Ideal size and weight for realistic dolls: how to choose comfortably

The size and weight of a realistic doll directly influence the user experience, transportation, and maintenance. In this chapter, you'll learn how to choose a model that suits your needs, avoiding surprises with dolls that are too heavy or difficult to handle.

Why does weight matter?

Realistic dolls can weigh between 45 and 100 pounds, depending on the material and height. Lighter models are easier to store and move, especially for beginners.

Height and proportion

Dolls between 140 cm and 165 cm are the most sought-after because they offer a balance between realism and practicality. Larger dolls require more space and physical strength.

Practical comparison

Height	Average weight	Suitable for
140 cm	~25 kg	Beginners, reduced spaces
155 cm	~30 kg	Regular use, balance
165 cm	~35–40 kg	Maximum realism, collectors

Tips for choosing safely

• Check the weight before purchasing — never rely solely on pictures
• Consider your physical strength and available space.
• Avoid very tall models if it is your first doll.
