ZELEX Launches New EXP Skeleton

[ArcanePath]

Thanks for the update. I told someone at IT about their joints going loose over time with their models and why they don't just either put Locktite on the nuts or double nut them. It's the most simple way of stopping this from happening and a disgrace that they would sell these things with such an oversight. He said he'd pass on my comments to the factory, but if they need to be told this sort of thing, I don't hold much hope. Still waiting for final tracking info and it's been well over 2 months now since I ordered.

Quick durability update on the EXP skeleton:

This thing is wearing like iron. The joints are nice and tight, the ball joints on the neck and wrists are as wonderful today as they were the first week. And there is SO MUCH more expression available from the additional subtle motions this skeleton makes possible.
I was kind and gentle in the beginning because she is so breath-takingly beautiful, but when spent time in my bed as an active partner, we'll, sometimes I wasn't so gentle.
This skeleton, and the doll as a whole, has performed wonderfully. I am impressed with my EXP Zelex, and am confident that this is the best, most robust, most well designed skeleton I have owned, or worked on.

Good job Zelex.

Good to hear RevJack, thanks for keeping us updated. I am having my eyes on the SLE serie and I am really tempted. Just wishing that Zelex will come with shprter model on that serie jn the 150 range. I am bit tired of doll in the 80 pounds range.

How does the back of the knee and elbows held? You mentionned it few months back.

The back of the knee has the same limitations as other silicone dolls. The silicone has to be thick enough to be molded and robust, but it can't be as thin as actual skin, so there is some "piling up" when accutely bent.
It's better than some, but on par for top-of-the-line silicone dolls.

Welcome to TDF and ZELEX world. Mordak388.

This is my SLE 172E, she has no issues doing this. Please do not leave her like this for days though.

I have put one of mine into a pose much like that one you are asking about..
I would not bend her too much more then you see in that picture..
Often the joints have metal stoppers that stop the joints from rotating past a natural
distance..
Besides too much twisting pulls on the silicone and if you went further then that you could take risk
of causing rips and stuff from too much stress.

Zelex has tested there dolls quite a bit and id say there skeletons probably bend to a very close limitation
of a normal human and give a nice natural looking pose..

Take note that often brand new dolls can be quite stiff and it might take a bit of time to warm up to her .
