First Doll top choice Elfie
First Doll top choice Elfie
I have decided to purchase my first Doll A Sanhui 118cm Elfie. I got lots of help from TDF members about what to expect and general tips. Thanks all. I want my first doll to be compact for storage, light weight for handling, and silicone for quality. As an elf, she fits the fantasy desire as well. Why go human when you could have an elf? I am, however, taking my time choosing the customization options. The jiggly is a definite yes, but I'm undecided about the color. I like the original as well as the forest and dark elf skin tones, but can't seem to decide. From the pictures I've seen Sanhui artists do an amazing job in any case. I'm also still a little fuzzy on the actual scale. I get the 118cm but I'd like to see a pic of her next to something like a door since the handles are typically a standard height. That would give excellent visual for scale, if anybody is able to do that. I'll probably be submitting the order within the next few days. I just want to sleep on it and maybe gets some more info before committing.
Thanks

For a visiual representation of scale - check out my thread on It's all about scale. Lin is 110cm, part way down the thread, second doll from the left. 110-120cm is VERY small. Although, as stated, if the girl has proper proportions they can appear larger than they actually are. Still, 118cm is smaller that I would recommend for someones first gal, IF, you're expecting them to be a representation of a real gal. Sanhui (and JM) do an amazing job scaling down real gals to make smaller versions seem larger / more mature. I could never fault either gal, so it really comes down to what YOU are looking for. If you want a gal to replace or simulate an RG, then you need to go larger. But,if you want a stand-in to have some fun with, who will be easy to clean, handle, position, and dork at your beck and call, well, the 110-118cm silicone gals are tough to beat IMHO.

Regarding durability, you do still have to be careful since the silicone is quite soft. It is also stretchy, so tearing from a stretch is not too likely, but the concern is in areas where it might be stretched relatively thin near a joint (e.g. with knee or elbow bent). In my case, the doll had a small tear in the knee from kneeling on a hardwood floor. This was just a bit stupid on my part. Generally she should always be in contact with soft surfaces. If nothing else, the soft blanket she will come with provides some level of protection if you need to put her somewhere like the floor. In your case, since you didn't mention the standing foot pegs, always make sure she is wearing shoes during any standing positions, and don't leave her that way very long. Another way to accidentally cause damage is carrying through doorways not realizing how far out her foot or head are sticking out, even if she is relatively small.Snoman99 wrote:Thanks Agent D! Awesome pics and information. My thoughts were to start out with something durable and less maintenance. The silicone 118 fit in all categories. I'm not looking to replace women or simulate a GF I just wanted something cute and fantasy related that would be easy to clean and hide.
Congrats on your decision! Be sure to post your impressions and photos once you get her!
Sent you a PM with some pics of Ellie at my messy place.

The package is discreet. They'd have to completely open the package to figure out what was inside. I think it ships as a mannequin.Snoman99 wrote:Just wanting to work out some logistics before ordering. Like should i have it delivered to my home or pick it up at a fed-ex facility? I live in an apartment and I'm curious how discrete the shipping is from Sanhui. At my place, delivered packages go to the main office where they are kept in a climate controlled storage room until the recipient can pick it up. I trust my apartment management to not damage or sneak a peek. But, would the box have anything on the outside that would suggest what was inside? I understand the shipping info would also contain a description. What would it say?

"hold for pickup" is the best option.

Elfie was on my short list (no pun intended) along with Eva, Sarah, and Lisa from Sanhui. One of these sweet gals will be my next purchase, but for now, Gwen (150cm and 55lbs) is my girl.
Elfie's hot! You could have a lot of fun with different eye colors and wigs. Because I'm inclined in this direction, I'd go with a lighter natural skin tone...

It's not really advertised as such, but a conversation I had with Sanhui indicates that the Sarah head can go on the 118 cm body. Good luck, Sno!rgp3 wrote:Great choice!
