Average Doll's Weight?

Thanks.

In conclusion, the weight of a doll depends on the company's resin rather than the height itself.

As for the resin itself, do heavy doll is more durable than light doll? I mean the lifespan of the resin on the inside and outside ^^;;

 

I once briefly held someone's 70cm Buddy Doll (2.2 kg it say, on their website) and it was by far the heaviest doll I've ever felt.

I think most 60cm dolls are lighter... one of the girl buddy dolls is listed as 1.2 kg (since they list their weights...).

 

I don't know--I have dolls at a variety of weights and haven't had any that seemed more prone to chipping/cracking/breakages than others (actually I haven't had issues with anybody). i expect under normal circumstances problems would be few with any of them. There are ways to test durability I'm sure, but I sure wouldn't want to risk dolls to do it. There maybe other factors than weight too like brittleness, airbubbles, resin that didn't cure quite right and other manufacturing issues. Some resin is also just naturally softer (easier to dent) than others as well.

Another thing to mention is that most of these dolls really aren't all that old, so it's difficult to say how any of them will age.

 

Thank you so much for all the informations. Really appreciated it ^^

Hoo... so there really are dolls that weigh more than 2kg. I hold a SD17 before(thx shirou^^) and it's quite heavy. But I like the heaviness of the doll.

So doll's weight, whether it's light or heavy doesn't affect their lifespan or durability. It all depends on the manufacturing process and how much the owner take care of his/ her dolls. The environment condition counts too I guess...

 

Well, now I think about it, I was thinking of buying a Volks doll...
So, surprisingly, I feel really reassured to hear that they are heavy.
To me that almost reassures the excellent quality that you ARE GONNA GET if you get a Volks doll.
So yay!

my random phrase for today: Strawbeery cake tastes like strawberries!

 

There was a tangential discussion about the heaviest boys and girls in some other thread in here quite a while back and someone made a comment about comparing the weights of the roundabout 60cm guys and girls to the weights of big hardback books like... anthologies and dictionaries.

My Elfdoll Red weighs a little less than my Norton Anthology of English Literature?

 

Interesting discussion get me wonder how heavy are my Volks Sd13 and my Domuya Fin. So I went to weight them. Both under 2kg Volks 13 ~1.6kg, Domuya Fin ~1.7kg. No wonder I have got sore shoulder on sunday carrying a SD13 and unoa to the beach for photos.

 

some companies also change their resin composition every now and then.

the CP el i go about 2 years ago is the heaviest of all my CP boys, and is easily 500g heavier than my CP elf chiwoo.

so within the same company and doll size/type, the weight can vary as well.

 

Yu from Dollzone is a 70cm-doll and is listed with 4,8kg

 

I got the weight for my dollshe Saint, he comes out to around 2KG on my scale so not that heavy for a 70cm boy

 

ryog>> holy crap. o__o i surely hope some of that weight is the box and other packaging, man. a 4kg doll sounds insane to lug around. my friend's 70cm DZ body certainly didn't feel like 4kg, though.

 

I'm pretty sure it's with packaging - my Hound was 4,2 kg with his box/bag/accesories etc. But the doll itself is 'only' around 2kg...

 

My DOI Boy is sitting on my scale at work, and it's 2.1 kg. which is 4.6 lbs. He's loverly heavy.

 

i am not sure about that, it's just what i saw when i was at the hp from eden doll ^^' here is the link: http://www.edendoll.com/en/product/DL003937

 

i don't have any dolls, and i'm probably a ways away from being able to get one, but i was wondering approximately how much do they weigh?
i heard they're heavier than they look, but that doesn't tell me much.

 

I'm not too sure if this is the right place to ask, but how heavy are SD17s?

 

Don't know if this help my SD16 yuki is 1.96kg so Sd17 might be slightly heavier?

 

Now I think about it I suppose that is true but do you think Volks doll tends to be heavier than other make? Among my girls that is seems like the case (this is just observation I have not weigh them all)
