Very cool and unique!

Is this available for AIO dolls soon too or just the stand-alone heads to begin with?

Amazing feature. After getting Nonoka the main thing I often think is "I wish I could make her smile". Glad to see future owners of #22 will get to experience that, guess my timing was just poor :3

Although expressions are much more then just the mouth, hope to see more advances that allows the dolls to be much more expressive in the future.

Nice innovation!

Looks great.
Are these new heads with moveable mouth oral capable?

Do the new heads have tongues attached (or removable)?

How much do they cost/how can they be ordered?

In case this was lost in the thread

Adjustable mouth +$60.00 on a few of the heads. https://sanhuiofficial.com/sanhui-silic ... -page.html Scroll down to the heads they are at the end.
Removable tongue?

So how does the adjustable mouth actually work? Does it have a movable jaw? Wires? Joints? What make it adjustable? How adjustable? As in open and close? Smile? Maybe a demostration video?

It's a fine addition. Next, the ability to smile or frown. Gotta start somewhere.

add some jaw line movements, and buyers would be able to create these facial distortions...

Total Agree. 50% of expression is in the face. That's a lot to exclude in a character. Moving eyelids .. moving eyebrows .. moving jaw and mouth .. these are all important to create the look of expression.

This is my Nadia using MannequinFan's eyelids (I helped him develop it for my doll manufacturer).

Its from this cartoon series:

You need moving facial parts to create realism .. and that's what people want in a doll partner .. a better facsimile of a human companion. The WORST things are lifeless featureless faces .. uncanny valley galore.

Hi Mike,

Great news about the new feature!
A question, which head is demonstrated in the video that you posted?

Also wanted to let you know that for whatever reason, the link to
head #31 seems to be dead/non-working.

Will this new feature eventually be available on the older doll heads
such as the Adeline and Severine ones and others?

Sincerely,
Chuk
