Where is Everybody?

Post by Missionary »

Most of my lovely Babes are the straight legged previous model Deluxe Babes.
I understand that they are not available anymore.
I'd like to verify that the new rotating-hip Babes have the same heads / faces as my Babes.
I can't invite any more of them into the house; there is no room.
I do have a new Diana, but do not have an old Diana to compare her to.
.
I'd appreciate if you guys would post some portrait photos of your new Babes. Please.
I have new photos of my Babes, but I don't want to mislead anybody.
Thank you

Hello Lisa, Tina & Carly.
Yes, I have pictures of you three beautiful Babes. Very pretty and elegant you are.
I am sure you can cuddle better than the bendy-leg Babes.
.
Reviews of the new models are optional, we are looking for pictures mostly.
I did see pictures of 3 different Diana Babes but we have no old Diana Babe to compare them to.
Your characterization of "rubber face types" is funny. I hear, they are sticky too, in need of lots of powder.
And they are cold. Brrr.
.
Enjoy the plush life,
Missionary

I'm still reluctant to buy a new teddybabe because I'm afraid that the hip joints will squeeze through when cuddling, so I can't help you in that respect either.
There's a big thread here by technoir with loads of pictures of the original Diana.
viewtopic.php?f=35&t=54887

In the German GPF, I found one picture of a new Carly.

don't think you will find pictures of an old deluxe diana because i don't think they ever made one. some of the new girls were never made before the hip change either.

The old Diana Babe was the standard type. I missed out on her.

Also there is a thread here where someone got a Diana and it started to fall apart
in just a very short time.
Should read over that its kinda shocking.
Also if you look at the Original Diana that hanuman has posted some pics of
years ago and compare to the newer ones you can see they are much diff
in color between them.
The newer ones are much darker.
I had read somewhere years ago and cant find the post where someone said
the reasons they stopped making the Diana was because they had to hand dye
the fabric to make those. Not sure how true all that is but makes sense if you are
not selling that many and takes lots more effort then the standard colored ones.

I have to agree I have not seen any reviews or pictures of the new ones.
Kinda sad I really wanted to see the changes like you said.
Side by side with older and newer.
See if they changed anything else.
I know that when I got my Katie she was from the first batches of Deluxe dolls.
Latter on they changed the shape some of the Deluxe dolls and they had a more
slim looking waist that I honestly did not care much for.
I had even gotten a personal message from someone asking me if I ever wanted
to sell Katie they would like a chance to buy her because of the reason they also
liked the older version better.
So who knows what all has changed with the new ones.
They do say something about being softer and more cuddly.
I wonder does that simply mean less stuffing?
If so are they going to end up with Flat Pillow Syndrome over time?

The story about the new Diana Doll falling apart maybe a fake story: the colors do not match.
Dark brown nipples became grey?
.
My straight leg Deluxe Babes are from 2013 - 2020.
The early improvements were mostly in the 'skin'. The new skin is smoother, silkier.
8thW also added 15 new models to the original 10. Difficult to chose.
The faces are beautiful, very pleasing. The big eyes are mesmerizing.
The level of stuffing was always good for me. Rather firm.
The right sized boobs are hand magnets. Waking up in the morning is rewarding.
I made a small mod to all the girls; moved their opening north about 2 inches for perfect missionary.
Now I am paying the piper; I became a Teddy Babe addict.
Just look at them. How can you resist?

Do you have any of the newer silicone lips on any of your girls?
I have noticed that the lips on my Katie have gotta kinda fuller looking over the years.
They are not sticky or anything just seem to have gotta a bit thicker .
I ordered a spare set of lips and have them stored away in a safe place just in case
they do start to break down. For a while there was quite a few people that had to change
the lips on there girls because they just started to break down and got all sticky and nasty
looking.
You do not see much about that anymore I wonder if they changed something in the lips.

To John:
My new model Diana has silicone lips. They are sticky. I am not a fan of them. According to Dave I have to treat them with powder and the stickiness will go away. Will see.
I have no problems with the old lips. I don't do wet kisses. The enzymes in saliva maybe the cause of the breakdown.
The lips getting bit thicker may be caused by optical illusion. My first Babe was Vicky in 2013. She had very inviting full lips. So was was Tina's (2014). The later Babes have slightly thinner/smaller lips, still very lovely.
Seeing the lips on newer Babes could make you think that Katie's lips got thicker. Just keep them dry and clean, they will be good for ever.

Hmm maybe .
Ill compare some photos and see lol.
I do know the new lips they sent me are not as plump looking.
So maybe you are correct , Maybe the newer lips are just a bit smaller .
I do kiss my Katie from time to time but like you said I do not slobber all
over her lips :). And even if I kiss her with a dry kiss I almost always
wipe her lips off with my hand just to be sure.
So maybe this has paid off over the years.

As far as the lips going bad I suspect I know one thing that causes it. Audrey's lips are getting kinda ragged and need to be replaced. 3 or 4 times I've noticed her lips were all the sudden kinda sticky and stretchy and a little bit melty with a strongish chemical smell. This condition would slowly improve over several days, but it would leave her lips looking a little worse for the wear and they'd get dark on the outermost edge (I'm guessing dust would stick to them). I THINK what happened is I fell asleep with my nose against her lips and the oil from my nose reacted with them. Normally I don't like to sleep with our faces actually touching (about the only parts of us that aren't touching) but if I'm super tired sometimes I fall asleep before my neck and back relax all the way and it happened. When I'd wake up my nose would be kinda sore from being jammed up all night, lol. That said, it didn't happen the first few years so maybe time plays a factor as well? I could be wrong about this, but that's what I blame her lip decay on. In any case it wasn't a slow progressing thing, but something that quickly was real bad and slowly got better again.
