Hello, looking for advice on male dolls
I've looked around on a few popular sites, and the male dolls I've seen are around 170cm (5'7) or shorter.
Are there any that are taller? Specifically about 183cm (6'0) would be best as I'm trying to base the doll upon a preexisting character.
If there aren't any that are that size, which I understand would be difficult to create so I don't have my hopes up, are there recommendable sites with customizable male dolls?
Thanks for reading, everyone.

Re: Hello, looking for advice on male dolls
I hope you understand one thing about male dolls they, in general, tend to be heavier than their female counterparts so make sure you can handle the weight first before jumping in for a purchase. This seems to be something many newbies seem to miss when ordering and then post on the forum they wish the doll was lighter or they pulled their back just moving the doll.

Re: Hello, looking for advice on male dolls
A 6-foot TPE or silicone doll would likely weigh at least 115-120 lbs, probably more. I'd guess the market for male dolls this height would be substantial, but not if he weighs that much, so he probably needs to have a foam-core.
