The Doll Forum

How does one do Twitter for doll news research? Thanks I follow users like Mizuwali, DollToChina1, HGDoll_Shannon, and several reviewers across the world some from the US, some from Mexico, some from Japan. Then on your feed you get any new dolls that hit the stores, like the new Zelex or the newes...

They've had a few new ones in the last half-year, but the faces were too cute to allow on TDF, in spite of some genuinely earth-shattering boobs seamlessly attached. I pretty much get all my doll news on Twitter anymore, no bans there (very amusing, considering...) and you get a wider range of peopl...

Created a new account subbed to some of the vendors I buy from, hopefully DS doesn't block me for whatever reason again...

She kinda looks upset. Idk.

Far more interested in the 171 A-cup Hedy myself, but I'm very glad you carry them all. That is one of my "someday" dolls.

This is why I use pure, pharmaceutical grade mineral oil/white oil instead of baby oil. Its safe to consume and people use it for oiling cutting boards etc. Coupled with cornflour instead of talc, it should make it safer. Exactly, food grade mineral oil is cheap by the gallon, and all my ladies get...

Interesting that dolls still have hard internal foam. The recent silicone doll I bought, first in years (had a terribly designed skeleton) but the skeleton was cast in some soft closed-cell silicone rubber foam, then that all was cast in a silicone "skin" ~1cm thick over the entire doll. I...

Do you find a certain type of sponge works better? And should I get mineral oil or am I ok with any oil, some are saying it can be harmful? The sponges I use are just baby sponges that are quite soft. You don't want to scrub, just wipe gently. I tore the plastic backing off of these so I can use bo...

I used to experience some pilling like that. I've switched to using a sacrificial cloth on a table, and a small soft sponge with mineral oil. Drizzle mineral oil on the sponge end, and use it to repeatedly wipe in one direction till it's dirty, then wipe it off on the cloth to clean it and re-apply ...

Only in the doll world can a doll maker , make a doll, then sell it and know that it has problems. Yeah I had that experience fully this year. Now I am learning TIG welding and methods to weld in a very confined space inside an opened silicone doll... Of the 7 other dolls I own I've never had serio...

I guess what I'd be most interested in is if the knee skeleton is truly evo / capable of bending 180 degrees or not, and if the elbows also stop at 90 or go further? Some manufacturers try to use the excuse that silicone cannot stretch to 180 on a knee, and yet Realdoll has been doing that for the b...

It looks like the fingers do not have bones. Are the hands articulated? I love all the details you put on the dolls. I would like to know how they last for long term times. About the skeleton, correct me if I’m wrong, I’ve seen somewhere that they are articulated as Sanhui skeleton I heard a rumour...

Glad to hear people are not having issues!

I am considering making my next doll a Zelex via YourDoll, and I wanted to see if anyone has had any skeleton issues with them, such as breaking welds, joint problems etc.

Any other issues that have come up?

Thanks!
