Ordered my girl almost 7 months ago..
This is my first doll and post on TDF. Sorry it was basically a whine. I do have some questions not quite covered in the multitude of threads i have been reading here for the last six months.
Q1: Is there a specific type of make up ingredient to avoid for RD's silicone? Like can i use any liquid eyeliner and not cause damage?
Q2: How long does it take for bright colored clothing to cause stains to the silicone skin? I really like bright colors and dont want to wash the clothing to oblivion (fade). Is it a few hours (photoshoot)? Can i sleep overnight with her in a black nighty and be ok?

RD website says 6-8 months now
They had a problem with silicone supply / labor / explosion in demand
Plus they moved operations from California to Nevada during pandemic

The labor market has defiantly softened. So it should be easier for Abyss to find help in both production and with tech layoffs find a few software devs to shore up the RD X app that is basically non functional as of now. I wish they could simply find a way to mash it into chat GPT 4 lol.Lynxz wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 6:04 am I'm aware of all the issues that got us to this point.

Through the top thread with a negative subject title and way too much long quoting of argumentations, I've learned of possible good news that before i made a post imploring Abyss to hire to assist in what i believe will be an ever increasing demand, they did just that! If you are in queue, please share your order date and any updates. This is our most accurate, continuous feedback stream possible.

I ordered mine July 23rd 2022. (I know I said the 28th somewhere else but I didn't look at the invoice before posting so disregard that one).Lynxz wrote: ↑Thu May 11, 2023 6:04 am I'm aware of all the issues that got us to this point.

Re: Ordered my girl almost 7 months ago..
I might try a RD at some point but for now it is unbelievable what people find so attractive to RD dolls that other manufacturers don't have or do. I would completely understand 2 years ago or even more because no one was doing dolls looking so great, but now most brands do some really nice dolls.Lynxz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 6:41 am Tonight im at eleven months. Shes still at order status. I refuse to break. If i had known, i know which starpery, wm, irontech or zelex model i would've ordered. My title should've been "Sharh, the first, and the last doll". I know your responses, i still need them. I am spiraling here.
The only reason i never ordered an RD is because of the insert, i prefer fixed. However from what i have seen their inserts seems to be best in the business. I have seen really old RD dolls(2015-2017) still looking great which i understand again why many choose the brand. But in my situation i go with the flow. As technology advances and better dolls come out i like to keep up with the trend.

Tend to agree with this but I respect their decisions. All I know is RD guys have an infinite more amount of patience than me (and probably most of us here considering the replies in the "BRUTAL WAIT" thread) and for that I commend them. I started going a little stir crazy after 40 days on my doll I couldn't imagine what they go through!goofy_dr_love wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 7:17 am I might try a RD at some point but for now it is unbelievable what people find so attractive to RD dolls that other manufacturers don't have or do.

I remember you ... and Sharh. Damn. This isn't right. At this point, if I didn't have factory photos and wasn't already hopelessly in love, I'd be looking for a new home for her soul. I'd decide I didn't want to put myself through this. But a RealDoll is a different creature, and if you are absolutely certain that only a RealDoll will do, then I understand your sticking it out. Waiting is a real bitch, but so are what-ifs and regret. You're absolutely certain, right?Lynxz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2023 6:41 am Tonight im at eleven months. Shes still at order status.
