#playingwith Amanda Visell's Feral & Ephunt
A photo posted by TOYSREVIL (@toysrevil) on Dec 14, 2015 at 7:47pm PST
I wish I had more toys from Amanda Visell but sadly I don't ... I have always loved her self-made resin collectibles, but they are sadly beyond my financial reach ... but I am glad her production pieces are as rad, and somewhat affordable, and I try to grab a piece here and there when I can afford to - which is not ideal or ![]()

Disappointing Sybarite Gen-X Body
I finally deboxed a Gen-X Sybarite doll and to my dismay, I've discovered a defect in one of the knee joints. I've been informed that all the Gen-X dolls prior to the recently released Guillotine have this issue and that is why "all early dolls are marked SAMPLE on the box."
Because she is a convention doll, I paid a premium for this vinyl doll. She's very unique and I like everything else about her.

The thing that drew me to her initially is her hairstyle. It's made up of two wigs, one on top of the other. The one closest to her scalp is darker brown and is just brushed back and cut short. The upper wig is a lighter color drawn up into two long pony tails.
Her gown is a white crochet type knit with fluffy tulle at the lower third of the dress. The belt is iridescent purple, a color which is picked up by the ribbons in her hair.
Underneath is a set of sexy, sparkly lingerie.

The bra and panty are glitter encrusted as are the fabulous shoes. I'm not a fan of glitter but in this instance, it works.
This is the joint issue:

What I don't understand is why I never heard of this problem prior to discovering it myself. Are collectors so blindly in love with these dolls that they don't say anything and will just keep buying? Not that I needed to hear complaints, but I'm surprised.
I've been offered the opportunity to return the doll to the UK to have the part replaced without a guarantee of vinyl color match. I'd rather sell her to someone who missed out on purchasing this very small edition doll. I don't know what to do.
Ed. Update:
I never would have posted publicly about it if an appropriate response to a defective $600.+ doll had been offered.
The other companies I deal with most often: Tonner, Jamieshow, Integrity and Kingdom Doll would have offered to repair or replace the doll at no cost to me.
What's worse is finding out that this was a known problem.
I surely wouldn't have purchased her if I had knowledge of this troublesome and widespread defect.
