Shipment information sent to FedEx
"Being inspected by a Government Agency".
However, her head #5 arrived unannounced last Monday.
I opened the box and wondered who had very kindly sent a head to me. It didn't ring a bell. I looked underneath to find the standard sort of M16 thread but didn't recognise the casting at the base of her head.
Then . . . and only then . . . did it dawn on me that this was a silicone head and that I wasn't handling TPE! Yes - these dolls are that soft. The quality of the silicone is absolutely superb and makes TPE dolls for all their assumed better tactile experience . . . irrelevant.
David tells me that Z-One dolls are now this soft too, made of the same material. A couple of years ago I reviewed a Z-One doll and commented upon them getting the anatomy right - as we see above in the photos in this thread - but made comments about the softness. Z-One and now Sino-Doll took my comments and advice to heart and have dared to send me this lady to see if she can seduce me - knowing full well that as the Sultan in Arabian nights, I'm very willing to be rude to ladies who displease me and order them to be beheaded.
The trouble is that Customs have at least temporarily beheaded this lady and from the head received as from Salome, the indications are that this lady is likely to be extremely good and I'm looking forward to her head being reunited with her body.
Sending heads separately isn't the norm - it's just that I'm going to be doing portraits and only two heads will fit in the box so I had to pay extra for the separate shipping of the third head which won't fit in.
I'd normally post the factory photos but I don't think they're very complimentary - and #5 who made the journey is very much more beautiful than the factory pics. From her I believe that the photos in these threads
are likely to be nearer to what one can expect in real life than . . .
These are wide angle photos in a bad light and is not at all as good as the face in real life.
The real character sculpture, the proper anatomical detail and the softness of the silicone make the TPE competition irrelevant.
I'm advised that she's likely to be detained for questioning by customs for a week to ten days.
This is good reason to buy through reputable vendors who have numbers of dolls shipped in batches as I'm told customs are more likely to wave through business shipments than individual items to private individuals.
Best wishes
