Shanghai 2019 AS161 Model found a home
first thanks to AS Doll for that great opportunity and Jo for making all that work and the nice communication.
It was a very spontaneous buy for me. I had the AS161 on my watch list, cause of the more realistic waistline and figure.
Having this beauty standing in front of me I was quite impressed and enthusiastic. I am surprised which effect her presence had. The figure of the doll makes me see her less than a doll and does blur the line of doll and humanlike beauty to me. IDK how to better describe it.
Sadly something went wrong when I wanted to transfer the photos from the unpacking to my computer so I can just tell a bit about it.
AS Doll was very kind to send all the clothes the doll wore on the expo with her. And she has footplates under her feet as well. I very strongly assume that this is a special configuration for the Expo which can be pretty helpful.
The package was send via UPS, there was no customs hassle for me. (EU europe.) UPS was pretty reliable too. They phoned if I was at home and since I was not we scheduled the delivery for the next day, I even got a 2 hours time window which they sticked too.
The packaging is rather good, the neck did push through the cartonage despite there being a big foam part to protect the neck. I have to assume it fell on that side or it happened something else like that. The neck does not seem to have taken functional damage so the packaging did preserve the doll from harm. The feet were packed in extra foam pieces, the hands and arms got an extra foam layer for protection like you probably have seen if you had got a doll yourself. The doll was in a plastic bag plus there were a blanket under and over her. Her legs were fixated with a foam piece that went from one side to the other side of the carton to prevent that the doll can move in the package. So I think it was overall a decent job, after all the doll arrived me safely even though there must have been some transport mistreatment.
What else can I say than I am really happy with the doll and tend to like to explore her curves with my hands. In fact it is tough to not do it when I have nothing else to do.
Sorry, my photo has a bit too much light even though I shut the blinders. But even that can not hide that she is an adorable beauty.
Finally my first impressions about the feel. The TPE is squishy soft. The wig is silky smooth. The joints are consistent and good to move. They are rather easy to move but with no issue so far. Standing or holding poses is no issue at all.
She is not a lightweight for sure, but anyway I am surprised and happy how good she is to move and pose with her weight.

Re: Shanghai 2019 AS161 Model found a home
And thanks Maviarab. I saw your thread for your AS doll. And I really hope the doll is not stuck in some customs mish mash. My doll was already on her way a couple days when you posted your thread with the factory photos. Plus she was really fast. I expected the doll actually next week. So, fingers crossed.

Annie May and Annabella, my AS dolls are happy to see their AS sister at her new home. Yes, the 161 TPE is nice and soft. She is a beauty.

Re: Shanghai 2019 AS161 Model found a home
my first update. Sorry for being lazy with uploading pictures, I do not have a too comfortable workflow to transfer photos.
It has to be said, this doll is really juicy.
But this time I mean, that it was still recognizably leeching oil in the first week. AS posted an update though that they have improved their TPE, so you might not have another experience about leeching if you buy a new doll now.
There are not yet glamour shots I am able to serve and I rather show you the measurements of my particular doll.
Panther has already measured his doll, but I still wanted to check before going shopping. With her having such a curvy body I am hopeful to get some nice fitting clothes. According to Jo from AS Doll the right size for her is S. Checking out online shops and referencing the sizing guides with my personal taken measurements it does fit usually. If you have a doll with more unrealistic measurements you might have to be creative with clothes anyway, but with a doll like the AS161 it really does pay off to measure her so you can look up for clothes.
I followed some tutorial about where and what to measure and took a photo so... well, I would not have to write down. Or just to show you.
BTW it is anything but easy to take a photo with one hand while holding some measuring tape in the other.
Her height is 156cm. She was standing in platform sneakers with a 3cm sole. Bust is soft 84cm. Underbust is 68cm. Waist is 61cm. Hips are 95+cm. Shoulder is 31+cm. Arm is 48cm. Outer leg is 93cm. I would have liked to show the tape in the whole length but it was just impossible holding the tape on and having the phone far enough to cover all the length. I found it tough to find the "hip bone" since a doll does not have this. So depending on at which point of her hips you wanna declare the right place to measure from can make the leg longer or shorter for you. Inner leg is 78cm.
Sorry, no photo here. This was just not possible for me to snap. I actually needed to hold the tape on both sides to get a measurement.
Her thigh has 52cm circumference. Something that was not on the measuring guide but still people on a doll forum want to know this for some reason, the fabled MTV is about 65cm. And as a goodie for everyone looking at these photos.

Re: Shanghai 2019 AS161 Model found a home
I haven't had any leeching issues, but I also purchased her second hand. I believe TS got her November of last year. I have yet to oil her or powder her. Only have used baby wipes. Her skin is still silky smooth, so I am assuming that she is a no powder doll. Her TPE is definitely different than my AS 168 doll. It is smoother and softer. My 168 I got from AS as one of their photography dolls back at the beginning of the year. I just love her face. Such the Candice Swanepoel or Miranda Kerr look.
Re: Shanghai 2019 AS161 Model found a home
I think she has just an ultra cute face. Just look at that picture I measure her bust. How adorable she glances at one.
I am happy with the being a bit on the chubby side. I think these are measurements of a real beautiful figured woman. For me she could be taller, sure, but hey, it is not the dolls fault I am about 190cm.

"Actually, they were useless, I did not post them at all."
"Yeah, I was really sad, but what can we do, it happened, we have to move on."
