I still have it. It looks like a baby terminator.scsc wrote:Neat! What did you end up doing with the skeleton?fxrs789 wrote:I did exactly that.

If you polish it / spray paint it, bolt on some custom attachments, etc, it could make a cool halloween decoration or something.

Re: Dismantling/disposing of your doll
I’ve repaired her from what others would have considered irreparable at least twice over by now.
The TPE she’s made from is extremely easy to work with, has no smell and doesn’t require oiling.
Hands down the easiest TPE I’ve ever worked with.
It’s like my soldering iron is a magic wand to her.

I 2nd the donation idea.That always makes some fellow human go happy and stiffLDF wrote:I suggest donation.
Otherwise, what's wrong with digging a hole and burying your doll?
Maybe a discreet grave stone...
Digging down 6 ft is really a lot of HARD work, even if you have a Bobcat.
Some people take their pets to Pet Cemetery, and not like in the movie (book), they extremely seldom come back.
I don't know if a Pet Cemetery plot for a large animal is any cheaper than a regular human burial spot?
Sailing over the waters and dumping it in the deepest spot of the lake/ocean will take care of the "problem" just for a little while, but as far as I know, TPE & Silicone takes a very, very, very long time to biodegrade. It'll just end up floating in the Pacific garbage patch some day, and that one is already really, really big! No need to feed the "monster" anymore, so please don't do it.

At least with the viking funeral, whether by water or just a funeral pyre on land, all they see is a controlled fire... so the FD might get called, and you might be fined. But the cops likely won't be responding code 3 to a homicide call.
What, donating is more rational than a glorious funeral pyre? Well, yeah, obviously. But they're more than just dolls to me, they'd get the same respect i'd give a "real" dead friend.

Re: Dismantling/disposing of your doll
I have to say i like the idea of giving them away if it ever comes to that. I think it would be great to know that they are still out there somewhere, in a good home with someone who cares for and appreciates them. Even more so if it means someone who didn't have the means to buy a new doll ends up discovering the joy that they can bring into one's life as a result.

I guess I'll just have to get a huge roll of duct tape and do the best that I can.

I feel much better now that I've given up hope.
Re: Dismantling/disposing of your doll
I'd see about cutting the TPE off the skeleton and then rebuilding it with a fabric body. Layers of foam and padding with layers of skin. See about designing it for ease of care too.

Re: Dismantling/disposing of your doll
Lol I see it now. The year is 2218, the US has long been collapsed, Canada does an archaeological expedition into the ruins down the east coast to see what life was like... they reach Virginia.Stewie studmuffin wrote:I could never dismantle or dispose of any of my dolls no matter how badly they have deteriorated as I'm just too attached to them.

At one house, everything nearby is ruins and skeletons, until they find the one pretty girl left, a perfectly preserved TPE mummy, under a complete wrapping of heavy duty duct-tape, save for a hole left open at the crotch area. The skeleton nearby sits near her, despite being a skeleton, he's obviously grinning
