- Customizable hair integrates Afro-textured fibers via rooting techniques, allowing for styles like coils, braids, or natural curls that enhance authenticity.
- Internal articulated skeletons enable flexible posing, while weighted components add to a realistic heft and balance.
- Subtle details, such as micro-veining, freckles, and heat-activated blushing, create a dynamic, human-like appearance.
