Yet another 'Hello from a New Member' :)

[the living tribunal]

Hello

I've had dolls before but bought my last one when "realistic" dolls were $8K a pop and import to the UK would have been extortionately expensive; so I bought a good-quality inflatable, then when the inevitable tears and leaks happened, filled her with rags to give her a reasonable body type; it's simple enough to insert a FleshLite in the appropriate place. Fast forward 20 years and "modern" dolls are cheaper and have more features, so I am finally in a position to buy one

Currently looking at WM, 165 or taller, C to E cup, dolls at the moment, as WM seem to have the best value for money and can be heavily customised. I am strongly attracted to taller women, those around my height, but not statuesque or Amazonian or whatever you want to call it; so while their height should be 5'6" at least for me, as dolls in that range are heavier and seem to be generally on the large size, there's a lot of thinking to do.

Don't want to give too much personal information away right now, as there are still too many people in my life who believe all kinds of ridiculous stereotypes about dolls and their human companions; so let's just say I'm on the wrong side of 50, single, male and British; that'll do for now.

I only recently found this place, having joined TDF not realising there was a UK specific forum, though will probably use both anyway; hopefully I can find lots of good advice and maybe in time contribute some.

And if you want the TL;DR version - Hi

That narrows you down on here as much as saying
“I am carbon based and breathe a mainly nitrogen oxygen mix”

So fret not.
Also, we are not very judgy

But my 2016 lady stank to high heaven, she gave me a headache. Fortunately 2021 TPE ladies don't smell at all

Yes, you can't go wrong with WM doll. Excellent quality, loads of beautiful faces to choose from.

UKLDF is quieter than TDF, but that can be quite a nice thing as it would be like a full time job to keep up with all the threads on TDF.

Im looking forward to having a drink with you at the meet and hearing all about tony the tiger. Im intrigued lol

Swiftly moving on, TLT!

Hi there. I get where you're coming from on all points especially the privacy aspect in an ideal world nobody would bat an eye at an innocent hobby like doll ownership, but unfortunately life isn't like that. I myself have discovered a doll my own height would be more suitable than the one I own you just like being head to head with her when you're interacting I'm with you on that. I am reading you're a guy who isn't afraid to do your own thing as you mention modifying dolls to suit your own needs I like your style.

Hi LT,

welcome to the forum.

sounds as though you come from the dark days before TPE completely changed the market. Our interest possibly started at similar times. Back then my poster girls were all 4woods. High quality TPE girls though have now changed the market completely and which rabbit hole you go down is now just a matter of choice with both materials having high levels of realism.

From your spec it sounds like you just deccribed a WM166C.... is this the girl for you?



Check out all of her competition first but that girl takes a lot of beating. Great shape, great weight, loves the camera, relatively easy to pose.

And when you have decided on the body... The head (if not the #273 in the above pics)...

by the time you get to the last page you are likely to be a wibbling wreck with half a dozen heads on order!

Have fun,

Shamus.
