This doll right here provided the entire inspiration for me to choose the WM 166cm.
The whole dark sexy vibe of this doll really got me hooked.
Its TAN of course.
I'm just trying to picture how dark it would actually look once I receive her.
But if I request the Vendor to change it to a medium tone, it would really detract from the whole look I was going for in the first place.
Sigh...why is life so difficult????

I got my Zenobia from RLSD about a year ago and she's a WM doll with "Tan" skin tone.
Not light tan or dark tan, just tan.
And as you can see, she will look different depending on the ambient light.

Just me personal opinion I'd never go with dark tan , if you dont like it your always stuck with it
The medium tone is a perfect in between and powdering will alter the shade of skin tone in most cases the powder starts to darken the skin over time unless your constantly washing her which I wouldn't advise.

All my Irontech gals as well as my YL and WM girls have caucasian medium tone skin and I love it.

Irontech started calling this skin type tan for whatever reason adding their actual tan colors as light brown and brown
I think they really want to be different in every way lol
Love me the Irontech dolls for sure.

As for the WM 166 C cup...
Man do I wish she had A cup tits cause that would be so perfect on that doll body.
Her tits dont fit the body type at all.

I’m surprised that you that live in sunny Florida don’t want that golden latin/cuban skin, DL2. I would go crazy down there amongst all that lovely tanned skin, probably getting arrested for trying to lick someone’s arm or something

As for the different WM skin tones, do not worry. A WM tan is not _that_ dark, it’s like someone that has been in the sun and gotten a tan, and as many have said you can manipulate the colour a lot with light. A doll in medium is still tan in my book (I live in the arctic, where pale means really pale), and a lovely compromise that works with everything.
The reasons why I choose tan on mine is a) I love tan skin, b) I already have a multitude of heads, all in tan and c) I find tan to be the most versatile to photograph.

Not the "other dolls" plural - I'm pretty sure he is saying those are all pics of the exact same doll! That is why in the end I made up my mind which skin tone to pick based almost more on the descriptions I read, and less on looking at pictures.

WM tan can actually look from really light to kinda dark in my personal experience. But with some daylight for sure it's not to dark! I'm pretty damn white and to me, she's quite a bit darker, but then again not to the extend of being 'black'. Def. to me tan is the best; looks great on blondes and also offers some 'multiracial' stuff with all sorts of flavors.

My Vendor sent me WM factory photos for comparison

One is the TAN and one is the MEDIUM.
I think the TAN looks really nice! What about you guys???

I have the tan WM 166c, so I would have to agree.

What a beauty. The long blonde hair goes really well with the skin tone. Nice!

Yeah, those are all the same doll. I only have 1 doll for now.
and all of those pics except for the black curtain one are nothing but midday sunlight coming through the window.
and I take pics with my iphone, so it's on automatic. and no photoshop.
light bouncing off of a pink blanket is what I think caused the dark one on the right.

Hi Panther , the more I look at that wig the more I love it! Did you purchase that wig separately?

Its a trade off of sorts for those who like to take pictures of their dolls for posting vs those that want her to look a certain way when interacting with your doll in a intimate setting. For me i would go for which i do more of. People living on the poles are not always pale skinned Eskimo's for example like others who work outdoors for a living or to gather food will get dark on exposed skin surfaces at least. Like me in Denver half Irish if i dont burn which happened often working outside at elevation for 20 hrs a week at least my arms, face & neck got pretty dark. I am now paying for all that sun though as i have skin problems in those same areas.
