UNBOXING / Review: Starpery 169cm / Wushi / Yao / Zhu Lin
Posted: Wed Sep 07, 2022 6:16 am
I just received my new Starpery 169cm silicone doll and will make an unboxing. It will be in multiple parts (I don't have the time to do everything at once )
Keep in mind that it's my first silicone doll so I can only compare it to the SEXYE TPE dolls I have.
I also bought the doll exclusively for photoshooting so I won't be able to give information about LHP.
First, the doll:
Brand: Starpery
Seller: realdollonline (non TDF vendor)
Body: 169cm silicone
Head 1: Wushi hard silicone with implanted hairs and movable eyes
Head 2: Yao hard silicone with implanted hairs and movable eyes
Head 3: Zhu Lin soft silicone with wig and movable eyes
Options:
- Gel breasts
- Standing feet (bolts)
- Gear skeleton
- Shrugging shoulder
- Articulated fingers
- Realistic body painting
- Weight reduction
- Matte finish for body and both hard silicone heads
Shopping experience:
I bought the doll from the non TDF vendor "realdollonline". First thing, I want to give them many thanks for their seriousness, professionalism and great communication!
I had read good things about them from other forum members that mostly bought Gamelady Doll from them. There is no Dolls' dealers worth mentioning in my country so I didn't see the point in adding one more step and ordering from a seller outside of China. I also had very good experiences ordering directly from a chinese domestic brand (SEXYE) on Aliexpress so that was fine with me.
Realdollonline is offering to pay by PayPal which add some security. Their photographer, Craftsman No. 14, made a lot of promotional photos for various brands, including Starpery and FANREAL. He also made several videos reviews (available on youtube) and factories photos so they know the dolls.
Another reason I choose them is because their web site is clear, with complete information about the dolls and had up-to-date options, at least for the brands I looked at (I was not looking for a specific brand but for a body/head I liked).
Their customer care specialist, Milo Cui, was very fast to answer my questions both by chat and by email and contacted directly the factory to clarify some details.
I placed my order near the end of Starpery's anniversary sale. During that sale, Starpery was offering a free head to the first 50 orders. My order was way too late for that but they still managed to get me the free head! Once again, thank you very much!
A little after placing my order, I received the Teeth&Tongues kit from The Doll Laboratory. I liked it that much that I ended-up buying a 3rd head in soft silicone to use with it.
On Realdollonline website, there was a matte finish option for the Starpery dolls. As I am buying the doll exclusively from doing photoshooting, I really wanted it. Some others sellers were also listing it but it wasn't on Starpery website. I contacted them to ask if it was really an option and they told me yes. The price they quoted was a lot lower than on the various sellers' sites. I told Realdollonline, they checked with Starpery and corrected the price of the option.
On there website, Starpery is offering a free hanging hook if we ask them. Realdollonline asked it for me but just after shipping the doll, Starpery informed them they forgot to include it. So they shipped it separately (I should receive it soon). That was great of them to notice they forgot it and contact us about it.
I took one month to produce the doll which was the announced production time (4-5 weeks). Shipping was done by UPS (first from China to Hong Kong by some freighter where UPS took over to ship to EU). The total shipping took a little less than 2 weeks (shipped the 29 August and received the 6 September).
I was soo pleased with the experience that I went over and ordered a FANREAL doll from Realdollonline
