Anya needs a little practice on her T2 time, but wants to look good doing it. For those that don't know much about triathlons, T2 is changing from cycling to running gear. T stands for transition.

Anya's T2 time could be faster if she wouldn't constantly look into the sports reporter's camera. :D

If you went out cycling with your two lycra clad babes you'd never be able to keep your eyes on the road!! :lol:
Thanks Djc,

Funny, the set I did of Anya wearing the white floral dress posing on the Miata with the lake in the background. This is a popular cyclist starting point of rides. While i was photographing her, a cyclist had just finished his ride and was watching the shoot. He drives off and I hear something fall. Well, he was so preoccupied watching Anya, He forgot to put his bike in his car. It was just leaning against it. He was about 100 meters down the road before he realized it. I went to go pick up his bike as he returned. Impressive bike under 7 kilo, BMC bike all black. Nice. He was a bit embarrassed.
That's a great story Panther68! :thumbs_up:
I can just imagine that happening too. I bet it happens more times than you know. :D

Anya and Anastasia all dressed up in Lululemon ready to hit the road at sunrise for a photo shoot. Where? Who knows. Depends on the weather. Stay tuned.....

Great story with Anya and the cyclist, LOL. She looks great with your choice of outfits (I know they are from your lady friend), you have an eye for putting a great outfit together. These dolls are definitely attention magnets, I know from my run-ins people can get over how real they look.

Thanks Terabyte, was shooting both of them this morning on a observation deck overlooking the mountains out to the Pacific Ocean. One guy shows up. Just sits a couple of yards away, eating his breakfast before his hike. No questions, no photos, it was as if we weren't even there. You would think that you see a guy dressed in slacks, dress shirt and shoes taking photos of two life size dolls out in the woods, you might have a couple of questions. Go figure...... :?

Yet another wet foggy morning, so we went above it. Silicon Valley Vista Point.

Epic sunrise photos :!:


I can only imagine one way to improve this photo:
Anastasia and Anya holding each other arm in arm.
Mara (Dreamdoll Tania) - holiday trip (outdoor photos) and introduction
Lucia (Passiondolls 160cm Muscle Doll) - introduction and photos
Keira (Phicen Arhian Pirate) - outdoor adventures

Thanks Tsall, I'll keep that in mind, next time. I can't believe how hot it is at the summit. 21C at 6:00 am according to the temperature gauge in my car.

Another beautiful sunrise photoset. :thumbs_up:
I love the way the girls are sitting together on the blanket with the clouds/mist below and the orange Sun just coming up above the horizon.
Simply stunning. :D
I agree with Tsall, the only way these could be improved would be if the girls were closer together, maybe holding hands or if one girl had her head on the other girls shoulder?
In any case, they're great photos and you do these very well. :D

Really nice sets here man! But gotta say I prefer the facial look Anastacia too; she looks way 'realer' to me than the SY doll head. Crazy about the measurements, like the 171 torso being like 10cm less, but okay good they changed it that fast! Was wondering about her nipples and feet tho (the pins/bolts). Seen some SY pics of their site which did not look so good to me (like very big nipples and long scews)...what's your opinion on those? Got maybe any pics, mostly out of curiosity.

Thanks for the reply Avante, agreed that Anastasia has a more realistic face. WM really has market on most realistic faces. My SY can still trick a lot of people at first glance, but when both Anya and Anastasia stand together the difference is obvious. Don't get me wrong I do like Anya's face but it is not quite as "Real" looking.

Agreed, after I informed them about the measurements being incorrect, there update of the SY 171 was quite a difference. I like the way there new 169 looks but they have yet to list anything more than just B/W/H, but viewing the video, it looks like she has some meat on her bones. Anya is a twig. She doesn't fill a pair of jeans like Anastasia WM 168E old version, but I think she is smokin' hot in our bikini shoots.

As for the foot bolts, yes, they are longer, but unlike my WM, I can free stand the SY. The longer bolts do make it more difficult for me to have her stand in high heels but flats and knee high boots have not been a problem.

Have not heard of any issues about her nipples, I think they look great, though I wish that I requested hollow vs. solid. That's fine. the two dolls make a great comparison between solid and hollow. The make up on the nipples and lips, I don't really care for, so I just removed it and I am using CrazyCajun's Body Color, may he rest in peace.

Below are some pics. Heck, I haven't even done a formal review yet. You may have just motivated me to crank one out this evening.

Have you ever thought about replacing the bolts?
I have several bolts with several lengths and different heads for different purposes.
My TPE doll is neither WM, nor SY. But as far as I know, all manufacturers use metric bolts.
Removing the bolt is easy, inserting a new one is a bit tricky.

Hey Panther68, thank you very much for your informative insights. Much appreciated ;)
You said "old version of WM 168 E". Can you please point the differences between old and new? :)

Hey Tsall, though myself and all others reviewing SY dolls have made the comments about the bolts being longer than most other brands. It doesn't bother me. Because of the longer bolts, the wear and tear on the bottom of her feet is so much less than Anastasia's feet. I have a set of MannequinFan bolt covers, so I may take your advice and eventually change them out. The covers are made for M6 bolts, which these are not.

Hi Fullhouse, depending on whether you get the shrugging shoulders or not. The older version has more of a classic hour glass figure of 36-24-36, while the newer version more like 34-24-33 with skinnier legs. If you go down to my signature and click on the Anastasia outdoor photo link, the end of page 41 thru 43, there is a discussion and photos of the difference of the two versions with input from Zippy81, Dr. Dollinger and Boobman. Also, Zippy and myself provide the actual measurements of our 2 dolls.
