Just wondering which vinyl she is. New or old? Anyone have her and able to tell?

IDK but the recommended body appears to have been pulled because it didn’t fit her. Now it’s out of stock.

Mine just arrived, vinyl seems very nice. Should be easy to paint. No overwhelming smell when I opened the bag, which was nice. Flanges look good and sturdy. I am sort of obsessed with flanges these days but hers look fine to me. I ordered the larger Emmy toddler body for her and her chunky legs barely fit the openings; she’s going to be fun to shop for!

Is she the really soft vinyl, regular soft or firmer vinyl?
I would say firmer soft, not super soft like NB Sage.

I’m having trouble micro rooting Brooklyn, I’ve already snapped and bent 2 needles and I’ve only just started, and thats with a heat lamp. I don’t usually snap needles, I use the same one on multiple bubs, it’s only been 2 BB kits with bad vinyl so far.

I root like @jeanhai and I think @pia but basically instead of using a heat lamp you pack the head full of poly pellets and I just stuff in a washcloth or a few paper towels to keep them from coming out the neck flange. I used to break so many rooting needles on harder heads using a heat lamp, the poly pellet method works incredibly well, I rarely break needles, even on German vinyl rock heads. Personally I’d give it a try, I have an 8 month Brooklyn also and think her firmer vinyl would work much better with pellets
