Yes, good pics, well posed, tastefully done. The lighting and camera controls to help compensate for different lighting conditions all come with practice and study.

What a great start!

Great doll. I'm very jealous. What kind of vagina did you order? Built in, or insert? If insert, how happy are you with the one hiroo provided you? Just curious. I know this has been discussed to death, but I can never get enough.

Thanks.

I ordered the insert version, I figured, if I ordered the built in one, and for some reason didn't like it, I'd be screwed (not screwed in a sense). Putting in the insert seems to be a pain, become easier in time, I guess. I'll probably look into trying some other inserts, other than the ones Hiro sent. I have a hell of a time gettin in there sometimes. They should've had the entry in the middle of the insert, instead of towards the one end( looks a little more realistic that way though) , plus the hole seems awfully small, and I'm an average joe. I'll figure something out, always do

spedfish,

WOW! & welcome aboard! What an "intro"! If youv'e seen any of my allbums you know I love girls, and dolls, in jeans. You done good!

Look at the left toes, some doll.

Yep, unfortunately you're right. The hole is at the top. Not a good design. Here's a pic of the 'Red Devil'.



Get a Tokyo insert. It's bigger and people new to inserts will have more difficulty with the insertion. But it's worth it.

It's a skill. I would call the Tokyo a difficulty rating of 8 . It looks daunting at first , but with a lot of practice I can put that seemingly big azz Tokyo in my NEO in less than 2 minutes.

For those interested, I'm including a small how to guide (bottom of page).

Despite the learning curve, I've been so happy with the Tokyo I put in Happy Kitty. FYI, Happy Kitty has never been included with a photo. Now that's saying something.



The one downside to the Tokyo is when fully in it still sticks out 1/4 inch. I considered cutting it down but then you'd lose the 'vacuum' factor and man, a vacuum insert is KILLER. (Homer: "Ummm vacuum factor... " [drools]



[Optional: Guide ] How to Insert a seemingly big Insert

The factory docu always uses a stick with the insert. This isn't the best method. A stick just adds more mass to an already tight area. If you're not careful you can damage the soft insert. I could never get the Tokyo in with the stick method.

So what I do is get the legs apart (not too far, you need only wide enough for the insert). Start working the insert in one side then the other (you can use talcum on the outside but when you get good, you won't need it).

You will encounter the air that's built up behind the insert and your progress will stop.

Pick a side. Push the insert together so the air can escape behind it. Keep going, repeat.

Once it's in , it's not coming out unless the doll legs are very far apart and you break the seal. If the doll has been prewarmed get ready for a GREAT experience!

Since I switched, I've never used another insert than the Tokyo with Rini (AI original) and Suki (NEO). Wild thing is, I still haven't come close to wearing the first one out!

The Tokyo has a center hole which in incredibly easy to use. It's also AWESOME feeling. The softness, it's ribbed and that vacuum. OMG dood!

Good stuff Zarnon! I'll definitely check that Tokyo insert out, sounds good to me

IMHO the Red Devil is just good for photography purposes (i couldn't say if the vagina was fixed or insert and obviously was not the only one - which is very cool), but for the good fun check other Japanese inserts

Yeah, the Tokyo isn't the only one that fits. One of the cool things is you can swap heads and vaginas!

I had a few others I was using (including the old 'Pinkie'). But once I got that Tokyo... I pretty much stopped using the others. It's that good.

Last tip: Take it out of those boxes!! I originally stored the inserts like the photo and they began to take on the odor of the wrapping. It took a few months to get it out. If you take it out right away no problem. You can store in polypropylene bags w/out any reaction.

Right now he's working on something else. The third body is still conceptual (no prototype yet). I agree though, a larger breasted NEU would be great.

I'm sure he solicits input from more than one customer. I recall Slim put a bug in Hiroo's ear about an elf head and lo and behold...
Hiroo's genuinely interested in delivering what his customers want, which is something I really like.

He's always working on either creating something new or updating his designs. He revises stuff like insert site (much more 'slim line' now), breast softness, doll weight, etc.

Cool, a new body.. I wonder if it'll be a new member of the Neo or Neo Jr lines, or start a third line and come with a new head size? I guess only time will tell.. He usually reveals something new around Xmas new years doesn't he?

I like redheads, but a japanese girl with red hair wouldn't look right..

i've noticed some of the simpler japanese dolls are a lot cheaper than the american ones. Then again our Euro almost cuts the price in half.

Yes, back then I’ve discussed the prototype of the NEU head with Hiroo and suggested some elf ears for her, a fair skin tone and the hair colour blond. But how amazing is it that he actually made one? So unbelievable! I really thought that I was still dreaming when he showed me the first pictures of NEU. NEU feels as if he has custom made her just for me! Now NEU feels like my doll like no other one does. I’ve already said to Hiroo that I would buy her. He only has to keep her in store for me a little longer. But yes, he really listens to his customers.


But the Chris face is more a Western face. Just look at how good this face looks with long blond hair on her Doll Story page. If you would order a 4Woods doll with the fair skin tone and the Chris head with blue or green eyes and would give her a red wig I believe she would look pretty convincing as a red head. The fair skin tone of a 4Woods doll is the perfect skin tone for a redhead. I think that also their Naomi face would look good as a redhead. If only Hiroo could give her face some freckles too... But who knows maybe something like that is discussable too? Currently I’m using a blond wig for my doll, but I have some red wigs too and those look good on her too.

I think that the Natsuki face would look good as a redhead too.

spedfish,
I have to say the photos of her on the couch are fantastic-besides the fact that she's got a great ass, you absolutely nailed the poses.

Congrats on her arrival and great job....
