I’m going to purchase my first doll and i think i’m gonna pick a wm 140 A just like Maddie, but I have several questions if you don’t mind :
- what is the skin tone of Maddie ? White or « natural » ?
- does the shrugging add really anything ?
- why Maddie is your favorite ? I’m hesitating with the SM 156, being 180cm myself, i’m Wondering if a 140cm would feel weird. Does she feel better ? Her skin softer ? Or something else ?
-does she have a tongue ?
Thank you !
Hi DavidTenninch, Welcome to TDF
1) Maddie is white skin tone.
2) The shrugging shoulders ads to her ability to pose in a shy or otherwise expressive way. Worth the extra cost in my opinion.
3) WM and SM dolls are about the same skin softness. The SM 156 A cup is 35.5 kg / 78.3 lbs., The WM 140 A cup is 25.6 kg / 56.4 lbs. The weight difference doesn't sound like much, but it can make a big difference when moving the doll around and posing her. As for the overall height of the doll, that is a personal thing. Get out a tape measure and stand next to 145 cm. For me, 145 is a nice height, but I am short myself at 165 cm. And I like petite women.
4) Maddie did come with a tongue.
5) One thing I think new doll buyers don't consider is how important it is to find a face that you really like. This is as important as finding the perfect body type you like. The face is what you will "bond" with. If you don't already own a doll and know what I am talking about, that will sound crazy to you. But trust me, the majority of doll owners are surprised to find they have bonded with her. It is the best part of owning a doll for me.
