Ordered a 143cm Valentina doll last Wednesday. Arrived this morning. Very fast delivery. The doll is exactly as in the website photos. Got the #71 head. Decided to name her Mollie. The first photo she has the short black wig that she came with. The second photo she is wearing the outfit she came with but the wig was from another doll I ordered from aliexpress.com and was sent the wrong size doll with one of those cheap wire frames. I think my new doll is absolutely beautiful. Can't decide which wig looks the best on her.

And using a back brace probably wouldn't hurt one bit either.
@Dale DavisThe easiest way to carry her, is to carry her like a Bride, across the threshold. This also minimizes the chance of damaging her...
I am trying to get use to the weight too. have not figured out how to lift her. try to let you know when I do and you can do the same if you are first.
The only thing is she is a lot heavier than I anticipated. Any suggestions on easy positions until I get used to the extra weight?
congratulations I got mine with a17 head yesterday. love it
Very nice! Congratulations on her safe arrival!
Will probably post more photos of the after I get to know her a little bit better.
