Articulated fingers?

Post by taylormayd »

After buying a second silicone doll from an asian manufacturer (Dollsweet), I looked back at my Realdoll2 (2020) and realized that her hands are not fully articulated. I didn't even realize that was possible until I received my Dollsweet, which has amazing hands that can be posed in any position.

As realistic and pretty as my Realdoll is, I have to admit that now that I've experienced a doll with fully articulated, beautifully sculpted fingers, I look at my Realdoll's hands in disappointment every time I see her now. They cannot really be posed in any meaningful way, and they don't feel realistic. Additionally, they are a bit too big to be a woman's hands. Women have very thin, delicate hands which is expressed beautifully on my Dollsweet, but in comparison, the hands on my Realdoll are too thick and wide.

So I have to ask - did I just get a Realdoll without these articulated fingers through my own misfortune, or was this an option that I failed to select somehow, or has Realdoll never actually done proper, fully articulated fingers on their dolls? Abyss has done a lot of great things with their dolls, but the hands, if my experience is standard, are one area they are clearly lacking in.

Realdoll has never offered those type of hands. And I do agree that the RD hands are on the larger side, specially the body A IMO…

That is not completely true. They did have articulated fingers as an option for a while but stopped doing it - I think around the time they introduced Duracast hands and feet. I did ask about this in one of your videos you did on the factory floor, i think with Mike or Jeff. They said that it was possible to make a special order and they would look at doing it but it was no longer a stock option.

I have never seen a doll or heard of a doll with articulating fingers, cat. I did see a mechanical hand they tried to cover with silicone , but the silicone couldn’t take the movement without tearing or splitting at the joints. And yes, RD can give you articulating fingers or really anything you want, but it’s going to cost you…

So... along these lines, if I wanted to order a Body C with gel implants in the ass, would that be possible as an extra option for more money?

Yes, the cost would be prohibitive at $35-50k as RD would have to create a completely new body mold to accommodate the gels. And they might have to change the pelvic skeleton size to keep the same body measurement’s, which would have to entail some R&D on the parts from their vendors. Which would add, I have to think another 20-30k to the over all price. That body mold is very thin and there would have to be a lot of engineering to keep that form, with gels added. Everything below the waist would have to change….

Along with the price tag on this project, it would take 12-15 months to complete. This is all an estimate, could take longer or cost less or more. But I think l am in the ball park on it.

Wow. I didn't realize something seemingly simple like butt gels would entail so much work.

Definitely not worth it!

On another note, is it possible to get a Body C with 2x breast enhancement rather than just 1x? If so, how much extra is that?

If I were you I would give them a call instead of asking here. In my experience they are happy to help with quotes for whatever you want be that articulated fingers or boob implants. They do not have a reputation for being cheap but they can let you know what your options will cost you.

Here is the contact details, so you can phone, send a mail or live chat with them.

PS: Let us know what they quote you, especially for the fingers as i think a lot of people will want to know.

It is a good idea to call and ask about the pricing and availability of your modifications. And on a technical note. I highly recommend NOT getting a breast enhancement on the Body C. The smaller the breasts the firmer they come out with enhancement. I dont think they offer an enhancement on the C, because of the firmer issue. A double on the C would come out hard, like cue balls on her chest. But they might do it for you. The cost the last time I looked was $850 for 1 enhancement. On that body I don't think the would chance a double. But money talks and bullshit walks........good luck, Brother!

Sounds about right, Brick. It's such a shame that the Body C can't look more like a real Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. I love tall (5'10"+) women, but I also love them with nice B/C cup breasts, like the girls that pose for SI Swimsuit edition. I wish Abyss would re-design the Body C to look more like that and less like an anorexic fashion model, but I know that's not happening any time soon. Oh well.

Agreed with catlikederek. It is easier to contact Abyss directly to get information. I am an Abyss Affiliated, but I don't get more information than regular realdoll owners.

I contacted Abyss for the articulated fingers, I will keep everyone updated. In any case, articulated fingers are quickly becoming industry standard these days.

Note that years ago Upsux got his Taylor a Body-C up sized but just a single +. I sorta remember another Body-C that was +1, but I'm sure she was on CRD, and since Abyss did away with all historic info when they killed CRD I have no way to look :(

Hey 0osik

I am thinking Taylor (right) was not up sized. His Mia (left) had the same face (Victoria?) but on a Body A - Mia looks up sized a cup from C to D.
