Well, I got my first doll a couple of months ago. I got Emma who is only 2' tall,(first time buyer so went cheap LOL!), and I was surprised. She was everything 'advertised' but, small as she is, weighs a ton! only two feet tall but weighs over ten pounds. Since I have no experience with doll's I thought she would be good for a start, then go to a larger size. I live alone so have no problem 'keeping her out of sight' but, you would think they could make a doll a little lighter. Maybe it's just me and I'm not used to moving 'dead weight. I would love to know the 'engineering' that goes into this as I personally would use Aluminum frames/skeleton and maybe light foam interior with the TPE exterior. I definitely will get a larger doll but would like opinion's/suggestion's and any advice you all have to give on how you 'manage' the weight problem. Or, is it even a problem for you?

Congrats on your first doll! I have the Juno 156cm and she weighs around 75lbs. She’s very heavy, but over time I’ve gotten used to her weight, to where I can now move her around fairly easily. A few tips I would give tho:
Don’t get discouraged if your doll feels really heavy right now, especially if it’s your first doll and you’re not used to the weight. Take it easy and don’t hurt yourself or your doll.
I found that bear hugging my girl, Boxer, from behind and lifting her up via the waist is easier for me, but only for short distance moving, like adjusting her on the bed. I don’t recommend doing this to move your doll too far tho, because the legs and feet can drag and you can end up tearing them up, especially on hard floors.
It’s easier to lift up these dolls when you have them kinda sitting up, so that you can carry them bridal style. I usually put one arm around Boxer’s back and the other underneath her knees, pulling her close to me and slowly lifting up. I usually do this when I’m moving her off the bed and onto the computer chair for temporary placement.
Speaking of chairs, for much heavier dolls, I recommend getting a wheelchair or a moving computer chair, because it makes it easier to move your doll around the house without having to carry her. Be mindful of the feet when she’s in a chair tho. I made the mistake of having Boxer’s feet touch the floor and they got scuffed up a bit.
Hope these tips help!
yes, they are heavier than expected. If getting a taller doll Think first if you can carry a 50 lbs or more doll. It will be a struggle to move her.
