Well, what can I say? Every good thing you've read here about DS dolls is true.
First, customer service was outstanding. John was very helpful as many others have already stated. Very smooth process start to finish. Paid 1/3 down to get the process started, paid the rest when the doll was ready to ship. John advised when she started production, when she was completed, with photos; when she was shipped and tracking numbers for both in China and after.
Grade: A
The packaging of the doll was outstanding. The cardboard box was very study, with foam inside and a removable foam piece covering the doll. She was wrapped securely in a sleeping bag, with hands wrapped to avoid finger damage. The head as well was wrapped in foam and very secure. She arrived in tact with no damage.
Grade: A
The doll itself is exquisite -
Skin: The skin is soft to the touch. I have never owned a TPE doll to compare, but this doll is very soft compared to the larger silicone dolls that I have handled. Her skin is similar in feel to the Aiko, which is softer but less human-like, if that makes sense. Her breasts are a handful, soft and fun to squeeze. Butt is a bit on the firm side compared to the breasts but still very enjoyable. The yellow skin color is, well,
yellow, and in person it is -
yellow. In hindsight I think I might have preferred ordering pink, but I may have wished for yellow had I seen pink first instead.
Joints: I am very happy I ordered the loose joints. They are easy to move, and in my opinion moving her arms and legs is intuitive, like you would a person. They do have stops to prevent moving too far, and with the loose joints its very easy to notice when this happens.
Weight: I find her weight very manageable. She is easy to cradle carry, to pick up from the floor, to transfer to and from wheelchair to bed / furniture and vice versa. She is of course not as light weight as a TB or Dekunoboo, but I have had no real difficulties in moving her from place to place.
Fingers: Hard to describe. They are not 'floppy', but they are not rigid either. They are very easy to position and they remain in place, but they are not rigid either. They do not appear to have points at the end, which will avoid finger pokes.
Feet:As most are aware, the DS dolls toes are webbed and stuck together, with the only separate between the big toe and the second. However they're very cute, squeezable and fun to move, and they seem quite realistic unless viewed up close.
Head: What can I say, the Kayla head is beautiful. Her eyes are very expressive. The eyelashes appear to be well secured and unlikely to wear or come off if any reasonable care is given. Her tongue is quite cute and easy to move and to pose. Of course this is not an oral head and will not be used that way. Tongue is for expressing her opinions only.
Grade: A
I ordered an extra insert, got one free, so she arrived with three inserts. The DS insert is top notch. I have used a variety of toys including Fleshlights, Doc Johnson URs, Lilith Uterus, and a couple others that were so bad I don't remember their names. Not to mention experiencing the feel of Aiko and Ruby 13. I have to say the only one to give the DS insert any real competition is the Lilith Uterus, which is probably still my favorite. She is not too heavy to move around in the middle of play time, although again not as convenient as a plush babe. We haven't done anything too extravagant so I can't report on cowgirls, reverse cowgirls, hanging upside down from a chandelier, etc. But it was nevertheless quite good.The only disconcerting thing about play time is that when her legs are spread to far there is a large gap all around the insert. I was concerned that this might lead to tearing but I inspected very closely after the couple of times of playing with her and everything seems fine. Very sturdy in my opinion. I've investigated the mesh inside the opening, which others have mentioned, and haven't noticed anything that is cause for concern. Because of the gap around the insert, I might have grade sex with the DS at A-, but the feel of the insert and over all quality of the insert and the opening boosts the grade back to an A.
Grade: A
All in all I am very satisfied with Doll Sweet. Fantastic doll and worth the price, particularly compared to other dolls of similar size. My only concern is that I may be to used to my plush babes and their ease of moving, dressing, playing and so on. We shall see.
