Re: Deluxe vs Original Teddbabe - Buyer's Guide
Cindy is much less densely stuffed (pardon the term) than Jess and far more flexible. That combined with the smaller frame and lighter weight does mean she is a very compliant lover, and easier to pose.
Jess, being much firmer and more solid, combined with her larger size, is much more realistic to cuddle and she has always felt very comforting and securing in bed at night.
Is one better than the other? Overall NO! Each has their charm, Each has their plus points and Each will be loved just as much as the other.

Re: Deluxe vs Original Teddbabe - Buyer's Guide
I recently ordered a Fabric Anime Doll from BeautifulDolls. After I have owned this doll for some time, I plan to do a Teddybabe versus Fabric Anime Doll comparison. The Fabric Anime Doll is the closest "in-this-class of doll" competitor to the Teddybabe.
I will always love Teddybabe but as a long-time (20 year) DollAfficionado, I am always expanding my knowledge of the world of dolls.

Great info, nice work DollAfficionado.DollAfficionado wrote:A note to potential buyers:
Remember that this versus-based review is really splitting hairs. You are sure to enjoy your Teddybabe regardless which type you purchase. To reiterate: if your Teddybabe will primarily serve as a travel doll, I strongly recommend the Teddybabe Original; travelling with the TO is just so much easier than the Teddybabe Deluxe - {experience to back it up}.

This totally saves me asking a heap of questions I had about my next acquisition, as I plan on camping out in my 4x4, I have a queen mattress insulation and netting set up in the canopy boudoir style, an element I have dreamed of adding to my bush outings.
I run into the occasional fellow 4WDer, and my girl would fast become the center of unwanted attention, so a quickly managed hiding spot is going to be much easier with an original size TB.

Re: Deluxe vs Original Teddy Babe - Buyer's Guide
Please note that with Eighth Wonder's new dolls and some new doll features that this comparison may now be outdated in some parts.
I greatly enjoyed my 8 years with various Teddybabes, but I have since moved onto the TPE doll experience.
I have not owned a Teddybabe for about a year now, so I hope someone here will step up and take over this thread to keep an updated Buyer's Guide for those comtemplating a Teddybabe.
Teddybabes are nice dolls at an affordable price, but I decided that it was time for me to move onto the next frontier.

Re: Deluxe vs Original Teddy Babe - Buyer's Guide
Since my bed buddies arrival in January I have been very happy with her and find that Lucy comes out of hiding at home as much as she shares my bed on away trips.
Thanks for the advice all of you in making my choice the right one for me.

Re: Deluxe vs Original Teddy Babe - Buyer's Guide
Current Teddybabe Deluxes appear to be between 5'5 and 5'8 where as Standards are 3'11 to 4'2 in height.
My Deluxe Vs Standard (Both 2012 models I believe)
Height 60" 48"
Head To Groin 28 " 23"
Neck to Groin 19" 15"
Shoulder Width 15" 12"
Hope that helps some

Re: Deluxe vs Original Teddy Babe - Buyer's Guide
This is true, the material used for STANDARD and the DELUXE is not currently (spring 2016) the same.As announced on the official site, the manufacturer wrote:Deluxe models are larger and more realistically proportioned than those of our (smaller) Standard models, and are now made with NEW AND IMPROVED, 40% silkier velvety-plush material.
The macro photos below, compare the skin material for both models manufactured in 2016. A reverse brushed section is also displayed, to highlight the differences.
Side by side, the TB velvet seems much more coarse and rough than TBD. But, don't believe that TB are rough ! they are soft... and TBD are very soft

Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.

Re: Deluxe vs Original Teddy Babe - Buyer's Guide
Teddy Babes are still manufactured with the original material, while Deluxes are manufactured with a new velvet skin.
At this time (fall 2016), it can also say that this was not a transition state (like, the new velvet first introduce on Deluxe and then, later on Standard). There is currently two lines of products, with different material (of course, this can change in the future, but nobody known).
The "40% softer velvet" may look like a commercial argument, but believe me, this is really true. I don't know, how they measure the 40% , but I can say that there is a VERY BIG difference between the two materials. If your budget and space are not a concern, I recommend a Deluxe.
