6YE 161D unboxing and review

So, I was in the market for a taller doll. I already have a 163F Normon, but I don’t like how her skin or head feels. So I thought hey, why not get a TPE doll that’s nice and thick?

After a lot of hemming and hawing and questioning as one does when deciding which doll to order, I finally settled on the 6YE brand. They’re apparently well regarded in general, and they’ve got some lovely sculpts. It finally came down to a 159 with “relaxed breasts” (and I do like me some hanging breasts) and the 161 with wide hips (I like me some hips too.) Finally I settled on the 161D.

Only problem is that the head I wanted was silicone, not TPE! Doom! Disaster! They made it in TPE, but didn’t have pictures! :frowning:

I was considering just getting that head in TPE anyway and rolling the dice, but didn’t really want to take the risk. I chose another head, but @dollface was able to arrange two heads for me since they were running a promo on second heads anyway - my second choice and the TPE version of my original first choice. Yay! Doom averted!

Factory Pictures

Production time was quoted as about a week, which was somewhat surprising. Not that I was complaining, but the short timeline arguably made the waiting worse. :stuck_out_tongue:

So pretty much a week later on the nose, I got pictures:

These are the two heads. I actually like them both and the TPE head is fairly close to the silicone head I found. She could use some more bangs on that wig to give her less of a sixhead, but they’re factory pictures - you’re lucky to get a wig in the first place. :stuck_out_tongue:



Shots of the body, in all her thicc glory. :grin:

Overall, I was quite pleased with what I saw. She looks a little weird when sitting down, but what doll doesn’t?

Delivery and Unboxing

Transit time was about 4 days from the package actually making it to the carrier, which is great. After a bunch of watching the UPS tracker, she got delivered while I was distracted by something at work:

ah yes, UPS and ignoring shipping instructions, what else is new

Sneak preview of why you don’t sit the box on end like that:


So I got her into the house, onto the bed, and started unboxing:


The expandable foam is a nice touch IMO, though as you can see from the second picture, it only does so much - the 40kg weight compressed part of the bottom foam (dat ass) into something more solid than the cardboard underneath.


The box had a bit of damage (as always,) but she survived intact. I think they need to replace their weird yellow packing tape rolls, but things looked good.


Heads and accessories:

Came with most of the standard stuff - wigs, low-effort lingerie, heating stick, douche bottle, and a sad excuse for a comb (seriously, my eBay doll came with a better comb than that.)

There were also a couple of interesting things to me, since this is my first doll factory direct from a major manufacturer - first a couple of chunks of TPE for repairs, I guess. But also I got what appears to be a full set of replacement nails. Nice touch, since I swear I lose nails all the time.


The manual’s translation is terrible. Apparently she’s not allowed to wear loose clothing if it’s got color? So loose white clothing or tight colored clothing it is! :grin:


Alright, let’s get this girl out of her box.


The little socks are adorable. :face_with_hand_over_mouth:


She looks good! All the parts in the right place, lovely shape.


It’s interesting to note that the heads look like they’re similarly shaped from the front, but one is noticeably deeper than the other. I might have to try the smaller one on my Doll4Ever body.



Articulated fingers work fine too. They’re perhaps a little loose (couldn’t get the Vulcan hand salute quite right,) but I imagine that’s better than them being so stiff that you break the TPE trying to move them.


Finally, I tossed a head and one of the stock wigs on. Pretty! The wig doesn’t seem to be super high quality though - even in the picture above, you can see where the wig’s base is showing through right at the front. Again, I don’t really expect too much from a manufacturer wig, but figured I’d point it out.



Interesting to note that they put a piece of foam packing material into both of the love holes. I didn’t take a picture of it, but the TPE was definitely stuck together a bit over the vaginal canal. Not a fake hymen sort of situation, just the TPE sticking to itself. The foam inside the holes presumably kept them from closing up too much.


Ah yes, the good pictures. Not sure if folks consider this good LHP, but it works well enough for me. :grin:


Final random detail shot. I guess because she’s so thick, you get weird TPE folding like this when positioning her.

Final Thoughts

Weight

40kg makes for a big girl. I've had three other dolls - one at 25kg, two around the 33kg mark (one silicone, one TPE,) and finally this one at 40kg. There's definitely a difference in weight, but assuming you have the strength, the overall techniques you learn for handling a smaller doll pretty much apply to a larger one. Hanging her up for bathtime is definitely an adventure though, even if it's mostly a problem of the setup I have for washing. :grin:

Note: She’s kicked back for drying after her bath at the moment, so I haven’t stood her on the scale to see the weight with her head on. I’ll hit that in the (eventual) follow-up post.

Vaginal Texture

Again comparing my last three dolls - two of them had what I'd describe as a simple "ridged" texture in the vagina. The third one, of course, was an insert that broke after the first use :grin:

This one has something else going on - more bumps and folds like a real vagina. Definitely feels different and nice.

Softness

She's definitely soft and jiggly. Comparing her side by side with my Doll4Ever though, she's not quite as soft. Because she's so thick though, she will continue to jiggle enticingly for a couple of seconds after you give her a shake. :grin:

Special mention of the breasts - they’re not nearly as soft as I’d expect from gel breasts. See the analysis under the second “problem” below.

Problems

No doll is perfect. I've noticed a couple of things - one moderate complaint, one minor.
  • Hands

For the hands, there’s a pointy bit on the wrists when you grab across them. It feels like they forgot to wrap (or round over) the hand plates between the wrist joint and the fingers. I know she’s eventually going to stab me in my sleep with the damn thing.

  • Breasts

The breasts are a weird and possibly nitpicky one. There’s a noticeable soft spot on the sides, presumably where they were filled with gel. Under normal usage this probably wouldn’t be an issue, but I did want to have the option to add some gel at some point to make the breasts bigger. Since the wall feels so thin there though, I’m hesitant to do that.

It almost feels like the breasts were filled incorrectly - the cavity for the gel ended up off-center or simply not large enough, and it makes the breasts not feel as consistently soft as they could be. They’re not bad at all - just feels like they could be better.

  • Body

This one’s SUPER nitpicky lol

I noticed after giving her an initial bath and powdering her that there were runs of what appear to be melted TPE down her body. It’s invisible unless she’s freshly powdered, and you can barely feel them even when you know it’s there. I actually think it’s kind of cute - looks like subtle stretch marks, which would probably be appropriate for a real woman this size.

Conclusion

I'm happy with her in general. She'll be my new Lena, since I've decided my old Normon is a non-entity. :stuck_out_tongue:

She’s pretty pleasant in bed too. I slept last night wedged between two dolls, and it wasn’t nearly as bad as when I tried it with the silicone doll. I’ll do another post in a couple of weeks after I’ve had her for a while.

Decided to actually take a couple of random pictures. Nothing fancy, I’m afraid.



I think the red wig works out well for her. I’ll probably try a couple of others, especially if I try the other head, but this works for now.

A 2.5 Week Retrospective

Okay, I'm not waiting a whole three weeks, mostly because it'll fall in the middle of the week and I'll be late with it anyway. :stuck_out_tongue:

I haven’t done a lot with her clothing-wise - in general, I lack the patience to “play dress-up” too much, especially not with her being as heavy as she is.

Weight

I finally got her on the scale, and oof - 95 pounds. That's about 43kg for you metric folks. With that said, my overall thought was right - I have the technique to move her around fine, it's just a matter of building up the strength to do so. I'm getting there.

I think that a side consequence of the weight is that she feels a lot more substantial than a smaller doll. This has obvious consequences for cuddling, of course, but it makes it great when she’s on top too.

Love Holes

After having her for a couple of weeks, I've decided that I'm never getting a doll with a plain ridged vagina ever again if I can help it. The entry is tight, but expands further in. Between the initial tightness and the "realistic" texture, it's amazing.

Note that the wider canal overall makes her easier to clean out too - less fiddling around with the position of the air pump to make sure air can escape.

Joints

I asked for tight joints. Most of the joints were tight, but the knee joints swing left and right almost freely. Not sure what happened there. As far as loose joints it's not the worst one to have loose, but it's still annoying.

Paint

At this point, I'm assuming that either manufacturers don't know how to fix paint on the dolls, or they don't do it on purpose so customers can do their own makeup/etc.

The first picture is a repost from the initial review to provide a baseline.

The second picture is a close-up of the spot on the breast mentioned in the initial review where I noted that it felt like the gel in the breasts was off-center. Note that despite it only being a day later, the paint is noticeably lighter.

The third picture is where I repainted the areola (in a darker color, because I also decided I wanted a darker color :stuck_out_tongue: )

Breasts

Of all the things on this doll, this is probably what I'm least satisfied with. The breasts are gel, true, but they don't really feel like it. The "enhanced" gel breasts on my Doll4Ever are very soft, and even the gel breasts on my Normon feel very "full" (weird feeling skin aside.) The breasts on this doll feel stiff. They're soft, of course, but they're "TPE-soft" rather than "wobbly-soft."

The TPE

I'm not sure what it is with the TPE this girl's made from, but it loves to stick to itself. I noted that I had to do some work initially to get the vagina open because the TPE had stuck to itself. Well, I've had to do that every time I've wanted to get into the vagina. Her arm's also stuck to her side or breast where the powder's worn off, and her thighs stick together a bit. It's nothing that feels like it's causing permanent damage, but it's definitely weird looking.

Final Thoughts

I'm definitely glad I got this doll. Picking a heavier doll was a risk, but I've been able to handle her a lot better than I expected. There's problems with her like with any doll I've gotten so far, but none of them are truly dealbreakers unlike my issues with the previous doll. She's a good cuddlebuddy. :slight_smile:

One last update - 6 months later

Remember that loose knee I mentioned?

…the knee joints swing left and right almost freely.

Well, it turns out that the joint broke a week or two later.

I’m not super harsh on my dolls, mind you. They spend most of their time laying in bed, with the occasional romp happening. Presumably the stress on the knees from sleeping on her side (remember, she’s a bit over 40kg) finally took out the joint.

Dollface was fortunately able to help me with getting a replacement from the manufacturer - I can tolerate flawspersonality quirks, but an entirely broken leg was too much even for me.

A replacement arrived a couple of months later (Chinese new year, excessive shipping from holidays, etc.)

With the replacement, a lot of things came out better - the finger caps (under the TPE, covering the bones to avoid pokes) seem to be properly glued on, the knee isn’t broken (yet? I’ll analyze this later…), and in general most things seem consistent. But this time, the breasts were even worse.

See, when I got the doll, I noted in Discord that one breast seemed a lot softer than the other. I chalked this up to the inconsistent placement of the “cavity” in the breast where the gel goes and kind of rolled with it. But upon further examination, I’m pretty sure they forgot to put the gel in due to how it sits when she’s laying on her side.

I’m still not truly disappointed in the purchase, and props to them for sending a replacement with (apparently) little argument and for only shipping costs, but I’m not sure I’m confident in the overall quality of 6YE. Maybe I’ll try another one some other time, who knows.

And with that, I’m going to stop posting in this thread. Maybe I’ll make a new one, who knows. :stuck_out_tongue:
