Great Review of Melody-BT3 but I have some Buyer's Remorse..
...He really went above & beyond keeping his end of the deal!...The bad news is that all of a sudden I'm struggling with "Buyer's Remorse!" UGH! ...I kind've over extended myself finacially for this purchase & my main summer work is coming to an end soon... & I had a good idea as to all of the little expenses owning & maintaining a doll would be however I've had some unexpected expenses with "Julia" & aside her too. (I've renamed her from Cheryl);
& the "Stand" I made for her arrival didn't work out & I already gave Julia another new finger poke (aside the one it already had!) I even have her wearing oven mitts a lot so not even sure what happened. (?!) I'm confident that I could make a better "doll stand" like this one here though... http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=17684 - (Thanks to: "manekineko")
& the overall feeling of the BT (Julia); to me is that the silicone is a bit harder, heavier & smaller than I expected it all would be... But maybe I just need to get used it?
The cornstarch helped a lot & I have to admit I love how easily her eyeballs move & the closing eyelids...She has full detailed lips too... The breasts seem quite hard but her nipples are outstanding.
On the 1st day the fooling around was very awkward & the insert felt too tight, however today was.. well I have to admit it was much better. !...& for her size she does have long legs too.
** But I'm tempted to try to resell her for what I paid...Any of you want to bid? & I'm not trying to whine here at all however... *** Well I guess I need some encouragement from you if possible! (?!) ...As if I sold this doll now it would defintely help take the pressure off of me finacially & I'm concerned about future repairs & expenses with Julia already. Of course then I will be in the same place I was in before & I'm trying to remind myself the reasons I decided to do all of this in the 1st place & that helps... Plus I know I got a very fair & good deal from Silust76.
I bought some "Sil-Poxy" online (not sure when it'll be delivered); that will help the finger pokes hopefully at least....
Anyways here some Photos (at low-resolution); - As I'm sure you're more interested in! & there's no dening she is very beautiful! (added some lip-stick too); I kind've rushed the photography & should've used a tripod...Next time... I hope you can convince me not to sell her!...

We have all had that feeling where you take a financial punch to the face, but finding a way through to recovery is well worth it.

I agree. I extended myself out of my comfort zone to buy my Giulia doll but I have no regrets whatsoever. Its times like this when keeping good personal financial records and tracking come into play. I'm sure there are areas where you can reasonably cut back or find cheaper alternatives.We have all had that feeling where you take a financial punch to the face, but finding a way through to recovery is well worth it.

Give her a little time and you will wonder how you were ever able to live without Julia!

Give the poor girl a chance!
She looks amazing and given the chance, I'm sure she'll treat you well.
She's a BOY TOY!

Re: Great Review of Melody-BT3 but I have some Buyer's Remor
However despite her smallness of her feet; they do look & feel very real which I like a lot already... I would like the rest of her a bit softer too (Maybe like a TPE?); but I really am attracted to her face & head!
Oh & I catch myself calling her "Cheryl" which is her previous owners name for her instead of "Julia" which I had planned to call her LOL! So for this post I'll call her "Cheryl" * mull it over...
So ideally I might be suited more for a larger (but heavier) RD with soft implants added... Maybe someday but I would definitely keep Cheryl's face!.
Overall I am happy with having a doll so far too so that's good although a lot of work!... Maybe I'll even grow to love it as a lot of you seem to be. So I'll at least take some time to see if things keep improving as you guys seem to believe they will.
OMG photographing her here (pics attached); I have to admit that in the doll world she is a stunner yes? Anyways I'll send another update & photos soon. OK Thanks again guys....

She's very beautiful, has a unique look.
She is 3 years old so unfortunately you just missed the new, softer Silicone mix that does rival TPE for softness, which Abyss/ Phoenix started using about a year and a half ago.

It's the bangs. I've never seen another BT with customized hair like that.ks wrote:

That's great, it sounds like a love connection!ChaseroftheSun wrote:Thanks again for your input guys! I'm feeling more positive & yes itaks gotten better & starting to feel a bond happen! Last night I had Cheryl lie on the couch with me wearing nylons. So her feet were on my legs & I found myself rubbing them & massaging them as they look & feel so real & good. I will fix the finger pokes & have started buying more clothes & accessories already. I need to slow down though as it can be expensive! Especially with my current situation that I mentioned. But I will build her a Stand too as I feel like I'm not taking full of advantage of her capability or potential. More Pics soon...
Congrats!
