Male doll...female hands?
For the moment I keep gloves on him but...I'm not sure what to do about this. The photos from the warehouse seem to be taken from an angle, so they look very different... I've had him for about a week. He came (purchased new) with a bit of damage to the TPE on his face. I'm just feeling a bit underwhelmed by this experience.
Has anyone else had similar issues/have any ideas on what to do?

Re: Male doll...female hands?
What head did you get? The 78, 183, N1, or 207? My guys have the 207; it is my favorite and I also like the 78.
What kind of damage happened to his face? Have you reached out to your vendor whom you ordered him through for advice on repair or a replacement?
Sorry for all the questions, it's just not often that male doll enthusiasts talk on the forum.
I would love to know more about your doll, and you. Of course I can tell you about myself and my guys, if you would like to know.
Welcome to TDF! Hope to see more of you and your doll here.
Also, feel free to browse the Male Dolls board and threads, lots of fun stuff there.

Re: Male doll...female hands?
Like every female doll has crummy toes, they have no support in them and are floppy. (big toes has a wire, but rest are loose)
Belly buttons, everyone is the same, yet humans have all kinds of strange shapes and innies and outies.
Nipples, all again the same, yet I have been with a couple of women who's nipples actually pultruded almost a inch away from the main breast.
Hands on female dolls also seem to be the same size, and a little too tiny.
I really don't understand why they can't accommodate everyone's requests on their doll since most are custom made.

Howdy! Thank you for the welcome ^.^DG wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 9:53 am I currently have 2 WM male dolls, used to have 3. They are the 160cm. I agree, their hands are very dainty and feminine and their feet are small too. I have tiny feet, even for a woman, and me and the guys wear the exact same size shoe (US 4).

I'm not sure what number his head is :O And I'm not sure how to attach pics! (....how do I attach pics? ;-; )
The damage is super small. It looks like the TPE just didn't seal off properly on one portion covering a hole, so there's a small flap of plastic that you can kinda smoosh back down and it seals off quite well.
I'm kinda relieved to hear the hands and feet are a factory default thing and not an abnormality! Though I'm sure I'll grow to love them- no one's perfect, right?
I'm thinking of calling him Anders, after a favourite video game character, but I'm still undecided! Names are so hard to pick @_@ I would love to know more about you and your dolls! I'll likely be floating about the forums for quite a while, I have heaps of questions!

Yup my guy has a wire in his big toe and the others are floppy. And his hands are the same size as mine, which would possibly be alright if they were more... male-shaped? Like the fingers are very thin. I've known most men to have larger finger joints than women; larger/thicker fingers in general, usually. So having a guy with hands more delicate than mine is certainly...going to take some adjusting to!
I do lots of art stuffs, so finer details is kind of my jam. It's definitely disappointing when something of such high quality lacks fine details D:
Do you own female dolls? Because I've always been curious about the vast difference in customizability. I know female dolls are more popular, thus factories are generally better equipped to customize them, but there are far fewer male heads/parts it seems. And did you get yours from WM? Maybe they use the same hand/feet mold for every doll series.

Re: Male doll...female hands?
Hi, AltheiaMia! Welcome to the Forum. I have a 160cm WM male. Yes, his hands are quite dainty - but I think they're exquisite. I put knee-high stockings over his hands and roll them up his forearms, then I put socks on top of those to protect his hands. I think finger pokes could be more likely with gloves. (Yes, finger pokes can happen with articulated hands.)AltheiaMia wrote: ↑Tue Oct 04, 2022 12:36 am I ordered a doll through WM warehouse. Everything seems fine except his hands are most definitely feminine. They're more petite than my own!

Does your guy's face look like this? If so, that's the number 78 head.

Tip for newbies: be careful who you take advice from - established members can make hundreds - or thousands - of posts without owning a doll. Which means they have no practical experience in doll care.

I also have a hard time with gloves made in China, the Large size is pathetic, if I can find a pair of extra-large they might just fit tightly on my hands, they really don't understand US Men are big.

His face does look a bit similar! It may just look different because mine has darker eyes. Your guy's hands seem bigger than my guy's...once I figure out how to put pictures up I'll have to show you an example!
