Yeah I’ve never been so on the fence before! That did cross my mind tbf, trying to shorten her legs because I think you’re right, I think that would lose a decent amount of weight! but I know she’s got joints and I think a skeleton might actually go into her legs because you can move them about so you can position her and move her legs etc. would be worried of making a mess or completely screwing it up! But definitely a great shout!I realize you are considering selling, but if there is no skeleton in the legs, could you perhaps shorten them and probably lose a good 8+kg?
Can’t say I’d ever realised textile dolls were a thing but I’m guessing you wouldn’t be able to get the same real feel? I could of course be completely wrong, I was just amazed when I opened savannah and took her out the box how much her silicone skin actually felt real!IMHO 29 kg would be / is regarded on the lighter side, What about a textile doll,? Plenty of fans of Teddy Babes on here and I have a Valentina Girl under 10kg and can be made to whatever shape / design you like (within reason)
I have a couple of dolls now, both around 33KG. I live on my own but have a cleaner once a week so have to put them away. At first I really struggled but now find it much easier. I wrap them in a sheet and put 2 wide belts around and handling is much easier. Personally I prefer a full doll. I have a torso but find that more difficult to position.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
