First step
Hi, new member here
I've been following this friendly forum for several weeks and have found it to be a mine of information along with opening up a world that I never knew existed before my life circumstances changed late last year. I'm not yet in a position to invest in a doll, which is probably for the best, as I've discovered there is a vast population to choose from, along with a vast variation of prices, and alas, a few "dodgy" suppliers. Having said that, I'm sure the very knowledgeable folk here can help in that regard. Anyway, I know I'll be a regular visitor here so be ready for lots of questions! |
👋🏼
We're ready, go for it!... |
Hang on, Shamus is starting to run down, lemme get the big key to wind him up again.....
:welcome to the mad house :D K |
:welcome Locoman. You've come to the right place. Ask away :tu
|
Welcome to the Loony bin:D
Hopefully Karrot won't wind Shamus up too much or he'll be in full flow:cool: |

He "robot smashed" his way through the wall and wobbled off to the local Boozarama for some high quality red wine in screw top bottles. I'm sure he'll be fine when he gets back :whistle::whistle: K |

Welcome to the forum Locoman... Ask away :D (its ok Mr K. I just ate all the blue smarties :tu) https://i.ibb.co/yqx9XSx/excited-im.gif |
Thanks for the friendly welcomes.
I'm confused when I see that dolls can have replaceable heads. Does this mean there will be a visible join, and how does it fix in place. My budget is very flexible and I've seen several on lucidtoys that "float my boat" and I would also be able to visit their premises to look at the girl before I buy, subject to a £50 deposit. I only hope I can replicate some of the wonderful poses I some of the girls in here. |

I'll dig out a pic so you can see what the join is like most of the time. |

If you're worried about the neck join it's quite easy to cover by having something worn around the neck - Shiori's pink scarf looking thing is a headband just doubled up around the neck. |
Hi Locoman!
I'm pretty new here too, and I have to say; they don't bite. A wonderful bunch of people so far. I have many of the same questions you'll ask. And the reverse. Just wanted to say 'hi'. |
I agree with what’s been said already! The neck joint does show when you look closely but knowing that pose photos can easily be taken so it doesn’t show. As far as falling for her, it makes no difference at all!
There are some manufacturers that have seamless heads, like Piper Doll, but those heads are very different. My Piper Doll’s face sort of hangs off the top part of the head frame so you have to hold the top of the head to turn it. The face is quite squishy and very different to other dolls I have. The advantage of being able to remove the head is that it makes it so much easier to dress them! Although the skeletons have joints mostly in the right places to replicate a human body there are limitations and getting dressed can be a struggle sometimes but also you don’t want to stretch the underarm ‘flesh’ too much too often or tears can occur. My Piper is definitely the hardest to dress because her head doesn’t come off! Cheers, Hollows. |

Oh, I have loads of newbie questions to ask for both of us. I'll start at the weekend, probably; I'm trying to find a format that makes them a little bit useful to others too, hopefully. |
of course, when the buggers look at you like this...
https://www.uklovedollforums.co.uk/f...ictureid=93793 ...you totally fail to see the neck join (which is visible and un-edited in this pic) K |

What where was I now? You tatollyerly fails to smmmmmm. I titterly failed to see... No hold on; I've got this. I've utterly understood the premise of this post and its underlying subtext of using female anatomy as a reason for posting pictures of the opposite sex as a way to represent that form in a humorous and enlightening way. |

The only time I have found the neck joint truly visible is when your gal is flat on her back and your standing at her feet looking up,course depending on what your gal is wearing your eyes might never make it up to her chin. but for the most part the neck line in not visible even from different angles.......

Have to say i wouldnt want a doll with a fixed head. You get used to it after a while. I take their heads off to dress them. I hang them up to oil and powder them. Their head goes on a stand to do the make up. If i have to any surgery i dont want them watching and when the body is unfixable they get a new body but with the same head.

Its not even when the body is unfixable. The A team here get their choice of the best available and cast aside perfectly good servicable bodies for better one's. Its all about the heads... It's always about the heads :tu |
Welcome to the forum. My XY Doll has a silicone head on a TPE body. The inside of her head is a bigger diameter than the neck which leaves a gap big enough to get my fingers in. Only really visible if you are looking from the floor upwards if she is standing. More noticeable round the back because if you look from the front you can't actually see her head cos her tits are in the way.
I've always assumed its because the 2 materials dont really get on with each other if left touching for a prolonged ammount of time. |

:welcome Locoman. A detachable head will make it considerably easier when dressing/undressing the doll and will facilitate easier maintenance. The other question that you need to consider is weight. Do not underestimate this. There are a number of people on the forum who have had to sell their newly acquired doll because she is just too heavy to handle. Good luck!
