Teddy Babe lips
Also if anyone can post a close up picture of the face of a deluxe Lisa, it would be extremely helpful for comparison purposes.

I feel much better now that I've given up hope.

Re: Teddy Babe lips
I'm thinking the c-pap mask may have been the cause as she was made in early 2016 and I wouldn't think any deterioration would occur that quickly.

Re: Teddy Babe lips
Fortunately, Eighth Wonder is pretty good about sending out replacements, but you have to take the old ones off yourself and affix the new ones... with superglue. And the damage the superglue does to the plush leaves permanent scars.
In my case, the first time it happened was about 18 months in. The lips were so badly deteriorated -- puffy, sticky, and dull -- that they almost came off on their own. Teddy Babes are just naturally so kissable that I couldn't leave my babe Jayna without any lips whatsoever while I awaited the new ones coming in the mail, so much so that I got a little crafty and made her some temporary lips out of burgundy-colored felt:
But nowadays she's on her third or fourth pair of replacement latex lips, I can't even remember; but I'm getting out of this sad cycle. When these lips go, and it won't be long, I will try to craft a more lasting kind out of silicone, following Karrot's method.

That's the thing. When you find yourself face to face with one of these cuties resistance is futile! They are GOING to be kissed!Zang wrote: Teddy Babes are just naturally so kissable
I guess I was a little freaked out when I saw that there was a piece missing from Lexy's lips. Although it's not very big, I guess the fact that I'm so attached to her made it look worse than it really was.
I'm sure that I can come up with something to fill it in, but it got me to thinking that I will definitely have to look into new lips at some point.
I was also concerned that since the standard Babes are no longer available, then the lips for them wouldn't be available either.
But then I got an idea. What if the lips from a deluxe model could be used?
Considering that Lexy's lips looked a little wider than her older sister, I began to wonder if Eighth Wonder was using the same lips for both the deluxe and standard Babes? (Or rather the standard Babes made in 2016-17)
If that's the case, then I won't have any problems as long as Eighth Wonder is still around and making Teddy Babes.
I suppose if I had to do so, I could make some replacement lips like others here have done. It's just that I like what she has now and don't want to do anything different unless I had no other choice.

Re: Teddy Babe lips
I might consider that when the time comes. The silicone lips may be better anyway as they should remain soft and not harden like the stock latex lips.carlys_guy wrote:contact samara78 she made silicone lips for her girl and said she may be willing to sell them to other members.

You ripped your lips off? That must have been painful!Juncharted2 wrote: I would assume they use the same lips. Can't be 100% , I ripped mine off so...
Sorry I couldn't resist!
But it would be great if they were indeed the same for both the standard and deluxe Babes. I always assumed that they were different. But maybe not.
