Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
Obviously, this goes against every warranty/suggestion that a vendor would make (understandably) - but the legs really do get in the way of certain positions for me, and they don't "add" anything to my experience (i.e., I'm not using the doll for modeling/photography purposes). The arms definitely add to the sleeping/spooning experience, so I don't want to remove Those.
Anyway, I'm looking for advice on this 'surgery' - I think I would need the following items, after finding a thread regarding repairs:
Pure Acetone for prep/cleanup of sealed points/excess adhesive
Sil-Poxy Silicone Adhesive for sealing, post-cutting
Latex free, Nitrile gloves for handling/everything
X-Acto knife for cutting through the silicone
Tongue Depressors to apply the Sil-Poxy
'Fiber Free Cloth' - does that just mean those micro-fiber glass cleaning cloths?
Annd not sure what else - especially regarding removing the legs from the joints, and if that 'space' will need to be replaced.
Attached are my general ideas for cutting sites
Thanks for reading!

Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
Haha, not that crazy! I just haven't found reliable ways to make my favorite positions comfortable - like, if there was a platinum silicone torso doll that Wasn't at Abyss' prices, I would've purchased one. Instead I lucked into an amazing deal for the 160 (which is gorgeous/perfect height, etc.), but the legs really hinder my experience.SynthetikReality95 wrote:I cringed so hard when I read the title, but the same curiosity that makes us want to slow down and look at car crashes has compelled me to click.

I mean, obviously, I like what I like - even if there wasn't a market for torso dolls, I know this is what I'd want to do.
So! Any advice from anyone on making this the Least car-wrecky car wreck?

Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
Keep the doll intact!!!!!! She's your companion! Why would you harm her? (besides, she's got sexy long legs)
You can still do plenty of positions with her, and you'll be glad she can still sit with you, and not look like an unfortunate war vet in photos, etc, etc, etc,
Dolls are for more than sex, my friend. If you don't realize that yet, you will. You gotta think long term here, and not act out of frustration for a perceived problem right now. Right? Because what if you regret it later....then the doll is ruined. And no one will buy it when you try to resell it. You always gotta consider all the possibilities.
You do want a torso though, and one that's not ridiculously expensive.. So buy a torso, but don't get a silicone one, get TPE instead. It'll feel great, and TPE isn't actually that hard to clean or anything. Get a torso, with tits and everything, or just get one of those butts if you wanna save even more
It's not too much to have a doll and a bunch of sex toys too. Different things for different uses, different circumstances.
Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
Really, dude? That's the best part.
I really advise against this. Not just because I'm a leg lover!
If you cut her legs off there will still be part of the skeleton left over. If you think legs get in the way imagine sharp rods or screws. The cut through her thighs will not be smooth like a torso doll.
If you must have a torso doll just buy one and sell your 160cm to someone who appreciates legs!
That way you can spend money to get a nice torso doll. (I personally don't think their all that. It feels like they are missing something...obviously. But to each their own.)
Plus, think of the poor doll! If you get tired of her it will be really hard to sell her. If you do do this to her I won't be able to look cuz it will make me cry.
Good luck though.

Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
The only thing is that there is no way I would cut it where you are saying. Cut the legs off just above the knee instead, or midway up the thigh. You can still put her in all sorts of positions that way. I really think you will ruin it by cutting it where you plan.

Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
I agree with everything IQF said. Please don't ruin your lady, just get a torso. Her skeleton will definitely hinder the desired effect your looking for and will most likely leave sharp edges. plus it would just look like shit. You would be ruining a work of art. If you get a torso, it won't have bones poking out where the legs are cut off.TheIQF++ wrote:Still...

She is a pretty lady, don't make her look like a science project gone wrong.
Just my opinion. Good luck with whatever you choose.....

Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
But seriously though, like the others said before me: Sell your doll, buy a torso. Otherwise you will be left with very nasty stumps. I just can't see how this could possibly end well.

Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
If you have a problem with the legs I think you should have gone for a TPE doll instead as they are far more flexible.
Skip to about 10:52 in the video below to see what I mean.
Re: Converting 160cm Doll to Torso - removing legs
I'm with Xephyr. It's not a good idea.
I understand the desire for a torso over a full-sized doll for a variety of reasons: Cost, weight, storage, ease of posing. I'm personally in the market for a torso with huge breasts. All that said, trying to cut a full sized doll down to a torso is likely to cause all sorts of structural issues, as TheIQF++ says.
