Ame's BDSM toys - Resin Box

New review, new store.


Qualty

It starts out as a glass box, with a black rusted frame around it. Above and below are rusted metal boords held in place. Theres also a small rubbery lined hole up there for attachments, specifcally a funnel and/or breathing tube.

Inside the box itself are some more of these rubber line holes for certain.. Other things that would aid in keeping the victim alive. I think your imaginations can guess what. Theres also an option to add a certain toy for even more fun. Lastly theres a small leash ring set at the back, and a small red button on the bottom of the outer frame.

The box is called the resin box however, and the main part for the RP of it all comes from there. Put a sub in, make sure shes held tightly in her bonds, then fill it up with the greenish resin to keep her preserved.. The breathing tueb and other attachments are optional, but a suffocating sub is only fun to people into breathplay and snuff.

Function

Quite a ot of options are within it.. the first is "Piss!". It works with the funnel attachment and well.. I'll let you figure it out. It has a timer, which is something I still say should be mandatory these days. Under presevre there are a few options.. Funnel pulls out a funnel and the breathing tube as well. You can also choose Breath to just get the tube. Theres a pump for feeding your victim with what we'll call Watersports and a little extra for those that like it. Turning this one also makes teh funnel and tube appear.

You can also turn on the Resin here, having ti slowly fill the box. You cna freely stop it at any point in its filling, or choose to reverse the flow and have it pour out, again with you able to stop it at any level.

Next theres a vibrator. Self explainitory again. Quite a lot of options in the menu for tormenting your victim with though. "Find Victim" comes up next, which searches for people with open relays. Release and lock do as you;d expect, as does strip. Lastly there is the Owners menu and help. Help giving an NC of course.

In the owner menu you can adjust the position of the person inside, turn on auto capture, auto strip and auto lock and adjust the range it seeks people out within.

Extra stuff

When I bought this, it had no scatology stuff in it, its developed since then into one. Still getting a fair review, just don't wnat people suddenly thinking I'm into that stuff!

Also I did this review in public, partially out of boredom, partially for something differant to do. The place was HBC on myanimo if anyoen wants to check it out.

RF - Mesh Wrap-o-matic

A new release! Yes I know its another product from RF, but what can I say? They do good stuff.

This one also conviently covers both types of restraint, worn and furniture.

Quality

The new design is quite streamlined. Been mesh it can look brilliant with a low prim count, which always helps. One siude has two small boxes, one been a control box the other containing scissors. The other has its name written in yellow letters going down it.

The machine itself is quite simple, but nice to look at. Its a darkish gray. with a red platform where the captive (or product if you prefer) stands during the wrapping procedure. The actual wrap comes off a small yellow roller that climbs up the machine as it cocoons its victim. The new animation for wrapping is much smoother than the original, and looks significantly better. Katie also informed me she had adjusted it to it will detect avatr height soemwhat, meaning we shouldn't get issues of the cocoon going half way up our heads, or ending down around our waist.

The animations are quite nice as well, Up to your waist or so you struggle to keep your balance, then yoru arms get pinned to your sides from then on up.

The cocoon itself is very nice. Katie called it "latex palletwrap", and it works well. Shiny, tight and in a literal ton of colours, you can't go wrong with it. Unlike the former cocoon that required an invisi prim (which don't work with lighting and shadows on), this one uses an alpha, and furthe rmore lets you hop around, whiel the other left you too rigid to move much. Been rigged mesh of course, it flexes with you as well, making it even better.

Oh and for those that want duct tape, try some of the gray colours, they come out *very* similar.

When fully wrapped, you get a male or female option, another nice addition for those male subs out there.

On one thing - Sometimes the unrigged collar will disapear below your neck. If this happens, in more recent viewers anyway, go into your inventory, right click the wrappings and hit edit. It will let you move it from there without issue.

The cocoon also works well as a trap for heroines for that kinda RP, thanks to Etherea for posing with me again for a pic (bottom left if it isn't obvious)

The good - Shiny, mesh rigged means tight, tons of colour, TAPE
The bad - the cocoon can seem a little bulky at times, you may need to edit the cocoon to see the collar.

Function
 
The main function of this device is obvious, wrap up someone before they know whats happening. It has two modes, Manual and auto. In manual mode you can freely choose to grab someone and force them on, strip them, wrap them and of course choose the colour. You can also change colour mid wrap, which is handy if you chose the wrong oen I suppose.

Once wrapped, if you change the colour of the wrappings on the machien and regrab the packaged captive, the wrappings will change colour without needing to cut them free or run them through the machine again.

Automatic is differant, it nabs the victim as they walk past, strips em and wraps em up all in one swift move. Unfortunatly you can't set it to auto and not strip, but at least we have manual for that.

You can change who can access the machine as well, whetehr just you, the owner, a group or anyone. You can also turn onr andom colour. When random is on, it will change colour when it nabs someone and wrap em up in it. While doing this, you cannot change the colour yourself however and must turn it off to change your snugly wrapped victims colours.

The escape mini-game is the same as it was before. Get some scissors, attach em and get to work. You have to touch the unrigged collar of the cocoon to access the menu. If the captive touches it, they get a message with a hint on the combo the person needs to do to free you. I won;t post the combinaton here. Watching in despair as you don't get freed is half the fun!

The owner also gets a pair of super scissors, which can function as normal ones or, by clicking the collar then the scissors, cut it off automatically without playing the game.


The good - Options to do it manually or auto, simple to use.
The bad - auto always stripping without option to turn off

Quality - 9/10

Price - 1350 1000 linden

Katie lowered the price!

Again I refrain from scoring price and leave that open to you guys, as I just don't know.

P.S

Lately some people seem to think demanding I review things is good fun. I would love to review stuff that everyone wants me to, but that just can't happen as things stand. Yes I can ask for free copies, though it rubs me the wrong way to do that to sellers, but demanding I actually go out and spend thousands of linden to please you alone is not fair.

In short, stop it or rather send me the item or the money for it. In the meantime I'll continue to review stuff that I actually own or have been sent.

Skrylian Engineering - Bodysack

A new store that seems to have just started on the marketplace. And if their first item is any indication, one to watch.

Quality

First off, its mesh, but unrigged. This makes it very easyt o resize still, but does mean it doesn't flex with the body unfortunatly, which lets face it, a sleepsack/bodybinder/etc would do.. Unless its got boning anyway.

I get a more PVC than latex feel from this item,though its shiny all the same, and thats what counts. The texture is good for a first time, though it could use a little extra work, for example when you zoom in, it gets VERY blurry, which is normal for fairly lwo res textures. Still, quite nice. See the pic next to this for what I mean.

This one uses a hands bound to side style, which might make you think at first your hips and waist are a bit wider than they should be, but it works. It also seems to be quite baggy, as opposed to real tight. It has three poses built in; standing, face down and face up. Standing bugs me slightly, as the foot shape at the bottom is en pointe at all times.

You can adjust it to have a zip at front, back or not at all.

The good - Shiny, somewhat original (SL wise) design
The bad - Shape seems off, low res texture

Function

First option you get is Public, simple tick box. Pressing this will make anyone and everyone able to use the restraint. In the RLV menu you can enable or diasble some basic restrictions, specifically Touch, inventory and TP. No IM block, which is good.

You can lock next, self explanitory. When locked all three RLV options are automatically enabled, and cannot be disabled. Others can offer you TPs though. Next up is "About" which takes you to teh store page. Presumably this is more for other people as opposed to the girl wrapped up.

Pose is next. You can turn on standing, face down, face up or None. Regardless of which you choose, you CANNOT move, which is a bit of a shame. It doesn't look tight enough to stop wriggling.

Lastly is Zipper, which lets you put it on the back, front of none at all.

The good news is, according to the manual (I actually read one for a change!) that a timer is planned, btu sadly not yet included.

The good - Simple menus, does what it needs to
The bad - Not been able to move, no timer (yet)

Extra stuff

I'd like to see a rigged version of this sometime. It could really be great if it was skintight

Extra stuff 2

Had a few ask how I do scores. Long story short its how I feel the restraitn matches its price in the end. Function wise for example, no timer is an instant loss of 2 points. Figure the rest out for yourselves please.

ThinkKink - Screwn Post (Rustic)

This is my first proper furniture review (the vaccube was differant), so bear with me. Also later than promised, but I'm no good at this scheduling malarky.

Quality

You can adjust its appearance in the Chameleon menu under >Device Egyption, Dungeon, Weathered and Cabot

Dungeon is a wooden post. Quiet a dull wooden colour, the kind you'd expect in a dockside kidnappers hut I'd say.  Up thte top it changes to metal that looks rusted, with a metal ring bolted into it, also somewhat tarnished. The TK logo is also up there, just above the ring.

Weathered is similar, but a whitewood.  Egyptian completed chanegs it to a stone post with carvings and a golden cap, and Cabot makes it look a lot more looked after, varinished wood, non-rusted, etc. See pics for more details. Upper left is Cabot, right is Egyption. The lower left is Weathered and lower right is Dungeon.

Function

This was hard to test, like most furniture it requries two people to do so properly, as such a friend of mine is also shown in the pics tied to the post.

Lets see.. The First option is >Device . In there the first thing to catch your eye will likely be >TRAPMODE. In here you can turn on the Trap, as well as certain RLV restricitons, specifically ForceView and Chat and IM Muting/deafening

Under >Options, you can adjust the Language it uses, its Range, whether RLV is on or off, and mute the post in local. You can also update and reset it here. Back in the main menu, you can hide the TK logo on the top, and there is of course the menu for changing its appearance between the four types. Theres also Clr Wanted, which removes all current "Warrents." More on this later.

The next menu lets you adjust whoc an access the post. Its pretty self explanitory. You can add or remove people as needed, set it to group, etc. Then tehres >Arousal. In ehre you can turn Xcite on or off, stimulate yoru victim, etc. Not gonna go too deep into details, want to keep my G rating and all.

The Graboid menu is next, and allows you to set how far the post will scan for a victim, then let you gran one within that range, upt o a max of 60m.

Under>>>Get, you can get the manual for the post, a relay, a relay help card, the store LM, a whip, a paddle, and some basic cuffs. Handy stuff.

Once you get someone on the post, you get a few ore menus. First is >Avatar. In here you can eject them from the post, force into mouselook (ugh) or strip (doubleugh). Then theres perfect pose. Now I spoke to the owners about this, and apparently they are putting in a system that uplaods a specific avatars position on the post to a server, and will always rebind the avatar in the correct place, so you don;t lower the pose for one person, then have the next hop on with their legs through the ground. Each person has their own pose rememebred. Handy.


It has 5 poses built in, some pretty basic but still nice ones. Nothing overly special. You can hang them by their wrists, bind them with their back to the room, with their back to the post, more tightly to the post and up on the tips of their toes.

You get a further 10 poses if a second person sits on the post, opening up the >Action menu instead of >pose. For various reasons involving the nautre of these poses, I won't go into too much detail.

 Lastly you can lock and unlock it.

Now this post is Copy/Mod. As far as i know, thats a pretty big deal, as you can throw as many down as you like. Theres also 4 differant posts in total, aside from the Rustic I was given to test.

Its also 11 prims, not many, so handy for those little skyboxes.

Scores

Quality - Pretty nice detail, not much customiation - 7/10
Function - Does some basic stuff, decent amount . - 7/10
Price - 995 linden. Its Copy/mod, so I guess that ramps it up? - ?/10

The price i have no clue on. If it was a worn restraint, I'd score it pretty low for the balance of customization and functionality with that pricetag, but my lack of knowledge in this area makes it hard to score. I'll leave that up to the poeople who buy these things regular, at least until I get a few more pieces to properly gauge them against.

Amelie Barbours Gimp Doll

Last normal restraint review for now, possibly for awhile till I find some that actually intrigue me.


Quality

This is well.. A bondage doll suit. It comes with a hood, mittens, gag, blindfold and boots. All of whicha re very well detailed and textured, I can't complain on that part. The problem is the beachballs. You can't remove them, you can't hide them, they are on, and thats it.

From others, most I've spoken to agree that it would be much better if they were, and hell some evn said they'd buy it if they didn't need to have the ridiculous bust. Unfortunatly Amelie Barbour has no interest or desire to make them optional at this time. Shame.

There are a lot of colours options, and the boots come in a seperate box if you want to wear them without the whole suit, which is a plus I suppose. The mittens are also optional if you;d prefer to use your own set.

The good - Seperate boots and mittens if you like, lots of oclours
The bad - The bust, which ruins it in my eyes.

Function

The functionality is.. Interesting.

Right off the bat, unless you want to be stuck for who knows how long, unable to be freed by yourself or others, do not touch the "I AM DOLLY" button.  This ridiculous option that has no description or explanation locks the suit on, gags you, imposes name and lcoation blocking, gives no way to escape and as far as I can tell, rather no timer, or an incredibly long one. This would be fine if there was some warning, but as there isn't.. Don't touch it.

Otherwise its the same as most of her gear. You set it to single key or anyone, if it gets locked in single key the keyholder can unlock it, even if its just you who has the key. Anyone does at it suggests, anyone can lock, everyone bar the bound one can unlock. Unlike most of her gear, this one at least has a timer. The startup menu also lets you adjust appearance.

The gag system is interesting. While the actual appearance of the gag stays the same, the options you choose change how the speech comes out. Quite a good idea in truth, as differant gags do muffle you in differant ways. You can also have a "mantra". From what I coudl tell, this is a message that occasionally plays in local such as "one of us". You can also adjust the name shown in chat when they speak.

If youa re the binder, you can also go into this and hit message, which will let you force them to say something via a channel specified in local.

The blindfold can be turned off, have it shown (imposes soem RLV restrictions such as location and anmes) or full, which of course blinds as well as everything the previous option does. No faux option without RLV restrictions in place.

If you are stuck in I AM DOLLY and possibly by someone else in Single Key mode, peopel get the option to force you to speak, grope you or I believe spank you.

The good - interesting gag system, simple menus, decent options, timer
The bad - lack of faux blindfold,
The terrible - I AM DOLLY button.

Moving on - Adding Furniture to the blog

Obvious my lack of reviews should be noticed by anyone who looks here more than once a month. Mostly this is down to certain RL things, as well as lack of motivation due to lack of new gear that catches my eye and I enjoy. Not to say I don't have any good pieces to review, but.. Nothing amazing.

Tomorrow I will review a normal restraint, then starting monday will mvoe onto Furniture. Obviously I'll need to make some minor adjustments to the scoring for it, as furniture tends to be slightly less functional with a higher price tag in my experiance.

There will be some teething, but at least I will be updating again.

Aria

Updates!

Sorry for the delay, RL has being rather hectic this past month and has made getting posts out rather difficult. So to start.. New Relea...
