I always wonder how well the implanted hair holds up over time? I see silicone heads with this option. Wonder how combing their hair over time fares.

Good question. It should hold up very well if cared for properly.

FOR GENERAL CARE:

You should always use a very soft bristled brush as the hard brushes could cause the hairs to break and detach .

A soft bristle brush will also take away the dust particles and dirt (to minimise need for washing) as well as detangling.

If there's excessive tangling, like with wigs, use a fine tooth comb and hold the hair away from the scalp (so your hand protects it from pulling from the scalp) and then start from the bottom, work upward.

I would also recommend putting the hair in soft plaits for bedtime to avoid knots or any accidental stress/pulling on hair.

Tell me , silicone causes a bad reaction when it makes contact with TPE so how is this overcome..

After seeing a bunch of dolls at mishkas that had silicon heads on tpe bodies I am thinking this is mostly a thing of the past.

Great to see this head finally released. I was on WM's official mailing list for this head, but didn't get anything. Glad someone is up to date.

They also told me that natural was the only color. Is this going to change? I really wish for medium. All my good dolls are medium.

It is more pricey than I expected. I was thinking $1200 USD. How many hours does the hair implant take?

Agreed. I wish the head had been medium aka light tan, but I did realize something. Under normal circumstances, the skin on most people's faces is not the same shade as the skin on the rest of their body. Only when people purposefully tan themselves will the skin on their face have the same shade as the skin on the rest of their body. Most people tend to have a lighter or darker shade of skin on their face compared to their arms and legs. The Jinsan natural aka pink shade isn't too far from Jinsan light tan aka medium. I could see a real person having light tan skin with a natural color face.

That's the price for a UK-based company that needs to pay VAT. I'm sure HK or USA vendors might have a different price.

I think I would stick to that head and body combo if I were to get one.
That is definitely on my want list, haha.

This head is having such a lifelike appearance that I would combine her with a body that is as close to real world measurements as it gets. Being quite tall myself I would think the tallest body that will fit in that type is the 163C.

I do not understand the pricing either. I would probably make the head pretty expensive too as WM. Personally I would not dare to destroy that head with trying if it is compatible with other TPE blends, but not everyone will think that way.
The price tag of a complete doll still is definitely deterrent for me to pursue this adorable Fannie.

It seems to be a bit of a drip feed of info ATM. I have requested every micro detail they have for you!

Waiting on full reply re this but have been told initially that it is only available "as photo" at the moment.

We've spoken already but anyone else is welcome to contact us for a special intro / TDF member's price.
I would love to know how long the hair implants take too!

I've already got the 168E in natural, and from the posted pictures, I think the head looks great on it -- but for now, its just a bit too expensive.

Although I'd like to see some hyper realism on the body to match that face, most of Hitdoll's bodies don't quite fit my fancy. I'd like to see an a-cup, between 158-168cm range, with a healthy enough looking torso, arms, waist, hips, etc., to not look anorexic, or overly thin. Something that is more akin to a naturally shaped, lazy girl, body, without giant hips or a tiny waist, but still slim an girlish. Something like 4woods 160cm a-cup, maybe. On most of the a-cups from WM, or elsewhere, I'm afraid her head would look too big for the body, giving her either a cartoonish, or child-like appearance.
