Dollstudio is expanding it's product range with the new manufacturer Doll Forever, also known as Doll 4ever or D4E. The Chinese supplier produces innovative TPE love dolls, which show some interesting innovations.

Among others, these novel features include a skeletal construction that allows standing without screws passing through the soles of the feet. Another unique feature in the TPE doll segment is that D4E consistently favours hinged joints, which hopefully will lead to higher stability of the doll's neck.

At launch time, Doll Forever presents three different body styles, the medium-sized D4E-135, and the life-size models D4E-155 and D4E-165. For the medium-sized body style there are three different heads to choose from, and there are already three heads for the two life-size body styles as well.

Recently, Z-Onedoll released new photos with ZO-120 body style (ca. 120 cm) and the ZO-A37 head in Anime/Manga style.

Unboxing report on the ZO-111 body style with ZO-A30 head by Z-Onedoll. This is the so-called ›Intelligent‹ variant with body heating and audio replay.

The latter can be recognized by the control elements on the back of the head, which in reality are not quite as pretty as they were on older manufacturers photos. The weight of the doll matches the given manufacturer specs - it's about 17 kg (with head).

Today I took a couple of snapshots with Doll Sweet's ›Youyi‹ head and a Z-Onedoll ZO-160 SM body. The resulting hybrid doll is made possible with an adapter which bridges between the different connector types of the two manufacturers.

After I removed the built-in teeth from a distorted Z-Onedoll silicone head a while ago, I'm currently looking into options for more realistic teeth.

The first idea was to just mold a set of hinted bunny teeth. But well, everybody else is doing this. So is it possible to make something better?

Probably not the most direct approach is to start with a full set of human teeth, including roots - but who knows…
