How much does it cost to customize a realdoll?

noodles12 · Post by **noodles12** » Tue Feb 21, 2017 3:44 pm

I contacted RealDoll twice last week, one through the contact form (last monday or tuesday) and one through their sales email (last saturday). I wanted to know how much does it cost to customize a head and body of the doll? I wanted to customize a doll so that it is male and have certain body features and know if it was possible? I like how realistic their dolls look through pictures on their site and on the forums here from people who own one.

Male RealDoll2's already have two different body types on their own, each of which are further customizeable. The website can help you there. Unless, of course, you mean transgender stuff, but that's easy too. They have a transgender converter that can effectively connect a penis to standard RD2 female bodies.

Both male RD2s and transgender converters have their prices and options listed on the website.

What I meant by is to have a custom build for my doll. Meaning a custom built body and head. While the female dolls are wonderful, I'm not crazy about the male dolls that are already there.

Oh ok. A very interesting way to see the value of these dolls. I'm sure there are people that have dolls that cost more than their cars.

To customize a RD is included in the price. Hair, nails, makeup, skin tone, etc.

You are seeking a whole new doll design.
Yeah, a new design head and body means a new model and mold have to be made.
And hopefully they can use a existing skeleton or that has to be custom made.

Even Lilith was based off of a existing model they already offered IIRC.

You could probably make your own silicone male doll for around 12K assuming you have the skills, workshop and most the tools already.

Oh I couldn't make my own, especially if I live in a rental. My sculpting and human anatomy skills are terrible. I'm sure in the future (several years from now) they'll have a wider male doll selection but if not then that's alright. I'll have to get everything custom made even a skeleton since I want the doll to be 153cm tall and their male dolls are taller than that.

The difference here is between customising and commisioning a doll line or model ....go with what is available but with the options you prefer.

With respect to a whole new line ...that would be the corvette above as per the first she devil, and even the remake set her first fella back around 12 grand or so US...only because they still had the body and face molds tucked away at Abyss....the extra cost is associated with the tinting and retrofitting an old design to a new frame.

Getting one made by a top end maker will be very pricey....as stated.

Happy hunting...Abyss has many options for the male dolls and their attachments...in a variety of lets say fittings.

If you do go for a commissioned Anung doll...cool......just dont tell Lilith

So you used an already existing model but added a custom head? I received the email back from real dolls and it looks like to have everything custom made (head and body) would cost me at least $50K. Ouch. I don't mind at most $30k (i'll have to save up longer) but for a first doll, I'm not sure I would want to spend that much.

Wow...if you're not really flinching at $30K, maybe you should see what they might have in store with male Realbotix instead? I realize it's all about Harmony and Denise right now but I can't imagine Matt will leave customers of other persuasions out in the cold for long.

Custom design or not, it'd certainly be a one-of-a-kind experience.

Well I would still flinch at $30K but it won't be as bad and $50k as a price is not easy number to look at. While I like the thought of having a doll that looks and feels realistic, i'm not sure I'm at that level of wanting a doll that can move their eyes and make facial expressions on their own yet.

A budget option in the mean time could be a flexible foam male mannequin dressed in a catsuit of some type. Then you just have to add a anal entry sleeve.

I can handle the wait while saving. In the meantime, I can always get a strap-on and a fleshjack (yes I know how hard it is to imagine a female using both at the same time).

Is it even possible to customize an already molded realdoll body? Like for a female body for example, could I make the boobs smaller or larger and have narrower hips? or would that require a completely new mold and skeletal system?

There were some other doll makers making male dolls that were a little smaller than RD male dolls.
You might post a thread on the "Dolls in General" or "Male Dolls" section of TDF asking for info.
