Textured Skin - Does anyone own a SH-156?

[MannyCan]

I was considering the SH-156 because of the textured skin option. But there are very few pictures of the SH-156 out there.

Does anyone have any that they can post (outside of the ones already on the Sanhui website)?

Also - if anyone has a SH-165 with textured skin, can you post whether you think its worth it? If not, I'd stick with the SH-160. But for some reason there is no textured skin option for the SH-160.

Thanks folks,
MannyCan

In my opinion: yes, definitely. It's a subtle effect, but in direct comparison with any other silicone doll it's just superb. If you don't have any other doll: not neccessarily, you might not notice the difference.

Thank you so much for that!

I wish they offered the textured skin for SH160. For photography and video that seems like it would be a significant improvement in realism.

Recently purchased a 156 Amelia from Sanhui, with the textured skin, and in my opinion it does make the doll much more realistic in appearance and feel. Was one of the main selling points for me and really glad I settled on her. Sadly, not a lot of pictures will do the skin texturing justice as it is rather subtle, but may be someone could do a side by side comparison with a non textured doll.

Hey MutantOne! So you ordered the same doll as me! Have you received her yet???

[MutantOne]

Yes, Forb, I received her last Monday. Still have to make an intro thread for her, and my phone's camera is not doing her justice with the unboxing pics I took. Went through Sanhui directly with their valentines sale, and she arrived way faster then I was expecting. Something like 3 weeks from initial order to delivery. Mental. Next time (assuming there is a next time) I may go through a vendor like George, but no real regrets so far. But, so far Alicia and I are enjoying each others company. Since it is my first doll of this type, was a little thrown by her weight, but getting a better handle on it. Just have to plan out her moves before shifting her around, otherwise I may pull something.
Anyway, best wishes and I hope your little angel arrives soon.

[Forb]

That is so awesome! She looks fantastic MutantOne. So does she have teeth/tongue? Oh, is that the Amilia face?
I've been expecting the weight to be an issue and planning out moves to be important.
Really looking forward to Alicia's introduction thread!

Textured skin is a very nice feature. I have felt this on RealDolls, but I haven't been introduced to a Sanhui lady before. It's likely only a matter of time before Sanhui offers this on all models. You can always ask them directly if that is their plan!

I received [my doll] last Monday. Still have to make an intro thread for her, and my phone's camera is not doing her justice with the unboxing pics I took.

Congrats, Mutant! She looks like a charmer even in your camera phone pic.

Congratulations on your purchase MannyCan !
I hope you will soon give an Report of your purchase with photos.

Thanks Forb, and thank you LaDollyVita. Alicia is getting to be a diva with all this attention Perhaps I'll start getting my pics together and working on that intro.

The body is Amelia, the face is an Adeline, which does have teeth and tongue. Its a nice aesthetic feature, although I had a mini heart attack when I removed the tongue for the first time. lol. It's not attached to the mouth, which makes sense for cleanup or whatnot. As for the weight, 60lbs does not sound too bad but dead weight is hard to deal with. I find positioning the back to be the most tricky part, as she is still stiff there. But the rest of her joints loosened up nicely. May be its my apt, or the weather (cold and dry), but Ali gets quite statically charged. Anyone know a good solution for that?

I believe there was a roadmap thread for Sanhui here, one that lists out their plans for the future and getting client feedback. I would love to see more of these textured dolls, it's really fantastic to look at and touch. Makes a lot of difference to flat plastic

I ordered a SH160. Going to receive it tomorrow. Can't wait. First doll ever. Will post a review.

[Forb]

Thanks Mutant.

Awesome noiseb1! and welcome to the forum. What face did you order?

I have to ask both of you, did you get the thick skin option on the 156?

[MutantOne]

Congrats noiseb1, she should be home any minute now

Forb, I didn't go with the thick skin option (didn't even know that was a thing). What other options did you guys go for?

[LaDollyVita]

May be its my apt, or the weather (cold and dry), but Ali gets quite statically charged. Anyone know a good solution for that?

Mutant - This is a great question to start a new thread for. You'll get much better response that way!

[MutantOne]

Good idea, LaDollyVita, thanks for the heads up.
