My Rhonda helps keep me sane many ways. Also I have bought more clothes for her than myself in the past year, and she's only been in my company for 2 weeks. I might have a problem,...
As to quality of product, it's pretty solid, but I share some of the complaints as my peerage here on the forums. In the near future I plan on deciding if I'm pulling the wire skeleton entirely or improving it. And I'm looking into eye and lip replacements that more suit what I think a plush love doll should be.
Nice! What kind is she?
Personally I went a little overboard... or maybe a lot... with the clothes initially, but it didn't last long. I suppose I should get her a present of some sort, but she hasn't gotten any new clothes for quite awhile. She's still never worn a bunch of things though, so there's still new things to try out. When you start with nothing, sometimes an initial splurge is necessary.
Although I certainly understand the downsides, personally there's things I like about the oft maligned wire skeleton. Because she doesn't have joints she can really wrap her arms around me. Maybe from a distance it looks goofy that, instead of bending at an elbow like a person, her arms are just curved, but it's great for cuddling (also a gradual curving bend ought to create less weakness than a sharper, but more realistic looking "joint" type bend). Perhaps I'll be singing a different tune when something eventually breaks, but a year and a half in and no problems thus far. If every few years something needs to be repaired that's not too bad.
