Kimber quality compared with WM?

Post by **bigchilli** » Fri May 08, 2020 5:03 am

Hi folks
Can anyone give a comparison on quality with WM
Obviously im not expecting her to be the same quality but was hoping she would be close
I currently own an wm166 but was considering getting a kimber
Can anyone chime in?
Thanks

The current Kimber has the standing option included, soft and pleasantly scented elastomer body with a nice price.
Posters have published photographs of this doll on this forum, quite an attractive sculpt.
The only downside is one that many dolls have, an occasional wire poke from the fingers.
Have tested the elastomer, been wrapped in a white blanket for several months without any indication of oil seepage.

I don't own a Kimber, but from what I've read here, quality seems fairly decent for the price. Biggest drawback when comparing the two, with Kimber you're limited to that one body type, face and skin tone. If it weren't for that, I might just consider one.

Kimber is awesome for a first doll. If you have high end doll maybe she isn't the right doll for you. I have a Kimber and am happy that I do.

You are right with that, but with the standard m16 thread, any head will go on her. My 3 Kinberdolls all have different heads.

Yeah this is my fear
I've had a wm162e and 166c
I just wanted something cheap and light for fun times to try and prolong the life of my wm166 but don't want to be disappointed and never use her

Im not fussed about the limited options,was more the skeleton and tpe quality
I watched a video where you could see the wires in her hand through the skin
That kinda made me have doubts

In the dark, can't see no wires
In the light, poor eyesight still can't see no wires

The hands are probably the worst though, having said that it does reflect the price and honesty, when the head costs £350 and whole body and head cost £399 its kinda crazy they pull off a really good first doll, I think kimberdoll should be the goto for firsttimers

I had the issue with the wires coming out of the fingers a couple of times when I first got my Kimber but after jiggling them back in place the issue hasn’t reoccurred in the almost six months that I’ve had her.
The hands definitely are the weakest part of her body but overall the quality of the doll is still extremely good and I’ve been very happy with her.

Yeah, but if you have to buy a new head, that kinda defeats the purpose of getting a cheap doll and you're still stuck with the one body type and skin tone. I'd rather just go with WM in the first place and pay a little more for what I want.

Now even without different faces to choose from, although that'd be nice too, if Kimber were to offer some breast size options, a darker skin tone and maybe a body with a fuller waist, that'd be a game changer for me!

Hi all,

Worth noting that fingers would be the most fragile part of any doll, regardless of the brand.

Any thicker in design and they'd look like sausage fingers!

Cheers,

OOO! Sausage fingers, yum

There is starting to be a number of posts of non-wired finger mods but the Kimber has slender fingers and the techy stuff is not there for that scale of articulation, yet.
The Inventors are still working on it

If you could actually get delivery with f Kimber it would be a great doll I am sure. 6 weeks dolls in port no tracking info yet. When I question they act like either cancel or wait. Your choice. Not feeling warm and fuzzy at this point about their customer care.

Hi Jrr359,

You were offered the option to cancel your preorder when you expressed your disappointment with the current wait time. In doing so, you would be making someone else in the preorder queue very happy.

Unfortunately, we cannot make the ports operate any faster than they already are.

Offering you the option to cancel your preorder without any hassle is the definition of customer care.

Cheers,
Fletcher

That is more than reasonable customer service and after sales support right there.

I also note that Kimber has represented that delays may be experienced when items are not in stock on their website, and with the current shipping delays for many other items in the world due to CCP virus at the moment, this is clearly beyond the sellers control, and yet they have offered pre order cancellation despite the delay not being in their control.

So realistically, Kimberdoll has been more than fair and reasonable IMHO.
