Pros and Cons
Other pros and cons to consider that haven’t been mentioned above.
Pros
- Kupra has the benefits of defined curves while also lending itself to slimmer shapes if desired.
- While the body can be worn all as one piece, using separate hands or feet is easy if needed. Simply use the Full Body to wear it all at once and the Body to wear it with no hands or feet. Separate hands and feet are included too.
- The body actually comes with three different feet options. The original is the regular Kupra foot option. T02 fits Slink shoes and T03 fits Maitreya shoes. Note that any non-Kupra shoes you have that go beyond the ankle may not quite work since at that point you are getting into the body shape.
- The lack of alpha cuts in the HUD encourages designers to make their own alphas for each product. This means they can make clothing that fits in any way and isn’t limited to preset cuts.
Cons
- The breasts do not scale down very well. Once you get into smaller sized they go flat. If you prefer a petite chest check out their version for smaller breasts and flat chests called Kupra Kups!

I do not own this body. It appears to be nice from the photos. Is a demo available? Since there is no creators supporting it at this time you would be nude and the body would stay in adult areas or a private box. For this reason they should have considered offering it at a deeper discount to introduce it.
There is a demo! You can get it at their marketplace store or their in world location. The in world store has been super packed though so it’ll be tricky to get in if you’re looking to do so today (and possibly through the weekend).
There are actually a fair amount of creators already supporting it. I’ll be doing a bigger post on the body shortly, but they already have support from names such as Vanilla Bae, Renegade, Ramen, Worldwide, Sweet Tart, Signal, Sibella, Memoire, IYF, Misfit, and more. Their discord has third party designers sharing their work as well for easy browsing. For a body that’s only been around for 2 days it has quite a lot of support.
The body is actually already being sold at a very deep discount. The full price is 3,999 and the discount price is 2,520. that’s roughly 37% off for a body that already has a variety of clothing options and is compatible with most of the shoes in people’s closets.
I went over this AM and purchased the body. Easy to work with. I’m happy with her. Got shoes for Slink feet to work well and there are some nice starter clothes in the box. Needs alphas though. This is my mod. https://www.flickr.com/photos/colleen_criss/50514273651/in/dateposted-public/
Thank you for the tip!
You’re welcome, and you look amazing! I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying it. I’ve been playing with the body today too and having a blast. It’s nice to unpack my Slink shoes again!
I’m not sure if they’ll include HUD alphas or not, but currently staff have been recommending either making your own alphas or purchasing some. They’ve been recommending Loki Alphas Mega Pack both in their group and in their discord. It can be found here: https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Loki-Alphas-Mega-Pack/10582575
A lot of designers will include alphas with their clothing though. I think I’ve only run into one that hasn’t so far from my purchases.
Brought this mesh body yesterday and I have to say I am very impressed. The hud is very user friendly and you can adjust the body shape easily and it even works better with body enhancers like the Body Thickner from Must Trade store. Better than the Legacy in my opinion.
I am looking forward to seeing what other developers can come up with ideas this new mesh body.
I’m definitely looking forward to seeing what designers bring out, too!If you’re not already in their Discord make sure to join. They have a third party ad channel that makes it so easy to browse new things.
can anyone give me the link to the real body
Here is the marketplace link for you!

I was curious if there are lady bits for this body, and what brands?
Currently none are officially out specifically for Kupra, but some people in the Discord have mentioned the Sking vagina works well with it. I’ve also heard rumors that Kupra will be developing their own lady bits. Unrigged ones may work too, such as VAW’s XTC Unrigged version. I’d highly recommend demoing anything you consider, though. There’s also rumors other adult companies are planning to design specific ones for it as well. It’s still pretty early (body has been out for a week) but time will tell!
