  3. How the dolls are packed
  4. The number of months it it takes from planning, to production, to assembly for a doll
  5. The number of process it takes to finalize a doll
  6. The time it takes to photograph 1 scene and more!

The video showcases some of the most popular dolls & products that are manufactured as well as insights into the creative processes behind dolls like Sugar Cups and Iris Petit Collect.
