Inspiration 170cm Scarlet Review !!!

[john1972]

nice Hartke cab in the background!

Ha ha thanks lol.
Not many people have noticed it..
It has ended up in many of my photo shoots in the background.
My primary instrument is electric guitar but I dabble a little with bass for bass lines in music
I record.
I manage to hardly ever get any of my stacks into any of the photos but that bass cab is right where I like to take
photos lol..

I gotta say the Hartke cabs sound fantastic

Yes they do sound good, and one of the best looking cabs for stage as well. I run mostly in ear monitoring during live shows, where I haven’t ran an amp for about two years. I’m pretty spoiled by the setup,

Anyway, your girl looks really good! I was going to comment on her, but the cab distracted me from the girl. (usually it’s the other way around)

How has the durability of your 170 Inspiration held up after 8 months? Any paint fading?

Very little to none..
The coloring is almost all into the Silicone on mine.
Maybe it is because she is the tan version I am not sure.
The bodies coloring looks pretty much the exact same as it did when I took her out
of the box.
I do see a touch of shining happening in small areas as I think there matte finish sealer
might be either rubbing off or buffing to a shine or something but powdering fixes that.
Not sure but you can see it on many others dolls as well but otherwise adding the pigments
into the silicone was for sure the best thing they could have done and I think it greatly improved
on the fading issues

I just want to join the long list of others in thanking you for your comprehensive review. This message thread (and all the info therein) was definitely what sold me on the Zelex Inspiration series, and I am now just waiting for the tracking info on my X165 to appear in my inbox.

This is very encouraging!

Hello!

It looks like a quick crude measurement of around 176 or so CMs
The measurements have been pretty darn close with the 170 to those on the
Zelex Website.

I like you doll pretty much. Recently I just ordered the same scarlet doll with movable jaws from Zelex. My question is what U.S. Cloth size will Scarlet fit into? I guess small will be but not so sure of.

Hello .
Yes most of the clothes I put on Natalie is small sized..
Bra sizes are around C Cup. I think her main bra is 32C.
Id love to see pics of your girl when she gets there

Thanks for the great review John.

There seems to be some variations of this head model.

I found a head listed as Scarlett that has the higher arched eyebrows VS the flat wavy type.
Head GE-53 Scarlett.

But between the Zelex codes and what the vendors offer who knows what you may get.
Maybe the vendors don't realize there are several models of the same head.
There is even a scaled down size for smaller bodies too.

Yes what happened was some people did not care for the pointed eye brows so Zelex released a non more standard brow type.
Then I think there is one with slight different makeup too lol.
So yeah its kinda confusing .
Also I am about to review my new 175 and she has two different heads as well.
One is the softer with moving jaw and one is the hard head with implanted hair.
Both have quite a bit different names..
I know that Zelex did post a thread here somewhere with the heads and there numbers..
People really need to pay attention to the numbers because yes there are different versions of some of the heads..

I am glad you like my review and thank you .
If you like the taller Zelex girls keep your eyes open for my next review as she is one real hottie ..

[rubherkitty]

Thanks!
Both heads are very attractive, but I prefer the high arch brows myself. Makes her look a little more wild/ seductive to me. The flatter brow make her look a little softer.
But I would kick neither out of bed!

Looking forward to your review of the 175!
