The Doll Forum

Welcome! You may want to consider how much weight you're willing to carry. Additionally, consider storage, height of doll, style of doll (ie realistic, fantasy, anime, etc). material of doll (Silicone, TPE, fabric being some of the major categories), maintenance (Does the skin need oiling, powdering...

For most of the clothing, I run the tests typically after a wash cycle (machine wash delicate in lingerie bags) and then low heat tumble dry. This is sometimes on items that might mention hand wash and air dry. I find that sometimes items might retain color when handwashing since I don't spend that ...

I had the loose arm issue as well on a 160cm anime deluxe. I posted up a fix on it, but it does require some sewing (which it seems would be fine based on the costume alteration). The arm feels just as good as new if not better in terms of movement. No wobble at all. On mine it loosened so much that...

Hmm, that's interesting. I wonder if the metal post is for the Dagmar when ordered with a silicone head. For the anime head Dagmar, maybe there is just the zipper and cloth that cover over the soft padded neck. I think it was mentioned that the cloth is sewn on the Dagmar at the neck even though it ...

Size on the silver is a medium (keep in mind that the sizes are Japanese size, so the size scale is a bit offset compared to US sizes). The silver one I have is a n-008sh medium in silver. If the butt coverage is a normal back, they refer to as an 'n' model of a product. A 't' prefix will indicate a...

What is meant by higher color saturation? Colors that have lots of pigments. For example, white would have no additional color. Black, royal blue, burgundy, fire engine red are some examples of high saturation. Light pink, light blue, and pastel colors would be colors with low color saturation. Now...

Here is a higher color saturation bikini from Wicked Temptations. If their item isn't listed as a Wicked Temptations original, then it is by another manufacturer and sold by them. If I recall, their items begin with the WT prefix on the item #. Wear time was about 1 month with a couple of blankets a...

Agreed. I like them as well. I certainly wish they made women's dresses with leg splits that high. Hmmmm, I guess they do: For a dress with high slits, you might be looking for the term "maxi dress". There is also gowns / dresses like this one http://www.wickedtemptations.com/standard-siz...

@ Diaval BTW, when you ordered your doll, did you ask Joy if the doll's skin could be replaced if it gets stained, tears, etc? I would think so since I have heard many say that her skin has a zipper on the back. In fact, could take a picture of her back? I want to see the zipper. There were some out...

Also, be sure to check for issues of color transfer from the stocking as well if going with high color saturation (vivid or deep colored red, black, blue, etc). I recently had some black color from a swimsuit string bleed onto the Dagmar skin. I used a Shout laundry stick to get some of the stain ou...

I got around to fixing Sena's elbow (160cm Anime Deluxe fabric doll) a little while back and did a photo log of the process http://dollforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=90504 . Doing the leg repair would be harder since there is more stitching to undo. Shoulder might be a bit easier, especiall...

I did the repair on the 160cm anime deluxe frame for the loose arm on Sena. Joint is good as new, maybe even better than new after tightening and adding in a washer under the nut against the metal frame. Here's the thread for anyone looking at how to repair the elbow on fabric anime dolls of the sam...

(continued part 2)

(Picture steps continued)

I finally got around to repairing the loose arm on my 160cm fabric anime deluxe doll. The steps should be the same for the fabric Dagmar doll (which I also own, but is not in need of an arm repair). Probably applicable to the 135cm/140cm/160cm variants of: Fabric Anime Doll Fabric Anime Deluxe Doll ...
