Re: 1 Year Review of the TB Deluxe Swivel... and its not good :/
1 Instead of the really tiny safety pin, use 4 velcro patches to attach the wig to the doll, in the front sides and the back, so the wig does not fall off or flop over. I had that system on a latex doll I had, which developed a leak and became unusable. I have never had any real breakage that rendered a Teddy Babe doll unusable!
2) As suggested move the vaginal opening down to match where real women have their vaginas. Same with the anal opening and expand the size of that.
3 Perhaps the designers should go to their CAD workstations and do some redesigning and have some male volunteers do some Ahem! use testing on Teddy Babes prototypes! I am sure there will be no problem recruiting volunteers!
Thank you.

I wish TBDs would be constructed like Happy Dolls with a real skeleton and not those discs. They'd be posable and you don't bump into the discs.

Perhaps you could hire me on to handle product testing while you relax in the office. I realize that testing a product of this type can be quite demanding but I'm confident that I could rise to the occasion.Missionary wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 1:39 am Don't wait for me I am way too old to run a business. I 've done that, been there, but would love to do the product development testing.

Girlfriends are for guys who haven't found the right doll yet.
I feel much better now that I've given up hope.

Yes thanks, I remember I have seen that years ago. But I'm lazy, I'd much rather buy that from 8th Wonder after they change their technology to something that finally makes sense.Mr Franz wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 5:31 amOld thread where a member made an articulated skeleton for his TB. viewtopic.php?t=78483DocMoriarty wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 12:03 amI wish TBDs would be constructed like Happy Dolls with a real skeleton and not those discs.

I doubt that will ever happen, but you never know I suppose. I had planned to add articulation to my VG project, but ultimately I decided I liked it better without. So I just stiffening the legs and forearms a bit. Less floppy, but feels more natural to cuddle now. TB's are configured a bit different though. Might lend itself to articulation a little better. I wouldn't mind experimenting with one if I could find a used one cheap.DocMoriarty wrote: ↑Fri Sep 29, 2023 6:51 amYes thanks, I remember I have seen that years ago.

I've always wanted a new one, however the hips and butt are just to small. I'd love a pear shaped TB with some major junk in the trunk!
B.S.
I was once told "that's not possible", so I went out and did the impossible.
I fell in love with a doll...

What about wig caps? Did you try that before settling on the velcro?jamesparker5734 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 2:49 pm Three quick notes

It's a cap that you wear under a wig that prevents the wig from sliding. Just search on Amazon for wig cap and you'll see.

Hell, most of the wigs I've ordered off Amazon have come with caps for free.DocMoriarty wrote: ↑Fri Oct 20, 2023 11:13 pmIt's a cap that you wear under a wig that prevents the wig from sliding. Just search on Amazon for wig cap and you'll see.

Or maybe I should make a more detailed new thread that asks all of my specific questions and folks can weigh in?
