For what it's worth, I bought this "brand" of doll and the stated measurements are similar to the ones listed for mine. She was indeed small - 140cm - and the body was weird and lanky, and the "jelly" breasts are harder than the silicone gel breasts on my new doll, and...
The traditional suggestion for a starter full-sized doll is a Kimber. She's only about twice as expensive, and you're getting a certain level of inherent quality for the price. You're also getting a certain level of
support - if you have a problem with a cheap doll, you're shit out of luck. If you buy direct from Kimber, they'll presumably work with you to solve any issues. Because they're an established vendor and have a reputation to uphold, you can be certain that you're actually going to get what you see within a reasonable (i.e. small) amount of variance, and you can be certain that they'll try to work with you if there's an issue.
Also, "1 left" on the eBay listing is a damned lie. They've got stacks of the fucking things in a warehouse over in California, lol - it's a trick to get you to impulse buy.
If you can go into it
expecting to lose your money, you can certainly try it. If the choice is "cheap doll for no more than $350" or "imma suck start a shotgun,"
please try the doll first. If you can swing a bit more budget, get a Kimber. Note that "do you like the looks" doesn't come into play here - the reason for that is that you
don't know what you're getting with an eBay doll. I got lucky, you may not.
Pros:
- You'll probably get a doll. I do wonder if the "you'll get a blow-up doll" scam is still running, with uber-cheap dolls like this available - seems like most posts of that nature are from 5+ years ago. With that said, there's a more recent post here that shows some of the "photos vs. actual product" comparisons of eBay dolls -
viewtopic.php?t=164062 - that I really wish I'd seen before I bought one.
- 140cm actually makes for a decent cuddlebuddy, even though I didn't think so at first. I definitely sympathize with your situation, and even a cheap doll was a
massive improvement to my mental health.
Cons:
- She's not going to look like the pic. For my part, mine had pics from (probably) a Starpery 159C. You can compare the attached pics below with that model from any website, lol
- More specifically, you're DEFINITELY not getting the head detail that you see in the pictures. The heads are TPE, and you're going cheap. They won't be horrible, but you can absolutely do better.
- You won't get nearly the quality you would from buying from a good and established manufacturer. You get what you pay for. The skeleton might be stiff or loose, the wig might be what you wanted or something different, the eyes may or may not be the same color as in the picture, the love holes may not be properly sealed, etc. etc. They're mass-produced by the lowest bidder.
This is the body type:

And this is what the body looks like dressed with head and an aftermarket wig. Note the thin limbs being the major problem making her look "young" - if you hide her figure in any way, it's going to look weird.
