SDA Review - January 2023
Posted: Sat Jan 14, 2023 8:23 pm
A couple of months ago I was searching around for sex toys online and stumbled across the category real life sex dolls.
At the time I didn't follow up anymore because of the price (and I had just come back from an expensive overseas vacation), but the seed of an idea had been planted in my mind.
Then around two weeks ago, the seed of the idea started to blossom on my brain and I just couldn't stop thinking about sex dolls. There was one doll however that really stuck out in my mind, the "Sonya X" from Sex Dolls Australia (SDA). I would later discover the photos of this doll would appear on many sex doll vendor websites under different names, but for the record the model would be a WM 166 C-Cup with 273 head.
The price for the model on the SDA website (with bonus eyes, wig, etc) was $2,850 AUD. This is money not to sneeze at, and although I couldn't spare paying that much in one big hit, they did offer a Zip Money facility - the chance to pay over six months, interest free.
Now, like anyone paying that amount of money, I did my research and looked around elsewhere. A couple of other trusted vendors from Australia on this site were slightly cheaper, but either didn't offer what SDA was also throwing in, didn't have the exact model in stock or offered the same delivery service as SDA.
There was also one site which claimed to have an Australian warehouse and was selling for a third of the price of SDA, but with their site also selling some dolls that would not be permitted to be shown on this site (and possibly get you into trouble with the authorities), I went for the safe option of shopping with SDA.
Before committing to the purchase, late on Thursday (a weeks and a half ago) I emailed Andrew at SDA and asked for a preview of the wigs for the 273 head. By lunchtime the next day, Andrew emailed me back with the previews (Photos are in my member introduction post).
After taking 48 hours to consider making this big purchase, I took the leap on Sunday afternoon and got the Sonya X WM166 #273 (through a Zip Money plan).
I sent an email to Andrew at SDA shortly after to confirm my purchase and asked about some clothes sizes. Andrew replied on Monday, and said that since I had also signed up to The Doll Forum, he'd throw in an extra set of eyes and a couple of more wigs. Another email later that day, Andrew asked when I'd like my delivery on Tuesday.
So, the big day comes around. 3pm is the estimated time of arrival for the doll I'd end up naming as "Annie Crumpets". About 2:30pm, Andrew sends a text saying he has been held up, but should be at my home around 4pm. At 4:10pm he arrives across the street, and has brought a hand trolley with him (as I mentioned I'm one floor up).
Without fuss, Andrew personally brings the box into my apartment, explains about the extras he has thrown in and mentions to call him if there at any issues.
Below, you'll see the unboxing process. The doll came in perfect working order, although I'm looking for a good way for the doll's head to be screwed in a little more securely.
The weight of the doll's torso takes some getting use to. As well, as trying to find a way to have both legs face straight on. The fingers are fragile, with one nail already popping off - but superglue managed to fix that.
All said, the doll is very life like. What you see in the picture (minus clothes and that style of wig) is what you get. The feeling of the dolls wrapping her legs and arms around you is unreal.
Is the purchase worth the price? Well, I got what I ordered and the customer service from Andrew at SDA was spot on. For almost $3,000? I think that's a question worth answering in about six months time when paid off (and if the novelty has worn off or not by then).
Would I recommend Sex Dolls Australia? Absolutely. Andrew did everything as promised on their website.
