Irontech 163, Tale of the tape and review.

Panther68 · Post by **Panther68** » Sat Feb 02, 2019 11:33 am

Hey every one,

It's been 8 days since my Irontech has arrived. Did post some photos and gave out the height and weight of the doll. It seems to have created quite the debate. Unfortunately, Irontech is not available to chime in, as the are on holiday, the next couple of weeks. I have had quite a few PM's asking about true measurements.

So, I broke out the cloth tape measure and took various measurements to compare with what Irontech states.

I am not doing this to harp on Irontech, but to provide a source of information for a doll that there is much interest in. This is yet another example of many sitting on the sideline, not purchasing because there is no faith on the manufacturers numbers. Irontech is not the only manufacturer that does this, but if they want to gain trust with their consumers. Post correct numbers. Simple. So I will provide you with such numbers.

On that note, let's begin. Shall we.

Bust: Stated 86 cm vs. Actual 83 cm

Weight: Stated 36 kg vs Actual 41 kg, 39 kg without head

These last two are what has stirred up debate as she is much shorter and heavier than advertised. She is still a great doll. Will add more various measurements on next post. In addition, photos and comments of her body and heads. Starving, right now, need breakfast.

She sure is cute tho...

But in all seriousness, thanks for doing this. I know my IT is heavier than advertised. And like you said, they are great dolls, but having inaccurate measurements is a bit concerning.

By your checking except for the height the weight to me is a tolerable difference though it should be near spot on., the other stats other than the bust stat are close. Some dolls the stats were further off than these. Accuracy is important, you would think all of them would want to do/be that. Thanks for the data, i am sure like the true weight tables this forum started a full stat doll to doll accuracy thread & tables will come about for us.

There is no F******* good excuse for these dolls to be 10 lbs off!
How HARD is it to weigh a doll?
Sadly, some MFR are far worse...
For some, 80 to 90 lbs could make a difference.
A BIG ONE!

Thank you, Mr. Panther68, for taking the time to correctly measure and share your doll's stats.

We appreciate it more than you know. I'll probably still buy the behemoth, knowing full well she will probably give me more than one back injury. :drinking:

Agreed, Jeff, Most of my tall dolls are 90 lbs, so lifting Ayumi at 100 lb really isn't much of a difference. Going from 90 lbs down to 80 is hugh. Anya, my SY 168 is 79 lbs and feels feather light. So, I can see, that for many 35-36 kg would be a max.

Coming from a running background, I know real women at 158 cm and 41 kg.

I think most of us here, love Irontech dolls and want to see them succeed, hence the constructive criticism. I will post more info later, but I am also doing Anastasia's hand sugery on her other hand as MF's newest prototype is holding up well on her right hand.

She's holding a full bottle

Now that's impressive. Where can I get info on this prototype for repairs? At this point Paz can't even hold a conversation.

That made me laugh. I am doing surgery right now. I am posting at the same time. Look at recent posts. Right now she is holding my Jack and Coke as I just removed her factory hand plate and wires. Check it out. These look promising.

I nominate Panther68 as measurements supervisor of Irontech.

First of, thank you Panther68 for providing us accurate meassurements for the 163cm (158cm actually as you meassured) Irontech doll.

This meassures may change what I had in mind. I decided on the 155cm model based on height mostly after meassuring my closet, but at 158cm the height is pretty much the same and I'm more drawn to the 163cm's body proportions so I may choose this one instead. Sadly the weight is over the stated too despite the doll being smaller, those 40 kgs are manageable for me (I'm young) but still bothersome compared to the expected 30-30few kgs of the 155cm and 163cm.

Regarding the doll meassurements on website vs actual meassurements problem, this issue is not exclusive to Irontech, as far as I have read this community for the last year before registering it seems to be quite common across many brands and dolls. I don't understand why even the simplest of meassures: height and weight, are stated wrong by many manufacturers and producers. Hope this changes in the future.

Hi panther68,
Thank you very much for your accurate measurements.(metric and US!) I couldnt have done so well.
As you may see by the comments on your thread, such measurements will help would be buyers to decide with a better knowledge.
I like your picture of the tall AYUMI almost smiling just behind JANE.

Thank You for taking the time to measure and weigh for us, I really appreciate it.

I bought this doll a few days ago - knowing full well she was lying about her weight... (women) lol

I was optimistic about the manufacture listed weight; as I told myself I wasn't going to go over 36 kg (my highest comfortable doll weight) - but If you want a doll with a 24" waist (that is not a DS) then 40 kg and above is something you're going to be up against... sadly.... very sadly... If someone knows of a doll with a waist of 24" that is over 5', that is not a DS and weighs under 35 kg let me know.

But yea, manufactures need to be accurate.

Until weight reduction is done, a very good gauge is a YL155customD weighs in at 75lbs.
If people can remember that, then they can make an educated guess at what she MIGHT way.
But in reality, people should not have to guess and vendors should know this as well.
Some will, some will BLINDLY trust mfrs website which is IMHO STUPID, incompetent, but then again...

What I tell myself is: if you want a doll that looks like a woman - then you're at 90+ lbs. Again.... Saddly.

A little of topic, but not really, in terms of weight reduction DS has nailed it, now they need to find a way to put a fixed TPE vagina in their dolls and you would have the perfect combination of weight reduction, 24" waist and a doll that would be good in bed.
