New PIB GND

Post by Explore »

This is a copy of an older review, for doll specific posts only. The original can be found here for further comment http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=48753 . Thanks Anung :thumbs_up:

I recently had the pleasure of stopping by Manassas to pick up a delightful GND who I’ve decided to name Trixi. If not for the pictures and posts of the members here I would of never ended up with this delightful creature. Below are my thoughts after spending a few weeks with her. I considered dividing this into subjective and objective parts, but aside from the physical weight and dimensions (readily available on PIB’s website) pretty much everything I have to say are my own opinions.

Order:
Girl Next Door, Bitzy & Divina heads, realistic blue eyes, crème blush skin with light freckles, shaved pubic hair, barely there labia, pink areolas, French nails.

Ordering & Customer Service
For me ordering was a snap. After deciding what I wanted I called up Patrick and we got everything going in one phone call. After that I found that emails and calls were answered or returned promptly. I have no complaints on this side of the house.

Initial Impressions
The first and most enduring thing I noticed when first seeing Trixi ‘in the flesh’ (in the silicone?) was that she has a physical presence. It’s not easy to describe, but it’s certainly different from the impression that you get from a mannequin in a store. If you to see the doll out of the corner of your eye, you may initially mistake her for a living person. The next thing is that she is quite gorgeous, with impossibly sexy lines. Outside of any play, simply having Trixi around is quite delightful, and dressing her up and seeing her in various outfits is more fun than I thought.

Weight
Much has been said on the weight of dolls, and I think this is a significant factor in purchasing or owning a doll. Many people prefer a lighter doll, and this is one area where the GND scores. I have not weighed Trixi, but I would agree with the posted weight of 59lbs. The lighter weight and smaller size of the GND helps quite a bit with moving and transporting. 59lbs may sound like a light weight, and to some it may well be, but it is a ‘dead’ weight. If you are considering a doll and are thinking about the various weights of your options, I would recommend finding a bag of sand at your hardware store, or something similar at your gym, and moving it around a few times. This will give you a good idea of what that weight will be like in the doll. During the time I was playing with Trixi I was also playing with a RG of about 110 lbs. I would say that the RG was a little easier to carry around and maneuver in bed.

Face
In my impression the best part of the doll, and one of the main things that swung me to PIB vs Ruby (Nothing against Ruby – I may end up with one). Patrick has done an amazing job with his faces, and I find them to be among the best in the industry. The upgraded eyes are definitely the way to go, and add another level of realism. A worthwhile upgrade if you ask me. I am just smitten with Trixi’s cute little mouth and ears. The neck stalk has a flared end, which creates suction when you install the head. If done properly the head will not fall off. I read in some older posts that there may have been issues with this, and the head falling forward. This has been corrected in the current dolls. The front of the face is the heavier part, but the neck is more than strong enough to support this.

Hands and feet
I purchased Trixi primarily for play, and would not consider myself a hand or foot guy, but the detail and quality of both are impressive. Hands especially are hard to produce in art, and Patrick has done a great job matching them to the body and making them look natural. I opted to go without the finger wires and am glad that I did, as I’m sure that I would have had finger pokes from moving Trixi in the heat of the moment.

Breasts
Delightful. Pert and perky would be how I’d describe them. The nipples are incredibly realistic. How do Trixi’s breasts compare to those on a RG? Apples and oranges. I would not describe Trixi’s treasures as firm, but they are much firmer than those of a RG. Here’s where perhaps one has to make a trade off between durability and realism. I rather suspect if you made the breasts as soft as a RGs, they would be quite prone to damage, and also sagging. I think it possible that Trixi may soften up a little in time, if not, no problem. I’m quite happy with them as they are. Squeezing an attractive girl’s breasts is one of life’s little pleasures, and the GND delivers in that department. One ‘advantage’ of a firmer-than-real breast is that they do not sag at all, so they need no support, and have the most delicious projection, whether clothed or naked. Please don’t take this to mean that the GND has firm breasts, they are soft and squeezable, but not as much as their flesh and blood counterpart.

Butt
When I was deciding between the BB and the GND, aside from the weight the butt was one of my biggest concerns. There has been a good deal said about the butt of the bathing beauty, and plenty of pictures to back that up. However, when I was making my choice there was less available about the bottom of the GND and I had some concern that it may be too small, or not as curvaceous as the BB. I am pleased to say that I simply love Trixi’s little bottom. When I was picking Trixi up I was able to compare the BB and the GND side by side. Both dolls are similar in many ways. The butt on the GND looks to me to be the same one as the BB, just scaled down a little to fit the smaller body. The GND is less ‘J Lo' and more 'Petite Yoga Instructor.' The butt is firmer than the breasts, but she has to sit on it all day without squishing it!

Insert
Before I placed my order I had a strong suspicion that the insert may well not be for me. I have tried a number of fleshlights over the years and have not liked any of them. Not too long ago I came across the Meiki line of toys which I really like. The whole question of inserts is pretty individual, and I have not tried any other doll manufacturers. I was not surprised to find the ridges on the insert to be too hard for me. I turned the insert inside out, which helped, but was not as good as my super soft Japanese version. I did switch the PIB insert for my softer version, but a tear started to develop on the labia, which I wonder if the non-standard insert may have contributed to. (Patrick kindly sent me out some new labia and we are good to go) I have since gone back to the PIB insert, and have found that if properly heated and lubricated works just fine. ☺

Play
When researching dolls, this was perhaps my number one question. What is the play like with a doll? Often I found that on this subject there was little information. Having spent some time with Trixi I would say that play can be a lot of fun, but is quite different to a RG. If play is one of your primary interests, I would say PIB or Ruby are strong contenders. The design of the GND makes her quite accommodating in this regard, just move her how you want and you’re good to go. So let’s talk about positions. Missionary. The classic. Missionary is easy, and if you grab her ankles you can open or close her legs for less or more tightness, or push her feet back as far as you like – she is like a gymnast in this position! Also, placing a pillow under her bottom or raising or lowering her legs can help you get just the right angle. Doggy. The design of the GND makes her stick her little bottom out and arch her back, presenting her wonderful breasts. I love this feature. With RGs a wedge of some sort greatly enhances this position. I initially used one with Trixi, but found with the way she presents her bottom it’s simply not needed. Having the visual of that little bottom and her sexy back is erotic to say the least. For me the anal entry is a little too short and tight to be usable. Cowgirl. Definitely doable. If she kneels over you she is quite easy to bounce up and down. The same can be said of reverse cowgirl. I have stopped doing this for the time being as I am concerned that it may put too much stress on her knees. If anyone has any input on this I’m all ears. Spooning. Also doable. Just raise her top leg a little and off you go. With her fixed hip position this position is a little shallower, but it is quite easy to switch from this to either missionary or doggy. To me play with Trixi is completely different than a RG. Even if the doll could walk, talk, and breathe it couldn’t compare with the experience and connection you can have with a living, caring person. However, as a sex toy it is certainly hi end. If you have enjoyed using a fleshlight type toy, then you will likely love this. I would say that experience is commensurate with the increased price – Bang for your buck.

Oral head
The head I placed with my initial order was the Divina head with the oral capability. I have found this to be perhaps a little on the tight side, which makes me a little concerned that I may damage the head. One thing to keep in mind is that the angle of the entry goes up towards the top of the head, which is of course different than the human anatomy. This is not bad, just different. The times that I have used the oral head I have found it to be quite enjoyable. It is possible to make the most pornographic noises, and the way the entry is designed, her eyes tend to get pushed out a little as you go deeper. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud at this as she can end up with this shocked, ‘What the hell just happened' expression.

Durability
I have not had Trixi for too long, but so far have not had any problems in this area. I did tear the labia a little, but that may have been from using a non standard insert. The labia have been replaced with no further problems so far. I did see pictures of a PIB doll on the forum that looked like it had been the unfortunate star of Doll Hostel. I don’t know what happened to that doll, but I do wonder if perhaps a silicone lube was used, or if it was simply abused. It seems to me that if any tears develop (which I have not had outside the labia) STOP, then fix it. The doll is made of silicone, which is deliberately soft. If you set the doll on a nail, or drag it across something sharp you will damage it. Also, keep in mind that if you manipulate the doll with the same amount of strength required to lift the doll your odds of damaging it go up. I would say that if you’re careful and gentle with the doll it should last a long time, just like RGs ☺

A note on pictures
I am not a professional photographer; I have used a regular pocket camera without any lighting, effects, or editing. For the most part these pictures were not so much photo shoots as candids so I can remember what different outfits look like. Trixi looks better in person than in pictures. I lack the requisite skill to capture this. I will put up an album with more pictures and larger file sizes in the near future. I’ll also add Trixi to the matrix.

Things learned so far.
Stretchy clothes are a good choice to start. Anything small or one size. I got most my stuff from Wicked Temptations, Amazon, and even Wal-Mart. The GND waist is so slender in comparison with its bust and bottom that regular clothes may have a little bit of a hard time fitting. I have considered cutting the backs of shirts and putting Velcro on them to make them easier to get on and off. Speaking of which, things that tie or snap on are great. Stockings and powder make dressing and undressing easier. Powder and a heating blanket greatly add to the realism of the doll. A tangle teaser is great for brushing out wigs. Spraying a little perfume or body spray on her clothes and/or hair adds another element.

All in all, a great doll. Thanks to Patrick and everyone here.

Thanks everyone!

Sotaichou, Life-is-plastic: I took a look at the files I have. As you can already see, I'm quite taken with the Bitzy head, so almost all the pictures I have feature that. The one picture that I did come across of the Divina head features a ball gag. (Oh my!) I'm not sure if that's too far for here.

Frekka: Thanks for your comments, and congratulations on Eden and Aria. I am a big fan of both those heads too.

Whiskey: Since you asked so nicely, here are a few more. Enjoy!
