Anjie2 was delivered about Oct 2009 to Purplehaze. She arrived at my house on Sept 13th.
I thought that she would be another doll to fit with my other 'Synthetiks'.
I just have to mention things about this doll.

First the bad

When I first opened the shipping box.
- there was a slight urethane/vinyl like smell
- the buttocks and breasts seemed too hard
- the back and neck to rigid for play
- the shrinkage of the breast gel

The good after 6 weeks of learning how to use the doll

- as expected the smell is almost gone after a couple of sponge baths
- the breasts although still firm have softened somewhat
- the upper half of the breasts are the most life-like since they are very,very gel-like
mimicking the fatty tissue of real breasts.
- the skin on the back feels and moves like a layer of skin
- the feet and hands are the most realistic of all my previous dolls
and the silicone is soft and slightly textured
- the reduced silicone of the buttocks means that they warm-up much faster
compared to my older dolls
- the silicone head 'cap' holds the wigs on much better than my 2008 doll.
- the insert can be left in and cleaned out just like the older dolls or taken out and cleaned

I would say that this doll is by far not perfect but when I when I mount this doll for 'play',
wow. This is compared to two very soft tin based silicone dolls and one supersoft silicone doll. I didn't think that there would be much difference in the 'play' department
with later improvements. I thought that this would improve only posability for photos
and ease of transport but I have been pleasantly surprised.

More later,
Mark and the Synthetiks

I agree with these comments. I received my RD2 about a month ago. The smell of the doll has lessened. I store her in my closet, so it can be especially noticeable in there. The breasts are still much too hard, but have softened significantly since her arrival. Especially the upper portion of the breast as mentioned earlier.
