Did someone at the factory piss her off? 8)

I am overall quite satisfied with the quality and details. My only concern is the braids on the first head/wig are very crudely done compared to this photo from the WM website:

I have emailed Jeff at BCD with this concern, which I imagine can be easily resolved. Looking forward to her arrival and seeing her in these:

Thanks, Albert!

Yes, that is the WM# 326. I like the expression, looks friendly yet seductive IMHO. The second head is YL# 254, love the lips on that one! 8)

Thanks, gogodolls! As they used to say in your homeland, "Beauty, eh?" 8)

Yeah, I believe she will work out better than my former Starpery full silicone, per discussions with and recommendations from my vendor Jeff. First TPE doll. I should have all I need for proper TPE care per the care guide posted here.

As for the wig, Jeff said there could be a shipping delay if they still have it in stock. I told him not to worry about it if not; I suppose I could always re-braid the wig in the factory photos if need be.

Congratulations! She's a cutie ! Rebraiding the wig shouldn't be to hard if it comes to that. I have nerve damage in both hands, and shake from my anxiety, but was able to do it for one of my wigs. Hoping to hear from Jeff myself soon on my new gals pics :)

Thank you Unwritten!

I've never actually done hair braiding, but shouldn't much trouble learning. Jeff actually sent me a link to a braided high-end lace wig at Amazon for $48.99:

I don't know if that's pricey for such a wig, but I think I'll try the DIY option first if the pre-braided one isn't available. :)

The wigs you see in promotional photos by professional photographers are not usually going to be the same quality as the wigs available when you order your doll, unless it is listed at an extra charge.

$50 for a good wig is a fair to good price.
