Newbie introduction
on the bay I was scammed but the bays money back policy got me out of that expensive mistake. Second time I did my due diligence on seller and doll and can truly say that I could not be happier with my choice. I really did not know much when I had the winning bid of 480.00 for what I now think (from info on this site) is a NW doll 140 cm. Sabrina or clone. I can`t wait to be able to post pics as she is absolutely beautiful and with all the things I am learning on this site I can keep her beautiful. The instruction sheet that was in the box is from a company called Rifrano and the nearest thing to a model number on the box is PaXG2sAO5JN. The website is only semi working so I can`t find the Sabrina there. Julia looks exactly like the Sabrina doll purchased on Amazon and reviewed here by a member except 140 cm and her face is the exact one in the pics on Amazon with the long dark red hair parted on the left and big brown eyes. I like my redheads with green eyes so I purchased a set of green and a set of blue eyes for her immediately. Had some cleaning issues that led me to this great resource of information and solved the problem and got my Julia back in the "pink" in no time. Looking forward to trying many of the things posted here on makeup, clothing and hair to make my sweetie even more beautiful. Thanks again for this great wealth of information.

Re: Newbie introduction
Rifrano are among the naughty boys making fakes of the WM140 but it's at least good to know they starting to make ones of better quality.

Hi Bill
I know the dollforum.yes,it looks like there are some negative comments of our brand.
To be honest,our factory is really making some popular dolls in the market at beginning.but we also have strict quality control of our product.
And now we have our own R&D team,also attended the AVN adult show in LasVegas .
And also have developed some new design with USA clients.now our brand Rifrano is becoming more and more famous.
In a word,our factory have all popular dolls in the market ,and the same quality with WM,but with more competitive price.
So that’s all.and if have any other problem,just contact me

Re: Newbie introduction
Read between the lines and they admit what they did in the past. Good that now they have their own R&D rather than merely purloin designs from others. . . .harvey48 wrote: Hi Bill

However, it's great that they might now be improving quality and not giving dolls a bad name.

Re: Newbie introduction
I'm delighted (and frankly unsurprised) to hear so many people talk positively about doll ownership, since from what I've seen so far they appear insanely realistic! I'm mostly delighted with the list of approved vendors, since the risk of falling victim to a scam would be the obvious barrier to purchase given the price.
Thanks to this forum it seems I can go about research and eventual ownership with (relative) peace of mind!

Now that we have a cleaning and maintenance routine down she is looking wonderful. As I get to know her better and figure out what she likes (as in moving her joints and posing her with the least resistance to avoid stress or breakage) we are getting along famously. Only issue so far is a broken finger wire, ironically it is "The Finger" and in some of my posted pics she is giving it to me so in a way I think its kind of funny. I have been checking the threads here about repairs and think I will give it a try. Because of where the finger wire is broken I am pretty sure I can fix it while doing minimal harm. Thanks to all who post helpful info from myself and Julia.
Oh No! Another one!! Don't feel bad no matter the brand (from China) all fingers are crap from what I have seen, well, perhaps some may be ok. But no matter how careful you are, one by one they will go.
on a good note, there have been many successful repairs made replacing the substandard factory garbage with nice quality wires.
Also, Welcome to TDF neighbor! I'm a fair bit north of ya I been Round Here since about the middle of Feb. I got mine March 22.
You will find or by looking at your post count have found, a lot of good folks here. very helpful and willing to offer advice on a wide range of subjects (including dolls and repairs)
Take it easy!

Rifrano from what I've read, their exports are 30% to North America. I read this on a company profiling site, not Rifrano itself. Other info on them dating back last year stated they had been written up for Air quality or something along those lines.harvey48 wrote:Hi got this reply back from Rifrano.

Now here is my own opinion:
They may make dolls that appear to be WM fakes. Just because they look similar. Does that mean their fakes? Yep. it's these sellers that use WM photos...
That is something I really do not understand. It'd take them very little time to model what they are actually selling. It would give them more legitimacy.
All the various sellers on Aliexpress will list the same doll with the same WM pics, but when they list manufacturer, that all differs.
IF my doll is Rifrano, which my Ali seller stated, then this person "Dabo" is not being completely honest.
The quality is not the same as WM. We can prove that just by showing the way the hands/wrists are made. WM has a hinged joint. My Rifrano does not.
She looks similar to WM, but not completely.
I will say, the TPE quality is quite good with this "Rifrano". The skeleton as most owners of many types of dolls will agree , do need improvements.
Oh the tangled web that is woven.....

Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.
