Summit Series Jodie review from me

BiSH · Post by **BiSH** » Sat Aug 15, 2020 11:20 am

So this is my perspective/review of DS Dolls Summit Series Jodie. One of the best things is there are a million dolls for everyone to find what they like. Jodie checked the majority of my wants. And I’ll go through them for you.

First just the process. I went through Jeff at BCD. But I was in communication with DS too. So their was plenty of emails going back and forth between the 3 of us. And I have no complaints.

First is the packaging. I don’t have pics but you can find them on their site. And it must be second to none.

This is my second doll and where I store/hide my doll requires a certain height. Jodie met that criteria. It’s also a height that I prefer so it worked out perfectly. I do prefer a petite girl. And Jodie is tiny. Her cup size is also petite but very realistically proportional. I expected her chest to be harder from a video that I saw but I was pleasantly surprised how they felt. I’m not saying it's realistic but definitely pleasant.

Next is the implanted hair. I choose just head hair and not pubic hair. So this will be very overwhelming for me. I am no stylist. Haha. At first it was just sticking everywhere but once i got her cleaned and powered it was more manageable. So far I’ve just kept it in a braid but I'm sure I'll be adventurous at some point. I have dealt with some shedding and it's not hard to pull out single hairs. So I’ll do my best being delicate. I do need to find a care guide for her hair.

One of my biggest wants was non wired hands. And so far these hands have been a million times better for me. All though I’m still figuring out the thumb. The feet are also non wires and quite adorable.

To me, her proportions are outstanding. And I think the result of that is weight disbursement. I don't have any issues carrying her around even though she's 60 plus pounds.

I don't know how to describe her new tech skin. It's not the paint job. Like I don't see any veins or anything like that. Its more about the texture. But also the look of the texture. I wish I could explain this better. But I am a fan.

And the last thing on my short list that I wanted to talk about is her seamless neck. I believe this must be a very personable want seeing that so many use these dolls differently. But for me this was very high on my list. I absolutely love her head being fixed. And it adds more realism for me. But it just looks great not seeing that seem.

Overall I’m very obviously happy with her. Now that being said, no doll I've seen is perfect. Like you can clearly see her body seems still. Not that I expected that to be different. Their is still movements that I haven't figured out yet. And some other things that I still have to figure out before I say they are negatives.

If you have any questions, I’ll do my best answering them. But I also believe people have different perspectives on different things. So this is just me and my perspective. And I'm still rotating names. One will stick soon I hope. Thanks for reading this.

Congratulations BiSH, she is beautiful. I'm glad you are happy with her. That's a great picture you linked to, and now that you have 5 posts, you can post as many pictures as you want which I encourage you to do

I look forward to seeing more of her and learning more about your lives together, please share as you have time.

Congrats, BiSH and I also look forward to seeing more photos and hearing how you're getting on with her. A Summit is on my short list for my next doll, so reviews such as yours are very important to me

Sounds like you had similar desires for quality as I did. Glad she checked off so many boxes...

For her hair, you will want a leave in conditioner and a wide tooth comb. There are some really great guides online for taking care of a real human hair wig. This is basically the same.

Congratulations on such a great doll!

Thanks for this. I'll have to pick up that stuff. And I'm sure I'll end up a hair stylist in a couple months. Haha, probably not

Don't forget, a woman with a full head of hair can still wear wigs to change styles, so do not feel limited.

I just wanted to show a close up on her hand

Lovely and delicate hands. She is just a little fox.

Fantastic detail, how do they react to moving and holding positioning?
The quality looks really GREAT!

I think I have to spend some time with her hands to give a great answer but here's a couple pics.

Yea they can hold things fine, if you play with that joint running from wrist to between the fingers *flatten it* you can get the fingers to grip more natural position and ball into fists too. Here's Maho being silly and taking a selfie.

Looking good BiSH, What's her name?
