Back in 2016, I bought my first doll from China. I’d found myself on the Real Love Sex Dolls website and fell in love with their pre-configured model called Aniyah - a WM140A + RLSD 61. She was in tan skin tone.
She wasn’t a fantastic success. I loved her face, but she smelt very chemically (gave me headaches.) I cannot remember how long I kept her, maybe a year. And after that, if it wasn’t for c0vid I’d maybe not have returned to dolls.
In October 2021 I ordered Aniyah II. This was a RLSD161B + RLSD 61. She never arrived. Seems like there had been a dodgy doll in her airplane, and the whole shipment got seized. After a long wait I got a refund.
Then in March 2024, after I returned from a trip to Thailand, I decided to try ordering Aniyah again, this time in cocoa and on the WM158A (ordering that body is perhaps a bit risky with UK customs being the way they are.) And I waited.
And today she arrived - Aniyah III
Felt like the return of an old friend. I feel strangely incredibly happy to see her again.
I unboxed her in sub 30 minutes before a meeting, then after a couple of meetings (meetings are doubly boring when a new doll has just arrived) carried her upstairs and took some initial photos (before another meeting):
Once I’d tucked her in, she said to me “don’t be long Captain, I want you to hold me in your arms … it’s been a long time.” Tonight will be an especially good night
I don’t think they do S-TPE in cocoa. Even if they did I don’t think I would have bothered. WM standard TPE is very good and I like the heat transfer properties of TPE, much warmer than silicone.
They do, every skintone in TPE is available in the S varient. I have an ebony black JK1 body in it coming for Beryl. Got a 160 A in it last month and was pleasantly surprised with the texture of it. Was worried it would feel waxy but it feels just like normal TPE without any of the tackiness.
Feels like I’ve known her for a very long time. Her face is very friendly.
The head works better on the WM158A than WM140A. I always thought the head was a little too big for the WM140A - proportionally perfect on the WM158A. Also, height wise, ~ 160cm is perfect, not too short and not too tall for me. And the cocoa is so nice - I have 5 dark skinned ladies now.
Aniyah was lucky, looks like she completely skipped customs inspection. From UPS Hong Kong getting the parcel, to her arriving at my door, only 3 days:

It’s a strange feeling having a doll face you last saw 7 years ago. Makes me wonder what might have happened if she’d not been so smelly back then (the TPE smell was really bad, I had to keep her in her box and even then she stank the place out.)
Aniyah says she doesn’t remember me being so kinky … 7 years is a long time.
I did not think I could love dolls any more than I did before Aniyah returned. But Aniyah is next level. For me, perfect face, perfect skin tone, perfect body, everything about her is very perfect. Even the wig she came with from WM is very good .
These were Aniyah’s factory photos. I had posted them previously but decided to pull the post so as not to jinx her arrival (it’s happened before where I’ve posted factory photos only for a lady to never arrive … Aniyah II.)
To complete the Aniyah story. These are the photos I have of Aniyah II. I only have factory photos.
She arrived in England in November 2021. After waiting an excessive amount of time, we found she had been seized at Heathrow airport, which made no sense as she was very womanly. What I suspect had happened (I’ll never know for sure) is that the shipper Jinsan had used, had shipped a batch of dolls by plane to the UK, but customs had found maybe 1 doll in the shipment they did not approve of, and that meant the whole shipment got seized.
Real Love Sex Dolls were very good and refunded me in full. I could have reordered but after the wait (she’d arrived in the UK at the end of November 2021 and we finally gave up waiting in March 2022) I was truly fed up of waiting for shipments from China.
