Letha Revived
Letha Revived
Sadly some of the dolls were damaged over the course of the research. One survived until today but she has much cracking and tearing in the breast area. As an effort to preserve Letha I made the decision to remove the damaged breast material and attach inflatable breasts from a set of costume breasts. It worked but the replacements were softer material and had a tendency to overinflate before pressure could increase in the main body. So research ended for years.
Recently I have had the resources to revive the project and have acquired an inflatable breast form which may work well with the existing Letha body. Still have some details to work out as Letha is slimmer than the breast form is designed to fit. For now I submit for your review Letha Revived.
Height: 71 inches
Bust: 102 inches
Waist: 43 inches
Hips: 56 inches
Breast Circumference: 60 inches
Re: Letha Revived
how is the texture of the silicone forms vs the original latex? is there any difference between when stretching the original latex of the doll vs the silicone?

Sorry if I sound a bit weird. Just hyped to see a massively overinflated balloon gal again. XD

Awesome stuff - " phil0001" -
I some how missed this post, the "Latex Air Babe section" is sadly so dormant these days I almost never check
So glad your Letha is still around my Letha blew out some time ago, however I still have her less endowed sister "Latex Lady"
Sadly most of my latex inflata babes have become memories after soooo many years unlike vinyl - latex gives up the ghost although with the Hungarian Inflata Babes imported by ole "Doc Johnson" in the early 2000's being the best of the lot as the French Lassies not so much
Hey after 20+ years not too bad "phil0001"
Stay inflated

Re: Letha Revived
Howdy right back at you!
I totally get what you're saying about missing posts in the "Latex Air Babe section." It's a bummer when a favorite forum section doesn't see much action. I remember the days when it was all the rage. Kinda like how certain fashion trends make a comeback, I'm holding out hope that this section will too. Speaking of trends, have you noticed how sexy leggings have made such a stealthy comeback? They're everywhere now, but in such a subtle way, it's like they never left.
It's cool to hear that your Letha is still in the game. Sorry to hear about your other Letha, though. Ah, the stories of Latex Lady and the other inflata babes, huh? They really do become like old friends over the years. It's a shame about the latex ones, though. Vinyl just seems to have more endurance. And yeah, those Hungarian Inflata Babes were something else! Quality stuff, unlike some others.
You've got some serious staying power, hanging onto these memories and pieces for over 20 years. Here's to staying inflated and keeping those good times rolling!

Thanks and welcome aboard - "johnlewis1" -
You are very right about this board section being a beehive of activity back in the day
Sadly the cost of making Latex dolls just got too expensive, and other factors as well; doomed these Latex air babes to the history books
The French Lassies {DOMAX} where hands down the best looking of the lot, bar none - what an amazing line of air babes - but sadly the owner/ operator got sick and the operation ceased - talk of a buyer never materialized and just like that its all sweet memories of the French Lassies
NMC/ NANMA - CONBO - also jumped into the fray with a synthetic Latex design that inflated nice and big and was soft to the touch - they were design wise initially not so good with some design defects - but later they came out with some winners (can't recommend them now) - as you see the air dolls skin breaks down over time and even if you found one now a days - she would be a mess.......
The good ole "Doc Johnson" imports design was the best - they had a Hungarian factory make those air babes and they were large and in charge - inflated super big super soft and all action with them -
However they weren't perfect and design limitations especially in their feet caused them to literally burst down there and over time a thinning of the latex from repeated inflation/ deflation would also doom them to pop as well in other areas - not sure why Letha popped quicker, whereas the Latex Lady would live on longer I can only guess that the Latex Lady was a later production make and maybe they perfected the construction
No mater I am down to just a less than a single hand of Latex Inflata Babes - from what at one time was a Harem & time isn't on there side
PVC vinyl can last a wee bit longer - but the more you use them the less they last, and most use them & hard - so they pop much sooner versus Latex which can last a wee bit longer initially - but again realistic expectation and care and most air dolls can last some time latex or vinyl
Best of luck "johnlewis1" -
Stay inflated
Re: Letha Revived
I didn't know these breast forms could inflate like that. Which one is it and how much did it cost.phil0001 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 11:09 pm The silicone forms feel a bit sticky compared to the latex. I can slide my hand easily over any part of Letha and the silicone has friction by comparison. This Letha is probably 15 years old plus however long she may have been in a box before I got her. All the Letha dolls I used were new off the store shelf no prior owners. As to stretch the silicone stretches evenly during inflation, remaining spherical up to 74 inches circumference (see next Letha post). That's about 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) starting from 13 inches (33 cm). The silicone forms are very soft and wobbly at inflation size. Pretty much a sphere but there's maybe 6.5 pounds (3 kg) of material per breast which does distort the shape a little. Total weight was advertised as 10 kilograms which works out to 22.4 lbs.
