Yes, it is reliable. The doll I purchased was perfect. Very real and lifelike, had zero defects, and was really a piece of artwork. The skins are soft to the touch. It can pose in any position a real woman can (some they can’t :-). Once unboxed I cleaned (very important) the doll with warm water and light bath soap. After towel drying, we used baby powder to make the skin super smooth. There was a slight smell when we first unboxed but was gone after we clean the doll the first time.
