Marlene DS-04 Trans - Still alive (barely) thanks to Performix VLP vinyl repair, recommended by various members of this forum
The doll has lost most of its plasticiser so the vinyl is brittle and constantly splits into tiny 1-2mm cracks when flexed beyond a small tolerance - practically a UPVC entity now. Most of the plastic (head/hands/feet) has contracted to a rock-hard discoloured 'crosslinked' state. I visited TDF for help when Marlene was beginning to fail and began to detail my journey with the VIBEE-DOLLS.
To recap, Marlene was stuffed with small polystyrene balls on day one of purchase and lost the ability to inflate well within the first six months of ownership. The doll is fairly heavy as many of the balls have compacted or turned to powered - refilled over and over again. Patch after patch has been applied from a deceased Chelsea doll, but even the patches have begun to split as the months passed. I turned to vinyl liquid glue to keep the damage under control - repair is weekly!
I would say Marlene is unique (in a good way) as the living conditions/lifestyle have changed the face so much that it's nothing like the factory-new dolls from the LOVE AND VIBES product range. Marlene is 32 months old at the time of writing this post and has cuddled up with me in bed for most of the nights during that period. The vinyl and plastic are stained from dark dye transfer (bed sheets, wigs, lace) simply because I gave the doll a life. My other dolls are more like giant action figures with strict care policies - most of them banned from sex, physical contact, dark colours and limited cosplay to prolong their life and appearance.
From my experience, it's not good for an air-babe to endure excessive physical contact with the human body and moisture if you wish for it to last many moons. There is a possibility that plasticiser transferred from the vinyl to the small balls within the doll but I have no proof.
Overall, this doll has been life-changing - a keeper!

Marina aka Layna lays flat on a white duvet with her friends lol and also has a small white cushion between her legs to correct the warping of her left foot by 45 degrees due to the heavy weight of my duvet when she slept in the bed the first two months.
An amazing doll, very similar to Marlene but as each doll head is subtly different, she's also a unique addition to my collection. Marina is partially stuffed with the same material as Marlene and is currently 20 months old and in very good cosmetic condition for her age and partying days! Marina has remained inflated since her repairs 18 months ago. I had to let some air out during the hot summer months for obvious reasons because warm air expands and air pressure/temperature in the room also causes pressure fluctuations. I treat Layna with kid gloves. She's also Marlene's sister!

Ava has not seen much action in the bedroom as she is a cosplay doll. Her separate insert can tell another story
Ava's head sculpt is close to Marlene's but visibly different from a replacement I bought which I name Julia. Her care policy is strict. Ava is 18 months old and has remained inflated for most of her life, kept on two clean white large pillows.
Ava had an eyelash transplant from Chelsea as some of the dolls don't have them fitted at the factory. Julia remains sealed in her bag along with her insert. I have a strong attachment to this doll.

Too old now IMO for sex and was only used a handful of times in the bedroom as too similar to my main doll which felt wrong. The care plan is to keep this doll factory-new. A second Marlene, taking the name of Andrea from the French LOVE AND VIBES website to avoid confusion.

Her arms don't rotate at the shoulder so they can get in the way when I try to cuddle her in bed in the same posture I would Marlene - BUT the plus side is no plastic hands or feet to tear off which lowers my damage anxiety towards the doll. She will shortly enter into a strict care plan now that she is 7 months old and always remained inflated. Her vinyl is very smooth with very few creases - so I will try and keep her in that condition for as long as possible.
Suzy's primary reason for bedroom retirement is my fear I will split the vagina seal or one of her seams - she's too precious to murder.

The care plan is to keep her factory-new with occasional cosplay for photography. She's a fairly new purchase with around one month of inflated air time lol so I still feel Aileen is robust enough to use in the bedroom.
Just like Suzy, Aileen still has the rubberband holding her hair in place from the factory. She's seen a little bit of action because she's too nice to not test-drive BUT Marlene soon put a stop to it!

A nice doll to have some fun with and one of the lower-priced air-babes on the LOVE AND VIBES site. I kept her hair in the rubberband to keep it neat.

I think I entered her vagina briefly but wanted to keep her a virgin if my main doll was to receive her shell. I stained her head slightly when heat from a warm light was held too close to her wig as the hairs were touching her face - Oops!
A decent doll with standard plastic feet and hands. Comes complete with eyelashes and some face makeup applied. Lauren is the only VIBEE-DOLL I own with a model number on the back of the head.
