Adam here for this one.

Coeros is a company that every doll owner should be familiar with. They offer a wide variety of products for doll owners that you won’t find many other places, even vendors. (And hey, they can sell you a doll too!)

At Coeros you’ll find everything from cleaning kits and machines to repair kits to storage boxes and moving cases, to accessories and clothing. If you are a new doll owner or a prospective doll owner. Head on over to their website and see what they offer. I personally have used a couple of their repair kits and have a few storage briefcases that Lara and Vicky fit perfectly inside. They make quality products and have great customer service.

So already I have good things to say about them and this is going to be even more. I was lucky enough to be contacted by one of their representatives and given the offer to review one of their products. And the one that I had really been thinking about the most but just never pulled the trigger on yet was a doll stand.

Luckily, they agreed! So I got the opportunity to build and use and now review their 3-in-1 Multifunction Doll Display Stand.

So what is a doll stand for? Obviously as the description states, it is excellent for displaying your doll. For me as someone who does a lot of photography with my dolls, it’s a great tool. As normally I have to find spots in the house where I can lean the dolls against a wall for standing support, or have to take pictures of them on the couch or a bed or chair etc.

So a doll stand allows me to pose these girls and take their picture anywhere in the house. It’s also just convenient for moving them around the house, say to the bathroom for cleaning. Or even just keep them still as you apply things like powder or do other regular maintenance.

Lastly it can just be kind of something you use for storage. Carefully balancing your doll with either the crotch support stand or the neck attachment and evenly distributing the weight between the doll’s feet and other attachment point, you can leave a doll standing up for a longer time without risking damage to say the feet from warping under the weight of the doll’s skeleton. This is primarily concerning silicone dolls that have hard silicone feet for standing.

So how is the stand? Honestly, the hardest part was just getting everything out of the protective wrapping. If that’s the worst thing I can say, it’s actually a compliment: everything comes super secure in bubble wrap.

Once I got everything out, assembly was pretty easy. Coeros does have an assembly video on their YouTube channel as well as on the product page.

It’s pretty self-explanatory though. The first thing you’re going to do is attach the wheels to the base. The base is incredibly heavy by the way which is excellent because that’s part of what keeps everything sturdy and centered so your doll doesn’t tip over.

Once you have the wheels on, you get to decide which of the three display methods you want to use. This will either be the crotch support, waist support, or neck support functions. For the waist support and neck support options you are going to use the taller support beam and attach it near the back of the base by screwing it in from the bottom.

Depending on whether you want to use the pad for waist support (which includes a belt strap to keep your doll secure) or the neck support attachment, you’ll adjust the height accordingly. It’s a good idea to get some measuring tape and measure the height of each support point on your doll. Crotch, lower back/waist, and neck so that you can have the height of every attachment on the stand at the correct height before attempting to place your doll onto it.

I am most interested in the neck attachment, as I believe it will be the most versatile for posing and would allow for changing clothes on the doll below the waist to have a little bit more ease and support. But, I decided to first test out sturdiness, balance, some posing, and standing display with the crotch support attachment. I especially had a cosplay in mind that would work very well with this attachment without it showing up in pictures.

So I took Vicky and dressed her up in an overdue Supergirl cosplay.

It’s not much else to say other than, it works! Once I had her on the stand I adjusted the attachment to get as high as possible so that it is securely pressed into her, this allows her to have a lot of weight supported from the padded attachment itself along with her feet helping support and balance so that she does not tip over from left or right. The actual support pad itself keeps her from tipping over backwards or forwards.

I practiced locking and unlocking the wheels to make sure that the stand is mobile and easy to move her around with as well as secure and stable when locked for posing and adjusting her. I’m sure enough, I was able to easily do a pretty routine variation of poses for a quick little photo shoot. Only instead of needing her balanced against a wall or a door, I was able to do it directly in the middle of the living room, without worrying about her falling over.

I have to say I am happier than I expected to be, because this ultimately was one support attachment I didn’t think I was going to be interested in. But that almost drove my decision to try it out anyway. And sure enough, it works exactly as intended. I don’t think anybody would be disappointed by the quality and function of this doll stand if they decided to purchase one. Great job Coeros. I can’t wait to use it for even more photoshoots.

Who is this stand not for? For anyone who really isn’t interested in displaying or photographing their dolls. If your dolls are mostly just in bed and never really posed or shared in pictures, this may seem like overkill just for maintenance use. But if your doll is a star, it’s well worth it.

P.S. I’m aware most of this review focused on the crotch configuration, but I’ll be using the neck stand attachment a lot for dressing and more dynamic posing, so I will revisit this after I’ve put that through its paces as well.
