October is here, and so is Golden Week, a week-long national holiday in China from Oct 1-7. If you just ordered a doll or plan to, keep in mind that all factories will be closed during this time. As Chinese workers return home to their families (and detoxify all the TPE fumes they inhaled), things will be quiet for a while. However, there is one final stretch of news before the week-long break. Mini sex dolls are the hottest new industry trend. This week, several brands released mini dolls in record numbers. It’s mini doll season, or as some people like to call them, “lap dolls.” Whether you like mini dolls or not, many newcomers see them as affordable introductions into the doll hobby (although they’re definitely not for everyone). Stay tuned for mini dolls, doll cosplays, and interesting educational videos.
Qita
Qita released a new 60cm doll called Xiao Xiaoqi. I don’t usually cover Qita, but they were part of the mini doll trend this week.
Irontech
Irontech released their 100cm silicone mini doll with head N2 Eva. The head was downscaled from Irontech’s versatile S15 Eva head. Last week, they showcased the N3 Yu head, meaning there’s still one more N-series head they haven’t revealed yet. Compared to Yu, Eva has a more mature and seductive look.
AXB Doll
AXB Doll released a new 85cm silicone mini doll called Mini Maya. She is a smaller version of their 147cm Marya, a Marie Rose-inspired doll. Marie Rose (from Dead or Alive) seems popular among several brands lately.
Irokebijin
Irokebijin released a new TPE 110cm body with two anime heads. The heads feature exaggerated anime expressions: one with a long, pointy tongue (Koharu) and another with closed eyes (Hina). Since this is Irokebijin’s most controversial body thus far (and isn’t publicly advertised), I won’t really show the body. Basically, the body resembles a chubby loli with minimal curves. Therefore, it no longer looks like a scaled-down doll. You’ll have to look it up yourself.
Zelex
Zelex released a new hybrid sex doll with silicone Head GE93 and TPE 160cm body. She is cosplayed as Yor Forger from the popular anime, Spy x Family.
JY Doll
JY Doll released a realistic masturbator sex toy. The design looks much more realistic than the vaginas on their sex dolls, and it’s also textured inside. It reminds me of Zelex’s removeable labia. Maybe they will be insertable one day, but for now, they look like high-end fleshlights. They did not specify what material it’s made of.
Elsa Babe
Elsa Babe released the Naruto-inspired doll they teased last week, still only known as Oiroke no Jutsu (Sexy Technique). I’m guessing that’s the official name. It actually looks pretty good here compared to the teaser photos.
Gynoid Tech
Gynoid published a video series demonstrating how to move and pose their dolls. These tutorials are useful for newcomers learning how to correctly bend their doll’s joints. Needless to say, these tips can be applied to other brands, not just Gynoid (although the skeleton flexibility and head connections may differ between brands).
TAYU
TAYU shared a video showcasing the softness of their new 161cm body with Peach head. Usually weight-reduced dolls are firmer, but TAYU dolls are both lightweight and soft. Supposedly, they are even softer now and equally as light (161cm = 26 kg or 57 lbs). TAYU also released a silicone display bust, which is basically a fancy headstand.
LAS (Last Order)
As some random news of the week, LAS released a Dark Magician Girl TPE doll. Since they don’t ship outside of China, I rarely cover them, but this is a character I thought would come out sooner. The height is unclear but they called it a 1:1.
Future Doll
Last but not least, Future Doll teased an upcoming silicone mini doll. It looks relatively small with 2 anime-inspired heads. No details yet on the height.
That wraps up the final bit of news before Golden Week in China. It was quieter this week, mainly because this only covers 4 days of news. Mini dolls are on the rise. Last month, JY Doll released many mini dolls, and other brands are now following the trend. Some brands like Irokebijin (and “secret brand”) are getting very confident, and releasing secret dolls into the Japanese market. If you don’t like mini dolls, that’s ok. In my opinion, they’re more like giant toys or action figures than companions. Also, Irontech’s 100cm dolls caused heated debate on TDF once again.
In other news, Tesla revealed their Optimus robot prototype a few days ago. It was a bit anti-climatic and years behind companies like Boston Dynamics, but it wasn’t bad for about 1 year of development. Perhaps Elon Musk should have bought Boston Dynamics for 1/40th the price he paid for Twitter. However, unlike most robotics companies, Tesla does plan to make their robots sexually-compatible and relatively affordable (and Musk confirmed a “catgirl” version of the robot). Things are on the right track in terms of robotics. Anyway, because of Golden Week, there likely won’t be any news for a while. Things will quickly get back on track once factories re-open. As always, keep your dolls close and stay tuned for more sex doll news.
Thoughts on the mini doll trend, dolls cosplayed as anime/game characters, or other news? Comment below!
The mini dolls look great, easy to pick up, and easy to hide. Not allowed where I live where they have to be massively tall, have ridiculous boobs the size of watermelons, weigh 50Kgs, and have faces on par with 40-year-old hookers, just in case they look even remotely young enough to be desirable. TBH The vote buying politicians just don’t want us having fun at all, got to impress the straight-laced, religious, and hypocritical subset of human beings they call the ‘electorate’ It All looks like a candy shop to me, looking through the window but not allowed in (even with a pocket full of money).
Its dark magician girl :O
I personally think that Optimus has some potential and they can improve quickly given time. I mean they got this out in under a year.
Hi Jackson,
After looking more into the Optimus robot, I agree with you. I think it does have a lot of potential. They certainly have the money, investors, and talent to make it happen. I wonder how much progress they’ll make by next year.
Yeah it could be a great way to advance sex robotics in the future lol!!!
