 is very different from the normal weight reduction production, all molds need to be redesigned. Currently, only some of the models in the quotation can be arranged for production. We are still working hard to prepare the rest of the doll molds. Hopefully, all Starpery bodies will be available before November. In addition, before other bodies can be produced on W.R. 4.0, the prices are still based on the anniversary promotion prices updated in August. The prices of TPE dolls will remain the same.
The production time for W.R. 4.0 orders is 4-5 weeks. If additional upgraded features such as model heating and clamps are added, the production time will be extended by 1-2 weeks. Because adding features will affect weight reduction, our factory is still working hard to make adjustments, so the production time will not be significantly longer.
Regarding transportation, we recommend only choosing express and air freight, the slow transportation by rail and sea takes too long and may cause damage to ultra-soft dolls. And body dents during long-term transportation are normal, we cannot provide after-sales service/replacement on this!
Best regards,
Your Starpery customer service team
