Official announcement of several upgrades now in production

 Published On: 12/03/2003

We would like to formally announce the latest improvements that have been made to the dolls in the last few months; The hands on all Realdolls have received the following upgrades: First we changed to an aluminum wrist/hand linkage to replace the plastic hand plates. this allows us to use a standardized assembly which is far more durable. This was in development for 6 months. The second change to the hands is in the armature wire itself. We have just switched to a new alloy wire that will be more resistant to wire fatigue. There is also an added design feature in the new hand plates which will help keep the armature wire from bending in the same place every time. The current hands are the next best thing to the fully articulated version that is so cost prohibitive. The feet on all dolls have been upgraded with a new, larger foot plate, which is designed with the current skeleton in mind. While it is still not advised to place the full weight of your doll on the feet for prolonged periods of time, the current plate will disperse the weight much more efficiently. The Body 7 dolls are now truly seamless, as we have finally designed a way to eliminate the breast seam formerly required for the gel implants. We hope to make all body types seamless this year. However, retrofitting the older body types in this fashion will take several months.
