No - I don't believe water flows uphill.
I have experience of dealing with Chinese companies in particular in the solar energy field and in particular advising customers in Africa. From that experience I have a pragmatic understanding of dealing with suppliers from China.
Yes the manufacturer has been wrong to deliver a doll expected to be within the weight range of liftability but which for most of us is beyond that limit.
But the point is that for some such dolls are an important market.
Were you to be a customer I would be with your cause 100% of the way but as a vendor you have now personal knowledge of this doll, her advantages, particularly of feel, and for some the realism of her high weight, as well as her disadvantages.
As a vendor now you are better qualified to market the doll accordingly and advise customers appropriately and to profit as a respectable vendor as a result.
Upon receipt of this doll, even the head which arrived beforehand, I was blown away by the extent to which Sino-Doll really have produced a silicone doll that's capable of providing a tactile experience equal and possibly exceeding that provided by TPE. As such this line of dolls is to be encouraged and in the 161 model will give no reason to disappoint anyone seeking such a silicone companion.
The DS 167EVO now comes close but at a significantly higher price.
As a vendor you now have the opportunity to offer that extraordinary quality of companionship in whatever form a doll provides at a significantly lower cost through the agency of Sino-Doll.
Chinese "facts" always need checking and the products obtainable from China come within that context. This is why people are willing to pay you a higher price margin for you to accomplish that task. Chinese products, however inaccurately described in China are often at a price at which excellent value for money is achieved provided one is conscious of the physical reality, and as a first rate vendor who knows the real facts, you're able to market the goods upon the physical criteria you've measured.
It's the job of a good vendor to source good products and to market them appropriately. For some the existing weight of the 172 is still a good product and you've found numerous other aspects that are good.
Your whingeing seems more directed to trashing the line of products of which you've received a prototype than it does ascertaining the measurements and marketing the product under the correctly found facts as a commercial vendor. Indeed your post
viewtopic.php?p=1422287#p1422287 referring to checking their website daily reeks of something even more than an obsession.
I enthuse about good dolls which will give people pleasure and
I stake my reputation upon others being as enthusiastic about this lady as I am.
A little technicality that I've noticed is the knee joints. They're a double hinge enabling her to kneel. From one point of view these worry me as that's a double joint to loosen perhaps in due course. This is taken from the idea of Irontech/SM who started doing the same but achieved with a gear mechanism to do it. As this is patented Sino Doll have to go to the simpler solution. Whilst this might be a risk, the fact that David tells me that one can operate and tighten joints as required makes my concerns on this irrelevant.
There's both promise and innovation in these dolls and as a vendor you'll be able to profit well as a result of people's enthusiasm if properly marketed. But that means being patient with respect to the early prototypes and giving the manufacturer appropriate feedback and strong advice without seemingly setting out to ruin their business.
There is a lot of difference, and none, between viewing a glass half full and viewing a glass half empty. But in the case of SinoDoll on account of the extraordinary properties of the silicone they are using the glass is significantly more than half full, and needing not much topping up to achieve being exceptional.
My 161 has achieved the status of "treasured doll". That means that whilst people might see a JY or an SY or other doll available from me from time to time, and I've given a couple away, the SinoDoll lady will not be parting from me other than as a result of any overriding influence of my wife.
Best wishes

PS It's appropriate to mention that whereas you're point the finger at the advertised weight of the 161 as 31kgs, less the head at 2kgs, she is actually 33kgs, and such a difference is commonly observed across the board and in a weight band where such a difference is irrelevant.
