Love silicone. It's the right amount of soft for my taste.

Silicone. Because nobody makes a TPE doll with a decent skeleton, they all seem to be using the same 'wire neck, wrist and ankles' design.

Which worries me. And is why if I am going to eventually go, I am going to go big.

I choose silicone. TPE is too soft for me,very easy to rip off,I think.

I want my dolls to last a long, long time. Don't want issues with melting in hot weather and changing colors because I washed them (got 2 TPE - hate TPE with a passion now).

Love my silicone Doll's feel, looks and durability.

Never ever will I even consider TPE again.

And it blows my mind that 100 cm TPE dolls cost more then 100 cm from DS, even used TPE? What's with that weirdness?

Agree with you,I never have a TPE doll. TPE smells,that sucks!

Yes, there is a certain nostalgia in that smell for me, after laying in their unopened storage box, when opened I am reminded of my summer job at 15 as a yard-boy for a small Fuel Oil Company. Turn that corner and get hit with that combined smell of gasoline, diesel and fuel oil all at once. Took some time to get use to that smell.

There are pros and cons to both materials. You just have to find the one that works best for you. TPE still is a relatively new material compared to silicone so it still has a lot of R&D left to be done on it. Heck silicone is still evolving as well. I would put PIB's new silicone mix on an equal or better footing than TPE in terms of softness and realism.

Me personally though, I am always going to have to go silicone or plush as I am allergic to TPE. :(

I do not own any tpe so can not comment on it.
Silicone is durable resistant to stains and is non porous. It is far more hygienic and can be sterilized.
The new silicones are very soft . I am curious about tpe , but for the money I think silicone has more going for it .

It is impossible to say anything about softness or realism between TPE or Sillicon if you do not have owned several different dolls.
The softness of TPE varies with different vendors , and even if you buy form same vendor they change the MIX without notice.
So statement that a specific vendor is better than another does not mean so much to other people in most cases.

My current (first) doll is TPE and she's great but I think my next doll will be silicone for durability and ease of repair.
Even so, my girl is holding up reasonably well.

My first and only doll (so far) is also TPE. Trying to decide on whether or not I should buy a silicone doll next... or another TPE. There are so many to choose from. Anyway, here's a picture of my WM Doll 140cm. Same face as Doc Brown's doll, I see.
