FJ150cm with detachable legs review

Caudillo · Post by **Caudillo** » Sun Sep 17, 2023 4:28 pm

I set out to search for an affordable silicone torso with arms. This proved futile but led me to FJ dolls with removable legs. I got the 150cm model since light weight is of the essence for traveling on airlines.

I bought the doll from Your Doll which has served me well in the past. They did a good job, again, in ushering the doll from ordering to delivery in three weeks. The box was sturdy with foam supports and extra strengtheners along all sides. The doll is about 29kg, heavier than I expected possibly due to the soft head which is quite heavy but beautifully sculpted. At around $2000 after discounts I think I got good value. I have yet to detach the legs as I want to re-visit the videos in FJ’s YouTube site.

The doll has soft silicone heads (two suppled) and hardened feet instead of bolts for standing. Detailed painting and weight reduction were free extras. The silicone is quite soft but realistic to the touch when powdered (I use a Japanese doll powder from Kanojo Toys). I am favorably impressed by the skeleton which is firm but moves smoothly.

I have just unboxed and powdered the doll and added a merkin. She will end up wearing a cheongsam to showcase the nice Chinese ethnic face. At the moment, she is still showing off her curves. I have named her BanLu (meaning companion).

Pretty girl.

With the stockings, the cut of the legs does not look visible.
If I understand correctly, BanLu will be a great traveler. I will be interested to know how you will travel. I've seen questions about dolls with detachable legs several times now, from guys who are on business trips. I think your experience will interest a lot of people.

Any experience you can share with the removable legs? I just got mine with removable legs, and it was really hard to remove them. How are you handling yours?

I like the idea of detachable legs but the reality is quite jarring. The need to figure out an approach similar to the head. Taper one part of the leg slightly and have a lip or slight flap on the others so it can overlap and hide the gap.

Congratulations! The idea of wearing her stockings perfectly solves the seam problem. You did a good job. And thanks for your trust in YourDoll.

BanLu is trying out a new look.

What a great idea ……detachable legs.

She is a hot looking companion.

What's her weight without head and legs?

Caudillo · Post by **Caudillo** » Wed Sep 27, 2023 7:24 pm

Quater,

I have the soft silicone version with largish B cup breasts. The torso is 18kg and all up weight with legs and a (heavy) oral capable head is 26kg (I opted for free weight reduction).

So far, I am very pleased with this doll but choose the the head s) carefully, my second (free) head, not photographed, looks very young.

Thanks! As to heads, does she have an M16 connector?

Yes, te doll comes with a threaded M16 and a quick connect (push in) M16. I normally use the quick connector for changes of clothes but the threaded M16 is good for poses where the relatively heavy soft silicone head maight come off.

Broken wrists - beware of a possible weakness in FJ Dolls.

Both BanLu's wrists snapped without a fall or accident - maybe a cold weld.

I did a quick repair until her replacement, an ElsaDoll torso from Rosemary Doll arrives.

I attached coffee stirrers with gauze and silicone glue. It is disguised by long loves.

That's unfortunate. Did they make contact with you at all about this? I'm glad you reported it here, and hopefully they will make improvements to the skeleton strength. I like some of their dolls.
