Thanks for the input! I'll definitely mention it to Raurencio (resin and UK dealers included). I definitely agree about the company staying true to their realistic sculpts though maybe not so realistic. I think this you can see this in their Calian sculpt. He looks quite realistic but his eyes are abit bigger than real though not too big and his nose has a nice smooth shape. Of course no one has a nose that straight but that's what looks aesthetically pleasing to me.
As for the hands, I did a comparison between Raurencio and DikaDoll. It's looks to me as Raurencio's hands are abit to spread out (the thumb is too far out) and looks claw like so it doesn't quite line up with the wrist's symmetry. DikaDoll's hands are jointed and have a more natural pose. Not every doll company has jointed hands of course, but symmetrical hands in more natural poses are definitely quite nice and goes together with the body's smooth lines.

) would make dolls as realistic as the CG characters of Final Fantasy, or some of Heise's delicious artwork! I have seen more realistic dolls and I say that I am drawn to them the most. The problem with the anime sculpts is they are missing the key component of anime. The anime eyes! It took me a few years to realize why they didn't appeal to me, while I loved anime (and variations of anime). The typical bjd eyes just doesn't really make an anime sculpt really shine like true anime eyes would. But that is another thought for a different thread.
It's too bad they currently don't sell heads separately.
