What is the weight of a WM Doll head?

I'm assuming they're all roughly the same weight. Would someone mind weighing just their WM head and letting me know? Thanks!

Hi, actually there is a degree of variations with the WM/Jinsan heads as some are bigger than others. I would say that a good average weight is around 2kg but if you have a specific head in mind, if I have it here I can weigh it for a precise figure.

2kg seems about industry standard but your question made me kinda curious so I went ahead and checked mine.

2007 g WM head number 266
1793 g WM head based on Eva Elfie
1836 g unidentified asian but probable WM head

and just for fun
1626 g Irontech Viola head

Thanks for the info! I'm specifically interested in the WM Doll #198 head if you have it, but it seems like they'll all be roughly around 2kg (5lbs). Thanks again!

Arthur is right, weights are similar, but there is surprising variance in the size of the "cranium" (i.e. the fiberglass mold underneath the TPE). Something to consider if a promo features a head on a short doll, and you want to order it with something considerably taller.

Also I'm assuming you meant TPE. Silicone heads tend to be noticeably heavier.

Yes, I'm referring to TPE heads only. Thanks for prompting the clarification.
