Midiman’s Boytoy – Full Framed Silicone Doll

April-Autumn Faces

Hmmm, VERY horny looking....and the doll's not bad either :)

I first heard about the Boytoy a little more than a year ago.  Designed as a pet project of Mat MacMullen, the creator of RealDolls, the first Boytoys were offered December 2007. 

The first photos I saw sparked my interest.  They looked cool and I liked many of the features. BUT the price seemed steep.  When I got to see one sitting in the showroom at Abyss during my visit last June, I thought…wow…cool…sexy…liftable…

These dolls have great charm.  They are a bit like  comic or cartoon character come to life. Made to be light weight they are more a caricature of a woman than a replica.  They won’t be as easy as a RealDoll to buy clothes for, but if you like fantasy and nice petit waistlines and perky boobs, these dolls are for you. 

I ordered an April model, with additional Summer and Autumn faces. 

One of the nicest but most controversial features of the Boytoy are the big beautiful eyes. Some love them - some hate them.  That’s why Phoenix also brought out the Summer face, followed by the Autumn. Both these faces sport regular eyes and without question are beautiful to look at.

I called my  big eyed girl, Gabrielle and haven’t actually named the other two faces.  As a matter of fact I’m torn on the naming issue.  The faces are certainly what make the dolls unique.  They all share the same body.  For now, it will be Gabrielle, with three faces.   Hey, and why not?  It gives new meaning to what I always heard my mother say to my dad when getting ready to go out, “Be ready in a couple minutes, dear, I’m just putting on my face.”  So why not.  If it was good enough for my mom, it works for me.  Mind you, mother never looked as ghastly as Gabrielle during the procedure :)

Boytoys are the only major line I know of that can close their eyes. (big eyed faces only). For those that like to have a doll to ‘snuggle up’ to at night, it is more comforting to wake up and see an eyes closed, sleeping doll than an eyes wide open death stare.  Something about the eyes wide open at night that gives me the heeby jeebies.

When my Boytoy arrived from Phoenix Studios, it was sitting on the front step, upright.
Even though I was expecting a delivery within the next day or so, one glance at the box and my brain told me my wife had ordered a new coffee table.  There was no way they could fit a life size doll in a box that small.  Besides, no one would just leave a $7500 doll on my front step without a signature, would they?   Well apparently they did., however, living in a VERY rural area, she didn’t disappear unlike a Lincoln Continental might if parked on a side street in Modesto, CA.

When I lugged the box down to the studio my other dolls were overcome with excitement…yeah, right.  Actually Janelle and Myuki two of my Teddy Babes high tailed it upstairs to catch some TV.  Bianca, Ruby, Nita, Samantha and Jessica decided to be polite and stick around to greet the new arrival.  They looked about as excited as a patient in a dentist’s waiting room.  Oh well, they all knew that the new arrival meant I wouldn’t be paying them much attention for awhile.  One thing I do when I review a doll is spend time with it – lots of time, and that to the exclusion of the other dolls.  I want to catch the total experience as if it is the only doll I have.

Unpacking took a few minutes and lifting her out of the box was not all too difficult.  Both extra faces and inserts were also packed in the box with her.  One nice thing about these beautiful dolls, they’ll never leave you and break your heart and at 65 pounds, Gabrielle won’t break your back either..  None the less, 65 pounds is still a lot of weight to lift and more than enough to cause injury if you don’t do it right so be careful when you move her around.

Out of the box the Boytoy can be a little stiff.  It would be nice if there was a basic usage and care pamphlet with the doll like you get with the Teddy Babes. 

I did not find out until much later that basic care information is on their website.  Only costs a few cents to include a printed 10 page manual on unpacking, positioning, cleaning and maintenance, and a doll that rings at the top of the price spectrum should certainly have one.

Whereas the doll can be stiff at first, it is sometimes necessary to bend the wrist at a right angle to the arm so you can leverage it to turn.  In actual fact, the swivel is farther up the arm and not at the wrist, but accomplishes the task. The box was a tight fit.  There isn’t enough padding at either end in my mind and she did arrive with a bent neck.  Not so much you notice, but enough to require attention so the faces would fit.  Mind you she was well protected otherwise.

The faces are a delight to work with…at least the Summer & Autumn.  I had a lot of trouble removing

BT_summer_face_midiman

and reinstalling the Big Eyed April face.  Do not try to do so with the doll upright, or you will probably have eyes rolling on the floor. 

I found the best way to put the April face on was to lie Gabrielle on her back.  That way the eyes would stay set in their sockets while I installed the face.  Also, I found adding a little lubricant made all the difference in repositioning the eyes.  Lubricant does dry with time, so you will have to wash the eyes periodically and reapply. What I especially liked about the faces was the magnetic “snap” system rather than the velcro.  Mind you, I did find the snaps on the April Face needed to be slightly farther forward.  As they were, the face pushed slightly forward at the sides of the eyes, making a rather unnatural space between the eye and outside corners of the eye hole.

  BT Faces

It may be related to the bang the doll must have gotten in shipment, however, so I’d be interested in hearing from others as to how well their faces fit.  The Autumn and Summer faces looked fine.  OF course they have the standard eyes mounted into the face, so installation can be done with the doll upright.  I was a little disappointed in the way you have to keep tucking he lower part of the face under the jaw. If you don’t your doll will have a rather square looking face….even chipmunk cheeks.  Definitely the face system could use a little more attention in these areas.  I will say, when you get it right, she’s cute and sexy and worth the effort.

Insert From

With a full frame the dolls are very posable, so if you like to take photos, or just make your doll look sexy, she’s very obliging. 

These dolls are also made to perform and sport removable inserts.  I had quite some time getting the vaginal/anal insert into the doll – and was worried I might break the small cross section between the anal and vaginal holes in the doll. 

The insert is one pieces with two holes that line up accordingly.   It was not until I was at their booth at AVN that I actually got to see a proper install.  He simply rubbed some lubricant on the outside of the insert and slid it into place with little or no effort.  Gee, and here I thought lubricants were for the inside of the inserts…doh!  Of course instructions in the box would have been nice for that too.

Insert
The mouth insert is easy to install and remove.  It is ‘shallow’ about three inches.  Apparently many people do not use their dolls for oral sex.  Most fear ripping the sides of the mouths. I don’t think there is any danger of that with this doll as the insert is not integrated to the face which has more give.  The teeth are made of the same material as the insert and if you do use it for oral sex, you can expect her to lose a few teeth.  Fortunately you won’t need a dental surgeon. You can simply get another. As a matter of fact, for those who wish to use their dolls for play AND display I suggest a separate set of inserts for each.  Displaying a doll with missing teeth, looks bad and tells your friends where you’ve been if you leave her out on display. 

Virtually every male I have ever questioned in private conversation has admitted he would try the doll.  There is still some social stigma attached to dolls, BUT we are becoming such a sexually liberated society, with sex toy sales at record levels, it is only a matter of  time before you’ll hear, “Wow, you’ve got a life size Silicone Doll.  What kind is it?  I’ve been thinking of getting one.”

Now on to what you’ve really been wanting to know, how is the sex?  Over the last year I have not encountered anyone with a BoyToy that has complained about the sex,with the exception that some find the insert a little on the tight side.  Perhaps these people should set their sites on an acting job in Hollywood’s adult entertainment industry :)

The oral works.  Not as good as a RealDoll and far short of the Ruby, BUT more than adequate.  One problem is the insert sits flush with the front of the mouth.  The lower jaw, although slightly filed, still needs to be more rounded. The insert tends to push back to expose it, which  is almost akin to feeling teeth during oral sex with a real partners.
If you intend on using the mouth, I’d recommend sanding the upper edge of the lower job to be rounder.  Trust me, you’ll be glad you did.

BT Face

As to the vaginal and anal openings?  They are much softer than a RealDoll or the Ruby. Sometimes the insert tends to push into the cavity.  Using lots of lube (inside the insert) helps prevent this.  The feel is certainly closer to a real vagina than most dolls, owing to the softer material.  I’m not one to do anal sex with a real partner so I can’t compare, but with dolls, it’s just another hole.  That’s how I look at it anyway, and it feels a little tighter than the vaginal entry. She’s good in numerous sexual positions…..missionary, on the edge of the bed or a chair for normal sex. 

BT_sex_position_on_back

If you find it exciting with a real female partner bending over the back of a couch with her legs spread, the Boytoy will do it for you.  She takes the brunt of her weight on her stomach,  Be sure you don’t use her breast to keep her from sliding backwards as they are not designed to support.  I found it easiest to use the anal entry from behind, but if you use a couch back as in the photo, you can lean her over a little farther and use the vaginal entry from behind. Although she looks like she’s standing the feet are barely touching the floor and are not supporting her.  At best, they can provide a little stabilization., but she looks great.

Standing_rear entry

Also she can kneel and lean on the cushion of the couch from the front.  Plan on using the anal entry for that.  Remember, it’s just another hole and does not present bacterial risks as real anal sex does.  OF course at under 65 pounds you can use this doll for cowgirl and reverse cowgirl positions as well.  And don't stop there, you can build your muscles doing curls with her ;)

That’s it for the Boytoy.  I’ve had her for two months now.  No rips, no tears, no breaks and lots of  playtime.  Sure a few teeth missing, but the new ‘display’ mouth insert is on the way….I hope.

In summary, the doll is well made and durable. One body…lots of faces…lot’s of fantasy girls.  Anyone looking for a fantasy doll that is light weight with posable frame, has lot’s of personalities to choose from, removable inserts that are easy to clean,  and a well established company to back them up, I’d recommend this doll.  Sure, it is expensive, BUT, given the relative life expectancy of a platinum silicone doll, the yearly cost differential may not be that much more over a cheaper doll.
