I have a LD Doll female 28L soft red with flexible fingers myself.
I am very careful with the fingers.
I can only confirm your points.
Nevertheless, I like her very much, but as an action figure, the TBL are unbeatable!
Thank you. I'm glad that (apparently) the fingers are still working fine on yours too. Yep, TBL still reigns supreme, especially thanks to functionality.

That pricetag is indeed a bit ridiculous considering the obvious flaws with this figure, paying almost triple what you normally would for other seamless bodies...but still with very apparent 'seams'...lol, kind of defeats the purpose - especially if one has to further modify/trim the skin after forking over so much dough. Otherwise, it seems to work quite well from a strictly front/back profile view.
I don't like how some sellers on Ebay have low-res images to make the seams less noticeable... 🧐
Also, I found this while searching around...does anybody have more info or insight to validate? The proportions are some of the best I've ever seen...

Thanks, I felt much the same -- the high price is poorly offset by the various issues. As for eBay sellers, I think they largely use promotional images supplied by the company itself; some of these may have been photoshopped, or the subjects may have received additional grooming/pruning to make them look more flawless. As to the Estartek Uniquedoll body, this is the first I hear of it. It appears to be a pre-sale item (i.e., preorder) at present. There is an even more slender version, apparently. At least a couple of the listings confuse/conflate Estartek Uniquedoll and Lovely Doll/LDDoll figures, which may or may not be suggestive. From what I can see, the linked product even has separate toes, so more attention to detail, and apparently a more realistic coloring applied to parts of the body. However, and I appreciate them not disguising it, it cannot stand on its own. Notice how it is always pictured leaning or sitting on that glass. Up to three factors are at play, and even if only one of them is present, the body is likely to be unable to stand on its own: weak ankles, no continuous sturdy (ideally metal) skeleton, soft jiggly flesh material on the underside of the feet. That last one is probably hard to get around if one is to have seamless feet/ankles. The LDDoll body I reviewed had, it seems, good ankles (if anything maybe too stiff, but the diagram confirms a point of articulation there), but apparently suffered in the other two areas.
