She wasn’t a fantastic success. I loved her face, but she smelt very chemically (gave me headaches.) I cannot remember how long I kept her, maybe a year. And after that, if it wasn’t for c0vid I’d maybe not have returned to dolls.
In October 2021 I ordered Aniyah II. This was a RLSD161B + RLSD 61. She never arrived. Seems like there had been a dodgy doll in her airplane, and the whole shipment got seized. After a long wait I got a refund.
Then in March 2024, after I returned from a trip to Thailand, I decided to try ordering Aniyah again, this time in cocoa and on the WM158A (ordering that body is perhaps a bit risky with UK customs being the way they are.) And I waited.
And today she arrived - Aniyah III

Felt like the return of an old friend. I feel strangely incredibly happy to see her again.
I unboxed her in sub 30 minutes before a meeting, then after a couple of meetings (meetings are doubly boring when a new doll has just arrived) carried her upstairs and took some initial photos (before another meeting):
I think she’ll fit in very well here
