DS "Serena" - first time buyer
I'm a first time buyer and all many, many choices is overwhelming! I have narrowed my selection to two; <removed> and the DS "Serena". DS is significantly higher priced, but this doll has really caught my attention. This is the first "mature" head that I've seen that really looks correct (and Everhard's pix confirm that). So, if you don't mind, a few questions from DS owners regarding makeup, skin tones, genitalia, and joint type if I may?
1. The Serena head (via a vendor) seems to have the Studio makeup option available (but not on DS website). If I could, I'd have DS do the head identical to the Pro-shots, no matter the cost, in a permanent way as I am NOT an artist in any fashion and can't be trusted with even a lipstick! Has anyone gotten this feature and how does it compare with the standard makeup IRL?
2. The pro-shots I've seen of her on Doll House San Antonio are spectacular and the pix details indicate the yellow skin which I have heard is a bit translucent, but gives her that distinct Asian flavor. Any yellow skin owners comment on how it appears IRL?
3. Genitalia inserts vs 145 or 167 EVO fixed. The inserts all look large and unappealing. Thinking i may need the old "2 by 4" strapped to my butt... I'm not a very big guy and those things look like they're better for a porn star. Are these better for more "gifted" members?
4. Loose joint vs tight. I'm preferable to a more natural movement as I'm not interested in posing photos. Are there any serious cons to the loose joint skeleton in bed?
Sorry for my noob ignorance, but these buggers are expensive and I REALLY don't want to be disappointed. We buy from the photographs we see and my expectations are pretty high.
Thanks for all your help in advance!

Re: DS "Serena" - first time buyer
In the past, I owned a DS145+.
I can only answer questions 3 and 4 so here goes.
I had an insert for her. Really easy to clean after banging her. I am slightly above average length, average or a bit below average girth if there is such a thing.
I had no problems "fitting" in her insert. Wasn't too loose or too tight. Also, the insert wasn't tough to get in and out of her. At least I had no trouble.
As far as loose joints go, My 145+ had tight joints. My girlfriend has a DS 145- with loose joints.
If you ever want to pose her for doggy style or anything other than missionary, you will have a pain in the ass with loose joints. Could definitely be a boner killer if she won't stay in position and you have to keep trying to move her back the way you need her to be.
My tight jointed doll could do any sex position and hold that position for the whole ride.
And, the tight jointed ones are easier to move in general in my experience.
If you do a bridal carry with tight joints, she stays that way when your carrying her.
If you do that with a loose jointed doll, the whole time your carrying her, she will just want to straighten out and resist the position your trying to carry her in.
At least that was my experience.
Hope that helps....

Re: DS "Serena" - first time buyer
gonestill77 Glad to hear about the "fit". The vid clip I saw gave me the impression of "a loose floppy balloon-like" doodad. Not very appealing! Also, I'm 5'9 and into "standing rear alignment". The 145s to me seem short, but how is that comparatively for you? BTW, who's the chick in the green dress of your group thread and what's her height? Nice!
Pumpster, yeah I like to lay and chill, maybe a quick roll so that natural feel is nice for general purpose. On the other hand I like puttin' on the dog as well. I might need 2 bodies then; one tight and one loose. I can use the tight in the shower and for those edge-of-the-bed adventures and the loose just stays in the bed 24-7. Nope gonna need a closed eye head too...
Damn, ok I need 2 dolls. You guys are gonna cost me a fortune!

I'm 5 foot 9 so the 145 is about a foot shorter than me. If you want to stand and get her from behind, a high bed and a pillow under her knees does the trick.Sakana wrote:Thanks guys for the responses!

I guess your talking about the chick in the pot leaf one piece.
That was Lana, my DS ex lite. I don't have her anymore. She is the DS foam doll.
Basically a 163 in foam instead of silicone.
I am currently saving for a 163 plus in silicone.
I can't wait to have more than 1 doll again....

I saw those ex-lites and they looked impressive, but that's as far as it went. I didn't think they'd feel all that great. Always did believe like Scotty from Star Trek; the proper tool for the job! LOL! If it takes more than one...? Well, I guess I'll be eating ramen for quite a while! I'm afraid most of the taller versions (160+) are way too "leggy" for me and the proportion of leg to torso seems off on most I've looked at...

Re: DS "Serena" - first time buyer
1.Which vendor? as different vendors can request different customer specialty options if they have the option for it. As for the current DS dolls, to my knowledge do not really have any moderate-heavy makeup as according to DS the girls have a more realistic feel with their "supposed make-up kit" already. As for the makeup option via vendor you can ask them for multiple photos and angles to show how they look, as vendors will comply to you're questions/requests majority of the time .
2. I can't answer there as mine has the slight pink option so.. no idea but do ask vendor for comparisons.
3. From my experience of insert vs non-inserts of TPE to a now converted Silicone fan. I will say "silicone" inserts are much better just so you know. As for the visual.. yeah a little different than what you'd expect. As I own a DS 145 I can't compare it to the DS 150+'s but I can say that the insert for the ds145 is a bit tricky to get in sometimes if it's not dry and smoothed with whatever powder you will apply on her to make her baby soft. Also the entry canal I hate that mesh they glue on as "why only have a part of it with the mesh??", because I've had a tear by accident because I used a bit too much force one time to get the insert inside.. easy fix with car seal silicone but yea... you get the idea. I think the 150+ are easier to get in maybe as the openings seem a little bigger? I bought the insert for the 150+'s as a experiment because I was curious and I can say the size difference and flexibility is noticeable for bigger insert. BTW NEVER GET INSERT G, it is so troll. Also I don't feel the inserts are hard to penetrate, they feel relatively easy to do so and stay in of course if you're not above average etc.. etc..also the size of the canals of the inserts are about the size of your middle finger and they stretch quite well to fit whatever size your member is.
4. I personally prefer the tight joints now as my girl's easier to move around and for all the fun positions. In my opinion though tight joints = easier cleaning, moving, positioning, and I feel it's more durable as the silicone isn't being constantly on the move/shifting/stretching unnecessarily. The loose joint does indeed seem more natural but it'll take alot of effort on your part to keep her from moving out of position while you're in the middle of action but I do find the loose joint more on the positive if you plan to cuddle alot in bed as it'll feel more "natural" as the others say.
just my 2cents
