LATEX LOVER - INFLATA-BABE

Post by yorktown »

8) Howdy

I have said more than a few times here - when you are not looking for something - that's when you find something that you had stopped looking for - :P

I was in a search for a particular vinyl inflata-babe that I knew was in this adult shoppe for another member in need here at TDF - well the shoppe since I last visited was resold to another and of course everything was different - but the bottom line was the specific doll was sold off - back to square one - but wait a tick here are some older vinyl value air babes to look at - well well long behold behind all of them tucked fore-lawn among value air babes was a "LATEX LOVER" from the ole Doc Johnson Import gang

For those unawares - Doc Johnson dabbled in latex dolls decade ago probably closer to decade and half or more - and had a Hungarian factory make really well made dipped in vat of hot latex these huge inflata-babes - the most familiar was the "Letha Weapons" porn star doll with huge tatas and they also made a normal sized tatas air babe known as "Latex Lover"

I had both types many years ago and were both well received especially Letha Weapons my favorite, and even went so far as to purchase additional as knew that latex dolls in general were rare - and trust me the cost for them was not insignificant back then - with $375 the cheapest i had paid with $ 400 dollar range for most - so stockpiling was not an option - way too expensive - and over time they all went the way most dolls do after 15 + years so all were long since gone - and if you go back in old posts here at TDF you'll read how there was more drama than a TV show on what actually happened at the factory and the molds etc - needless to say the story reads like this - <No More Dolls>

Okay well that's the background - now back to the present - the store dude asks if I am interested in the Latex Lover doll - as he needs to move it - I said well okay but how much as the box sez $469 - he tells me no take another look at the reduced to sticker - and it sez $92 bucs then he tells me oh are you a returning customer - well yeah - he hands me a discount card and knocks off another 20% - okay so now I am in bazaro land not believing but head to the counter to pay for Latex lady - when he tells me oh yeah I have another one like her but the box has fallen apart - okay now where is Allen Funk and the camera - no candid camera here - he walks back and shows me this ole ripped up box with another Latex Lover inside & tells me half off the $92 as its his last one - I just wave him to him as i am speechless and pay $145 for two Latex Lovers - and walk back to my car not believing what just transpired

So I get them home from the crazy cold weather outside and let them warm up a bit and the pictures below explain the rest - funny as soon as i pulled the weird white plastic peg of an inflation port and unrolled her she self inflated a wee bit almost fulfilling her wish that she finally had found a home and her purpose - good dolly - welcome home Latex Lover - :mrgreen:

As requested - pics

Like all Latex inflata-babe they usually have some sort of leak some where - and finding them can be a job - both Latex Lovers do have a small leaks and ones takes hours to be noticeable while the other takes a day or so - it appears to be any easy fix and I think that's one reason people get turned off on latex be it French or Hungarian - as they aren't perfect they are a hand made piece of work - with flaws - even though these two were in a box wrapped in a special bag with paper sealed they have flaws - even the ones i bought years ago weren't perfect and I paid a whole lot more for them than these two

Of all the doll I have or had, latex is still the best. At this time I have a tpe 32'' silicone elf, 1 vinyl, 1 latex lover, a jesse jane, 1 domax and a few I copied, letha torso, and 2 full bodies of letha and latex lover, the latex dolls don't kill your back like the full size tpe and silicone and last longer if taken care of. The tpe I have right now weights in at about 60 to 80 lbs, almost a back breaker, but will not last as long as a latex from what I see from the time I had her.

The most common place to look is in the mouth, that's the worst place to get the latex when molding the head, it traps air when pouring and dipping, I still haven't found a cure for that.

Yes you are very right - sm2414 - :thumbs_up:

That's always been the first place to look on these Hungarian inflata-babes - and its almost always very porous in there with all these tenny tiny pin prick type holes hard to find even herder to repair all -

Thanks samara78 - the double mint twins are happy to have found a home rather than be trapped in the box all these years - :angel:

Hi t/j sadly reverse engineering isn't all that successful the only true way to make these dolls is as the original - staring with a sculpt mold and making several of them then one's for the head unless you follow the DOMAX design of a vinyl head - I am sure DOMAX has a whole group of sculpt molds as they have to be bathed in acid to keep the latex from sticking hence they don't last long and yet another sculpt mold needs to be made - latex dolls aren't cheap to make it's a very expensive dolls VS vinyl

So for me to give one up in the name of a science project - with dubious results - I would rather she just hang here with me in the good ole US of A in her intended design - an inflata-babe - :angel:

Hi - otto - honestly I have never stopped looking for kool inflata-babes - shopping on the web is one thing - but it's amazing what you find in stores - :thumbs_up:

Moulds are bathed in acid? AFAIK at least with latex balloons it is regular kitchen salt (NaCl), which shouldn't be that corrosive.
