6Ye 171D UPDATE:
So last I posted about a year ago, I made some comments that I now need to modify.
I've been with her now for a year and since I have eight, all of my girls get the proper amount of action. Super soft ones don't get as much, the hard ones don't get as much, the middle one gets most frequent use, but the overall doll comparisons, that's for another post.
6YE 171D is one of the most elegant and beautiful dolls in the game. If you like firm medium boobs, long lean chiseled belly, tight tush, long legs and creamy skin, she's absolutely stunning. (Images to follow in a new post).
The last review I posted, I said that she was suited for day-to-day use, as it turns out that is not true. Not even close.
On the firmness scale in my house she's one up from the softest (D4E). Soft, smooth, semi squishy not so much you feel like she would damage in your hands, but definitely soft.
We were together intimately about a dozen times. She feels real nice, tight and ribbed internally. Beautiful Puffy P and fun to play with, but her LHP is definitely swung to the rear on this body. (Without getting too into the reasons why, it has something to do with the mold and The Factory just extending that same mold to create a taller doll rather than construct a new midsection for the mold or start from scratch.)
Since her lady parts are swung to the rear, she's best mounted from behind.
To mount her from the front requires a great deal of riser to get her in position.
Obviously there are many ways to accomplish that. I used the couch.
Long and slow is my motto. I don't jack rabbit my girls.
So mounting on the couch worked pretty well for a while. After about the 6th or 7th time I started noticing the small splits beginning on the taint side of her puffy front port.
I did a couple of solvent repairs and since the tears were so small, it worked okay at first.
By about the 10th use she started to split dramatically even though I was taking it ever easy on her because of the pre-existing tears. So I moved to the rear hole for continued use.
ONE continued use to be exact. Because the mold was built the way that it was, the rear hole runs almost parallel to the back skin angle resulting in a very shallow TPE slab section.
I got started and even with gentle use (now understanding how soft she was), it created a new split tear headed toward her shoulder blades within a few strokes. I'm no MONSTER, so it wasn't oversize that was the cause of the split to happen so quickly. The TPE is simply too soft and the rear hole and canal is poorly positioned.


The ball joint issue: After the oil injection one leg came out perfect and over time the other joint eventually showed itself to be over oiled (due to my being a rookie and that being my first joint oiling). But over oil it I did, and once the oil is in that joint it only gets looser, the oil does not drain. Even though she was standing upright for the past 12 months in the best drainage position possible, it never gets tighter.
But that's a small issue as far as shooting her and just having to find the pose that supports that leg being a little loose is, otherwise, no big deal and the rest of her skeleton is tensioned beautifully. So she poses well even with the loose joint. She's not floppy loose, but she is loose.
To confirm this, all the rest of the new images posted below in a separate post are with the loose joint.
So that's been my general experience with her since my last review about a year ago. She'll require a hot knife to weld her back together properly, and right now her repair is low priority. If I do a repair, (I think it should be no big deal), I will make a repair post.
I will post the tear pictures now and get it over with, it's not pretty.

Head size, I ended up having to get a replacement head, because the mold on top of the threaded base was cockeyed and her head tilted to the left when the neck was upright. 6ye finally replaced it and that sorted out the bizarre angle of head issue.
But that wasn't the main problem with these heads for the 6Ye. The heads 6Ye provides for this size body (I have 3) are too small. Way too small IMHO. But with a little creativity with wardrobe and angle of shooting and hair, most people will never notice. That said if you're not taking pictures and you don't mind a small head it's no big deal. Big fluffy hair piece covers a lot.
I will post a fresh post with a bunch of pictures of Caroline looking absolutely fabulous shortly.
