Hello all,
I’ve been looking at getting myself a doll and have decided on the 166C with head #273, I’ve spoken to the retailer and recieved some photos. Am about to pull the trigger and make the purchase. I’ve been quite hesitant for multiple reasons which I’m sure you can all relate to. Seeing how happy you all are with your 166c’s and reaching out to the retailer and seeing the photos there was no turning back, I’m already smitten Haha. Unable to post pictures yet as I’m still a newbie
She comes fully upgraded, with shrug shoulders and double hinge joints, enhanced mouth, gel breasts, articulated fingers, standing feet and skin art. I know I have a lot to learn, but am excited to do so!
I did a review and comparison, with pictures,
viewtopic.php?t=156784 fairly recently after having the doll for a couple of years and selling it
viewtopic.php?t=156865. Interestingly enough I saw the buyer I sold to also ended up selling the doll. He was new and did a little damage to her knees (pics in his post
viewtopic.php?t=159102) so just be careful since there's a hard metal skeleton underneath all that soft TPE.
For care I'd get a spray bottle to mix water and dish soap for cleaning, a large makeup brush and cornstarch/powder to remove tackiness from the TPE after cleaning, and store her standing upright so you don't hurt your back moving her around and this will also help prevent damaging her. I use female condoms so I have some baby oil and a kitchen utensil with long handle for pressing it into the fixed vagina, and water-based lube for the inside of the female condom. The baby oil goes on the outside of the female condom to make inserting it easier and it soaks into the TPE and doesn't require any type of cleanup, but this oil is too grippy for the inside of the condom so I use water-based lube there. If you find the lip and nip makeup fading like I do, any type of Amazon search "lip color pallet" will let you re-stain the TPE and it will last as long as the original makeup does. Some people use eye shadow pallets but these lip ones are an easier first step. Use super glue if the eyelashes are loose or if the nails come off. And finally, dark clothing and dark fabric inside wigs will stain the TPE within minutes. So use light clothing and take off wigs during storage if you want to prevent staining.
Hope this helps, good luck!
