Research continues on the composition of doll flesh; however it is known that most, if not all, of the dolls of Doll Games are made entirely of plastic: a synthetic material well known for its role in the mass production of the first B*****. Plastic can be soft and fleshy, as in the rubbery vinyl limbs of a Skipper or Fluff, or hard and shell-like, as in their torsos. Although it does not decay like organic matter, it can become discolored, break, or tear; plastic joints may wear down, leading to the loss of a limb, and plastic hair, unless molded to the head, may fray and fall out.
solid but deformable under pressure: like butter.
A synthetic resin which (a) generally has a high molecular weight;(b) is made up of at least two atoms;(c) is sold in its unprocessed and processed states but in between, while it is being processed into finished items, is softened enough through the combined application heat, pressure, and mechanical working to be formed into various shapes.
