Hello TDF! Stumbled across y'all while researching Love Dolls and wow, such a place! I'm a few months away from acquiring my first companion, still saving up, exploring and dreaming. I figure that, as I start drifting into the sunset of my life, I'd better start making good on some of my fantasies of youth. I'm very grateful for all the piles of knowledge here and hope to make my first leap into this world a good one. Thanks!

Hello ShadowFun and welcome to the forum...

It won't be long that you'll go from exploring the dream to living the dream...

Thanks all! Looking forward to satisfaction! Ha! So far, I'm super into the Elf head from SM Dolls, not sure about the body tho, but my goodness.... I have to have her in blue!

Welcome! I'm great lakes as well, at least our dolls don't rust like our cars here.

Don't forget to show us your new lady when she arrives.

Welcome.

I will say this now just incase you didn't see it elsewhere on the forum. When getting your first doll watch the weight. We see it all the time where a first time buyer goes and get a 100 pound doll with huge butt and boobs then they end up not being able to lift her. Try and stay around the low 60 pound area, this way you can move her around and have fun without breaking you or her. Also get standing feet, without them she cant stand and will just lay around a lot, it's also more easy to clean them and dress them if they can stand.

The SM elf head is nice and they are a great brand but there are other brands with elf heads so make sure you give them a look as well just incase you like one more than the other.

Hey, welcome from another great-laker

Yeah about the weight. I can't believe how heavy some of these dolls are! I already know that 70lbs is too much for me and I've been hoping 60 would be manageable. I've actually been looking into the lower half-body dolls since I'm a bit more of a leg man anyway... But, those elves are damn cute.

As far as the other elves out there goes, does anyone else besides SM offer theirs in blue?

Welcome to the forum ShadowFun.

The SM 136F body typically paired with the Elf head is not too heavy at 61.2 lbs. (total weight with the head)

Welcome here! Best of luck with the search, take your time and yes, heed the advice - watch the weight. My state has only 45miles of Great Lakes coastline - but I still consider myself a "lakes person".

Welcome from another Great lakes area member!
Weight is probably one of the most important things to consider with your first doll.

My lady weighs 60 pounds. It took about 2 weeks to get used to.
Once I got used to it, I could handle her like a champ.
