Re: What should we make in 2019?
Also for lighter dolls, would it be possible to make a tpe doll in 2 pours. The first pour being the inner core with air blown in to create many air pockets, less inner material = less weight. The 2nd pour for the outer skin. Similar to how some silicone manufactures use foam as an inner material and silicone for an outer.

AFAIK normal foam products will be destroyed when the TPE is hot-poured. Likewise an initial pour of foamed TPE will be melted when the second TPE pour is done.Chris98king wrote:If your after weight reduction why not wrap the skeleton with a thicker wrap sort of like this then it will still keep there body's soft and squishable because the base will be squishable but not too thick a layer where the tpe or silicone is to thin... It would shave off a few pounds not all but a few and if you put it over the joint it would take longer for the joint to poke through. And with there being less tpe in the center of the. Doll she would warm up quicker because there wouldnt be as much tpe to try to warm
For the necessary heat resistance If there is such a thing as foamed silicone of a type that will not react with TPE then this might be usable.
Alternatively how about a hollow aluminium [US = aluminum ] chest insert fitted round the spine. It could be moulded to feel somewhat like a rib cage and could pay for itself by reducing the TPE needed.

I guess I should of thought of that I forgot how hot it is that tpe melts

1. by using an hollow box ribcage like HUNAN HELLOMISS and MYDOLL already do.That is an hollow box made of fiberglass resin or SST grid with small mesh.This box is fitted trough weldings on the skeleton. There is no change to the mould.Real women have a rigid ribcage!
2. By fitting two thigh pipe of a bigger diameter. Same for the calves.
3. improving your TPE mix in order to reduce its density. I measured recently a .9 Density TPE for very soft TPE, but .8 is achievable. That make another ten per cent of body weight off.
That way you would be able to advertise for example that you made a dream-body 165cm tall with realistic ratios and thickness at 33 kgs instead of 43 kgs and so on for smaller dolls.The hollow ribcage remove 4 to 8 kgs where it count the most when you need to rise your doll on her feet.
Dont forget also to fit your anatomicaly correct dolls with realisticaly drawn puffed fertile type genitals.

Articulated fingers!
Articulated fingers!
Mouths that open and close.
Standing feet that hide the bolts.
Shorter necks. (realistic neck lengths)

I know that the dolls are designed to compete at a price point that the doll manufacturer thinks is best for volume sales. This means compromise is necessary to keep cost down.
How about SM offer a choice of a standard skeleton or a "premium" skeleton with the better hands and joints we all desire. I think the more serious doll enthusiasts would be willing to pay +$200. if the skeleton was ball joint and had nice , durable hands. And for those that are sensitive to price can still get a standard skeleton and not be priced out of the market.
