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! |

Welcome to the Loony bin
Hopefully Karrot won't wind Shamus up too much or he'll be in full flow |

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. |

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. |
