Standardised test for oily doll to determine if fake
Posted: Sat Oct 28, 2017 9:11 pm
There have been reports of oily smelly dolls. To those of us experienced with TPE dolls we know what to expect but it's difficult for us to determine from someone handling dolls for the first time whether oiliness reported is out of the ordinary.
Basically with all reputable manufacturers' dolls, and especially after first powdering with talc, a doll shouldn't consciously feel oily but it's usual for ones hands to feel greasy after handling, and especially after lifting as a result of putting the material into compression.
So I've set up a test of reasonableness which should be easy to reproduce. People say "put the doll on paper or cardboard" and then see how much oil comes out. The result of that hasn't been greatly helpful as cardboard or paper draws the oil out of dolls.
The question really comes to "is a doll fit for purpose". One doesn't want to cuddle a doll in bed and find that one's nightclothes are saturated in oil and the sheets also where she's been laying.
I have experienced a bad quality oily doll that has quite saturated the sheets underneath her, quite an unpleasant experience.
So I set a cotton sheet onto a bench and sat down four candidates newly out of their boxes within the last six weeks or so the two on the left new this week and not yet powdered.
These four dolls come from three factories, the major three factories producing most of the dolls we see.
The two on the left come from factory number three, the second from the right from factory number two and the lady on the right from factory number one.
Dolls from factory number one are most faked, whilst other factories make dolls similar to those from factory number 2.
Currently under investigation is a doll allegedly from WM, the Jinsan factory which is allegedly oily and smelly. From the description of what has been experienced I believe that the doll in question isn't genuine and I hope that the member concerned will repeat my test on a cotton sheet. Perhaps other members might repeat the test likewise.
I'm going to stop the test after 14 hours, in this instance so that the sheet can be photographed in daylight so that any oil residue and its extent can be clearly photographed.
Best wishes
