Roust and I had been saving for a PIB, Girl Next Door, but after seeing the poll results and looking at the thread and links provided here, we are now going to get a Ruby 13. Thanks to all for helping us make an informed decision. :)

Hi,
With only 8 votes, I believe that the results are far conclusive at this time.
That is, in my opinion, quite a small sample of the number of PIB owners out there.
Come on PIB owners! Let's get that vote in!

I shall receive my doll in a week or two, it's a GND, with painted eyelashes and pubic hair... PIBs are very beautifull, at least, for what I've seen in photos... But I own a Bella face since 3 years now, and she's absolutely marvelous, and still in pristine condition! So, I assume that it'll be the same for my future doll... :wink: You can count on me to give you my impressions!! :wink:
Anyway, Patrick has always been kind and friendly with me, he has answered at mostly of my questions, even if he was busy, and as a customer, I really appreciate it! Now, let's see what will happen! :wink: But I'm confident... 8)

Satisfied? Absolutely!...
Candi is a Bathing Beauty with an Eden head.
She was shipped in a cardboard box with 2 wooden slats in the bottom for strength. It was heavy: 107 lbs.
At first, I didn't think that was sufficient to protect such delicate cargo but she was wrapped in lots of padding, her own personal powdering sheet
and bubble wrap so that she arrived without a single mark that I could see!

1) There so many really great things about Candi, many that I wasn't prepared for:

Her body is just unbelievable! So perfectly sexy. My vision of a perfect body.
Her breasts and nipples: incredible, uplifted, separated, soft, squeezable, perfect! Just the right size.
Her skin is THE softest and most natural feeling that I have yet to see (or feel) on a doll.
I just love her little 'tummy bulge', it adds so much the the realism!

Her range of natural movement and posing ability is just remarkable.
Unbelievably natural and sexy poses are so easy for her.
When I first picked her up from inside her box, I immediately noticed that she didn't feel like a doll.
She felt more like an unconscious person. (without a head!)
Whatever Patrick has put inside for a skeleton in really something else.
Her limbs and body are not rigid and stiff like my Jenny (RD) and Jessie (BT, who is very stiff).
Her movement is gentle and flowing like a living girl. I like this. A lot.

Her hands and feet are very natural. In fact, I think her hands are exactly like a human model. Nice!
I love to just hold her hand and feel how natural and soft it feels. The fingers are long, slim and elegant.
I got finger wires and the best part is that they do not extend to the ends of the fingers.
This way, there is a lot of extra flexibility in the fingers so finger pokes and other damage is less likely. Also, very Nice!
Her finger and toenails are French Manicure (my favorite) and they are basically flawless.

The design of her private area is such that her legs do not have to be kept 'open' when storing, to prevent creasing, as my other dolls do.
Her legs! Wow, I just love the details: her kneecaps, shins and calves, long and slim, super sexy!

The wig that Patrick sent with her is a 'lace front' (unexpected) and it is almost the exact color and style I was looking for.

There are no obnoxious 'filled' holes on the back of her wrists and ankles like my other dolls. Super!

Her head is easily and quickly removed. This facilitates make-up application/modification, cleaning and moving her, etc.

2) There are just a few 'not so good' things that I wasn't prepared for:

I waited 20 weeks for my Candi. This is a LONG time when you are waiting. I thought that was too long,
although after seeing her, I would have waited a lot longer.

Communications from PIB were minimal.
My notes, photos and emails to Patrick and crew, regarding her specifications, were not as effective as I had hoped or expected.
I think that, and the minimal communication, are two things that they need to address.
Because of this, her face is not entirely as I had specified.
What I got is not, in some respects, what I wanted, but I cannot say that 'what I wanted' would be better than what I got! :D

There are several small imperfections in her skin that were not filled completely successfully.
Mostly on her back and shoulder areas, NOT on her breasts, chest, abdomen, legs or anywhere that would be bothersome.
Of course, my other dolls have some also. They are apparently almost impossible to eliminate completely.

I also got the neck hook option. This is great for storage but her head tends to hang quite low when she's on her hook,
so it's not so good for standing poses.
I will work on that. When the hook is removed, the hole in her skin tends to 'disappear'. This is Nice!

The 'seams' on her body are very good, but on her arms and lower legs they are slightly more noticeable than I would have expected.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Any negative comments are far overshadowed by the positive and I realize that some of my 'negatives' are picky.
I'm just trying to be thorough. Inquiring minds want to know! What I got IS wonderful!
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If some of you need a rating, say from 1 to 10... as of today I give her an 11!

Candi just oozes a lifelike and unbelievable sexual quality. I think that says it all!

3) Bottom line: Patrick and crew, you done good, real good!

Here is TinkerBella - the doll mentioned above with the repaired thigh - as she is today.

She started out as Bella with a Joon head but has become TinkerBella when she was transformed into an elf with a Fujiko head.

It's hard to explain but I think I am in love with her.

Couldn't be happier with the GND body and several heads purchased last month. Excellent attention to detail. Please add my response to the official poll results.

I expected a lot from my PIB, but I tried to stay as realist as possible... But PIBs do not obey to real life rules... They're a dream, and regarding this, my GND has exceeded all my expectations! Soon, I'll do a review with photos... but I'm really, really happy with this doll, that's why I have opted for the "I can't be happier with her" option!

I would tell anyone to start here for your first girl!!!!

Oh Man! I have a PIB on order, now you all are making me nervous.... Are the doll photos better than the actual doll?

The photos of Pibs don't even come close to the true beauty they process, there true works of art.

With all due respect to the "Polls" being taken here
regarding how happy folks are with their dolls...there are many people
who never respond to polls at all. In fact, most of the dolls are
purchased by the "viewers" who never post on TDF and literally
disappear after they receive their doll. Perhaps a wiser way to go
about this would be to ask people "where" they believe the doll might
be improved. This would give each individual doll maker a much better
insight as to how they might improve their dolls, especially since no
two doll makers follow the exact same methods and formulas.

Well this poll serves the exact purpose that it is supposed to which is to get a general idea of the satisfaction of customers here on TDF. I see your point about the fact that many buyers have never even been to TDF, but that doesn't take away from this poll. Since the numbers speak for themselves it also takes the wind out of the sails of any would-be libelist.

I also don't think that you (or any other manufacturer) would really want a poll or thread dedicated to the shortcomings of your product. I think that people already complain and offer enough suggestions all over TDF that you should know what it is that they want, not to mention it should be quite clear that meeting all of the individual demands/suggestions is impossible.
....one can be sure of nothing until it has already happened....
