HOLLOW SILICONE???

Post by Brooke »

Is there such a thing as a hollow silicone doll/kit. Hollow head, body and limbs like a vinyl kit? I'm really disappointed with the extreme weight of the new silicone kit I just received, and she isn't even a fbs. But she IS beautiful.

Melissa McCrory makes the hollow ones and they are so much lighter in weight.

I would imagine that at least the head could be hollowed out. If any of the pieces are hollowed out too much it will cause the silicone to be fragile and it could collapse. I think it also depends on the type of silicone. I think Melissa McCrory usually only hollows out dragonskin silicone. Hopefully she can give more insight on that :)

I love my McCrory toddlers. They're not heavy at all.
