I have dozens of them. Posing wise, they can’t be beat — but don’t leave them in any extreme poses for too long. They can stain easily, so be sure to soak every piece of clothing before putting them on, particularly dark colors (a 24 hour soak in distilled vinegar/ water, or Rit-Dye color stay should do it; then another soak in soapy water, and then rinse thoroughly; place on white paper towel to air dry — if color leaches onto the paper, soak the clothing again until it doesn’t). Temperature, and humidity will have a big impact on how long the bodies last — I’ve had several for years without any issues. The collect dust and lint fairly easily, so if you decide to use something other than a brush to get it off (like, say rinsing under water), you will need to reapply a light layer of baking powder or talcum powder (they come with it already applied), as the bodies will be very sticky after a rinse since you just washed off the powder that was on there.
