first thanks to AS Doll for that great opportunity and Jo for making all that work and the nice communication.
It was a very spontaneous buy for me. I had the AS161 on my watch list, cause of the more realistic waistline and figure.
Having this beauty standing in front of me I was quite impressed and enthusiastic. I am surprised which effect her presence had. The figure of the doll makes me see her less than a doll and does blur the line of doll and humanlike beauty to me. IDK how to better describe it.
Sadly something went wrong when I wanted to transfer the photos from the unpacking to my computer so I can just tell a bit about it.
AS Doll was very kind to send all the clothes the doll wore on the expo with her. And she has footplates under her feet as well. I very strongly assume that this is a special configuration for the Expo which can be pretty helpful.
The package was send via UPS, there was no customs hassle for me. (EU europe.) UPS was pretty reliable too. They phoned if I was at home and since I was not we scheduled the delivery for the next day, I even got a 2 hours time window which they sticked too.
The packaging is rather good, the neck did push through the cartonage despite there being a big foam part to protect the neck. I have to assume it fell on that side or it happened something else like that. The neck does not seem to have taken functional damage so the packaging did preserve the doll from harm. The feet were packed in extra foam pieces, the hands and arms got an extra foam layer for protection like you probably have seen if you had got a doll yourself. The doll was in a plastic bag plus there were a blanket under and over her. Her legs were fixated with a foam piece that went from one side to the other side of the carton to prevent that the doll can move in the package. So I think it was overall a decent job, after all the doll arrived me safely even though there must have been some transport mistreatment.
What else can I say than I am really happy with the doll and tend to like to explore her curves with my hands. In fact it is tough to not do it when I have nothing else to do.

Finally my first impressions about the feel. The TPE is squishy soft. The wig is silky smooth. The joints are consistent and good to move. They are rather easy to move but with no issue so far. Standing or holding poses is no issue at all.
She is not a lightweight for sure, but anyway I am surprised and happy how good she is to move and pose with her weight.
