Yet another newbie
I'm new to the community. Looks like there are a lot of newbies lately!
My doll adventure:
I heard about Japanese dolls many years ago, but it is only very recently that I learned about the wide variety of brands and dolls. I do buy stuff from AliExpress (I know...), and that's how I 'stumbled' on pictures of Jinsan dolls. I was impressed by the low prices compared to the specs. So, I started to look around for some information, and I must say: like ancient Rome, all the roads lead to this forum. It has been very resourceful for the last few months and I would like to thank you for that.
I did buy a first 'test doll' on AliExpress (165cm JY type), to see how it handles. I was quite confident about the site and its Buyer's Protection mode. I also had medium expectations on the overall quality because of the warnings I found here beforehand. The weight was not an issue, but the height mattered.
That first doll was a fair deal. So, I started to look for the next level in TPE and I ended up buying a Doll House 168 EVO 170cm with Cat head. I choosed this time to go through a TDF-approved reseller (Sandro from Dollstudio.org) in order to have some kind of insurance; a follow-up and a warranty, or at least help if something goes wrong. This was a wise choice and I can only recommend it to the next forum guests that are wandering around.
So far, so good. The doll is fine and I will post some pictures soon (not sure when that will be possible though)

On the other hand, I did actually have an issue with the height, lol
I ordered a 165cm (5ft4) doll and she ended up being around 155cm (5ft1) while standing. As I found out on this forum and later confirmed by the seller, some (cheap) manufacturers measure height from the toes and not the heels. But it's ok.

Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.
