Meet Amber - A YL148 Beauty

Just received our first doll and compared to other horror stories I think everything for the most part turned out well.

I'll start with the few things wrong:

- huge hole in the box at the neck where the neck was completely exposed to outside elements
- massive amount of grease around the neck
- Even though factory picture showed the wigs I ordered, somehow I didn't get the blonde one

The good:

It'll be a long list. She looks and feels stunning. Certainly taken aback by the weight even with ample warning. Although she is a smaller doll she feels and looks realistic in proportion. I got a blonde wig from my studio and it suits her better than the factory photo one I had chosen. It is a little too big for her head but it works.

As I am just getting to know her I haven't really chosen much for outfits yet so she is just lounging on the chaise. She has had her first sponge bath and powder. She has next to no odour and what there is, is not unpleasant Image

She has standing feet but I have not tried to make her stand on her own yet. Just printing off some screw covers for her feet. She has her own bedroom and I have built a wig stand/Head stand for her alter ego head (we haven't named her yet). It holds any combination of 9 wigs or heads. I'll post some photos of that in a bit.

I will most likely make some sort of adjustable support stand to aid in posing her for standing photoshoots. I am curious as Ive seen on here that I should not hang YL dolls however she came with a hanging kit. Maybe a frame change?

Amber is a cutie. You can’t go wrong with that 148. A timeless classic. That is a fantastic wig and a beautiful face.

She is so beautiful, how unfortunate the problem with the grease, were you able to resolve the issue?

we used baby oil on the grease. it came off better than i thought it would because it didn't budge when touching it. Just lightly rubbed the oil up the neck so the grease moved to the more hidden part.

Congratulations, she's beautiful!

Had the same problem with a hole in the box and grease on Lynne's neck, but it's pretty much faded now after a couple of washes with eco dish washing liquid and water. A baby oil wash'll probably remove the last bits.

Enjoy the honeymoon :)

Wow, it looked bad but I guess the baby oil really did what it had to, Very nice pictures of her.

I believe that is the beautiful Lori head.
