Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
The delivery year is when the doll was delivered to the original owner.
Second-hand purchased dolls can be entered in the poll, but only if you know for certain the doll was originally delivered in a certain year.
Boytoy Dolls can be entered too, as they're basically from the same maker.
18 options can be chosen, I hope that's enough for our multi-Realdoll owning members.
Please fill in the poll honestly.

Re: Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
It would be interesting to see if certain body types are more prone to this as well. Its also not just applicable to Real Dolls, it would seem most if not all high end dolls with finger wires are prone to this damage.

Re: Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
I just voted, I checked the boxes for 2013-2012-2010 no finger pokes.
But with 5 dolls, 4 wickeds and 1 RD1 I'm glad you can check multiple options.

Re: Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
Only 6 months and 4 of the fingers are ripped up.
At the end of the wire swages are exposed razor sharp strands.
The first time I got stabbed by a wire I was not too happy.
With all respect to the master craft persons and genius design and work of art:
I am perplexed because when it comes to preparing the wires they decide to give the village idiot a go at it.
After all that goes into the preparation of creating a RD, why do they assign finger wires to the retard?
If the wire protrudes from the end of the swage, it must be trimmed. If it is still sharp, then you must apply solder and then file to a smooth finish.
Please don't tell me you refuse to use solder because of some ridiculous California environmental regulation.
Now I have to open and finish all the wire ends and attempt to restore all 10 fingers, and buy another tube of expensive Silpoxy.
Sorry about the insults, but the QA is weak in the finger wire department. A $6000.00 product, attention to detail is important.
Otherwise, RDs are awesome and I'm a happy customer.

Re: Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
I only had one finger poke with Brittany and that was only because I wasn't paying attention as I was posing her and finger was pushing against the bed. So i do know how finger pokes can happen but some of the pokes I've seen lately have been really bad...

Re: Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
Dollarhide is right, I´m sure I would have been able to avoid most if not all pokes if I would have been more careful and if I would have been aware of the problem of finger pokes at all when I got Brigitte.
I was so dumb not be a forum member so it was pure trial and error handling my Brigitte right from the start. As she is my first doll I just didn´t pay attention to her fingers when carrying her around which I do a lot. I´v learned to fix them with Silpoxy, but I learned to pay attention to her fingers so it hardly ever happens.
If someone is aware of the problem and is as careful as he should I´m sure you´ll get away without finger pokes even if you use your doll a lot.
I´m pretty sure that I´d be able to avoid them all together with a new doll. I can just pity my cute Brigitte and assure her that I do love her still and that every poke, scar, mark or defect just makes her unique and special and that she´s not a bit less attractive to me.
Guess we are an old couple already,

Life may not be what you want but it will be what you make it.

I ordered a doll from a different manufacturer recently and specifically requested not to have the wires because of finger poke concerns.

Re: Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
Some folks are going to participate who never do anything really drastic movement wise with their dolls so never get pokes, which will throw things out a bit for the poll.

If you don't want finger wires, this can be requested, and they'll create the doll for you without them.AirDollPlushDoll wrote:I have seen some brands of silicone dolls with no wires in the hands. the fingers are some what floppy but I think I like that idea better than skeletons in the hands that finger poke. I would assume others have seen the high end dolls with no skeletons in the hands right? I wonder if real doll will ever get rid of the finger skeletons. I would rather they not have them in the hands when I get mine.
So far, the poll is pretty much the same through the years, which I kinda expected, because as you say, not all people use their doll the same way.Fenrisulfr wrote:I've used my Boytoy for quite a bit of photography, it's not the dressing/undressing that's been the problem but altering her positions, such as turning her over on the bed. A slight brush is all it takes.

This is something I would recommend Abyss make standard practice with all their dolls, it would save a lot of grief.

Re: Poll regarding Finger Pokes on Realdolls and Boytoys.
In my case, this little problem was due to my inexperience in handling her.
Loly is my first realdoll.
But problem was resolved by pulling the thumb and putting a few drops of "silicone repair kit" inside hurt.
Just be careful to raise hands when moving the doll, to have no problems.
