Hey all :) recommendations for a newbie?
Hey everyone!
So, I went ahead a few weeks ago and purchased my first doll out of excitement (LoveNestle Savannah) and unfortunately only really started coming across doll forums after the purchase/once my doll had been shipped. As soon as I started reading the more and more I read it was always ‘be careful of the weight’. My doll arrived yesterday and my god, she is absolutely beautiful and hyper realistic but even though I knew she was going to be 29kg… I thought I could handle this but even just getting her out the box, I realised very quickly she’s going to be a little too much for me to handle. As I live with others, I came to the sad realisation very quickly that it will be almost impossible to own her realistically until I have my own place, so I have now decided I am going to sell her, sadly. I’ll be looking to put her up for sale once I have hit the privileges to post a sale! So keep your eyes peeled! My question to everyone is, what first time buyer dolls to people recommend? I love the hyper realism of Savannah but need something a bit lighter although I was trying to go for the 1:1 size. Starting to wondering if this just won’t be possible without the doll then being heavy? Thanks a bunch! Calex Last edited by Calex; 21-06-2024 at 09:28 AM. Reason: Miss spellings/spacing |

29kg is already at the low end weight wise. Perhaps consider a torso doll?

I believe you can get full-sized dolls at a lower weight, even if it'so nly by a few kilos, You can search for them on this criteria at https://www.the-doll-house.com/

Thanks for the reply algaeholics! Yeah that’s what took me by surprise, believe it or not she is actually a torso doll and I honestly thought 29kg would be fairly manageable. I mean don't get me wrong, if I lived alone it probably would be doable for sure but having a housemate I don’t think she will be! I think I’ll keep looking for a torso but maybe a little lighter! About 15-20kg. I guess I’d potentially not really get a 1:1 size for this weight.

Ooops, my goof. Pretty sure there are lighter ones.

Lots of torsos and body parts available now
With and without limbs to reduce the weight |

Yeah I think that’s where I need to be searching. My current Savannah doll is pretty thick on her thighs which is lovely but maybe I need a fully legless doll! That would I imagine take a fair bit of weight off! I’ll try and post a pic of her!

This is the Savannah doll i received! She’s absolutely stunning. Unfortunately i went to wash her after getting her out the box and that’s when ive come to realise shes a little too big for me which is a shame!

Give yourself a little longer to get used to the technique m8, as it's all new to you at this point
Knowing the centre of balance and where to lift from is key Then it's a case of making sure to use your arms and legs to lift without straining your back If that doesn't work out for you, a torso with shorter legs should be lighter |
