Re: REALDOLL PRICE INCREASES APRIL 5th
Previous version was much friendlier, bright and clear.
Keeping production at a certain level can mean more stability for the company not overbuilding itself.
In any event, no new RD here now. I will be keeping an eye on the pre-owned/purchased dolls.
WANTED RD2 BF new condition

New website, new prices, website is very slow.
But wrong information stay forever:
Example BT3, THESE ARE LIES: dimensions 32 22 32, weight under 60lbs, shoe size 5.
RIGHT ARE: dimensions 30,7 20,5 33,1, weight 63,4, shoe size 3,5. (Measured 2017 BT3).

Known as 'Petite Realdoll' now. And priced about the same as full size.

True - but what was it before the price drop last year?siliconelover wrote:The Pre-configured RD2 BF Tanya went from $6,000 to $7,000 which is a thousand bucks ... an 17% increase.upsux wrote:It looks like most things stayed at the current rate (for now) and there was a modest increase in the RD2 pricing.
I'm out.
From what it looks like, and I don't know 100% (perhaps Zebo can clarify), they simply raised prices back to pre-reduction levels. I'm sure nobody is happy about it and that makes complete sense. But given the horrific backlog of orders they have it makes financial sense for them to sell fewer dolls at higher price to keep the money coming in and keep the production queue catching up, at least it does in my limited thinking anyway.
But honestly I think the production time will hurt them more than the price, who wants to wait that long when the TPE dolls (getting better by the month) are ordered and in your bedroom in a matter of weeks, or days from a reseller.

Re: REALDOLL PRICE INCREASES APRIL 5th
Back in April 2013, I ordered 3 dolls at basically the same time with just 4 weeks separating the orders and they all went into production at the same time. The dolls WERE on a (Sale Special) at that time and were $5499, down from $5999 for the Classic bodies and faces with basic configurations and NO customizing. The RD2 bodies and faces were at the same $5499, down from $6499 for the Sale Special so the dolls as they are now are just back to where they were with NO customizations like freckles, hand punched brows & pubic hair and any other upgrades like some the the (pre-figured) dolls have which pushes the prices up more.
There are members here that are new enough to dolls that do not know what Abyss dolls did cost years ago and are perhaps thinking that Abyss dolls are all of a sudden going up to price levels that they have never been before and that is NOT the case.
Abyss is offering a LOT more in the way of customizations now than they never did before and I mean just a few years ago and choosing those custom options will run the cost of a doll upwards no matter what they start out at in base price.
So as it is right now, these dolls are not at price levels that they have never been before, it is just that they are now back to where they used to be as I bought enough of them to know and many others here have also.

It’s a bummer, because RealDoll makes some amazing products. I just wish the process scaled better. Can’t rush art, but as someone above mentioned, so many vendors are shipping “good enough” dolls in a matter of days or weeks now.

Anastasia - CD 138cm TDF banned - 2021
