I received my doll on July 6 from Fedex and it seems that there was a lot of turbulence in the transport of the package. Here's how the neck was when it arrived in the box:
The neck was very difficult to straighten but luckily it was not broken
It seems that the package has been inspected by Canadian customs and there was even a wig half removed from its bag, so the bag was badly closed again probably by the customs officers:
I also noticed a slight cut in the neck near the doll's connector
Let's put the bad news aside for a moment. One of the good news is that I received exactly the doll I ordered and with all the options requested (EVO, standing feets, medium skin color, second head, etc.). The doll matched the factory photos exactly (see this topic viewtopic.php?f=244&t=129508).
Regarding accessories, it looks like this :
I think it's a very good idea from WM to have supplied the doll with the screws with the white plastic tip. Surely much better protection for the doll's feet and the floor of the house.
I was a little surprised because there was no strong smell of TPE (compared to another doll I have already received whose TPE material seemed different). Very weak, barely noticeable odor (idem for the insert).
The 157b model is really small and the doll is really light (compared to the other doll I had already ordered), 20 pounds less, it makes a great difference.
I had ordered the #56 head and I was very satisfied with the result (I had redone the make-up which did not suit me on the first factory photos):
Unfortunately, on July 9, the head connector dropped (stuck inside the head)
:
It surprised me a lot that the connector dropped so easily for no reason, but since the transport of the package was very hectic, it is quite possible that this is the cause (and not a manufacturing defect).
To finish this short text, I am generally satisfied with the WM doll I received and would like to thank Romain from realistic-love-doll.com for the excellent follow-up he gives me and WM. I have a replacement head, TPE glue and wigs that were not sent which should leave the WM factory soon
As I said in another topic I would take photos (as soon as I receive the replacement head) because I find this head very photogenic and like to take pictures of her. Until then, it gives me a little time to find him some clothes because I don't have much to dress her…
NOTE: Sorry if I have a little trouble with my English, my original language is French.
