Yes , she certainly looks realistic, I think a lot depends on your preferred body type, size and of course what kind of specification. Obviously a torso is never going to look as "real" as a full doll but with a head, and arms if you want them it may be a good starting point and you won't be spending a lot on a large doll which you might find too heavy or not quite what you are looking for. I really love my Torso ladies as they are "full" size but easy to move -OK I know they don't have legs - OK there not perfect - but who among us Is?
When I started around 5 years ago I bought several small Torso dolls - under 10kg most of which were fine for what they were but I soon got bored with them and they ended up in the bin. I soon learnt I wanted something nearer to "actual size" The Zelex is probably the best "realistic" size you would get from Lucid but their special offer full size dolls are not much more expensive. Let us know how you get on..................
