Re: How much weight is appropriate to reduce?
Many folks here buys dolls under 140cm high just to avoid the weight. Weight is a huge limitation to doll ownership, to doll enjoyment, and to market growth.
There are some beefy dudes who love heavy dolls- power to ‘em! But that market is already well-served.
XTdoll we wish you success with your efforts!

Thank you SimonSays7 ,SimonSays7 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 02, 2023 9:45 pm Yes if anyone can get a doll like this under 25kg, or better yet, under 20k, and still have it be soft and durable, there would be enormous interest.

I seem to see a glimmer of hope, and I will fight for it.

Depending on the actual (real) weight of your skeletons, reducing the skeleton's weight v.s. adding more (or a different, non compatible) foam (and less silicone) may be the way to acheive weight reduction without introducing the quality issues mentioned above and pictured below.
Weight reduction sounds great, until you see things like this..

This looks very bad, to me and the customer, I don't want such inferior products to appear in XT.DollCommander wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 9:56 am Zero, if it means the doll will have horrible skin delamination, shifting, bunching, air pocket/voids etc. like most all other full size weight reduced dolls. There is still a market for dolls with these quality issues (people with severe physical limitations who cannot any other way deal with the weight of dolls and have legal height restrictions), but I think this market is small since it defeats the main purpose of buying a semi - realistic doll.

Re: How much weight is appropriate to reduce?
Weight is a huge deciding factor for a lot of us in whether to buy a doll or not. I've disregarded most of the dolls that I find the most attractive on the market right now purely because they are too heavy to enjoy. As a man approaching his 50s and with a serious health condition I can still manage 25-30kg relatively comfortably, but much higher than that and its just not worth the hassle.

True enough but their twisted wrists are awful!peachplumpear wrote: ↑Fri Aug 04, 2023 11:45 pm As low as possible. TAYU is wildly popular because of their extremely low weights. Weight is THE obstacle in this hobby. I myself prefer dolls 21kg and under.
What doll is 21kg? Asking for a friend.

This seems to have been realized. The doll industry is paired with the technology industry, and some technology companies are already doing it.
