Rather, this is a quick post about initial impressions, as a new, first-time DS owner, about what you, the DS community, were right about, and wrong about. So let's go then...
You Were Right
Ordering from DS (from the USA) is a buttery-smooth, first-class experience. John deftly handles questions, and order changes, and the process makes sense and couldn't be easier. The doll shipped via DHL and it got here so fast they must have strapped it to a rocket (3 days). Packaging was thorough and though the box looked like it had a rough ride on that rocket, the doll itself was unharmed.
First impressions of the 167: wow, this body... I mean, this body. Really perfect proportions, her ass is everything you've heard, great legs. Really, this is about as sexy as a doll body gets, which is plenty sexy.
Weight, well, maybe I was prepared to be having to lift a refrigerator, but I found her surprisingly light. Now, I'm comparing this to having had the experience of owning a 105-pound doll from another manufacturer, so I'm guessing the 167 is around 80-85 pounds, and to me at least that's manageable.
Skin/silicone. Very, very soft, very smooth after powdering. I'd say she reminds me of a 4woods in softness but with a slightly less realistic appearance/tactile feel. Very happy with the quality and feel of the silicone.
Which brings us to another thing you were all right about: attractiveness. Now, having finally spent a few hours with one, I get it about the appeal of DS dolls, and it is rather different than the products offered by some other companies. You see, this doll is very, very doll-like. It's deeply appealing and alluring to look at in its doll-like perfection. It isn't trying to be totally realistic, it won't fool anyone that it's a real person, like some other high-end manufacturer's dolls might, yet this lack of total realism gives the doll a uniquely charming presence. It's ... whimsical? I'd say DS are making idealized, fantasy figures. Whatever the case, I'm quite happy with the result.
What You Were Wrong About
So then, what did you get wrong? Well, one thing really. None of you ever order the right face with your doll. It's all Kayla this, and Lilith that, and Penny this and Sandy that and on and on... All wrong I tell you! The correct answer is Hanna. Hanna with green eyes, and strawberry blonde hair. And I have the pics to prove this below.
In any case, I'll be honeymooning as far as the eye can see (quite far), but will try to post a proper set of pics of and notes on Vanesa, when the spirit moves me.
Overall? Yeah, DS. They freaking rock...
