My Hedy 171C is here!
Posted: Thu Jul 01, 2021 12:52 am
Hello Everyone,
I can hardly believe it! She arrived this afternoon!
Her name is Lana (like Superboy's girlfriend, also a redhead).
As promised, here are my unboxing photos and first impressions review:
PACKAGING:
Standard Starpery packaging. I was quite relieved the box arrived in decent condition!
ACCESSORIES:
Bikini-type lingerie top and bottom with thin pink robe. Not bad for a random selection.
Comb with wide-spaced metal teeth, for artificial hair I presume.
Sound device with USB cord (not yet installed)
Small plastic bellows with nozzle for cleaning.
1 extra neck bolt, default bolt with head is quick-connect type.
1 USB heating rod, far too small for her love holes. I have ordered a USB rod and electric blanket from Amazon, but she got here first!
OUT OF THE BOX - WEIGHT
Weight was one of my major concerns going in, as I wanted something a little taller than petite. Lana has been updated with weight reduction, and weighs in at 75.5 lbs (34.2 kg) according to my scale. Not bad considering her height, and she is easier to move around than I expected. I was even able to get her to free stand on the scale!
BODY & HEAD
Excellent sculpting and details. Painted-on skin details such as freckles and veins are subtle, not overdone. No loose primary joints, holds poses well. There is the seam line associated with silicone bodies, but it's not terribly noticeable, especially with this skin tone.
Articulated fingers pose well, but no reinforcement at the fingertips; some feel as if the metal could poke through. Potential buyers, be careful with these. I would recommend the manufacturer reinforce the finger "bones" with plastic, especially the tips.
Standing feet bolts appear to be properly positioned, no issues with the surrounding silicone. Big toe is wired, remaining toes are not.
Body joints are quite tight, and some take a bit of effort to move. Using leverage is the key, of course. This may improve with time and usage.
As for the softness of this silicone body, the gel breasts feel authentic; the rest of the body feels fairly soft to about 1/2" deep but quite firm beyond that, especially the thighs. I would have preferred her bottom been a bit softer, but it's acceptable to me since she doesn't have a huge "bubble-butt". She feels like a woman in REALLY good shape, almost like an athlete.
The head shown is the hard silicone version, and it is quite firm, except for the lips. I like the look of the implanted hair, but quite a few strands fell out or were pulled out while combing. I'll keep an eye on this. I also ordered the same head in soft silicone, but it shipped separately and hasn't arrived yet.
