Uh oh, so the orifice is supposed to be sealed at arrival? Looks like the customs had been a bit frisky in my case then.

By the way, was the pictures in this post all the accessories you got? viewtopic.php?p=1343022#p1343022
Mine has a hook for vertical storage, and longer tubing for cleaning. But it did not have a comb. A bit strange that the accessories would vary.

Yeah I didn’t even get the little Sanhui paper guide they showed in forums before. No additional items. I have heard others got storage hooks... what style of connector is the head on yours Floydpink?

Looks like the same as yours, non-threaded with a little ball bearing. However the storage hook is different, it's threaded. But both work on the adapter on the body.

I noticed a hex (bolt?) on the bottom of a foot is loose, but it is adhered to the silicon skin so I decided to keep the waterproof integrity over skelital precision and let it be.

Very practical and cozy outfit, but she still looks cute in it!

For the foot bolt, I think if you find the right tool you can tighten it, and then if it causes any issue with the silicone around it, you can easily repair with silicone glue. Permatex flowable silicone takes 24 hours to cure but is nice in that it "flows" into small cracks before hardening. This would re-establish a waterproof seal.

My reseller told me that moving eyes were not available on this head, but I realized quite by accident that I do have posable eyes. So my initial complaint about eye placement is not valid~

I have heard people complain about Sanhui flexibility in the past. I have been pretty happy with the skeleton and have been surprised by joint movements... I just need to remember to take a few posed snapshots to demonstrate... in the meanwhile...

Sanhui's latest dolls have ball joints, which lends good flexibility but also better durability than their previous skeletons. I have noticed some loosening, but not too much. Hopefully they will hold up well!

I remember people complaining about the noise from the neck joint... I noticed my bed was a little squeaky... then I remembered I had a foam mattress... not loud, but the neck can still make a lil noise.

Been playing Girls’ Frontline on iOS... I felt immediate familiarity with this character.

I do have many more comments and pictures coming... just that my actual unwell girl is recovering from surgery so she is always home for at least another week or three.

SO NICE.

I remember when I unwrapped my first doll and saw her chest unveiled from the foam.
My heart was pounding.

Its a magical moment that I think the owners should talk more about.
