I have
never said in this context that the EVO is firmer the the DS-163, and exactly this kind of misconceptions make discussions like this pointless.
What I actually wrote was (
section 4):
Compared to my DS-163 from last year, the breasts are firmer.
So this statement
clearly applies
only to a 2017 build of the DS-163, and it is limited
only to the breasts. Since 2014 I have seen at least four different build types for the 163 with very different softness zones, so any generalizations are simply invalid. Whoever would make such generalized claims would not know what he'd be talking about. And yes, as far as DS is concerned, these material/softness changes apply to other components like the inserts, too. An "B" type insert from 2015 is
not the same as one from 2018. DS even changed the color without changing the type name.
Also noteworthy is that my Evo is from mid of 2018, and it is pretty likely that there were one or multiple Evo builds in the meantime, too.
To make meaningful comparisons, you need as well timestamp the dolls as to have both dolls side by side at the same time, or you would need to rely on your haptic memory which usually is not very accurate. Or to phrase it differently, you would otherwise end up with nonsense haiku statements like 'the DS-163 is harder than the DS-163'. That would apply to both 163's I have here. They are just from different manufacturing cycles.
There is absolutely no reason to assume that it's not similar with other doll makers. Softness in different areas of the body can change as well with the build date of a certain model as with the model type. I can positively verify this for Maidlee Doll's Maid-Fong, for all Doll Sweets and some Z-Onedolls where I had the pleasure to compare different build dates, and to some extent also for Sino-doll and Xycolo. If you extend the scope to TPE dolls, you can spot this kind of intra-model-line-changes changes, too.
