My First Doll, FunWest Bella

Khyber223 · Post by **Khyber223** » Wed Mar 06, 2024 4:29 pm

I received this doll a few days ago but didn’t have time to open up her box, and when I did, she surpassed my expectations! Shout out to RosemaryDoll for being patient with an indecisive first buyer who had a ton of questions. They shipped her within a couple of days after I ordered her, and the doll was just as advertised.

Here’s a mini-review of Funwest Bella; she looks EXACTLY like Funwest’s photos, from the subtle freckles to the little mole near her mouth. One of the things that made me sad while searching for my first doll is how so many manufacturer photos differ so greatly compared to the doll you’re actually going to get. I love the subtle veiny painting on her hands, and her nipples looks very realistic. She is heavy, but not unmanageable. I lifted her up and down the stairs a couple of times with no difficulty, and I haven’t worked out in weeks, it’s just weird holding on to that soft TPE flesh. She is oily as expected, and she absorb stain like crazy. We were dressing her up, but couldn’t decide what outfit to temporarily put her on, so we went out to dinner and left her on the bed surrounded by several outfits. Unfortunately a denim jeans was slightly touching her left knuckles and after a couple of hours, it was enough to make the back of her left hand a sickly dark blue mess.

Fortunately, I learned from you kind gents that acne meds are a great way to deal with staining, and after one treatment, ALL the stains disappeared. I was honestly shocked how well it worked. But I am now extremely hesitant to put her in anything dark colored clothing, no matter how many times I wash them. Anyways, sorry for the substandard photo, I need to find a way to take some decent photos of her

Congratulations brother!

She looks gorgeous. May I ask what head model is this? And also about the staining, is it really that easy and bad? I bought an afdoll before and even though i got it for cheap, I barely had any problems with staining. There was only an incident of staining once when I bought specific brand of wig. The inner cap stained the doll's head.

I bought a Funwest doll not long ago, currently waiting for arrival and hoping the staining will not be too bad. But I'm thinking maybe it's because of the initial oiliness? Idk.

Your doll is gorgeous and really happy for you man. Looking forward to more pictures.

She is beautiful! Your photos are just fine, no apologies needed. FunWest gives you what you see, no misleading adverts. I hope she’s everything you could have wished for, and more!

Looks amazing, in truth if this was not a doll site and I knew she was a Funwestdoll she could be taken for real...

I didn’t take photos of the stain, but it was pretty bad. What shocking was the fact that her hand was barely touching the jeans, it’s as if her skin sucked the color in. But like I said, now it’s complete gone after 1 application of acne cream, and left alone for 1 day. I think you’re right, it had to do something with the initial oiliness. She’s still oily to the touch, but after a couple of days, i can barely feel the oil, and the I have to lean in very close in order to smell her TPE skin.

And her model is the European Bella. Not sure about model number because RosemaryDoll didn’t list any, but she’s the blonde Bella that’s wearing that flared skirt and corset from the factory photos.

As a side note, my doll orders are slowly trickling in. The mouth set is for a WMdoll I’m waiting for, but I decided to try the tongue on Bella. Not sure if I like it.

And now, for the proverbial hipster look that apparently I was subconsciously fashioning, here’s Bella with glasses!

That’s what made me decide to buy her to be honest, I especially love her eyes. I bought a couple of different colors, but after trying them on, I went back to her original factory eyes.

Thanks! I’m afraid this hobby is quite addicting, she already has several friends on their way here soon.

Thank you! I’m a big fan of Funwest now. Even their factory wigs (she came with 2 for some odd reason) were a lot better than I expected, pretty high quality, I was expecting cheap Amazon/alieexpress-tier wig tbh.

Wow you got a knack for poses bro. Just tooo hot this doll.

congratulations on your Bella.

I would wash dark clothes, then put them in a bucket with water and laundry soap for 2 days. If the water discolors, then take them with the next wash and repeat the process until the water is no longer discolored ands then it's save to put on your doll without staining

I wouldn’t say she smelled a lot out of the box, but it’s definitely noticeable when I first opened up her box, like a new car smell. I guess it’s subjective, but I’m used to new toy/action figure smell, so it didn’t bother me all that much, and the scent didn’t linger past a couple of days, now I have to get real close before I can even smell her. Also she’s the 157cm C-cup model.

A trick here ... for sure you sat her in the bath in a inch or two of water to clean her. But when you do, wash the blanket she comes in in the washing machine with hot water. Usually the blanket smell more than the doll itself and it transfer back the smell to the doll.

Also, recent blend of TPE have no smell at all ... and release no oil. The latest series of Starpery (Brooke in my signature) have no smell whatsoever. But don't sweat the smell too much, it will disapear within few days. Wash the doll and the blanket few times and it will be gone.

By the way you need to take pictures of her! Bella is gorgeous and there are not many picture of that doll around.
