As Chinese New Year celebrations come to an end, things are returning back to normal. Although name-brands like WM Doll, Irontech, and Zelex are still nowhere to be seen, lesser-known brands like SY Doll, Ridmii, and Doll Hakoniwa quickly took their place. The Asian-market trend is back, so it’s full-on Japanese aesthetics, anime, and mini dolls from all sides this week. Therefore, expect a lot of variety and randomness this time around – mixed in with some standard SE Doll and Starpery news. Without further ado, let’s see what wacky new dolls came out this week.
SE Doll
SE Doll released a new TPE head called Alba. With unique eye makeup and lip piercings, this rocker girl is yet another pretty design from SE Doll.
This also shared a “softness comparison” video between their silicone and TPE material. A bit short and lacking other parts of the body, but it’s somewhat useful.
Starpery
Starpery teased their upcoming Weight Reduction 4.0. In this insightful post, Starpery gave a behind-the-scenes on how the 4.0 came to be. Although 3.0 successfully reduced the weight, there were many flaws such as visible seam-lines, firmness, and high defective rate. Not only did they solve these problems in 4.0, but they managed to reduce the weight even more:
- 172cm body: 35kg (W.R. 3.0) -> 29kg (W.R. 4.0).
- 151cm body: 25kg (W.R. 3.0) -> 19kg (W.R. 4.0).
That’s very impressive weight reduction, rivaling that of Tayu. They also made it much softer, which decreased body details as a consequence. Ultimately, 4.0 is a step in the right direction – softer and lighter seem to be the biggest trend as of late.
EXDOLL Robotics
Exdoll Robotics shared an interesting video where they added eye tracking and face detection to their robot. Slow and steady progress, although most of the video (like the gun-shooting and movement) is probably scripted as usual.
Bezlya
Bezlya shared some photos of their 153cm Nymphaea. I think this head is new, but I’m not 100% sure. The photos are very sexy.
Climax Doll
Climax Doll shared a new photoset of their 159cm Savannah, now with ROS mouth. With increased focus on BBW dolls lately, she has an attractive MILF-look.
XT Doll
XT Doll shared new photos of their 164cm Phoebe, this time with piercing green eyes. Very unique look with the dark eyeshadow and green eyes.
SHEDOLL
Shedoll showed off the custom makeup and eyes they did for their Tasha head. The makeup adds a nice glow to her face, and I included an original photo for comparison.
SY Doll / Rosretty
SY Doll (aka Rosretty) released several new silicone heads with ROS mouths. When not fiddling with AI, their silicone head sculpts are actually quite good. I’ll show two heads that I liked: Head M18 and S22 – one seductive and one cute.
Although I avoid AI photos, SY Doll has been hammering them out lately. I found one with and without AI so it’s the perfect chance to compare them. While they do look very similar, the AI photos look noticeably more fake and deceptive.
With AI
Without AI
Ridmii
Speaking of AI, another brand that uses it often is Ridmii. Since they’re also made at the SY factory, it’s not really surprising. When they’re not using AI, the head sculpts look pretty decent (and they also have ROS mouths).
Nianta Doll
A new brand popped up called Nianta Doll (made in an existing factory). They have all the standard features like ROS mouth, implanted hair, and heating. Apparently they have oral heating, lower body heating, and liquid heating (which are their top features). I was going to guess they’re made by Jinsan for the oral heating (and it looks like Head LS#63), but it could be Bezlya because of the liquid heating. Aesthetically, it looks like FU Doll.. so many possible factories..
Real Girl
Real Girl released a new head which I think looks very pretty. As mentioned before, they’re a weird brand whose dolls come from many different factories. Impossible to know the quality, but this is one of the prettiest heads I’ve seen in a while.
Note: Apparently, these photos used AI, but so subtly that I didn’t even notice.. I guess I was fooled this time.
Doll Hakoniwa
Originally there wasn’t much news so I wrote a bit about Doll Hakoniwa. They’re a new brand that makes cute anime dolls (silicone head + TPE or silicone body). They randomly appeared a few months ago and seem pretty active on Twitter. With a few heads and bodies, they range from 126cm-148cm (18-28 kg).
MLW
MLW shared a new photoset of their hybrid 148B Hatsuka. She looks pretty cute here. Additionally, they shared photos of the 60cm with Head M1, which will start the mini doll segment.
Mozu Doll
Mozu Doll released a new head on their 85cm body. It’s called something like “Little White Dragon,” but I don’t know the actual name. Another cute addition to their many mini doll heads.
Fangblue GK
A long time ago, I showed some mini dolls from Fangblue GK, which Kumadoll calls Bloedoll. They released a new one that looks like 2B from Nier: Automata. Although a figurine in style, she has a usable vagina.
Max Milk Studio & Manyou
If you remember the 76cm Eimi Fukada teaser a few months ago, they shared actual photos of her now. I’m not sure if presales are still ongoing, but the estimated shipping date is Q3-Q4 2024. The figure looks quite good and greatly resembles the JAV star.
Fantasy Doll / Figure
The vendor, My Robot Doll, added a new brand called Fantasy Figure or Fantasy Doll. I wasn’t going to show this, but considering it’s mini doll week, it fits the theme. From what I can tell, these dolls don’t actually have sexual function; they’re like BJDs but in full silicone. The main takeaway (especially since many brands have 60cm dolls) is that the sex doll and figurine community have somewhat overlapped (at least in Asia). Brands introduced usable figurines to doll owners, and now doll owners might want normal (non-sexual) ones as well?
Conclusion
That wraps up another week of sex doll news. As the CNY holidays conclude and factories re-open, we should start seeing more releases again soon. The highlight this week was Starpery’s Weight Reduction 4.0 which shows an industry trend toward lighter and softer silicone dolls. A much-needed step in the right direction.
Every few months, we’re also reminded that the doll market is much bigger in Asia than in the West. Although many brands tap into the Western niche, most sales still come from Asia. Therefore, Asian and Japanese-inspired dolls including anime and mini dolls are always trending. This usually involves lesser-known brands, which I showed a couple of (and there’s still more I haven’t shown yet). It’s always interesting to see what’s out there besides the usual “Western-style” brands. Anyway, let’s see what interesting developments 2024’s Year of the Dragon will bring.

Hey ! Where did you got thoses videos from Fangblue GK 2B model ? I had super hard time to find the official website, maybe you should post here some URL ?
Also i needed more information about the material used, is it silicon ?
Thx
Oh wow, that Nianta Doll looks great. I hope some vendors carry that brand. I browse around and couldn’t find any vendor, tdf and non tdf, carries it.
Wow! Starpery’s 150cm doll is gonna be lighter than piper doll’s 130 cm tpe phoebe!
Glad you’re back after the CNY break! I wanted to share something with you for a possible blog topic. Irontech has been quietly rolling out weight reduction on their silicone dolls. Vendors still show the old weights, but Irontech’s website shows the new ones. I’ve found a difference on the 159, 163, 165, and 167.
Recent TDF reviews of the 163 and 167 confirm the lower weight, so it appears to be a real thing. You would think Irontech would make a major announcement, but maybe they’re waiting to do a few more dolls.
Cheers!
Is the Eimi Fukada doll of the same brand as Tifa mini doll we’ve seen some time ago?
Kind of, yes. They’re both under Manyou but I don’t know exactly how it works. Eimi is Max Milk Studio x Manyou, while the Tifa is SGD Studio x Manyou. SGD Studio emailed me as Manyou so I’m guessing Manyou is some kind of parent company or something..
Hi SEXDOLLS,
Do you know what happened to YBDoll? I don’t know if it is just me but it looks like their website is down
Hi Robert,
I don’t know what happened to them but their website went down over a week ago. You can use ymdoll which is the same website on a different domain.
Nianta Doll liquid heating seems pretty cool. More doll brands should do that.
Real girl’s heads look great!
Manyou looks so pretty!
