The image is used for visual identification and illustration of a typical example of a contemporary Asian ball-jointed doll, as well as the Super Dollfie brand of dolls, subjects of public interest. The significance of the photograph of the doll is to illustrate the visual appearance and style of this type of doll, in an article containing critical commentary about Asian ball-jointed dolls as well as the Super Dollfie brand specifically, in a way that words alone could not convey.

Because the design of notable contemporary Asian ball-jointed dolls, regarding which critical commentary exists in reliable sources, are all copyright protected there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any equivalent alternatives would also be derivative works. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary.
