I have a second head, an OR (Oriental Rose, part of the Jinsan group) that I need to get a body for. I have been looking for a few years now. I have managed to get it down to a selection of four. All of these weigh in between 28-30kg. I will list the body number and give you a link where you can see her, they are in height order. Remember you are NOT looking at her face just her body.

Irontech 155cm https://www.thesilverdoll.co.uk/doll...a-in-pink-top/

WM 156C https://www.thesilverdoll.co.uk/doll...akes-a-shower/

OR 156B https://www.thesilverdoll.co.uk/doll...at-the-castle/

AF 160 https://www.thesilverdoll.co.uk/doll...white-nightie/

The names given relate only to the head.

Most, if not all can be obtained at cheaper prices here in UK

Irontech go to Lucid Toys

WM & OR go to The Doll House

I'm not too sure about AF, sorry, I think Lucid had some at one time, not sure if the 160 was one of them. Silicone Lovers may also be worth a look.

The reason I used The Silver Doll Company is that they hold all the doll galleries. They are based in Hong Kong, the only reason they use co.uk. is to display the price in the correct currency for that country.

Hi
Thanks for the info. I’m in my 60’s and it’s a bad back that makes me cautious about lifting heavy weights. I find it amazing at just how heavy some of the dolls are. I have seen some sites that list dolls at 50 kg! A large number are over 40 kg and I wouldn’t go near anything of that weight. I have previously looked at all the websites you listed and there are very few dolls available under 30 kg but occasionally there are those that have the option of ‘reduced weight’ but even those are normally dolls that start out around 35 kg and have 4 or 5 kg reduction. Sometimes I have seen doll bodies that are about the right weight but the options available for heads are not to my liking. The heads I see that I like are from different manufacturers and the body weights are too high. I have tried asking questions about mixing bodies from one manufacturer and heads from another but the general consensus of opinion is that it isn’t a good idea if you want the skin tones to match. I shall keep looking as I am in no rush and it’s still a case of ‘If’ and not ‘When’ as I have not made that final commitment yet. I guess I will know when I see the right one.
Kind regards,
Graham
