Removing the head on a seamless torso?

Post by bluedogg90 »

Hello all, I ordered a Piper seamless head doll <removed> and I wondering what would be the process to remove the head. It's a little strange but I am married and my wife is ok with me having a doll but not with a head, to which I'm completely ok with. Yes there are other torso but I really like this one.

I asked the factory if they could cut it off after the production but they said that they cannot, so I will have to do this at home. Do you guys have any suggestions? I would highly appreciate it.

Hi bluedogg90. I had to remove that link, we don't want traffic from TDF to that site.

Anyhow that's an unfortunate situation about the head. I wouldn't want to try it..

Maybe you can find another way to address your wife's concerns.. good luck.

I also sent you a pm about your account, you can reply here.

There are so many headless Torso Dolls out there of various Price and Quality, ruining an intact doll seems like such a waste...just put a paper bag over the Dolls head...

Surely it would be simpler (and cheaper for you) to sell an intact Piper doll and then buy a torso your wife finds acceptable? I hate to say this...but not many are going sympathise with you cutting off the head of a Piper...

This seems to be the most sensible suggestion ... Although if I were married and my wife wanted me to have a headless doll, I'd make her cut the head off, to see if she could bring herself to do it. The irony of the situation might prevent her from carrying out the beheading. If she humanised the head so much that it offended her, then its humanity might still prevent her from doing it.

If she could cut it off because "it's not human enough," I'd ask then why it offends her so much, since it doesn't seem real.
