Well I'm particularly privileged as it's a lot of work for them. But they like to see their dolls standing.

This is actually the value of pre 2015 dolls as those stand on their feet for short periods without modification on account of harder silicone, but are really not as successful as sexdolls in bed. The new soft silicone is impeccable in that regard.

Some people have injected silicone under the foot plate so as to cushion them standing, and without visual degradation to the sexy feet. It would be helpful for people to chime in with links to threads on that.

Another reason why you might like to buy a silicone doll is https://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewtop ... 0#p1323000

My point in this context was that Doll Sweet offers an alternative approach for upright posing which comes with certain advantages compared with the common screws in TPE dolls - Doll Sweet feets remain beautiful, they do not ruin the carpet, and water can not enter into the doll's inside.

However, I am 100% with you that my personal dream doll would need to be able to stand on his/fer own feet. Silicone comes with all the requirements that would allow this, especially without hanging or screws poking through the soles of the feet.

Overe here I'm demoing this, and it works with weights up to ~40 kg, without screws. Manufacturing skills required are: blending two silicones with different shore hardness; engineering a proper foot bone; make the foot slightly larger. My guesstimate would be that even adjusting one of these factors could suffice to allow at least the more lightweight DS ladies (~25-30 kg) to stand on their own feet.

Whatever happened to the DS Mini? It seems like it disappeared from their website.

Excellent idea for a series, and this first one is superbly done! I have a DS 145+, and she feels in many ways the most real of the dolls I've owned. I think it's a combination of her realistic looking face and soft body.

I'll be interested to see what you do for some other makers as well. DS is definitely one of my two faves, along with Sanhui currently, because yes, I had a TPE doll as my first but am now a full silicone convert.

@Sate: I watched your video and it looks like DS fixed the problems with the insert for the 145. It also looks better so that's great!
I would definitely consider buying a doll like your new 145+.

Sandro, how many of Doll Sweet's dolls have seamless necks?

Well Sandro, in all the years I have read TDF, for me these 10 points are the

Best Post Ever - Period.

Sandro - you've hit the nail on the head ten times here . . . but you forgot one thing . . .

Sheer beauty. viewtopic.php?f=143&t=100085

Mention of the skeleton is important. The absolute precision of the skeleton is really felt in moving her limbs. It's extraordinary, and particularly with the DS man doll whose limbs are heavy and move exactly to where you put them.

Finally DS do do a standing option which they do for me. This involves an ugly hole in the heel and a screw thread into the leg into which I can put a steel bolt. Were I to be concerned about this I'd make a silicone plug to fill the hole for when the screw thread isn't installed, but it makes possible such photos as the one above.

The dolls of 2015 and before have a special value for photography as they are a harder silicone which can withstand the doll standing on her feet but the new silicone is very soft and particularly luscious to the touch.

My Ds145 its an amazing doll. Easy to repair, hardly any maintenance, the design its great, I could go on and on and on how great this doll is compared to others.... Even the wig its way superior than a regular wig. I'm really glad I started with a Ds doll and not TPE...and I will stay with silicone. TPE its not for me. Well to be really technical, mine is an EX doll.

The insert on the 167 is also really good. I've read a lot of negative things about inserts, but DS really nailed it in the design of that doll. Mine is a late 2017 model, and they seem to be improving things all the time.

For me, what really sold me on DS was the heads. I think that some people don't like them because they are made with an eastern eye for beauty rather than what you might get from a western company. I really fell in love with the Nanase face. I think it was her realisticness; right down to the little bend in her nose. She has a lot of character, and is always a joy to be with.

Conversely, I find a lot of popular dolls look like American porn stars or something, which I actually find quite unattractive. Everyone has their own taste in women, but I really like the bodies DS sculpt as well. They're athletic and shapely, but also in proportion and balanced.

The video by X/S Dolls showed an insert that was too small for its cavity (so it was possible for a man to miss the insert's opening and enter the doll next to it instead of inside it. Also, the material appeared so soft that the narrator said a man could push the insert in (to the cavity) instead of entering it.

If my own new 145 plus is anything to go by, they're showing some improvement there. The insert doesn't fall out during use, and the opening to the cavity is smaller than before.
