Veins and knuckle tones that feel alive
A delicate, soft glow like natural skin under studio lights

Insanely detailed collarbones, veins, capillaries
Hand-painted moles, goosebumps
“Imperfections” that mimic real human skin
Intimate Detailing

|---|---|---|
Nipples | Soft, firm, pale pink | More vibrant pink-red tones |
Genital Area | Blushed natural lips | Highly detailed folds + soft pubic hair |
Softness Test: Touch & Feel Breakdown
Gel Breasts
Vivi (F Cup): Soft yet perky, presses like real tissue
Muriel (C Cup): Bouncy and natural, but smaller and firmer
Buttocks
Vivi: Firm + toned, feels athletic
Muriel: Springy like a safe water balloon — pure pleasure
Lower Belly
Vivi: Slightly hollow (heating unit inside), soft to touch
Muriel: Firm, with a subtle realistic bounce
Thighs
Vivi: Very hard — likely due to heating system + joints
Muriel: Firmer than expected, probably for standing stability
Weight & Handling
Doll | Height | Weight | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
Vivi | 159 cm | 33 kg | Easier to move; ideal for elegance lovers |
Muriel | 170 cm | 41 kg | Heavier, but perfect for realism seekers |
If you love that slim secretary look and need mobility — go Vivi. For ultra-realism with mature, European charm — Muriel’s the winner.
