The Doll Forum

The frame I made to hang Svetlana for photos was made out of galvanized perforated square tube. Some hardware stores carry it like Ace Hardware, but you may have to order it through their in-store catalog if they don't stock it. I also used some corner brace plates where I had any perpendicular angl...

Litlluvr Svetlana's stairway mishap wasn't from posing her, it was early in my ownership of her and before I knew how to carry her really well. I lost my balance with her near the top of a staircase, and had to let her go to avoid us both going down the stairs. That broke her skull from her neck. I ...

Well, I finally got off the fence and ordered a new doll. After much hmming and hawing, I finally decided that I would like to get a new Svetlana. For those of you not familiar with Svetlana the 1st the following link will take you to her pictures. http://www.dollalbum.com/gallery/svetlana?page=1 Th...

Yeah, I had seen the post on the date of the 27th. I figured that was a hoped for date rather than set in stone date though. If it was in stone, I think there would have been a mention on the current Realdoll website announcing it. Web site launches often run into snags as the attempt to go live is ...

With Abyss off until the 2nd, I would not be surprised if we don't see it live until they are all back at work, so if it spurs some orders or questions there are folks there to answer the phones/e-mail.

Technoguy does bring up a valid point of discussion, but it isn't just relative to Realdolls. As with any product with a relatively new and small specialty market, the products will require considerable handcrafting for several reasons. First there isn't a large enough market to make profitable use ...

Mahtek,
Is it a sign of trouble when mistletoe isn't enough and you have to give the girls roofie egg nogs?

Come on guys you can land a mail-order bride from SE Asia for less than the cost of a Realdoll in all likelihood...lol. Note: I am clowning around here. I know that some of the girls that do that are forced into it by their families or organized criminal elements and that is really abhorrent, so I a...

The Russian production of Solaris and Westworld are on Turner Classic Movies every so often, so you might want to keep an eye out on their programming schedule.

Here is a possible solution for Imogin's breast issue. If you can smooth her chest out with a fill job, Frederick's of Hollywood sells falsies of various sizes that are made of silicone that you could glue to her chest. http://www.fredericks.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=Holiday2002&category%5F...

Abyss will not do intentional look-alikes. Regardless of what you offer. However you can usually find a face, makeup, and wig that are close.

This topic may have already been broached, but in light of the vandalism of your doll, did they catch the kids that did it? If so, they should have to make restitution as part of any court action (Pay for professional repairs or replace if unrepairable). Did you have homeowner's or renter's insuranc...

Well it makes sense to get the new site up before tax refunds start coming in to folks' hands. I imagine a lot of folks use their tax refund to pay part of the cost of their doll, so you would want to put your best face forward for that. Also, while some folks are broke after the Holidays, some folk...

You know it's funny, but it seems that you almost have to have a surgical license, a mechanics certification, and a chemical engineering degree to own a Realdoll and keep it maintained. I wonder sometimes whether a mojority of us would spend several thousand more for a more durable doll that is high...

If I remember right the cost of a custom mold done by Abyss was several 10's of thousands of dollars. Rights fees for a planned duplicate of a real person would likely be very expensive. Mainstream folks would likely never agree regardless of the fee, and adult stars, who would be more likely to agr...
