Doll News Monthly (January 2025)

Body: 

Hello and welcome to Doll News Monthly.
This month we talk a bit about a new kind of feature we are seeing in the doll market.
The new feature is hinged eye sockets above and below the eyes that allow you to open and close the top or bottom parts of the eyes ..

Now of course this is strictly for those that would like to pose there dolls for photos or just have more realism with the dolls.
I personally enjoy photographing my dolls and new fun features like this are always a welcome feature in my book.

I recently got myself a doll with this new feature and ill be reffering to there brand and models in this article.

So today we check out FunWest new heads ..
I recently got one of there FS Silicone line dolls and she is quite impressive.
I did a review about her and people really enjoyed the cool facial expressions she was able to do.
This is in part of FunWest new head designs.
There mouths open and close and have very nice looking teeth and a tongue inside the mouth even.
The upper and lower eye sockets have like hinged skeletons that you can push up or down and close up or open up the eyes.
This allows you to create a variety of looks and emotions..

There are other brands that are starting to release similar head desings and its very cool to see the new innovations ..

So I asked FunWest what they would say about there new eyes on there heads and this is what they said..
 

When you gently touch around her eye sockets, you'll feel a structure inside, almost like a small skeleton. By carefully locating the joint and applying slight pressure upwards, the lower eyelid moves upward. Similarly, by finding the upper eyelid's structure and gently pressing down, the eyelid lowers. This clever mechanism lets her wink at you! To reset her gaze, simply push the structure back in the opposite direction, and her big, expressive eyes will return to their original state.

 

Below are some photos of my FunWest dolls head and some fun expressions with her cool mouth and eyes..

I love the new technical improvements and features that doll companies are adding to there dolls but these fun features like this are just great fun :).
So tell me what you think about these fun new features that we are starting to see with the newer dolls being produced today?
