Hi ,
Here are a couple pics of our tongue.
We make it extra soft.
We can actually create the head with a custom opening for the tongue so it looks very natural.
Thanks for asking.

Hi!
I'd be happy to do that with your Bitzy head.
It's cool to have the tongue removable.
Thanks for asking.

Yep. Only thing, hopefully the tongue goes back in, I'd hate to have her sticking her tongue out at me the whole time. :D

Yeah toonist, the main thing I've found helps the realism is the mouth opening easily and the tongue being mobile. The RD1 faces are (so far) the most realistic in this regard while retaining realism.

Hi,
When I know someone wants the removable tongue, we use a special "spacer" inside the mouth when we cast it that leaves a place for
the tongue to sit properly.
She won't be sticking her tongue out. :)
Best,
Patrick

One of the most striking things I remember reading in Patrick's interview was how he emphasized the dolls functionality. I thought that was very interesting

This is an example.

I've been pushing for things that recreate the sexual experience and Patrick is one of those guys that "gets it". No form without function.

Itsme, no I'm not picking up the doll although would love an excuse for a road trip! :angel:

Going to change the final order.

I decided on the fair skin option with freckles on the body instead.

We're shooting for the "girl next door" kinda look. Innocent yet seductive.

I'm trying to find natural lip colors that work with fair skin. Looking for pics that show this.

Here are some of Elizabeth Cuthbert I think show a cute and not overdone color.

Great final choice Zarnon :D I love those images and your description, a wonderfully stunning girl to use as a guide. :) I'm sure your new doll will be everything and more than you hope for. :D

Yes, this is a great look. Her lips look almost un-made up.
In the example, the subtle eye make-up is also excellent. It would enable you to change to a more made-up look whenever you'd want.

Elisha looks so much prettier in the 1st photo then the 2nd. The "natural" lighting on her nose in the 2nd pic sux.
Kind of has that Mr. Spock eyebrow thing going on there too.

Congrats Zarnon! With so many great dolls nowadays it is kind of a miracle that someone is able at all to make a choice among them :? although it is also my opinion that there never can be enough when it comes to choices. 8) But those pictures of that woman! Sigh! :P I’m a sucker for blondes. With so many dolls bought from different manufacturers you will really be able making comparisons. Once I believed I would go your way too with those beautiful silicone dolls, but I’m still a pitiable one doll only owner after several years. :( Although I'm still satisfied with my 4woods doll. :D But I’ll be waiting for the pictures. I wish you a happy wait with both your dolls. :wink:

Regards,
Slim

Slim, despite how they may look "too light" in some photos, I've been really pleased with my 4Woods and Real Doll fair skin tones. I'm branching out to the PIB but also going to consider on the Ruby.

Yeah I'm not 100% enamored with lift of the eyebrows but like them otherwise.
