I am really stuck on this doll and if I don't get her now I will get her next. Really awesome sculpting, the videos look hot.
The only thing missing (for me) is a great kiss head.
It's not a complex formula. I have a great example in Abyss original RD1 mid size heads. I discovered this capability by experimentation and was blown away by it. Dolls that don't have it (my AI) or can't replicate it (my BoyToy) are less fun.
I had Matt work on this with the Summer face. He did an excellent job on the closed channel but the doll jaw got hung up on the neck. I considered cutting it but that would've destroyed the resale value.
The reason the RD1 face works so well for kissing is:
(1) Mouth ability to open about a finger and a half wide without force. The head/face and skull design (mobile lower jaw that doesn't get hung up) allows this to happen easily.
(2) Mobile (not fixed) tongue that has space enough to move in the opened mouth. The mid to large size RD faces work awesome for this.
(3) Vacuum , so you need an oral cavity with a closed end.
Here's some of Patrick's thoughts:
I'm not sure you'd have to resculpt anything as long as the doll construction allows the mouth to open (see above). It's no secret Abyss has a hinge on the lower jaw which on the RD1 allows it to open (on my Boy Toy it hung up on the neck, no way to change it without cutting something). They have a semi open mouth design you have on yours.Patrick:
Hi, thanks so much! I think that the Eden head would lend itself best to the addition of a movable/removable tongue. Let me know which face suits you and we'll see if we can make that happen. I'm at a show right now so may be a bit slow to reply. Have a fantastic day! P
Only the faerie and Hope heads have closed mouths. I believe our heads are known for their oral capabilities. (such good girls)...if Hope is on your short list , I could always resculpt the lower half of the mouth with it more open(with removable tongue) and then make a new mold of it. I'm beginning to make variations on the faces like this.
Best, patrick
After seeing the videos, threads, galleries, etc. I'm completely obsessed now with the PIB and R13. I think the only cure is to somehow get one of each.
