I just made an order for a new doll. With the Spring Sale being extended to the May 10th that includes an extra head, wig, set of eyes and the cleaning kit + Storage kit for free, it's really HARD to avoid it.
As some might have noticed in another post, I ordered Dora Elf from MSLD.

I already have a name for her : Luna.
It's a common name for elf in fiction stories, but I find it simple and cute so why not?
A bit of an history review of mine. I bought a Miranda doll (which I call "Date") back in July of last year. It had its price at $990 which is really great for a starter. First doll and god I was nervous.
Received it quite fast even though I had some bit of issues with UPS (delivery service).
To be honest, it was in the top 5 of the "best" purchases I have made in the last 10 years.
(#1 is taking classes in 3D modeling and animation for movies & video games. #2 is the upgraded GPU for my PC. It could easily fit in #3 or #4 along the side of my XBox One.)
Took really good care of her for a few months, but I'll admit that some stuff happened and while I still take care of her as much as I can, I wasn't able to take care of her as well after a while. The main issue I had was related to the cleaning. Not that I hated doing it, but more that I had to do it far too often. I'm living in an apartment below ground level and there's a bit of a dust problem since my windows are all at shoulder-height. She suffered from it. I had to keep her wrapped in the soft sheet she came in all the time as she's a true dust magnet.
I did quite a few mistakes with her.
• I got one of her finger pierced by the skeleton inside of it. (Her finger was jammed when I moved her and the finger's wire wasn't straight.)
• Even after many cleaning cycles and water & soap dipping to remove any excess of colors, some underwears still left some print on her.
• When transporting her around the apartment (feet first), her feet hit some door frame and it did damage the under-sole's surface.
• Upon playing with her in certain positions, the TPE around the legs came loose from the skeleton. (It's not "wrong", but it does make her legs a bit flappy.)
• Damaged her knees. The skeleton's knees pierced through the TPE when her leg touched a solid surface. Due to the flappy TPE of her leg, there was no "resistance" against the real precise stretching new the knee.
• A few minor scraps here and there.
• I pierced a 2nd hole in her vagina. This might have started from how I cleaned her after each uses which might have created a small weakness and then, when use after use, it extended. I noticed the 2nd inner hole when I did a really through cleaning. I knew I can be hard, but damn it was a shock. (To put it in perspective, it's a bit like if you were to pierce vaginal canal upward toward the bladder.)
I had to adapt my play with her. I also gave her medical knee pads I had ever since I hurt both of my knees at a previous job.
Those knee pad are used to add resistance and support to the knee in standing position. Not only this makes it much more secure to avoid bending her knee too much (to avoid extending the damaged part), but it also protect the TPE around the knee and reduce the flabby parts quite a lot. I did tried to purchase a welding kit with an heat blower back then, but the seller (amazon) never sent it and I was refunded.
Afterward, I found a new job, worked my ass off with the goal of paying for a laser operation for my eyes. I decided to put the whole repair project on the side. 2 weeks ago, I have saved quite a bit of money and took the eyes exams. I got told that my one of my eyes can't be fixed by any of the current technologies. Well, it's back to the glasses for me. I still got my money though and even 2 pairs of glasses doesn't even cost 1/3 of those savings. There's not telling when the technology will be able to fix my eyes either so waiting for it would be mostly stupid as I can just save again later.
There, I though... Why not getting a new doll. This time, I'm not a total newb and I already have plenty of stuff for it that I used with Date. I took a look around and noticed that quite a few things are new to the Love Doll market. Heating & Moaning options... E.V.O. skeletons... new head connections... Some are still in their "early beta" commercial phase, but some other seems quite well implemented. Still, this triggered my curiosity even further.
I checked each and every distributor/sellers on this forum (those still around that is).
I checked all the prices and all the models.
I checked all the options for whichever models interested me.
I have time and I'm in no rush after all.
In the end, I returned to MSLD with the Spring Sale event. Luckily for me, it got extended to May 10th instead of April 21th. A free head + wig + set of eyes + cleaning kit + storage on top of that! I mean... COME ONE! How could I miss this chance. I checked the dates and there's a relatively good chance that the delivery might happens on my paid vacation week. We're on April 26th. I'm on vacation between the 11th and 18th of May. That's means if it's delivered in-between 17 and 22 days after the order, I'm able to receive it when it arrive. From my own experience and what seems like many's, that's a relatively "good" approximation of the delivery time with MSLD. (No promises, but still more alike to happen than not.)
So I decided to take the leap of faith. I ordered Dora Elf with slight Tan color skin and since I already have green eyes with Date/Miranda, I ordered the blue and brown (as free extra) eyes. She only has 2 skin color option : Natural and Slightly Tan. I would have preferred a darker skin color (Dark Elf!), but can't be too picky at that price!
Even if I'm not 100% secure with it, I ordered her with Hollow breasts. At worse, if something happens, I'll do some doll science with her and fix her up good. One reason why I decided for the hollow breasts is she's a C-Cup. Nothing's wrong with that, but I'm more on the small breast side. Still, Date is already a B-Cup so C-Cup is kinda like a "new" thing for a new doll for me. Hollow breasts will, mostly, allow me to appreciate it the size without it feeling too big.
She's slightly smaller than Date. Date is at 4'10/148cm and this new addition is at 4'8/146cm. There's actually a sort of a reason me for to select her with that height. With the storage kit, I'll be able to store her in a closet. As I previously mentioned, Date has this problem of being a Dust magnet. I can only store her on a table in my bedroom, wrapped in cloths. That 2" difference with the included storage kit will allow me to hang her in the closet in my bedroom. Far less prone to dust and, ironically, all the maintenance stuff is already in that closet.
I added the E.V.O. skeleton in the option for approx. 106$ CAD. Date has a regular skeleton and I did notice some "limitation" or "risks" involved in some positions. The E.V.O. skeleton (from what I have seen on the forum) seem to make it much more efficient at posing and less risky for the TPE when it come to stretching. I do wonder if there's a difference in the hand's skeleton between the E.V.O. and the regular skeleton. (I can still dream of a non-wire based skeleton hand, right?) Luna will not only be a new doll, but also a new doll with a different kind of body than Date.
These options are one of the thing that also pushed me at purchasing Luna. Sure, there's the fantasy of the Elf, the super deal with the bonus and extras, but there's also the fact that it's produced by a different factory with different options available. Luna is made by Doll4Ever doll while Date (Miranda model) is made by Shenzhen Siluomei Technology Co. So, 2 different manufacturers so 2 different experiences. Another thing that makes Luna unique from Date, but which will make me still appreciate Date for what she is.
Funny thing is that, Luna will be home... I'll be able to live something that not many can live : Sleeping with 2 women by my side and no bitching about it.
Ok, it's a bit of a joke, but well... a bit of truth too!Now, the big question is... should I buy fantasy clothes for Luna or not... Those can be quite expensive and, often, not in the best materials too or should I keep her with an urban modern fantasy style?
