One of the best doll stands in the market, REVIEW
 

Hello all, I received the Coeros doll stand recently,

https://www.coeros.com/product/the-b...display-stand/

I would like to write a short review about this excellent product and try to answer questions from the user's perspective as well.

The package arrived in perfect shape.

Inside, Coeros really spends time wrapping up the components. Every component has a few layers of bubble wrap around it.

The components are from high-end CNC stainless steel, very impressive indeed.

The doll stand has very good heavy-duty wheels, the feature makes life so much easier.

I also ordered the motorized version. That is another lifesaver. :D

Coeros offers many different accessories to attach the doll to the stand. Most dolls in the market would work with the required accessory.

This is how the doll is connected to the stand. Overall, it is very stable, and plenty of adjustments are available.

This is my ZELEX 175CM body with GE115 head on the Coeros doll stand.

Overall, I am very impressed with the quality of the product, certainly the best doll stand I have ever owned. I have more than 5 dolls from different brands and many different types of doll stands. Nothing can even get close to this Coeros stand.

Coeros is very good at customer service too, if any questions, they actually respond within a few hours. That is another bonus to me.

I would highly recommend this product to anyone. Plus they have 3 versions to choose from, Electric, Hydraulic, and manual options.

Many thanks for visiting this thread. If any questions, I will try to answer them.

The stand offers an adjustment here to allow the doll to turn from side to side too. Might need to be careful though when the doll is off-center of the base. But we can always tighten up the top big screw to lock the joint to the front-facing position if needed.

With this screw, we can adjust the angle of the doll. This is useful when we want to have the doll standing straight up. Other product in the market calls this a stance modifier from other brands, but the Coeros stand includes this as a standard adjustment for convenience.

As such, this stand could be a 3 in 1 stand. 1) Wheels 2) Motorized height 3) Stance modifier. :D

I tried to use the doll stand to dress her up in some nice outfits, it worked like a dream.

Moving her up and down at different heights is just a press of a button, not to mention moving her from room to room is just a simple push, life is much easier this way.

Never having seen a Zelex or similar in the flesh as it were, how does a doll affix to the stand?

The best I can guess with the photos is that there's a captive nut attached to the spine.

You are right. I ordered my ZELEX with a back-hanging hole. The Coeros doll stand can almost fit all dolls in the market with different configurations using their accessories.

Here is a screenshot of what they offer. I just picked the one I need.

https://i.ibb.co/gJFrJTj/2023-09-13-22-33-01.jpg

If they are not listed in there, they can customize the connector for any doll special need too.

Hope this helps, thanks.

I just checked out their website, this looks like another way to connect to the doll stand.

I think this is a connector to connect to the doll neck bolt. Hence, no back-hanging hole is needed.

https://i.ibb.co/9H33jqb/2023-09-13-22-46-29.jpg

I don't understand the angled piece as surely that would damage the TPE / Silicone?

It feels that should be a 90 degree angles joint but that would put more pressure on the joint and cause a potential snap where as is there is no single pressure point so I can see why they have done it that way but thats simply protection of the mechanism rather than the girl.

Should there not also be foam between the sharp bottom of the connector and the body? In fact at the base of the connector as well where it gets awfully close to the body, that surely needs some form of foam to protect the body as well espechially during mounting and unmounting.

Not trying to be pedantic. I can see the market for this sort of device. I just think that as is, the connection looks as though it has the potential to inflict some damage especially if used long term such as where used for a girl as a set peice display in a living room / hallway.

I have no doubt that it will do its intended purpose but my concern is for the girls body rather than only the posing.

The person you need to talk to is For Real who is an Engineer so may see the solutions that are needed to improve the design where I am mainly seeing the problems with this.

Stand looks impressive. I see what shamus is saying about this pic. The bracket is digging in to the skin. Can this not simply be flipped over 180 degrees so it hangs down above the neck joint

Hi Adam,

That makes more sense and explains the angles as they would be going around the back of the head.

Its a vendor photo though who I assumed was also the manufacturer so the surely they would have known that?

Also, looking at it, it may still be a bit too close and cause pressure against the head TPE / Silicone. But, there wouldn't be the same level of weight pressure there.

Yes, I'm thinking that your right. the picture seems to be showing it installed incorrectly making me things that the vendor is perhaps not the manufacturer.

It looks pretty handy but I'd want to know the results of long term placement with the neck connector, I would consider add adding some foam around the support bracket to perhaps reduce impact on our lovelies necks?

The angled piece is to allow the head to fit on properly I expect.

Hello,

Thank you for your review and feedback on the Coeros doll stand. We're delighted to hear that you are satisfied with the product. And glad that this stand can help you take more beautiful photos.

Offering a range of accessories to attach the doll to the stand is important to us, and we will also add more accessories in the future.

Thank you for your kind words about our customer service. We will continue to work hard to serve our customers well.

If everyone has any further questions or need any assistance, please don't hesitate to reach out. We're here to help.

Best regards,
Coeros

yes, but as installed it would damage the body.

A part normally covered by hair.

But thats still damage whether hidden or not.

I reccon that Adams right and the connector is installed the wrong way up.

I think it would be a little more complicated than that, with it in the inverted position I would question how far it would have to extend out to avoid catching the back of the head, especially considering the head is constantly moving, many heads sit over the neck some have a lip on the bottom of the head to overcome, then does it need to be adjustable to accommodate the difference in head sizes.

It a great stand.

I'd be concerned about damage to the neck with that design. Hair wouldn't always cover it depending on the style/length.

However, I have a Rachel. She stands up on her own even in high heels, whether on carpet or tiles :D

All good points.

There s no denying that the stand is a good idea, looks well constructed, and the back connector looks great. But the M16 connector doesn't seem right yet as, as you say, even reverssed it doesn't seem long enough .

Actually, just taken a look at the site and in the add on options the connector is shown the other way up to how its installed in the demonstration image above.

See here. The first option: https://www.coeros.com/product/the-b...display-stand/

But then when shown as part of the stand its shown the wrong way up again so who knows?

The centre of gravity on the YL151C. You've got to love it :tu

And IT is referring to the centre of Gravity, not Rachel who is obviously a she :tu :D

(see that save there! Impressive huh).

Actually appears to be shown on it's side...

Well done, Shamus. You avoided the famous middle finger there :21

Your right. I just looked at the tiny little image but when blown up you're spot on.

https://i.ibb.co/MZBXSp7/connector.png

And so is Tommo. The distance to th hole is too short so the head would be damaged the other way up.

What we need now is For Real... I'll just play his theme tune and maybe he'll appear to fix this....

The bracket would foul on the head if it was the other way up. A 90º bend in it should be fine provided the plate is thick enough.

Coeros sent me an extra for the neck M16 bolt connector. I did not use it as my girls have the back-hanging hole. It is almost 90 degree angle, so they might improve it already.


Another thing I would like to mention is the top M16 neck bolt, some doll makers recommend using that for long-term storage. Hence, it is strong enough.

If the full weight of a body is suspended by the neck from that there is a potential snap point between the main nut and the locking nut (the one with the washer).

There is also a secondary weakspot at the head of the bolt that goes through the L hanging bar. I believe that bolt needs to be much more substantial to withstand the fulcrum effect. (i.e. the bolt itself will be ok but at the pressure point the angle will increase the force effectively multiplying the load).

I'm not an engineer and I can see that. I'll drop For Real a PM and point him to this thread to see whether he can help out with the design.

Note that non of this is about the actual unit that looks really good quality. Its the M16 head connector which I don't think is right and thats what I would imagine that most sales on here would be for if people purchased one of these.

ok, I've sent FR a message. Fingers crossed he'll pick it up soon. Know that he loves this sort of engineering challenge.

I don't think it would break, when you see other older doll manufacturers ideas of suspending a doll with a 2x M6 bolts spot welded to each end of a thin piece of flat metal and they will hold a doll up for months, I am sure that will be alright.:tu TBH several of my TPE and Silicone dolls have the M8 connector in their backs, the IT RLD I have on order I made sure that had one too, unfortunately my four stands take up half my house the legs project out 2ft, they are a early morning toe stubbing nightmare, KK's stand is very compact.

Hi Tommo,

its that its at an angle and putting pressure on a specific point. If the girls feet remain on the floor it would be fine but if lifted the tensile strength of the bracket itself looks fine but look at the point that would take the multiplied pressure of it being at an angle.

I'm expecting FR to read how I see it and have an "Ah bless, it's so sweet when they try" moment but I do think that he should take a look.

As I say in my posts. I think that the stand loooks really sturdy and good quality. Its just that M16 connector that I believe doesn't look right.

When FR tells me that I'm talking bollocks I'll happily say that I'm wrong but at the moment the weight that will be holding at an angle seems too much for that bolt.

I'm honestly thinking that it needs something similar to the bolt width that you get in railway sleepers to be able to hod that weight at that angle.

As I say, sure that FR will be along in a bit to tell me that I'm talking bollocks (it has been known :D).

Shamus.

For M16 emerging connectors, 90 degree angles will cause the connector to be unable to bear the weight of the doll and will bend. However, we have modified this connector a month or two ago and equipped it with a turning screw. But it will also cause some friction with the doll's neck.

In addition, this stand is more suitable for dolls with holes in the back. Such a connector will not damage the doll.

In addition, I recommend using this stand to display dolls for photography. For long-term storage of dolls, a bath hanger is more suitable.

Hello,

After rotating the new M16 connector 180 degrees, the head cannot be installed, or it may cause significant damage to the doll's head.

Additionally, our product range is quite diverse; some are OEM products, and some are produced by us. This stand is a collaboration with Chinese doll enthusiasts and is manufactured by a factory on our behalf.

Best Wishes,
Coeros.

Yes, what you said is correct. We have indeed made improvements based on this.:tu

Coeros, you keep impressing me, and demonstrating the products in different situations right away. Bravo. Thanks.

Thank you once again for your support and encouragement. And I also look forward to you taking more doll art works.:tu
