She looks absolutely gorgeous! But I am wondering.. how are her fingers? Is it stronger than the wires found in WM Dolls? I understand silicone dolls are generally harder than TPE but I've seen several threads around here now about how easy fingers seem to break.. :O

hi there eugeneisatard,

I've had experience of both Sanhui and TPE dolls. I can say that the fingers in the Sanhui was a bit more substantial than the TPE doll, but then it could be that was down to the particular models/sizes of dolls I had at the time, less than a year ago.

How you look after a doll, especially with posing and for 'playtime', is a bigger factor in the lifespan of dolls parts.

Congratulations! That's a superlative doll you have there! And BEAUTIFUL!! I have a few questions for you if you don't mind:

1. What is her actual shoe size? The site said US 6 or a bit larger.. So a 6 wide or something? And does she do better with one size of heals and another in flats, etc..?

2. What size(s) of cloths do you buy for her?

3. Did her bottom soften up after having her a little while? (I've read about other doll's bottoms flattening in the shipping process, but plumping out over time - though they where TPE.)

4. Did you communicate with anyone from Sanhui a lot before ordering? If so, did you feel like they where willing to go the extra mile for you for customizations?

Thanks! And again, contratulations!

great pictures, my favorite face from Sanhui, like others wish it was available on their smaller body, or future sculpts going in this style perhaps.

I would love to see the mouth from a straight on head shot or even showing the teeth. Does the mouth open, is there a tonque? Are the teeth quite visible in natural pose?
Many thanks, Jazz

Just to tag in, most of Sanhui's doll heads for the 156 and up models have teeth and a tongue, including Marya's head (aka Starriver's doll). The one's that don't have teeth and a movable tongue at these sizes are Amelia and Svetlana.

Thanks, I had seen one of the dolls -not this face - showing teeth and they looked quite translucent, almost like you could see through them..so wondering if they made their new teeth thicker and whiter?

Wow the detail of the face is amazing. I noticed in the closeups that the eyebrows have a texture to them to mimic hair. The eyes overall are just fantastic, and I say great choice in the eye color!

@Jazzman

I'd say they're pretty thick and white! If you haven't seen this video yet, towards the end he does start to talk about the mouth/head, and you can see some video of the teeth a little closer.

@jazzman

Oh, and also, this 160cm review, other than showing of this doll in an amazing photo session, does also provide a close up of the teeth/tongue as well. Look through their photos for some good perspective.

She's personally a scratch on the young looking side for me - but she is a BEAUTIFUL doll.
So much care went into the sculpt.

Congrats!
