Inflatable sculptures by Diedre DeFranceaux

I am happy to see that finally silicone inflatable dolls have shown up. Although this is is neither my material nor body shape I am personally looking for, they definitely look awesome (and well credible that these big ladies are Russian). Due to the single piece head design, the large deflation valve was likely also designed for maintenance and solvent venting to make the silicone cure properly. Now I am waiting if anybody manages to create some muscular male superheroes with this material.

That is to say, the same inflatable doll construction was used by the artist Diedre DeFranceaux. She painted liquid latex (not silicone) on sewn pantyhose bodies to create lifesize inflatable human sculptures animated by electronically controlled blowers.

Can someone give blind-as-a-bat here a description of this doll? Since I'm into BBWs, this definitely sounds interesting! I tried to go on the site but there's no text description that I can find.

curious to know how's the doll holding up. Texturewise, how different is it from a standard blow up doll?

I’d love to know how these compare to DOMAX type latex inflatable dolls - anybody know?

Has anyone else got good experience with this doll/seller to report? I thought about ordering, but between can barely read his website (blind, using a screen reader program) and hearing how unresponsive/slow the process has been for some people, it's worrying.
How's the seller's English when communicating?

I really don't know what the guy's problem is, that last email was a bit unnerving and looked a bit virus-ey to my inexpert eyes. The only thing I can think of is that I selected fingers rather than simplified hands and I have yet to see one with this option. Could that be what's causing the intolerable delay? Or perhaps he just hates British customers! Let's face it, it takes less time to make a human being! I'll stop whining and let you all know if there are any further developments.
Hi LordLongshaft!
Been offline for a few months, getting caught up now.
Any news about your silicone BBW?
(I had selected fingers instead of mitten hands, but never received the fingered option, got mitten hands instead ... just an FYI)
Cheers!
Von

Hi privatetai!

Sorry for the extended delay in replying to your questions ... I've been offline for a few months.

Anyway ...

Okay, I'll try.
She's big ... really big.
Each boob is big as a basketball.
I cannot reach my hands together when giving her a hug around the chest area.
Same for trying to hug her ass ... huge! I cannot reach my hands together when hugging her ass.
Very thin waist, maybe twenty inches around.
Weight, about 12 pounds, give or take.

Doll is holding up very well. Texturewise, she is fairly rough compared to the smooth skin of a vinyl or latex doll. You can feel brush marks of the silicone being applied to the fabric core. And you can feel the creases in the silicone where the fabric core was pulled together around the feet and hands. The silicone skin has a top layer of a matte finish that makes the skin feel smooth, not sticky.

The seller's English is very broken, especially for using a screen reader, but you can kinda get the gist of what he is communicating.

She's a big doll and can be a little awkward when handling, but in the end she's pretty fun to play with.

FYI : I do not know if the producer of this doll has perfected his production methods but my doll required quite a bit of final finishing to make her totally useful and leak free. I had to spend many evenings tracking down small pinhole leaks and fixing them. This leakage problem may have been fixed in production by now, but I do not know for sure.

I hope this helps out a bit. If not, feel free to PM me any questions or concerns.

Cheers!
Von

Howdy Inflatablefun!
Sorry Dude ... I have no video camera capabilities ... no vid camera. I will try to do an animated GIF sometime in the future if this would suffice for you. (A doll inflating another doll :wink: :whistle: )
Cheers!

Hi JayJay
My opinion is they are far superior (after fixing all the small pinhole leaks) to Domax's offerings. Able to be inflated to relatively high pressures without ballooning ... the body keeps its shape very well. Can insert a silicone insert into vagina or anal pouch and this makes the doll a totally erotic experience.

As far as "looks" ... the Domax wins in this area. The BBW's face is rather ... uhmmmm ... ugly ... at least my doll's is. But she's a real blast to play with.

Cheers!
Von

To all interested ... I have done some modifications to the doll's inflation method/construct that I will post in the near future. Have to find all the pics taken and write up the methods/steps used. Please be patient.
Cheers!

Thanks for the response! I was actually thinking if the maker would be willing ton do a slight mod on the doll during production- rather an inflation port, add a zipper down the back. Reason being is I figure that will allow me to stuff the doll and bypass the leekage issue all together. But if English is going to be a barrier, I don't think that'll work out very well lol.

I was initially thinking if it's silicone, the doll should in theory feel as smooth and realistic as the solid TPE/silicone dolls, but that doesn't seem to be the case here?

I'm almost thinking maybe I should wait till a forum member decides to sell theirs rather than going through the seller at this point. The communication issues, plus the slow production rate, got my feet a bit cold lol.
