Elsa babe 102 impressions/ experience

Ztar073 · Post by **Ztar073** » Tue Jun 22, 2021 10:30 pm

I decided to wait to post this until after the recent doll meet as I wanted to present the doll there first.
I was waiting for elsa to update the large breast 102cm to include the improvements made with the xl breast version but it never came about.
With this promotion back in February I bit the bullet and placed an order

About 3 and a half months went by and before her arrival. The first box had the heads and wigs.. They rapped the heads in foam pieces. One of them stayed in the foam and arrived perfect. The other was rolling around in the box.

also, it looks like the person that trimmed the seam screwed up the line

then he handed it off to the painter who proceeded to paint it even though it had obvious damage. This doll is for photography, not cool Elsa babe!

So the body arrived about a week later .

like my last doll the doll arrived with the neck bent and like the last doll, no permanent damage from it.

One thing that immediately struck me was how tight the doll was.

I had to really use my man strength to straighten the neck or move anything else. This is the tightest jointed doll I have ever experienced with the exception of the ankles which rotate a little easier then is ideal.
There is a small hole at the seam line of one of the breasts

there was no damage to the body otherwise.
There wasn't any paperwork in the box so I used my powers of observation to figure out how the head attaches.

you are supposed to put the little Allen bolt through the side of the resin cup at the bottom of the head and tighten it providing resistance on the ball joint in the neck. They did start the allen hole but they did not run the bolt all the way through and I ended up stripped one allen bolt per head just to get the bolts all the way through the resin. Luckily I was able to get them out. This isn't something that should be left for the customer to deal with. This should be completed at the factory no excuses.

The provided outfit wasn't very good,

so I decided to dress her on my own.

I will say, she is a beautiful little doll.

So about that head attachment; the allen bolt presses against the side of the ball. This does NOT prevent the head from popping off. And pop of it shall!

After the doll meet this dent came into existence on the side of the neck.

I don't know how and will have to keep an eye on it.

I know so far it all sounds like complaining, but she's actually a nice doll.

Yeah I didn't see anyone post pics of the head attachment before so I didn't know it was such an issue.

I actually didn't mind the production time. I know most people are not as understanding, but I never emailed you guys to inquire about my order because I would rather you didn't rush . I wanted you to have the time you needed to make your best doll.
I understand quite a few people have had their elsa babe skeleton go loose so it makes sense you would tighten it that much. I am fine with the rest of the doll being that tight but the neck should be a little looser. It exacerbates the problem with the head coming off. The way it is now, I have to take the head off to move the neck . If you had it this tight with the new connector their is the possibility that someone could damage the head by applying force to it trying to get the neck to move.
I do like this little doll quite abit . Alot was don't right here, but I've got to be honest with certain things.
As for the damaged head, you guys think it's condition is OK? Cause I don't.

Hello,
Actually it is first time that we receive a suggestion that we should loose the neck joint a little bit. However, we are agreed with it and thought it is a very good suggestion. Thank you very much.

We have checked with pictures of damaged head. There is a negligence happen during the process of trimming seam which caused a small pit, we are really sorry for it. However, we think the depression of the chin may caused during shipping and it is repairable. You could use a hair dryer to heat the depression and knead lightly at the same time (Please note that the heating temperature should not be too high which should be less than 60 °C), it will recover after a while.

Of course, if you still have any problem with it, please just feel free to PM us directly or contact our customer service: service@elsababe.com, we will try to find a best solution for you.

I have a hair dryer and temp gun so I will give the chin repair a shot.

A second hole in the neck appeared while the doll was just laying in bed.

not cool. I am thinking that these are air bubbles under the Silicone that are popping. The first one was not visible with the head on but this one is.
I suppose I will attempt a repair. Elsa babe what Silicone to fill this do you recommend?

Little Elsa babe at the doll meet;

Some of the best photographers here were in attendance . You can see more of this 102cm Elsa babe on the doll meet thread here viewtopic.php?f=87&t=142931
Far better pictures of her and others in that thread then I can make.
I will post a few here, some other dolls will appear in the background, hopefully it's not an issue.

Anyway, I was surprised with how taken the guys were with this little doll. They really seemed to like her. Dare I say she was the center of doll attention.

no body liked the head attachment btw. There was also complaints about the eyes.they don't move well at all.. Elsa babe should change to a spring loaded mechanism.

One of the guys suggested making a non functional version of this model. A photography only version, and I suspect it would be allowed in more countries than it is now.
