Wow, do these bring back some memories! I've been going through some of my older Real Doll stuff I had stuck back in a container, after all these years I saved some of the old catalogs and promo papers. I found one catalog from 1998 and the other doesn't show a date but if I had to guess its maybe 2003? I remember it was around the time I bought a Body 7 (similar to the Body A now) with Jenny Face, I believe she was a new doll around that time but I could be wrong. Always loved that Jenny face! Anywho, I thought these would be fun to share, a trip down memory lane, still my favorite dolls are by Abyss, enjoy!

WOW! From the class of Tin Cured Silicone. Those were the days. The silicone was hard like tire rubber and it would cure itself to destruction in about 4-5 yrs. It would actually turn to GOO

I still have two early body 5's. One 2008 model was an experimental extra soft tin based. It is as soft as my 2018 and 2021 realdolls.
This is a 2017 picture, wow, haven't taken many pictures since then, life happens.

Today has been a trip down memory lane! Found a couple other ones, one is a pamphlet of the face x faces and the other is when Abyss had more bodies and faces added, I'm guessing this one might have been around 2006 or 2007? Maybe later?

A cool piece of history, thanks for sharing

I was happy to share them, SxDolled, I thought members would like seeing these, I forget I had that many from the past stuck back. Happy I saved them.

Haha so true Brick! I remember my first couple dolls being tin cure and then the platinum came out and was a big game changer!

Maybe it’s me but some of those heads (faces) don’t seem to be offered now, maybe RD should bring them back. My 2¢.

I like that idea! Maybe like a legacy line of older heads.

The Body 9 was my favorite at the time. However, I was still very skeptical as to whether there would be difficulties at customs and whether it would be allowed at all.
I really liked the huge breasts and the elegantly slim figure.
Perhaps someone still has pictures of this doll and would post them here.
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, right on! Maybe add some 60s looking hotties also, I could dig hippie chics!
