Sorry for troubles.
Great review. Also very good pictures.
Your "game" compare in your first post was outstanding. As a fellow gamer it really it home so to speak. I could understand your pains better. I thought of a couple of games but "Dead Island" came to mind first. I wish a patch-hotfix would cure & fix all for you.
My fingers are crossed for you so to speak!!!!
I really wish you sincere best wishes & good luck.
Thank you.
Please take care......

Thanks Voyager. Glad you liked my review.
Finally managed to get the creases out. Except for the ankles. But they look better.

When the doll arrived the eyelashes were damaged pretty bad. The left were hanging and the right were crushed. So I got new ones (above)

I used superglue to attach one eyelash set and eyelash glue for the other. Can you guess which was which?

Eyelash glue is a mess. Doesn't hold at all and smears all over lids and eye! Finding it hard to repair the lashes. But the superglue holds them great. It took some work to get them off. The right side anyway.

I'm really glad to see those deep indentations across the breasts came out. That's very encouraging. I'm pretty sure the creases across the ankles are mold related. The toes are probably pointed somewhat in the mold, so having the foot flat produces the creases. We're likely stuck with those.

What did you use to color her nipples? Blush or eyeshadow, maybe?

I've been using blush on the nips, lips cheeks and privates. I put in on pretty heavy then wipe the excess off with a baby wipe. Tape to remove overspill. Except cheeks, have to get it right the first time. Also using lip gloss on the lips. Eye shadow above the eyes. Black sharpie goes on great as an eyeliner but comes off a little too easy. Do you know a good way to get the nails off? They put the wrong toenails on. Maybe I'll just paint with nail polish.

Don't have any makeup on the silicone girl.

The dolls both are looking very good. Congratulation, on getting the crease off the breast. As has been stated, that is reassuring.

Hey, siliken. You've got your dolls looking prime and lovely! The Silicone one doesn't need much help to look great, and Aria looks fantastic all "dolled up"! You do a nice job with makeup, wigs, and outfits.

I'm also really glad to see most of the the compression marks came out, and it's great that you'll be reimbursed for the head. It has worked out well, all things considered.

I must learn how to apply makeup and girly stuff for my Arisa. Thank you for inspiring.

Very useful information.

I didn't like the toenails on my WM135 because they stuck out and seemed like they'd snag stockings and pantyhose. I pulled them off gently by having the doll laying on her back with her feet pointing straight up, then holding the end of the toenail between thumb and forefinger of one hand, I used my other thumb on the top of the toe itself to roll the toe down and away from the nail. It wasn't too hard since things don't stick to TPE that well. The trick was to go slow and not overstretch the TPE. Any contact cement that remained on the TPE I was able to pick off carefully. No damage was done to the doll or nails. (I hope that description is understandable.

Sorry to necro, but can anyone attest wether these problems have been corrected?
The badly protected shipping, the wonky neck thing, these are things I want to know, as I'm planning on buying WM doll soon.

Gee, here I was thinking I was the only one with these issues.
My 140 shipped from WM directly. Seems like the problems are a bit more widespread than the vendors like to let on.
Let's just say the Customer support from a different vendor has been wanting...

Kudos to BD for at least trying to make it right.

Welp I told em to put a huge arrow on the box to prevent it being shipped/stored the wrong direction.. Now if they would only put it on the right side of the box.

I did't request one.
Yeah standing up is how FedEx dumped her in my living room. When my wife sent me that pic at work, I flipped out and told her to lay the box own immediately.
After telling me there's no way that the factory did that and it was "someone else work", I saw an arrow in another thread months later and confronted them about it.
Then they said they "forgot" that WM was doing this as part of their "advanced shipping system".
I bet she shipped he entire way like that.
They also take no responsibility for my girls' broken toe wire.

Bottom line is that I caught them in a lie and they made a new excuse.
I will not mention the vendor in another vendor's thread but if anyone would like to know who it was, feel free to PM me.
