The Doll Forum

Very nice work. When I was still making dolls (married now), I used either cosmetology styling heads (hair already attached) or foam head wig stands with a plastic face overlay. Plenty to find on eBay.

Might be easier to get wood ball knobs (cabinet pulls) from hardware stores or on line. They already have a hole drilled into them. Don't forget the Q-angle (quadriceps): Women's femurs tilt inward 15 deg. Gluing the PVC is unnecessary. Put a wood screw through the sections where joined. This will b...

A suit like that (from ActiveWear4U) is what I put over the wetsuit. https://www.activewear4u.com sounds all very interesting . although not made really strong and durable , i had always though someone getting a full body latex suite would be the best thing to make a blow up or fiber filled doll. an...

Looking at the price, it might be easier to buy a decent second-hand doll here.

One thing to watch for is the Q-angle (https://www.physio-pedia.com/%27Q%27_Angle), which describes the ...

What I used (before I got married and had a reason to toss the DIY dolls) was a lady's diving wet suit.

How did you modify the wet suit ? Only a cut in the crotch to accommodate a Fleshlight or other insert. Breasts (silicone forms with straps) were glued (It Stays glycerine) to the zentai-type body suit that covered the wet suit. I'm about to experiment with Velcro on the wet suit and inside the zen...

Nice work -- a lot like what I've done in the past building with pool noodles and a wet suit.

And what is the insert like? Can it easily be replaced with other materials (fabrics, etc.)?

Very nice. Were there any import duties or fees? Or hassle?

Perhaps because Resusci Anne is based on the face of a woman who drowned in the Seine in the late 1880s.

I tried adapting one, but it didn't quite work (not that I'm all that skilled).

More like a semi-inflatable.

On the Roxy jointed mannequin: Suggest a lady's wetsuit first, then a Zentai suit. The wetsuit will provide a softer skin and let you fill the joints with a bit of padding. Pity the legs are not as articulated as the shoulders.

Gee. Darn. Golly. Gee whiz.

Just missed an RD finally in my price range.
