Hotaru my first doll!
First thanks to Joy at Beautiful Dolls who was absolutely great. She was really helpful with getting my purchase lined out, was able to send me multiple pictures of the doll close up so i could see difference in breast size, and she answered all my questions concerning the doll and the purchase quickly and concisely. The ordering process was quick and painless. And she arrived within the projected time. I ordered her on the twenty third of March and she arrived by the 18th of April. The package was really discreet and unassuming. There was a slip of paper in a plastic case on the side of the package and it had "plastic furnishing mannequins" written on it in fine print. Taking her out of the box was one of the most surreal experiences of my life. It was really strange to be, basically, taking another person out of a box. I am a pretty self conscious guy sometimes, I have read posts on here where people talk about being overcome with shame and embarrassment when unpacking their doll. I had feared that i would have that same negative first reaction. Upon taking her out and assembling her however, all negative anticipations fell away. She was beautiful. As irrational as it sounds I found myself feeling shy, towards her which is something i never expected.
I did not originally want a fabric doll, and never thought i would get one. But she has been great. Absolutely everything i wanted out of a doll experience, and more. I have slept with Hotaru every night since she got here. Its amazing reading about how people talk about their dolls as if they have personalities which i thought was kinda weird. But now that i have one I totally get it. Something you just have to experience i guess. The first night we slept together i didn't get to sleep hardly at all. Every time i shifted she would somehow get in a position that was would "excite" me. Not only that but because i have a twin bed that i have to share with my cat (really its the cats bed) it was pretty tight. We didn't actually consummate the relationship for a couple of days. To me it just felt wrong to take her out and screw her. When we did eventually get down to business it was one of the best sexual experiences of my life. Cleanup afterwards was relatively easy.
I was really impressed by her build quality. She seems really durable and not at all flimsy or cheap. Her body consistency is great, i was worried that she would feel akin to a pillow, she is far from. She is firm but not hard soft but not pillowy. Her skin feels great. It is really really soft and silky, not realistic, but great to feel and touch. Since it is fabric i had an issue with my cats hair burrowing into her skin and creating little black lines on her body, so i have been cleaning her with a lint roller pretty regularly. Her breasts and butt have silicone implants in them, i got the E breasts which are the largest ones that you can get with the Dagmar Doll. I have seen some people say that the breasts felt too hard to them. I did not think so. They are soft and squeezable but firm to where they don't really bounce around, which is fine to me. Honestly i couldn't be happier with her. She is probably the best, most satisfying, and comforting thing i have ever bought. My only real critique of the doll lies in the range of mobility with her arms (I don't know if im doing something wrong there), her head seeming to want to not be securely attached (it fell off when i was trying to get her into position for cowgirl. We ended up skipping that. Will try again later). I really find myself wishing she had silicone lip implants as well. As they are, her lips are pretty much hard plastic covered in some foam and fabric. This does not deter me however, from making out with her quite regularly.
I am exceedingly happy with her. She is everything i wanted. Thank you for reading and thanks to all the people who helped me get here.

Re: Hotaru my first doll!
I totally understand the lack of bedspace. In my case, Sena and Irina on a Full bed take up a good amount of space. Sleep is also difficult sometimes because of their outfits.
Regarding the head on the Dagmar model, the head was difficult to get all the way down for me. I noticed a little bit of bunching/rolling on the padding at the neck area. What I did was compress the padding with one hand while pushing the head down. Head rotation is always a challenge for the Dagmar model I got. The anime deluxe version I had from last year is easier to rotate the head, but I find that I have to raise the head height up a little (it typically will be too low if I just push down, unlike the Dagmar).

Re: Hotaru my first doll!
Don't worry too much about it. The anime fabric dolls are not prone to staining from color transfer from clothes like silicone and TPE dolls are. I've had mine for over 3 years and dressed her in black and vivid reds and such without even washing them first, and never had even a little bit of staining from that.Byakuya Kuciki wrote:Thanks guys Also thanks LuvAnimeGurlz for the tips. I washed all her black stuff a couple times already and have been checking her for staining every day.

Re: Hotaru my first doll!
Ah can't say the same for me. I have a plush torso that ended up getting color transfers, mainly black clothing stains from ebay clothing and some amazon ones (issues with red and blue as well. I have a few that are essentially in "quarantine" from the rest of the clothing items). Nowadays, I test each item against water (typically during the washing phase either by hand or machine) and rubbing alcohol (shiny finishes have higher occurrences of failing this test when wiping across the surface) and log them. I also had some items transfer color onto other clothing items while dry and in storage (just close proximity), which led me to organize darker/higher color saturation clothing into ziplock bags.Tomoe wrote:Don't worry too much about it.

I bought the anime deluxe and Dagmar assuming that clothing can stain after having had stain issues with anime figures (dark pvc or clothing transferring onto lighter sections like skin, especially during the warmer months. Black fishnets on bunny girl figures have this issue depending on what I assume is the batch it was made in.). Full sized dolls also cost a bit more than scaled figures too and have a much larger area to try to fix if a color transfer does occur.

@Byakuya Kuciki
Hotaru's white wig and black thigh highs reminds me a bit of 2B of NieR: Automata.

Re: Hotaru my first doll!
Congrats on getting your doll! These Beautiful Dolls fabric ones are always pretty. Yours is not an exception. To many more sleepless nights of pure bliss! Always glad to see another person joining the fabric club of 100% of pure cuddliness.Byakuya Kuciki wrote: I did not originally want a fabric doll, and never thought i would get one.

As a doll owner-in-waiting, I feel the same way you did about the personality of the dolls. Same thing is probably going to happen to me, despite my quite thick mental barriers against the idea. Perhaps the advent of robotics the general mindset will bring about the change in general mindset about this matter.

Re: Hotaru my first doll!
@dullahan I also was originally pretty skeptical over the idea of treating my doll as if she were a person. I had watched some videos on youtube with davecat and his realdoll. It seemed really weird and kinda creepy originally and i told myself i wasn't gonna be that guy. But i guess Hotaru had other plans for me. It just sort of happens i guess, its something you have to experience.
Re: Hotaru my first doll!
If I wasn't ordering a doll I'd be playing Nier Automata at the moment. All my fun funds are directed towards the doll purchase. Looking forward to playing it once things normalize again. Already loved the first game.Byakuya Kuciki wrote:@LuvAnimeGirlz yeah the cut for her wig was inspired by 2B from Nier Automata, which has proved to be one of my favorite games for this year.

A fellow skeptic having a massive u-turn like that makes me think to just giving up and embracing the whole doll lifetyle. Seems that resistance is futile.
