Model 16 Mini-Review and Pictures

It's now about 6 months (+/- me being out of town) since I received my model 16 body, and I thought it may be worthwhile to summarize some of my experience thus far. There's also been an earlier request for better pictures of this body type in this forum, and some of the pics from a recent photo session may be filling that gap.

This is not my first doll, and I am not going to describe the whole ordering, shipment, un-boxing process. I placed my order directly with Gynoid, and communication and delivery has been clear and without any issues. Regarding the specific body type, I settled for the model 16 body because I was going for a doll with a height of 165 cm, so between the apparently more popular(?) model 11 and model 13 sizes. I did order the model with firm feet (no bolts), implanted pubic hair, the vagina insert option and back opening for attaching a stand.

Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. The texture and feel of different body parts is great, and being an all silicon doll, there was no fumes or smell that I noticed whatsoever. The doll has a great skeleton, incl. excellent finger and shoulder motion. As some folks here may have noticed, I am taking more photos these days, also with a focus on more natural pose and gaze, and this overall flexibility is just great.

With all that, here's a few nitpicks:
  1. Fingers and toes: While the motion of fingers (and somewhat the toes) is awesome, I found those limbs super-sensitive. Over the past months, it happened a couple of times that a bone came through from the inside to the surface while dressing or positioning the doll. Don't even think about putting on finger gloves. I am usually protecting the toes with socks and stockings, but it's more difficult to do so for the fingers. Those limbs also feel softer than their real counterparts, so maybe somewhat more robust silicone is an option in the future. That said, those punctures can be easily fixed with a bit of silicone glue. The firm feet, BTW, have been working great, otherwise.
  2. Implanted pubic hair: The implanted hair wore off/disappeared over the course of a few weeks. Not much use of the doll for sex, but positioning, moving or wiping can easily pull hair, even if done carefully. Just something to keep in mind if you go for this option.
  3. Vagina insert: It's the first time I tried this option. Inserting or removing the insert puts quite a bit of stress on the opening on the main body, which has the sculpted genitalia. I did end up with one or two tears over time, which, again, could be fixed with a bit of silicone glue. Interestingly enough, I recently bought a replacement insert, which arrived with the genitalia molded onto the insert. Haven't circled back with Gynoid on this yet, but maybe there's been a design change over the past couple of months.
  4. Back opening: This is an option that provides a small hole in the upper back, allowing for attaching the doll to a stand that Gynoid provides. The stand has also a second mounting option, which connects to the neck of the doll. I had problems connecting the stand using the provided screw, which wouldn't fully screw into the nut within the skeleton; so the connection is not super sturdy, and sometimes the doll comes off the stand. When I contacted Gynoid, and they recommended to attach to the neck instead, which of course makes the back opening unnecessary.
Anyway, all in all a great doll and a pleasure to have at home. And here's a few pictures showcasing the body with a Lori head.

Many thanks, rok4d! Working my way into proper posture and gaze :) . BTW, started following you on Twitter/X. Is that the right channel for your work?

Thanks a lot, peachplumpear! The doll is quite busty, actually (see last picture), which becomes apparent when trying to find a proper fitting bra. But it's a love doll, after all... :wink:

Great looking pics! Could you share some pics of the Gynoid stand and how she mounts to it, I don't recall ever seeing pictures of that.

I don't have it set up right now, but here's pictures of the stand and the two attachments. The left one screws into the skeleton via the back opening, the right one attaches to the metal disk at the top of the neck.

Hope that helps.

Her breasts react particularly naturally to pressure and gravity, just like a real girl's breasts do.
Thanks for sharing the photos. :)

I really like this 16 model, it is well balanced (especially the rib cage is wide enough in relation to the breasts, which is not always the case with busty dolls).

Indeed, it’s a beautiful design. Plus, it's so photogenic...
