Detachable Body

Has anyone gotten the detachable body/legs by 6YE?

And also looks like the 165 N.. with good LHP maybe?

Would you get this? And how would you protect the skeleton from water damage when cleaning?

Sponge bath on a towel for the body
Sitting on a toilet chair over a bucket using an irrigator for the tunnels

I would want something like this at the mid torso level - so like, hips and legs as one piece, and chest/arms/head as another

(Of course, in silicone/Not TPE, with perfect LHP, flexible skeleton, all dream options blah blah blah)

This is an interesting concept

One thing I would be worried about is properly aligning the detachable limbs when re-attaching them.

Yeah looks like there is a perma seam that always shows up.
But it is still a pretty cool idea for those that do not have lots of room to store a full sized doll

Well, what I actually meant is when you re-attach, you don't want the foot/leg to be sideways or backwards once completely tightened.

Why not? You do not like deformed looking people with there feet facing the wrong way? lol

Looks like they are using the same or similar quick connection used on the heads. Can be continuously rotated until properly oriented. But probably won't be locked into a position.

While those quick connects are handy for the heads, I don't think I'd want to be engaged in the missionary position with a snap together doll with these connections, and suddenly have her leg fall off. That would be quite a buzz kill.

As would be holding onto her leg oh, just getting you're the best part of blowing your load and suddenly find your holding a leg in your hand.

It's an interesting concept but I would certainly like to see some sort of orientation lock, as well as a connection then what seems to be Illustrated in the picture.

I want a doll that's easy to hide and stash, so my next one is def going to be a 6YE with detachable legs.
The seams are of little importance to me. They are also easy to hide by thigh high boots or stockings.

They should also make the arms detachable.

This is certainly a good idea particularly for larger dolls to assist in moving them. Also for those who want to store their dolls away in a confined space. More options are always good! Also a good alternative to some of the other weight reduction techniques like hard foam. This is the kind of innovative thinking the industry needs.

It might be good to have some padded 'caps' for the arms and legs so you could leave it in a 'torso' configuration. Will like to see where they take this as there are a lot of possibilities. Like if they could come up with a way to make the seams less visible or good, idiot proof connectors.

Yeah that's what I was thinking. If the limbs were screwed on (which would reduce chance of them falling off) then the doll and limbs would need plastic washers or large thin discs on each so that it provides a smooth surface instead of sticky TPE rubbing against each other causing damage over time. That would increase the seam though.

Overall though i'm really excited about where this line of thinking is going with the detachable limbs and the seams really aren't that bad and could be easily covered with bands or stockings.
