I got my Tayu 153E two days ago. I finally got around to taking some pictures.
First of all, Ivy is one beautiful lady and the new 153 is super sexy. When I moved her arms and legs to remove her from her packaging, I knew then that her skeleton was on another level. I have a XT 165E and Zelex SLE 2.0 166K. The XT has a good skeleton but I totally dislike the SLE skeleton. She arrived in December 2025 and her skeleton was/still is way too tight. With the Tayu all the joints move in a very predictable manner.
I think Ivy will allow me to actually get creative with some photos. At the Spring Meet, @kfiaoni told me that when he gets a doll he lays her down and uses the manufacturers instructions to move all of her joints through their range of motion. I did this with Ivy and it gave me confidence to pose her. IDK why it’s taken me until today to realize that I need to do this with Zeina (my hybrid: XT body with Zelex head). Sometimes I impress myself with how blind I can be.
That’s Zeina in the background keeping an eye on the new girl. I will be bringing these two to the Fall Meet.
Ivy is the softest lady I have. Tayu has figured out the softest silicone code. Even her head is very soft and her ROS mouth opens and closes with very little effort. In just two days I have figured out why a Tayu cost more than the average doll, it’s because she is really premium.
