These dolls aren’t your granny’s porcelain figurines.

Think keeping a steel sword sharp is hard? Try preserving a silicone sorceress: ​​Weekly potion baths​​: pH 5.5 cleanser (45% faster than human-sized dolls) ​​Joint lubrication​​: Food-grade oil every 15 pose changes ​​Wig care​​: That fiery red hair? Hand-wash monthly or risk a Medusa look

Reddit user u/WhiteWolf_89 admits: “I spent 3 hours untangling her hair after trying the ‘Geralt’s beard’ move. Never again.”
