Pics look great, I can't wait to see the doll in some clothes. . . not too many though!
Really glad to hear the insert softness has improved a great deal, the one I bought a few months ago was far too hard to be usable, it really needed them to take note and improve and by the sounds of it they have done.
Well. . . I hope your already getting to know your new lady and having a great time with her!
All the best, Flash.
Hi Flash, thank you, yes, you have been very busy as we all can tell, rescueing russian pricesses and fighting through talc powder deserts. I´ll do some more shoots in the upcoming weeks, and get acusstomed to the softness of the insert.
Hi orbital, yes, there was a whole lot of stuff in the box, and it´s been even 3 heads, with Mademoiselle Fabienne, the Nanase head.Orbital111 wrote:Congrats Chris! It looks like a lot of fun stuff came in this package. It's so great that you get two heads. They both look really great & I can't wait to see more.
Hi LDV, thank you, I´m still amazed that she was able to stand at ease on her own, I´ll order some ballerinas and a doll stand though as I don´t want to risk any damages. I´m sure they´ll appreciate the extra care.LaDollyVita wrote:Chris - Thanks for sharing your impressions and walking us through the uncrating. I'm really so excited for you! I hadn't really considered the softer silicone mix might have implications for standing photos, but I assume a little care goes a long way and standing is not compromised. I'm looking forward to whatever comes next in your journey. All the initial photos are appreciated!
Hi dustknight, thank you, I´m pretty sure they´ll produce all the dolls with the new silicone in the future. I guess two different silicone mixes aren´t easy, although Brigitte, my Mechadoll, produced in France, has a harder silicone for the hands and feet. DS Dolls France is the official vendor of DS Dolls for the european market.dustknight wrote:Hey brigittes hubbie, congratulations on getting the new and improved soft silicone skin!brigittes hubbie wrote:EmLaFa, I like that. Yes, the softer silicone has it´s disadvantages for sure. I´ll be axtra careful having her stand on her softer feet. Otherwise it´s amazing. I did take a few pics and opened threads for all three of them in the DS section. Enjoy, and thank you!

PS: Yes, Bruno was amazing, and I´m very happy to have ordered them from DS Dolls France- that way they turned out to be french as Brigitte and Martine.
I'm wondering if all the new orders (not sure if you know) will have the new soft silicone? However, it seems that it would be good if DS Dolls made the feet of the new dolls with the older silicone solution mix.
Also, what is the difference beween DS Dolls (dsdoll.us) and DS Dolls France?
Hi Nova, the injury is pretty minor indeed, I guess there won´t be anything to see in one or two days. If a small scar stays it´ll remind me forever at their coming home day. They are amazing. Thank you.Nova-I wrote:Wow! Congratulations Chris. She looks amazing! I'm glad she made it home safe and sound. I'm terribly sorry to hear that you ended up hurting yourself while transporting her into your flat. I am quite re-leaved that your injury was only minor and didn't hamper your unboxing day. And wow! What a pleasant surprise it must have been for you. To be one of the first recipients of DS' new soft silicone blend. Again congratulations! Happy honeymoon!
