The Doll Forum

I was talking with Shelly on Thursday and a body 9 has just been shipped.
It will be photographed well.

The limitation is not the skeleton. The arms and legs move as far as you want them to go. It is the rubber that eventually tears. It is my impression that the rubber can be made to stretch with time so that you can slowly and carefully extend the range of motion without damage. For Katelyn (body 5)I...

Why don't you make a request to the pay sites for short movies of
this sort? Mark

As far as the range of movements go I think a good rule of thumb is that moving the knees above the waist level you risk damage (tears) As far as the arm movement it is much the same,... any movement above the level of the shoulders then armpit tears become very likely. Another option for movement i...

My favorite way to kiss my dolls is from the side, at a 90 degree angles my lips to the dolls. When you kiss them this way the lips will open and close almost as if you were being kissed back. :wink: Lips are surprisingly sensual, picking up on all the subtle textures of the silicone skin,...

It is seldom mentioned on this forum but the subject of kissing was brought up in the Caitlyn thread. I am curious to know if other doll owners ever kiss their dolls. How do others find caressing their doll especially as they powder them down? Maybe we should have this thread taken to the owners for...

My first doll (Anjie) a body2/H4 is a very old model ordered May 6, 1998. The early rubber although very soft showed tears after only 6 weeks of non-vigorous(gentle) daily use. Small repairs were regularly needed every 6-12 weeks. Katelyn (march 2003 body5/ head eight) has only torn twice. Both time...

I've used hydrogen peroxide from a contact lens solution. It has a much better LD-50 (lethal dosage to kill 50% of organisms) for most bacteria and very importantly viruses than either bleach or 70% alcholol. It has also been designed for use with porous plastic (of the contacts) :roll: Anyways, my ...

Congratulations on Caitlyn ! Mark_Y

Just a thought but since the latex realdoll is in parts I thought that if I had ever had to move to another country I would buy one and move it in a large suitcase. I was also thinking that the large suitcase would also solve the storage problem if you didn't have much space. Any thoughts? Mark_Y :w...

Sorry Bill
I haven't been here for quite some time. I have several reasons
but I have decided to post under a new nickname. Mark_Y

I am making this post to ask a favor of the members not for me but for Angel. If all goes on schedule he should be getting some nice new "eye candy" this month,... so I would ask members to join his website and support his work. I hope the completion of my half of our trade will now make t...

Since the latex Realdoll has a removable silicone insert,
one could order an ultrasoft insert for that 'feel of real'
The softness that I prefer is 1 part silicone to 1 to 1.5 parts
softner. That is using the Abyss silicone or the Dragon skin
that Guy uses. Mark_Y

The Synthetiks site is dead. I did not renew with the server
and I did not save any of the text. I felt the text was getting outdated
anyways with the changes to the dolls over the past 2 years.
If there are enough requests I will post some of the pictures
in the doll album. Mark_Y

Katie is back home from Charlie Joanne in a 'trade'.
The details are between myself and Angel.
