The Doll Forum

I have a 50% deposit from a buyer via Paypal and am waiting for his money order to arrive for the balance of the asking price. Unless something unforseen comes up, Svetlana 2 is sold. Thanks to all that inquired.

See the post in the For Sale Forum.

I have added some new photos of Svetlana 2 that I took tonight, so you can see the condition she is in, which is excellent.

A member asked for some pictures showing her bottom, so I thought I probably should take some new photos of her, so folks can see what the new Svetlana looks like after Abyss replaced her. http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/thumbnails.php?album=1846 http://www.dollalbum.com/dollgallery/albums/user...

I have edited my initial post to answer some of the questions people have posted.

Due to some recent changes in my financial situation I am selling my doll Svetlana II (Pay cuts at work). For those of you who are wondering whether she still has a broken back as I posted back a number of months ago, Abyss replaced her completely, so this is a completely new doll. She is in excelle...

As promised, here are the photos showing what I was talking about above.

Well, I found the source of Svetlana's back problem. The way the back is constructed there are a series of pvc pipes and metal plugs that connect pipe joints to the next pipe (This will make more sense when I post photos a little later). It appears that one of two things failed, so the pipe that for...

I have e-mailed Abyss, so hopefully I will hear from them in the next day or two with some info on what might be the problem. Svetlana has a nice incision going from the top of her bottom to just short of the neck bolt as I worked my way up from the pelvis trying to find the problem. The silicone sk...

I have opened up Svetlana's spine. I have found that her broken back is not a break at the joint of the pelvis and spine as I had expected. That looks solid and well built. It looks like what has happened is the pvc pipe that makes up her spine has come loose inside the foam core that makes up her c...

I have some good news. Upon further examination it looks like Svetlana's hip may be okay. I think it just looked dislocated and sounded like it because of the broken connection between the spine a pelvis. I still may open her hip just to make sure since as long as she is in surgery for her spine, I ...

I made the mistake of ordering a dress that used sparkles with Svetlana I. It was a paid to clean her up afterwards, so I learned from that mistake. Here is how I cleaned her up Use a vaccuum first to try to get any sparkles off her that haven't adhered. Adhesive lint rollers quickly lose their effe...

It does make you realize how complex the human skeleton is and how difficult it is to replicate it with any durability within the bounds of reasonable cost and reasonable weight though. It's sad though that all these hips and backs especially seem to have problems, but I guess part of it is just tha...

It's ironic, but later the same night that I reported Svetlana was fine, I was doing a rather simple test pose that I was going to photograph on my bed and post here. While I was posing her, I heard two pops similar to ones I had heard on the Svetlana I. I did some checking and her left hip came loo...

Hello Everyone, Shortly after Svetlana II arrived, we had a round of layoffs at my work, which I survived, but it has been insanely busy for those of us that were left. As a result, I have had little time to work on the new hanging frame I wanted to use for photos. Things have slowed down a bit now ...
