Domino Out of the Box Review

Post by Oops »

only time for a short review...so I decided I will write a bit each night to this thread. It should be noted that my doll is the 3rd out of the new mold and unique to the others before it which were considered incomplete. the review is going to be fair and accurate..i have gone over portions of what im going to talk about with Patrick, most everything will be positive, but with any new work there will be some negatives.

Delivery by Fedex Ground

Toonist has found an easier and cheaper method of shipping of the doll using a specially sized cardboard box, well insulated with lots of foam and bubbles, and covered with saran wrap- than his original wooden crate method. everything arrived undamaged; wiig, Silicon repair kit, doll, head, and instructional letter. Doll was wrapped in her "powder sheet, and dressed in complimentary panties and shirt.

The only negative I can think of was Fed Ex...they did not treat the box kindly. the box arrived with a huge pressure crease in the middle. The guy who dropped off the box actually asked me if a dead body was in the box! he asked me not once but twice...so folks be prepared for that question. While the box showed no signs of tamperment...comments like that don't bode well. despite the wear and tear on the box by the Fed Ex thugs...the doll arrived with no damage.

Fast Facts:

Ship Weight: 112lbs
Method: Fed Ex Groundl
Delivery Time: 7 days (2 day holiday and weekend) from Chantilly, Va to San Diego, CA
Cost to ship: $600 (received a discount from Toonist which put the cost to 400)

I spoke with our shipping guy here in the office and gave him the dimensions of the box and it was estimated that Fed Ex would consider the actual weight 224...regardless of it was 1 lb or 200 lbs based on the dimensions. So if insurance was included, 400.00 to ship was not unreasonable by our freight calculations.

Accidents:
i actually cut my hand with a pair of scissors...my own fault; opening the package...i literally bled all over the doll and "powder sheet" she was wrapped in.

The Doll Body

A is for ass:
Doll has an ass that just doesnt quit. Pictures dont do it justice. Ass is a perfect 10. for those of you who are wanting a bigger ass...your out of your mind. 36 inches is enough for any guy. look up the stats of most porn stars and actresses and you will be pleasantly surprised. Any larger and this doll would weigh 20 more lbs than it should. Toonist says he made the doll soft, but not as soft as the breasts...im ok with that.. seeming as how an enormous dead weight is carried on the ass. i want to protect her and i keep her lying on her back with her ass inclined in the air. im not taking any chances with that money maker. While her ass is the best thing going for the body, it is also her downfall. It gets in the way and complicates moving her...i will get into that later...as some of this is circumstantial. Her anal passage is large enough to take advantage of, if your into that. I think there maybe an insert of sorts deep inside, but to be honest i have probed her to much there to really figure it out. More on sex and the doll in general later...her ass plays a prominent roll in that area whether you like it or not.

B is for Breasts

Toonist again has done a fantastic job with the Breasts. The breasts are nice and
squishy and the nipples are large and perky. Patrick paid considerable attention to detail here and did a lovely paint job. Personally im not into perky without the foreplay, but Patrick pulls it off well. An earlier review mentioned that they might feel real if compared to a real woman with implants.. i would have to say this isnt the case. While realistically shaped, colored and sized...the volume is just different in a real breast. this is not to say i want softer more realistic breasts...remember these breasts have to be able to withstand her own weight when you lay her down on her stomach to take pictures or advantage of her from behind. i would NOT want them any softer, otherwise you may find them misshapen one day. Tit Fuck possible? no i dont think so. never tried. too much of a gap between the twins, wouldnt be able to get good friction. For those curious i would place the cup size of the new mold as remaining a C. Ive had two girlfriends with D's and the pib isnt quiet at that handful. But again, its careful what you wish for...too big and youve got another set of problems to deal with.

C is for Chest

Patrick made my doll with a softer chest...i didnt ask him to do it, but that was his design and i gave him the license to create how he saw it..im not sure of the premise of why the upper rip cage is so soft.. the doll in general is soft. The chest is SOFTER. so soft that i created a dent picking her up by grabbing her around the chest to carry her bridal style. i looked again today and i created another smaller one as well on the other side. while not overtly offensive..they are none-the-less annoying. When i say soft i mean Snuggles the Bear soft. now that i know the potential to damage the chest area im extra careful, as a result moving her around has become more burdensome and is a puzzle everytime i want to reposition her as i try to compensate for the fact i cant get a good grip around her most most voluminous area of the upper torso. I told Patrick it was too soft in my feedback, he agreed and stated that in the future the dolls would not have a chest as soft as the one he gave mine. this is a smart move in my opinion..because i can only see this being a constant hassle to avoid what might be inevitable...the next dent.


Head:
I chose a Bella head and an Isis head. The Isis head should be arriving some time next week. Meanwhile, lets talk about the Bella head. My Bella head arrived in a seperate wrapping. Others have mentioned the head and neck system...the neck is long, im guessing close to 17 inches. It is firmly flexible and seems as soft as the rest of the body. Im not about to test out how flexible it is..that is for someone else. When the doll arrived two "landing" strips of velcro were fixated to the neck and two strips of velcro to the inside of the head. The first time fixing the head on the neck and removing it, the landing strips removed themselves from the base. not a huge deal since i dont attempt to keep the head on during moving, and keeping the head on during more physically engaging moments to me invites damage to the soft head..and more hair all over the body. Im guessing it has to do with the glue that is used to stick them on. As with Srdr's Joy, I had a couple issues with the head and neck. Perhaps a neck cap should be made. Not sure it it would avoid the peeling. im worried about the lips splitting, but im told the area is pretty resilent. the overall oral sex reviews from everyone have been off the chart. see my photos regarding the Oral Angle to show off the entry room:

Horizontal: http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/di ... 2928&pos=1
Vertical: http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/di ... 2928&pos=2

To wrap up this discussion on the head. I look forward to seeing the Isis head to make a more complete analysis of the quality of the head. They are beautiful!

Hands and Feet:

Hands are floppy, and the feet seem to have some support. Both are well detailed, but as shown in the Joy pictures, seem to have been untrimmed out of the mold. The toes on Domino's feet and connected together, Patrick tells me this is intentional...im guessing it prevents the digits from getting stretched into awkward positions when being fitted for shoes, nylons, socks, etc. The feet very realistic when when clothed. The hands are floppy as mentioned before, and appear glossy and untrimmed around the finger nails. She is need of a pedicure. One of the issues on the feet is the several of the doll's nails fell off the doll almost immediately after taking it out of the box., as mentioned before Patrick has discovered what the problem was and there shouldn't be be a replay of this again. Curiously, Domino hasnt lost a nail at all on the fingers. The nails, warns Patrick, are dangerous when in close contact to silicon. Im actually considering gloves for her when she isnt being photographed or on display. I dont want any self inflicted damage.

See attached picture of the foot showing the missing nails on one foot:

See issue with hands, probably trimmable:

i made a small dent in her picking her up apparently...my grip was too strong it left an indent underneath her breasts.. or rolling her over. got to be careful.

Hopefully the silicone will return to its original shape in a day or so.

Not sure it it would avoid the peeling. The head itself has a problem where i feel here ear is going to come off eventually...see picture. http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/di ... 2928&pos=0 Trust me it wasnt from wear or usage on my end. similarly im worried about the lips splitting, but im told the area is pretty resilent. the oral sex reviews from everyone have been off the charts. see my photos regarding the Oral Angle to show off the entry room:

All I can speak to this is related to my trip to his shop, and when we took a brand new body straight out of the mold and layed it out on the work table.
Just to see what my doll would someday look like complete with a body, I put my Bella head on it. There wasn't any velcro attached anywhere. I didn't even know he was using that when he ships them either.
It didn't seem to me that velcro would even be necessary. Bella's head fit snugly, I was able to turn it side to side with some effort, but it wouldn't just pop up and off. I had to really pull hard to get it to come off.
I can see how, if one had the doll in a doggy style position and really pulled back hard on the body, and the head was stuck good to the pillow, it might come loose tho. Same with wigs, which is why I use velcro strips to hold those in place. But the whole head/body combo, that's something for trying at a later date after arrival... :D
The neck as I found out it is very bendable. It can be bent forward, backward or sideways. I did all of those things myself too.

I'm sorry to hear about the peeling issues. I'm sure toonist will do his best to make it right. A little silpoxy will likely fix that...just my own opinion. But the peeling pic of the neck stump does look a little serious.
From all of the other forums I read here, it seems like all dolls have these kinds of issues, and their owners use kits to repair skin tears.

there will be more on the skin, good, bad, and unsure later. im new to this and i dont want to jump to conclusions about what Im not knowledgable about.

I'm sure that Pat will be glad to hear that, as well as some of us too. Considering all of the recent controversy here, some valid some not at all.

One thing we do know for sure tho, or at least I believe it....Pat WILL work with you on it. He's already proven that time and again.

Well all due respect but who are YOU to tell me if 36" is enough for any guy?
Just because voluptuous fuller figured women ain't your thing, you can't go diss us ass men. 36" is average for me.

Luscious Lopez, Alexis Texas,Flower Tucci, Nina Hartley, Kim Kardashian, Coco, Druuna is what i'm looking for.
