Re: Gwendolyn Oliveira
But in reality I'd be concerned if I could handle the weight, lol! Still, maybe I'd find a way, give how remarkable she seems. Can you tell me how to find that model, and that head, particularly, on the HR site? I don't see a 161 I-cup. And that head is gorgeous. Your choice of that wig was a stroke of genius too.
And another question if you would be so kind: how do you find she is holding up now? At the beginning you were concerned about the ankle...?
Thanks,

Re: Gwendolyn Oliveira
Hey man! Thanks for the comments. Gwen is never very far off of my radar, I've got plenty of dolls at the moment, but I never stop toying with the idea of bringing her back.SimonSays7 wrote:Hello, setevoltas, thanks for your amazing photos and details on Gwendolyn, she is a stunning fantasy in every way.

To your points in order:
1. This doll is heavy, but not the heaviest. My guess is that she was about 42-43 kg. Having hauled around some 50kg+ sexy beasts since, I look back at her weight as pretty manageable.
2. Your guess is as good as mine what the story is with HR and this doll. When I ordered her in early 2019, I went through a non-TDF vendor who claimed to have experience working with HR. Very nice guy who I had many good conversations with, but he has disappeared since Covid hit. Having ordered a second doll from HR (their 165), I can confirm that the TPE is identical to Gwen's, so I'm reasonably sure Gwen was a legitimate HR doll. Soft, very jiggly, with kind of a strange "grainy" quality to it. HR TPE is very different from the Jinsan, Irontech, and JY blends I've had in other dolls.
About a year ago, I asked their Sales rep whether the 161 I cup was still available and got mixed signals. They said something about the mold being cracked, then later implied that they had fixed the mold and I could place an order. I have since found the 161 I cup listed on Alibaba, but with a different head.
3. Gwen definitely had an iffy skeleton. I say "had" because the back joint broke and I gave her away not long after. It might have held if I had stopped trying to move it. I think it had been overly tightened at the factory. The ankle wasn't a big deal, but it was the first sign something wasn't 100% "right" with the frame. The frame I got with my 165 has basically been bulletproof, joints move smoothly, great for posing.
So yeah, if you get in touch with HR about the 161 I cup and get some clarification, by all means let me know. They have released some lovely dolls this year, but I'd probably order another one of these again because for me, it's an almost perfect body, and I still can't see Gwen on anything else.

Re: Gwendolyn Oliveira
I can't see the Gwen head on any of the HR dolls on their site, but then it's hard to tell.
This 162 seems somewhat similar in body type, but it's still no Gwen! Also a lovely face, but not quite... Gwen. ha.

Re: Gwendolyn Oliveira
I've looked hard at the HR 162 body and tried to convince myself it's the same doll but... it's pretty but just not Gwen's is it?SimonSays7 wrote:Thanks, greatly appreciated, Sete.

I guess I should have used a bigger rope.

Re: Gwendolyn Oliveira
So, is a newly-made Gwen, or repaired?
One of my fave dolls ever.

Re: Gwendolyn Oliveira
We have Gwen's original face with a little bit of a mystery new body, definitely 6YE. Little bit smaller up top, little bit thicker bottom half. Got it awhile back on a member sale.SimonSays7 wrote: ↑Mon Sep 18, 2023 7:20 am Congrats, Setevoltas!

Since Gwen is a total diva we only get the sneak peak for the moment. Bear with her.
"You know I read everything on here right Sete?"
Sigh... yes...
