1:1 Scale

[VirgoVertigo]

she's super cute! a few inches taller than me, but she'd be great to have around while my sister is off doing college stuff. but just imagine what a pain she must be to dress, and how heavy she must be! (or at least, how heavy with the magnets in her feet! don't drop her!)

I don't think I could handle a doll that's slightly larger than me.... It's very cool, but it scares me a little bit.

[Princess Unicorn]

A doll that is the same size as I am? Sorry, thats a little too much for me to handle. But sewing for this girl, it would be a dream!

[bitterdarjeeling]

She certainly would be an interesting challenge to work with, but I think I'd go mad trying to move her around and (god forbid) transport her to meetups.

Obitsu has a new 1:1 scale body. It's a male body and it looks like it's heavy duty, for training rescue workers.

Has Science Gone Too Far?

[clorista]

I would love a doll that big! My husband would hate it and make it sleep outside. But size aside would it pose fluidly? I feel like the thicker joints might be harder to move.

Omg that's crazy...

I could use it as a mannequin....but then, why not just go to the mannequin store in town and buy a mannequin? You can get used ones for under $100.

far as ive heard, these "dolls" are around 22lb. and are a lightweight tubular aluminum skeleton
with heavy duty skintone plastic ratcheting joints (tough POM plastic, i presume)
and hands with fully jointed digits, all covered with the same soft vinyl body skin
as the conventionally-sized OBITSU BODY's torso.

so, while these "super dolls" are vastly more expensive than the average second-hand department store Mannequin, they are vastly more sophisticated as well. i'd own at least one by now, if i was in any way able to. keeping her in fashions would be cheap and easy; just hit the thrifts around here even once, and i'd have her at least one exceedingly lovely skirt/blouse combo in no time flat!! must be all the old grannies in this area or something...
