This demonstrates the ease of quite difficult posing that the skeleton enables.

Good morning all.
Here is Vala, model 163cm SB (small boobs) from Xycolo.
She arrived in France in mid July and it is therefore with a 3 months hindsight now that I present her to you.

A bit of context to understand my point of view, each having their own:
My curiosity for dolls started 2 years ago, first with a TPE, amazed by the presence of the doll but repelled by the TPE, the smell and the oozing that stains the sheets, not possible for me. So 1st silicone with Sanhui, much better but my model 156 seems too small, I don't like it .... Gynoid arrived and I understood immediately that this is what I was looking for, model 6, what happiness…. but model before the latest advances in the skeleton and silicone so it has not aged well ... and therefore Xycolo caught my eye.
It's a rather expensive hobby, you have to make up your mind I think ... especially for me, realism being what is sought for the pleasure of the eyes and therefore pleasure in bed.

1-THE ORDER
I went through Monica by email and the service is 10/10, the information is given in full transparency, in a very professional and concise way, this makes the act of purchase completely reassuring and interesting. Nothing prevents going through a local reseller since Xycolo organizes partnerships.

2-DELIVERY:
Xycolo promises a good packaging, it is the case: cardboard with wood reinforcement, reinforcement of the angles, the doll is in a sleeping bag, when unpacking the pro side and well thought out is obvious. (see Spike's review https://love-dolls-forum.com/jm-doll/xc ... 14740.html I would not say better)

3- THE SKELETON
Best skeleton to date, so easy to make it take any pose, I feel a real robustness of the structure and the handling is very intuitive.
To be transparent, see here https://love-dolls-forum.com/jm-doll/le ... 14811.html because the tightening of the joints may vary and therefore change the feeling. .. it's still not precision mechanics so I guess you can expect variations from doll to doll.
What is particularly pleasant is to dress the doll, it is natural, she lifts her arms to put on her dresses and tshirt, lowers her head to pass the collar, stands up to put on the skirts ... etc ... etc … I really like these moments. And it is also the perfectly correct proportions of the doll that allow it to be dressed in size XS or S: broad shoulders (36cm) the correct size (58cm) and the pelvis (87cm).

4-SILICONE
This is the big subject, I have the Organic Silicone version because above all I favor weight reduction, I am normally "strong" but the pleasure is still wasted I find over 35kg (the TPE has 42kg I say no, never again and Gynoid has 32 kg it was ok). So a proposal of 163 cm around 30kg, that was the factor of choice.
Xycolo indicates that its Platinum Silicon version, heavier, is "softer" than the Organic version… So I had a little reason, ok the doll will be a little hard we'll see… .. real surprise, incredibly soft, the touch is close to the TPE without the drawbacks.
After 3 months zero oozing and still so soft. The secret of Xycolo is also to subtly place very soft areas: behind the thighs, the shoulders, the palms of the hands, the heels of the feet, at the level of the lower abdomen… I think this is necessarily thought of in the design and therefore really well seen. Particularly the legs, amateur of tights and lingerie, the result is particularly attractive.
A detail well seen: the vagina and the anus communicate which makes it possible to wash very easily with the hose of the shower, the water enters on one side and leaves on the other: good cleaning, had to think about it.
Concerning the sex part: the ultra soft and textured silicone vagina will give satisfaction for the desired goal! Comparable to Sanhui and Gynoid on this point.

5- AVENUES FOR IMPROVEMENT
Ok super enthusiastic but not blinded either: could do better on.
- The neck / head junction, the covering of the head on the neck is not sufficient and it is not harmonious depending on the pose.
- The eyes are rather well done but on my model it seems over time a little too deep and therefore a little too sleepy, I pricked Sanhui's eyes to put them on Vala and suddenly more pressure forward which makes the look more lively (you will see black eyes then green eyes)


In conclusion: no doll is perfect, for me the proportions are so good that it erases the flaws and ensures the pleasure of being around her, c is already a lot.
I deleted my review on TDF because I ran into too many moaners (the plague of "angry people" on social networks) and reiterate here because I think Xycolo (and Monica) deserves this return on their product.

What else to say ... the enthusiasm of the first days has not subsided, it has eclipsed the others ... and suddenly I went back to photography. All the photos are taken with my iphone 11, in general I pose, I wait for the light to be good and I take pictures. Then no Photoshop effects, but framing and for those who know: photoshop raw camera filter for finer light adjustment…. It reminds me of the days of film photography with my Kaiser enlarger… but a 100 times more powerful… without red light and without chemical tanks.

Wow, the lighter organic silicone is close to tpe now? Did xyc change their formula?

The head is not a defect. Nearly all doll heads are like that - it's where they are cut off out of a mold.
