 The image to the left is what you may expect of a torso with backside. It is an image of the full-body doll, but the backside is identical in every way. We will post images of the torso with backside at the conclusion of the test period (when we feel we have a stable product).

Like the existing torso, the casting ends at the knees and elbows.

Unlike the existing torso, there will be an anal entry.

Unlike the existing torso, there will be an embedded soft fiberglass mesh to provide dimensional stability and avoid 1) unrealistic distortion of the casting due to gravity against the backside, which is no longer flat, and 2) to avoid elongation of the torso during use or when it is picked up. Accordingly, one feature that will be lost is the ability to stretch the torso for a long and lean look or to compress it in order to emphasis the hips, as is possible with the existing torso without the reinforcement.

One design objective was to keep costs below the $4500 mark, which is what a torso with backside would cost if it included a fully articulated skeleton (which would end up being a full-body doll without forearms or lower legs). We surpassed the goal by reducing costs to $2900 for the one-part casting by utilizing a rudimentary "skeleton" of soft fiberglass mesh, which greatly reduced costs due to man-hours of labor and substantial material costs for the full skeleton, spine, and skull. Preliminary feedback based on email inquiries led us to believe that the full skeleton would not be a desirable feature to most customers because of the cost.

Whether one is an "ass man" or not, having a set of buttocks to grab during intercourse is a highly desirable feature, whether one is on top or on the bottom. We can now provide this.

The new product offering was 4 years in development, and we are now inviting a very limited number of beta testers prior to making a general product roll-out announcement.

Hello,
Welcome to the Full-Torso information page. We are currently inviting testers to participate in evaluating our new Full Torso with backside. Priority for test candidates goes first to our past customers , and then to new customers. If you already own a torso, call or write us for solutions for retro-fitting a backside to your existing torso. There is an upgrade path available to you.

The Demand
We receive over 1000 emails each day, every day of the week (mostly Spam), but what isn't Spam are emails asking about a torso with backside or full-body doll. Inquiries about our existing torso are a fraction of that. Until now, we have had to give people the disappointing news that what they wanted was not available. Because it is so hard to wait for something this cool, it was decided not even to offer hope of a forthcoming product, since we were already under enough pressure trying to keep up with existing torso demand, and we didn't know when we would complete development. We have just now passed the critical point in product design and development, and we are ready to beta test the new product. If any of this is interesting to you, read on.

The Design Objective
The design objective of the torso with backside was to make it for less than 75% of the cost of the full-body doll (under $4500). We did it for 35% less than the target price by utilizing a rudimentary "skeleton" of soft fiberglass mesh, which greatly reduced costs due to a savings in both man-hours of labor and substantial material costs for the full skeleton, spine, ribs, and skull. As we have told many who asked in the past, if we had put a contoured backside on our existing torso (without a skeleton or reinforcement solution of some kind), the weight of the gel would have caused unrealistic distortion. For instance, the head would have flattened, widening the facial features. It was the friction from the mattress against the flat back surface of our existing torso that prevented this undesirable effect. We have overcome this design challenge without sacrificing the softness or durability of the gel, which is (along with our lifecasting process) our signature distinction, the one that separates us from our silicone competitors.

The Invitation and Offer
Our existing customers have had a chance to decide whether to participate in the test or wait for product roll-out in 1st quarter, 2006. Accordingly, the invitation to testers can now be extended to a few members of the general public. You are invited to be considered as a candidate for participation in the Torso with Backside Test Group.

If chosen, testers who desire accessory items (wig and eyes), may purchase these at any time at additional cost. Eyes (prosthetic quality) are $110, and wigs start at $59 (for the blonde Farah, our best value and most popular wig). You may simply add these items to the order form and add the additional amount to the already discounted total listed in this offer.

Call to Action (How to assure your place as a tester)
If you wish to be considered as a candidate for this test, then advise of this at once. We will continue to search for suitable candidates until we have our test group, at while time participation will be closed. We are limiting participation in this test to only a few participants (as opposed to past tests), and if we need more testers later to refine some nuance of the production process, we will make a separate announcement. In order to be considered for inclusion in the test group, candidates must meet the following requirements:
  • Testers must be able to place an order (at the discount stated in the pricing list)
  • Testers must be willing to provide honest, detailed, and accurate feedback on their impression of the product being tested (one page with 6 questions is our typical questionnaire)
  • Testers agree to allow us to quote them (anonymously, of course)
  • Testers agree to become members of the Doll Forum (it's free), as a means of sharing information with non-testers. Participation in online discussions is purely voluntary.

We can evaluate your request for inclusion either by email or by phone in most cases (unless we are waiting to hear back from someone ahead of you). Afternoon, Pacific Standard Time is the best time to call.

Thank you for your time in evaluating this invitation. Please feel free to call or write if you have questions, and we will send you a more detailed version of the above invitation, including pertinent instructions for what to do to become a tester.

With warm regards,
Kyle Bronson, VP Operations
