I have thought about buying a doll for awhile now since my wife passed away, abut after looking at several websites I found one I like. S0, now I have my sights set on Esme The green skin and fantasy feel just adds to her charm i think. As a first time buyer im still uncertain what buying a doll and care for them entail, So anyone bought this particular doll before, or have any advice for a newbie please feel free to give me advice

Whenever I look up dolls, I check this site (already selected the YL model you have in mind):
https://www.thesilverdoll.com/product/y ... -sex-doll/

There you normally find the full photoset - i.e. on the YL homepage most of the time you only have selected images.

Next, with a height of 118cm I would search the forum if your country might have issues at customs when importing such a short doll.
If that's no problem - as it's your first doll - next get an idea of 30kg "dead weight". You might be surprised how heavy a doll can be. For sure, 30kg is definitely on the lower range - but anyways, try out with a similar thing that doesn't "help/support" you when you move it around.
If all those facts are passed successfully, I wouldn't worry that much any longer, get in contact with your vendor of choice (or Eric from YL Doll, which I recommend) and order the doll. To withstand the waiting time, buy some nice clothes/wigs (e.g. K'ryssma) and once she arrives have an awesome time

I live in America so I don't believe the size will be an issue, I do have back issues so the weight does worry me, but as you said she is on the lower range. My biggest worry was finding a reliable vendor since hearing of several horror stories. How would I find this Eric to reach out too?

Great about the country and weight - go start looking for hot clothes

Either by the chat function on the YL Doll homepage or if you send a PM here to user "YL Doll" - Eric is the manager of YL Doll

i can see where this could become a very expensive habit, just on getting her cloths

Yes, specifically since buying clothes is a big try out. I would recommend to buy only a few parts before the doll arrives (save the rest in a wishing list), once the doll arrived try them out and get a feeling about sizing.

btw, if you search for clothes, keep in mind that the more darker/colorful colors might tend to cause staining - but that's nothing specific to YL Doll, that's a general thingy. There are also lots of threads here, how to avoid and - in case it happened - how to get rid of it.

for now it will still be a few months before Ill have the funds to buy her, but once I do I have a closet full of my late wifes cloths that I can go thru, I know they've all been washes enough that the dyes wont be an issue.

the more i read on here the less certain I am, I still would like a doll, but between the horror stories of some arrivals, to the rituals of having to clean and powder the dolls, it all does sound like alot of work even with a lighter doll, I do have a torso i got from MRL right now but its hard to move or appreciate with no arms legs or head, and now i'm worried I don't even clean that well enough, or if i should be powdering it?

i just wanted some company since my wife passed away.

Don't worry. If you select a serious doll manufacturer - and YL Doll definitely is one - there's nothing to be concerned about. All my dolls I received from them have been very well packed and the dolls arrived in pristine state.
Regarding cleaning, I already wrote in this thread. If it's about the sex, go try a female condom - and you'll be one lucky man.
Powdering? Hmmm, since my little Kyra arrived one year ago I can count the amount of powderings on one hand. YL Doll's TPE formula isn't a sticky one (that's why you mainly need powdering) but soft and smooth.

And believe me, once you have your doll laying in your bed, you can't wait for the day to be finished and finally go to sleep
