So at some point, I plan to order a Raccoon Doll Kyrie. He’s a beautiful doll, but I do plan to make some modifications to fit the character I have in mind. Man body As you can see, he has a prominent six pack which I plan to either sand down or fill in the gaps with Apoxie, as well as a smaller penis than I prefer for this character. So, I was wondering if I were to give him a bigger package, should I dremel his existing penis off, and sculpt a new one from scratch, or should I cover what’s there with Apoxie?
I remember that a long time ago some people would mod them off and replace with a magnetic one. Personally I think it's the way to go because if it's big enough you might be in the dreaded pants crotch split territory when sitting him down if it's a static penis.
Cool! I have considered doing just that, but I admit I am very prone to losing small objects Do you have ideas for what magnets to use in that situation? I found these, and they seem to be a good size for this: Amazon.com
I’d use the strongest you can get personally! I’ve been known to use neodynium magnets for attaching horns, and this would be similar. You may also consider a really tight pair of undies under his clothes to “catch” it if it falls off while he’s dressed!
I have a Huajing boy with a magnetised penis and honestly, they're fun but they're also very annoying when it comes to dressing or undressing your doll because you will fling the penis off somewhere and then have to go hunt for it. My SatoriaJ boys and their sculpted bits are much easier to dress.
It looks like there are pros and cons to both types of genital attachment. I am also planning to get an Iplehouse FID male, and I’m think their penises are just big enough, so if I’m planning on having it permanently attached, I could model it after the FIDs as well as the SartoriaJ dolls, though I’m not planning on getting one at this point.
If it's just for the aesthetics inside clothes, you could also DIY a packer and make it soft so it bends with the clothes when posing the doll. Probably way less wardrobe malfunctions that way! And if you're into a more lifelike variant in the end, it's also a simple way to gauge how a certain size looks before committing.
There are plenty of more detailed tutorials online but I think a very simple way would be to stuff the underwear with some foam or fabric or make something with an elastic strap so it doesn't move around.
I agree with @Novalyna – I actually had a body with a large sculpted penis (Dollshe, what on earth...) destroy 2 pairs of trousers. If you were going to go the magnet route, I've had good experiences with Frenergy Magnets for strong headcap magnet replacements (funnily enough also for the pants-destroying doll). You could also sculpt a "cup" type piece that would provide a natural masculine silhouette for trousers while being less pants-destroying – some male bodies come with one. @cobaltconduct 's solution is also worth thinking about from a less permanent/subtractive modding angle. If you do decide to go the magnet route, please take proper precautions to avoid inhaling resin dust!
Thanks everyone for the advice! By the way, i notice that dolls that have interchangeable penises have an indent on their crotch for the magnet to go into, but I think it would be easier for me as a modder to have the magnet be outside the doll’s body, and have the genital attachment be the one with the indent. Would that work?
You could also if possible glue a magnet inside the abdomen piece. My abidoll 75 body I believe has that situation going on or the magnet is just in the resin. I often prefer just yoinking away their junk if magnetized while in pants and keeping it with the rest of my various resin bits.
I just busted up laughing! apparently I can be mature when discussing sculpting and getting the details one wants but the mental image... FLING!!
The Dollshe Mystic body actually has a hole going straight through the pelvis and the penis (or optional cap part) is strung on with a super thin elastic and hooked on with a tiny S hook. There's an optional "smooth cap" part that you can change out the way you would change a hand, but for the penis itself, I just appreciate that it has free side to side movement instead of stabbing through inseams. That's probably how I would prefer to do it as a mod. It's attached so it's harder to lose!
I found this video on YouTube While it’s about making magnetized hands, it did make me a bit more confident about doing this, and even showed me a good place to get magnets in the US! But now I need to worry about polarity when the time comes. At least I could just make a new penis if I get it wrong
I don't have anything to contribute to the tech here, but I wanted to say I appreciate that everyone is having such a responsible and mature discussion about what could be a delicate topic
