Need a new light weight doll...should it be a Teddy Babe?

[Doll-I-Am]

My poor original Vicky's stuffing is pouring out and her plastic skeleton is broken in several places, constantly jabbing at me unless I put something over the broken pieces. She doesn't have any lips anymore either, though I lost those a long time ago. I need a new light weight doll...should it be another Teddy Babe?

I've actually had a 1st gen Deluxe Bianca and Ultra Sheba but had to get rid of both of them. Unfortunately I did not have a good experience with Sheba. The "silocone" they use is just waaay too tough. I couldn't even get it in her mouth and I'm not even trying to brag. It just felt like fucking 2 tires stacked together, no matter how much lube I tried. I think I got an insert with her as well but again, like fucking 2 tires. Also her head was heavy so it flopped around. I liked using my TB's in cowgirl but with Sheba it looked like she had a broken neck. 1st gen Deluxe Bianca was so much better, and I wish I still had her, but I did have 2 complaints. First, she was not soft like my original Vicky (same with Sheba, actually, since they both had the same bodies). It felt like they stuffed her with hard styrofoam balls or something. Not nearly as cuddly and soft as Vicky was.

My 2nd complaint is one I have with all 3 Teddy Babes I've had, even my original Vicky: the vaginal opening is too small. Again, not trying to brag, but I actually had to make all 3 of my TB's vaginal openings wider so that it would be more comfortable 'using' them. I actually didn't mind the plush inserts that came with them (also nice not to have to mess with lube and tpe inserts) but it would have to be comfortable yet snug, like going in between two pillows. So I made the opening longer by cutting towards the belly button. It worked fine with Vicky (except for the stuffing that kept pouring out) but since Bianca and Sheba were a lot harder I had to cut a lot more, and even then it wasn't as comfortable.

My point going into all this detail is this: I'm looking at a few different light weight dolls. Teddy Babes is probably the top contender right now but I'd really like to know these things:

1. Would Eighth wonder customize a doll in ways that would fix my main gripes, particularly make the vaginal opening longer (probably by cutting about an inch towards the belly and another inch towards the butt [don't care if it sacrifices the butt hole since it's that tough silicone I don't like] making it wider and more comfortable for use with a plush insert)? Could they use different stuffing material to make the doll softer? My experiences are from 5-7 years ago so if these things changed and customization isn't required for my desired results, please let me know.

2. Hopefully I'm not breaking any rules but the other dolls I'm looking at are SeeDree (seems tough like a mannequin/not cuddly though they might have a newer, softer model?), Textile (probably not open for business yet), and Valentina Girls (I like the more realistic look of the Teddy Babe, even compared to their more realistic face, though the option for a mouth entry is nice). If anyone has any experience with any of these especially compared to a Teddy Babe, or any other light weight sex doll you can use for cuddling while sleeping please let me know.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far, and thanks in advance for any advice!

my newest babe is a Valentina Catalina travel model with new face , super cudly as with out the skeleton you fill as you want , and basic price was under £150 UK pounds (travel model) , the new head priced as extra , much better for cudling with out the skeleton that I was thinking of removing the skeleton from one of my Teddy Babes .

the other option is learn some simple sewing techniques and modifiy a TB , one forum member has done vaginal mods so and no dout will be along soon .

I have spare new lips for your Vicky,

From my experience, other than minor cosmetics, eyes, mouth and so forth, EW is not open to customization at all. VG would be my choice in that regard. Love my Dhila, (link in my sig below). She's their Quintina Cuddle model, (no armature or core), with the Solina Real Head option.

So first things first, Id definitely look into opening up your original Vicky, taking out the broken skeleton, maybe adding some new stuffing where needed, and sew her back up!

Originals are super rare these days. Even in the state she's in, it'd be worth either repairing or selling her.

Have any pics of her?

Also, I would have to recommend you look into Kinky Plush! He's a manufacturer who makes custom, super well made plush dolls

I've been kind of obsessed with his work recently and for good reason; I've had similar gripes with Eighth Wonder recently because, to be frank, their quality has plummeted compared to the Originals

Here's an invite to his Discord: https://discord.gg/danUz24Exf

Worth looking into if you want a custom doll that will still run you less than a new TB

The bunny could be fun to roll with in the hay, but if she gets pregnant, you have a busload if kids.
The Blue Babe looks good too.
.
About Teddy Babes. All of mine are TBD19 types. They are all modified, moving the opening 2" forward.
I have to be careful with them, they don't let me stop. Exhausting, but somebody has to do it.
I have nice soft silicone inserts.
.
There are some beautiful Anime type plush Love-Dolls on the market. So little time.

Thank you everyone for your answers and suggestions!

@setrack and @Mr Franz: How long did it take to receive your VGs?

@ChaseTruth TJ: Thank you very much for the offer but I'll pass.

@Invo: That is some damn fine work! Does KP have a site with doll options I can check out or is all communication only done via that Discord?

@Missionary: Did EW mod your dolls? If so, how much was the extra mod? And by TBD19 do you mean they're Deluxe models from 2019? My Bianca was from January 2017 and Sheba from September 2018.

Also, I didn't take into account the new Deluxe models' new rotating legs. I'm wondering if that makes a difference between the vaginal entry's tightness compared to the original Deluxe bodies. Could anyone shed some light on that?

And the more I think about it, regarding my Deluxe and Ultra's rigidness my main gripe was how hard the breasts were. When pressed up against her it felt like 2 softballs. So I'd be happy if they could just make the breasts soft again. I don't supposed the new Deluxe's have softer breasts already?

And one great thing I remember about the Deluxe was the beautifully shaped butt. Does it still look like this even with the rotating legs?

Thanks again!

To Doll-I-am: My TBD are from 2013 to 2020, only 2 rotator legs.
I modified my Babes. EW modified one but it was not to my liking.
I made the mods look like original design, working from the outside. ~6 hours of labor.
Also, had to be careful with repositioning the stuffing. I was a very interest customer in the outcome.
I once did a picture show about the mod. Perfect mating position for an old missionary.
I have not done anything to the rotator leg Babes. The other 22 Babes keep me way too busy.
My one attempt of mating was not successful with the rotators.
They did move up the opening, but they also moved up the inside end to make room for the butthole.
Useless for me. And the angle is still wrong for me. I don't think EW ever did any product research and testing.
I love the pretty faces and the perfect boob/butt sizes of my Teddy Babes. \
I don't want to brag about the amazing sex (with old RD2 soft silicone inserts).
Here are three of them lovely Babes:

They do, but most of their doll options are going to be over on Twitter! https://twitter.com/art_peculiar

They also have some really nice videos showing off some of their custom jobs on Tiktok https://www.tiktok.com/@kinky.plush

The Discord is the best place to talk details with KP though, if only because its the easiest way to start a conversation with the makers

Also for the new Swivel legs! We have a Cindy model with the swivel legs. Points of entry are fine, but her as is as tough as can be. Those rotator cuffs are rock solid.

And unfortunately here chest + a looot of her body is very very tough. I actually made a whole thread about needing to mod our swivel deluxe for those exact reasons viewtopic.php?t=153980

@setrack and @Mr Franz: How long did it take to receive your VGs?

Mine took about 10 days Sweden to US mid-Atlantic region. Would have been sooner, but got hung in NY a few days awaiting approval of paperwork.

setrack How long did it take to receive your VGs?

the doll arrived from Sweeden to the UK within seven days , ordered Catalina with extra new head , and had the option of extra hole any where on doll for free ,

that option I declined , the doll arrived with new head sewn on - also it is said the original cartoon head is retained (for filling/stuffing ) under the new head

my Val is a travel model - no skeleton os stuffing , you fill to your own cuddle'ness around 4 pillows of fiber fill ,

and dont worry about size you wont be that BIG to be able to fill a Valentina girl as they hold the biggest Fleshlight and a bit more

also Robert is a great guy , he will listen and make improvements to you requirements , with cost .

Has anyone reached out to Eight Wonder recently? I decided to ask them directly about this. I emailed them on 5/25 but they haven't got back to me yet, though I realize there was a holiday weekend recently.

I also emailed Eight Wonder and waiting almost for a week for reply. Is there any other email? I contacted them via info@teddy-babes.com as mentioned on their website.
