Yes, it’s safe and reliable. I’ve been window shopping at Dolls for the past year and finally made the plunge. I kept coming across this elf design and thought it was very whimsical! When it finally arrived I was very happy to see the doll and the design was everything I expected! Whoever has dealt with this doll has done a good job. The details are great, pleasing to the eye. Sometimes the doll drives me crazy because I live alone and when I enter the room where it is it scares me a little, because of the quality it looks almost real.
