Heavy dolls! A struggle for a smaller person?

Post by BreakfastOfChampions »

Hello :D I've been lurking for a while and have my eye on a WM140 (not decided on the head yet though) But all this time I have been worried about her weight! I'm a female of 168cm and I'm no weight lifter :? Even at 140cm, will she be quite heavy? Thank you!

Exercise traditional method. Buy doll and still be unprepared to lift 60-70lbs. Best way to practice is to carry a crooked twisting uneven log or a body wrapped in a carpet...

use dumbells to work out with so you get the effect of gravity, and also have to use stabilizer muscles you don't use by isolating. Bowflex and other gym equipment is a great start to getting in shape, but if you need functional real-world strength, free weights all the way. PS. never twist, and don't lift with your back. Let your legs take most of the effort. That's like 60 something lbs right? Spread over that length it'll feel more like 80 lbs of anything else.

Also a good option to consider is getting a WM140 with the standing feet which you may find helpful in moving her about. I have a WM145 and a WM158, both with standing feet and I find it easiest moving them to hug them tight close to my body and lift. This is fine for short distances on a level floor but for going up and down stairs it's still better to cradle her in your arms while she is in a sitting position with knees bent. I would imagine a WM140 should stand quite well, certainly my 2 WM gals do, I have them permanently standing and keep any leg movement to a minimum in order to keep the joints nice and tight thus aiding their ability to stand.

For me, I am only just a bit heavier and shorter than my large RD body D.
It is more technique to lift with your legs and how to turn shifting your feet and not your back.
I carry the doll with one arm under the buttocks and the other holding the back -sort of a modified
bear hug. So yes, if there is the will, there is a way but, I would as others suggested start with a lighter doll before going to the bigger dolls.

Welcome to TDF!

Looking at this useful thread: >>How much does your doll weigh<<, the WM140 is thereabouts 25kg, which is exactly the same as a bag of cement. Go down your local builder's merchant and lift a couple to see if you can manage that. Now, bear in mind that your doll won't be a convenient shape, and will have a mind of its own (my Lynne tries to kick picture frames off the wall when I take her upstairs even though I've tucked her feet in, I'm sure she does it for a giggle!). So that 25kg will be a little more cumbersome than a bag of cement.

However proper lifting and technique will help you. It may seem hard work at first, but you learn - and your muscles develop too! Lynne is 32kg, she is fine for short distances and I'm way off being Britain's Strongest Man!

I second Arthur, get the standing foot option, it helps with moving the doll, dressing etc. if she can stand up unaided.

My Tiffany is my first doll (I'm also new to dolls).
She's a WM155DD and the specs say 28Kg and she's supposed to be one of the lighter dolls.
When she arrived in her big box I was surprised at how heavy she was, even getting her out of the box was a bit tricky.
I've only had her a few weeks and moving her around is getting easier now.
I agree that the standing feet option is worth it.

It's not the actual weight that's tricky, rather it's the awkward shape.
In my case moving her onto and off the bed can be tricky so you have to watch your back and posture.

When moving her around between rooms, I've found that carrying her in my arms like the "honeymoon across the theshold" works best - if you know what I mean.
You also have to be careful about sharp corners on any furniture that you have.
My Tiffany already has a few little knocks that I need to repair. She has a couple of finger problems which I'll post about in a separate thread later.

The TPE body material is soft and that has pro's and con's.
It feels lovely and soft when talced properly and is warmed up! However it seems to be delicate and fragile (in my opinion), and requires a bit of care.
There are lots of messages in the forum about repairing TPE cuts and tears so that is an indication of what will happen at some point.

I think house preparation also helps. Re-arrange furniture to make sure you have a clear path when moving her from A to B.
Anyway thats my experiences so far, hope I haven't put you off.
Overall I'm happy with my Tiffany. :D

140 might be a little short.

Look also at silicone such as a DS160 as better height for weight.

Best wishes

Get the standing feet.
I bet you could lift the weight just fine if it was a dufflebag....
But it is a delicate doll with no handles

It's not so much the weight, but the way that weight is packaged. Imagine trying lift a 50lbs marshmallow! 8O

Solid advice. I guess it really is worth it to get the standing feet.

With standing feet one can always take the bolts out . . .

The bolded is the absolute truth, I have a WM170H, she is heavy at 90lbs, however she is manageable just have to have a process of picking her up.
