I recently acquired a DS Ex-Lite at the hershey doll meet. I traded Samara78 my Sanhui145 doll body with the broken wrist for her ex-lite that she had and repaired. It was a good trade and I had a great time at the meet. I recommend all you doll lovers go to one. I have social anxiety and don't get out much, but i decided to go at the last minute and just went. Didn't feel uncomfortable at all and got to meet a few of the folks I been talking to here.
Even after reading a lot of shit reviews, I still liked her. Her size/weight really did it for me. Her skin doesn't bother me and the gaps can be dealt with. It is a good concept that needs a better execution. My thoughts so far...
Pros-
Lightweight
Easy to store and move
Skeleton is decent
Sexy
Easy to stand
Cons-
Gaps
Limited skeletal mobility
Can't spread legs too far
Tongue needs to be longer
I haven't banged her yet, ordering an insert tomorrow.
She is very photogenic and i like her sculpt and her face. I may get a DS163 Silicone lady sometime in the future if they actually weigh 65 pounds.
Also, a couple suggestions for a better ex-lite
Maybe an aluminum skeleton instead of plastic
use a push and click system, like you have for your heads, and incorporate that into the limbs and head instead of those clips to reduce gaps, make assembly/disassembly easier and smoother.
She is like a soft mannequin/doll.
I name her Lana, which means soft, gentle, peaceful, so i read.
And to my delight, all Eves clothes fit her. NICE
