Thanks, Aeron.Aeron wrote:Thanks for the review. The amount of damage your doll sustained over a matter of days is concerning for long term durability of silicon Starpery dolls... I'd be curious if they've made improvments since June on capping the finger bones to avoid cutting through the silicon.
Yes, the silicone is quite soft out of necessity. Starpery has begun capping the finger bones, but the rest of the hand skeleton needs similar treatment. An updated design using round tubes or rods (like some other manufacturers) would be better.

I've got my eyes on Kelly, 156cm. If you don't mind me asking, would you have gone with a TPE body instead? How were the gel breast? My fear is of them exploding (during shipment). As a noob, not even sure what would be the best remedies for this. I wanted to also opt for the articulated hands, but I don't fully trust my doctor degree from hard knocks. I've read that doll hands are by far the easiest to damage even when being very cautious and careful. I'm contemplating if the upgrade is even worth it now?
Finally do you have any tips, what to look for, things you should've asked Starpery/Vendor? Things to avoid...red flags...pitfalls? Once again, thank you.
Ps. I'm also opting for the soft head for oral reasons. Thank you sooooo much for your review and images.

Hello, Herofire.Herofire wrote:Hi sirdave! I can't thank you enough for your honest review. This alone sheds so much light! Thank you. I'm so sad to hear how it ended, but I wish you the best in your next adventures. I am a total noob to the world of dolls and I'm about to make the dive into a Starpery as my very first doll.

I was unfamiliar with TPE until my WM 156 arrived. It seemed a bit more lifelike to me, but this doll does not have the foam core for weight reduction. TPE requires maintenance as well. The gel breasts on my Hedy were quite firm.
Starpery supposedly has addressed the poke thru issues with the articulated fingers since my purchase. I would inquire further regarding this feature, it is worth it for the realism.

Re: My Hedy 171C is here!
I’m just coming here from reading your review. Well, the first part of it. It’s locked. I imagine you’re in the process of sorting it out? I’m eager to read the rest.Herofire wrote:Hey sirdave62 thanks so much for your response, so my 156cm Starperry Kelly finally came in and she's amazing. The Articulated Fingers are amazing! Feels like she's holding your hand back when your holding her hands. I'm trying to post my review but it seems I hit the image cap at 10? And now I can't even find it, I'll have to put it together again. But I also got the weight reduction for mine and it took it down to 78.6lb from 90lbs TPE.
Your review almost makes me think twice about not getting weight reduction...but...we’ll have two people carrying her (Mira) soo...I think it’ll be okay..... I think.
