Hi privatetai!privatetai wrote:Thanks for the response! I was actually thinking if the maker would be willing ton do a slight mod on the doll during production- rather an inflation port, add a zipper down the back. Reason being is I figure that will allow me to stuff the doll and bypass the leekage issue all together. But if English is going to be a barrier, I don't think that'll work out very well lol.
I was initially thinking if it's silicone, the doll should in theory feel as smooth and realistic as the solid TPE/silicone dolls, but that doesn't seem to be the case here?
I'm almost thinking maybe I should wait till a forum member decides to sell theirs rather than going through the seller at this point. The communication issues, plus the slow production rate, got my feet a bit cold lol.
Glad to have helped out my friend. Not a bad idea for the zipper instead of the inflation port. I don't think it would be possible to order this modification though, I don't see how the builder would be able to modify the doll's construction method to accommodate the mounting or inclusion of an zipper. With the language barrier ... I don't recommend attempting this.
Unfortunately the construction method (of my doll ... there MAY have been a change in construction method/silicone material used since I ordered mine) does not have a completely smooth surface due to bunching/bundling of the excess inner mesh material at points of constriction, like the hands and feet areas. Also due to the shaping of the body and layering of silicone, the areas where there are curves meeting flatter shapes there are thicker layers to prevent ballooning of the body during inflation. So these areas have a little ridge like feeling when passing your hand over them.I was initially thinking if it's silicone, the doll should in theory feel as smooth and realistic as the solid TPE/silicone dolls, but that doesn't seem to be the case here?
This may be a good idea although I have no idea IF any owners would be willing to let theirs go, especially after taking almost a year or more to acquire one (for some buyers).I'm almost thinking maybe I should wait till a forum member decides to sell theirs rather than going through the seller at this point.

Whatever you decide ... best wishes and good luck!
