March madness is under way, but I’m not talking about basketball. This week, there was so much news, I had to cut down and out a good chunk of it. It seems CNY really re-invigorated brands as they’re working overtime to push things out. Granted, 90% of it was new photosets, but TOP-CYDOLL, Starpery, and Erovenus all had something new and interesting. Without further ado, let’s climb the mountain of photos before it overflows.
WM Doll & Angel Kiss
Since WM Doll’s photosets have gotten a bit repetitive lately, I’ll quickly breeze through them, along with a new set from Angel Kiss. The photography is pretty good though.
Jinsan Dolls
Their Asian line also shared new photos of the silicone 157cm body + Head Y015. Maybe I just like the bright colors, but their anime dolls are growing on me.
SE Doll
SE Doll dressed up their TPE 163cm Hazel as a French maid. With a pretty and sophisticated look, she’s bringing new life to their TPE dolls.
Elsa Babe
Meanwhile, Elsa Babe released another new head, Takigawa Senhime, but this time, it’s not anime. With an Egyptian theme, the head’s more serious than usual, but in a good way.
Irontech Doll
Irontech Doll teased a new makeup option coming soon (possibly a new makeup series). Previously, their Natural Optimized Series added soft freckles and blush to their Western heads. I’m guessing this new realistic makeup is for their Asian heads; it has that Asian “puffy under-eyelid” style.

Pip + Iro
After much silence, Pip- and Iro- returned with some new updates, with “2.0 dolls” coming soon. Still remaking their dolls, they released a new S-TPE Big Breast 130 Phoebe, and 150 Ariel photos. Under Iro, they have a new S-TPE 152cm (Medium Breasts) and 150cm (Big Breasts) body, with 2 new heads: Arisa and Mion.
TOP-CYDOLL
Once more, TOP-CYDOLL returned with 2 new heads: Lindsay and Naomi. Starting with Lindsay as a pretty blonde with blushy makeup and a fairly intense face.
Next, they released their previously-teased Naomi, with the new Ebony skin tone. An interesting chocolate color, though this head looks more Indian than black to me.
Last, they showcased their “moaning function.” About on-par with other brands (which isn’t a good thing), it’s honestly more comical than serious. Like usual, it has a collection of pre-recorded lines (in response to specific questions), but a Western-looking doll with a Chinese accent has to be immersion-breaking.
FANREAL
FANREAL returned with new photos of their 172cm Kelly and 173cm Ellie. Personally, I’ve never liked Kelly’s ROS mouth so she looks a bit derpy here. Meanwhile, their black Ellie had 2 nice sets.
Jiusheng
Jiusheng shared new photos of their 158D Sora (not Fuyuki as I originally thought). But like Fuyuki, they gave her a stylish and sleek popstar look.
Starpery
Making a comeback lately, Starpery released a new 160cm K-cup body and an elf head called Aurora. With big breasts and massive thighs, Starpery shaved the belly fat for an exaggerated hourglass figure this time. Weighing only 32.5 kg (72 lbs) with their Weight Reduction 4.0, that seems pretty manageable for a thick fantasy body like this.
Additionally, Starpery released 7 new photosets – which would take up too much space – so here’s a quick rundown. You can find the full sets on vendor websites.
Erovenus (Formerly LoveNestle)
Recently, the torso brand, LoveNestle, rebranded to Erovenus, and there’s an interesting story behind it (if anyone’s interested). Short version: The famous food conglomerate, Nestlé, contacted them and demanded that they change their name. Seeking advice, LoveNestle consulted with a US law firm (but ironically, one of the law firm’s board members was from Nestlé so they couldn’t help). Then looking into trademarking “LoveNestle,” they discovered that one of their competitors (another sex torso company) had already trademarked it. During this time, Nestlé also took down their website via their host, GoDaddy. In the end, LoveNestle merged with or changed their name to Erovenus, which was one of their sub-brands. Personally, I thought the story was fairly interesting, which was explained in the video below.
Now that the name-change is out of the way, Erovenus released their latest Max Series, their first torso dolls with heads. Aesthetically, they look a lot like Irontech Doll’s Natural Optimized Series – both the sculpts and the blushy, freckled makeup. And photography-wise, they remind me of Zelex’s SLE torsos. Fully silicone with 4 Western heads and a thick body (head+torso=109cm), they’re somewhat heavy at 33.4 kg (74 lbs).
XT Doll
If you remember the closed-eyed AIO doll from a while back, XT Doll shared more photos of it. At 169cm tall (36.5 kg / 80 lbs), it’s their first 1:1 real-person replica, currently available in Asia. The Chinese doll community were quite vocal with 2 resounding opinions: “she looks very realistic” and “she’s so ugly.” I don’t remember the face looking like this before, but I kind of agree, though the glasses helps.
Lusandy
Lusandy brought back their 165cm Heidi, this time with Tan skin. While it’s a great photoshoot, I’m on the fence about her face. It’s definitely distinct though.
Doll Senior
Doll Senior shared new photos of their Bonnie and Alice heads, the ones revealed on Christmas. As usual, the photos seem touched-up, but the videos look similar and these heads are pretty interesting.

Firefly Diary
Also returning is Firefly Diary’s Xiao Liseng head. This head isn’t shown often but she’s very cute.
SHEDOLL
SHEDOLL teased an upcoming TPE “167cm D-cup” body, which they call a “fitness” body. It looks well-proportioned with toned abs, but since TPE is heavy, it’s surprisingly heavy at 42.5 kg (94 lbs) – without the head. Looks nice with the Su Yehuan head though.
Yearndoll
Yearndoll released a new head called Y237. While it looks pretty similar to their other heads, it’s still attractive with ROS mouth and Real Skin Texture (158cm body).
EXDOLL
EXDOLL shared some random photos of their 168R Jia Nian in a police outfit with bunny ears. No nude photos, but these remind me of one of those cosplay expos.
MMX Doll
When MMX Doll’s 165cm MengQi first came out, she looked a bit like Ada Wong. Well, they decided to embrace this with a full Ada Wong cosplay. But, now that she’s dressed up, I don’t think she really looks like her after all – maybe a doe-eyed version of her.
YAIMEE
A while back, I mentioned how random cheap brands have really good photography nowadays. Well, the cheapo brand, YAIMEE, cooked this week (literally). While I don’t recommend this brand, I can appreciate some nice, hopefully non-AI photos.
➤ Video + Photo
BF
Last but not least, BF released an interesting new head and body: the 138L + BH123. They’ve actually released a lot lately, which I haven’t shown, but this one stood out to me. Very anime/hentai style.
On the topic of BF, someone told me that H-Doll (a new brand that I showed last week) is from BF (because they allegedly copied Iro), which explains why H-Doll promotes BF on Twitter. I’d rather not get involved in this drama again though. Just giving some context since I showed H-Doll last week.
Conclusion
That wraps up an unexpectedly long week of sex doll news. Although it was primarily new photosets, TOP-CYDOLL, Starpery, and several other brands still delivered something new and exciting. Anime dolls resigned supreme once more, while certain brands continued tapping into new niches. Honestly, there were so many photosets, I had to cut some out, but it was mainly “more variety” as usual. The lack of weight-reduction lately is starting to stand out, mainly all the new 80-100+ lbs TPE dolls. I guess TPE weight-reduction is yet to be resolved, which is a shame since Shedoll’s latest 167cm body looks quite nice. Anyway, let’s see if brands can keep up this pace next week.
Thoughts on March’s 2nd week of sex doll news? Comment below!
good to see innovation happening, new brands emerging and trying new things. LHP still is a big problem for many of the models above. But Lusandry 165 is a beautiful sculpt (would replace with a head that does NOT resemble a serial killing zombie lady).
Yamiie is solid for the price IMO if you get one on discount. For $600 shipped, the 163cm tpe (one w halfway decent LHP) was about on part w TPE costing twice as much. However the 164cm (shown above) has terrible LHP. Surprisingly the Yamiie had the least TPE smell ive had, maybe w slight exception of piper, and leaked no discernable oil. Cheap isnt always bad.
Thanks for letting me know. I hesitate to show cheaper brands sometimes, but certain ones like YAMIEE stand out – although their photos seem too good to be true. Interesting to hear that they’re decent at least, though I need more reviews before making a judgment. 🤔
What’s a good, reputable place that sells Butterfly dolls? I think I might’ve missed any places you mentioned from when you started covering them.
I looked for them on your list of trusted stores as well and I don’t think any of them carry BF so far (or maybe I’m just bad at using Control + F lol)
Actually none of my recommended vendors carry BF. If you remember the drama with Doll Forever, vendors were forced to choose between Doll Forever or BF. Most sided with Doll Forever, so they can’t carry BF. The only reputable vendor I know that chose BF is realdollonline, which is kind of smart imo because they’re the only ones that carry them now. Although they’re not on my list, realdollonline should be trustworthy.
Eurovenus has a Kelly head on her torso, cool.
A bit off topic question, but what is the compatibility of WM-Doll heads and Funwest bodies? Apart from skin color, specifically in appearance, so that it looks normal in terms of proportions? Funwest heads are all kind of the same, the choice of beauties is extremely small, but WM-Doll is a different story.
Where can I study the issue of compatible heads and bodies from different manufacturers?
Besides the skin tone differing, the head and neck proportions may not necessarily fit well or look good (which is why I usually don’t recommend mixing-and-matching brands). Unless they’re made in the same factory, you really can’t know for sure. WM is made by Jinsan, Funwest (TPE) is made by Aibei. In my opinion, the only way to know is to find someone who has mixed them before. Maybe a vendor who has both in-stock, or a customer with both brands. You basically have to search around on dollforum or social media, which can be hard. I can’t find anyone who specifically put a WM Doll head on a Funwest body.

Maybe try asking the vendor, Coeros, who specializes in doll heads. He might know more.
What stops me from considering Starpery for purchase is the beautiful head + ROS, if they have ROS then it’s a nightmare on Elm Street, you can shit yourself when she opens her mouth )))
That Real-person replica XT Doll is actually really amazing (Both technologically & visually) , I have no clue why they think it looks ugly? I think it looks very beautiful! Got a link to this particular doll??
I guess the face doesn’t really match Asian beauty standards, but the reactions are mixed. Some people like it and some don’t.
It just released in Asia last week, so it’s not out in the West yet. Maybe an XT Doll vendor can custom order it if you contact them. But unfortunately, no listings to look at right now (unless you can login to taobao).
Wait wth this is insane!!! First of all WOW those ebony ladies look amazing!
Secondly – Starpery has another amazing lady and I just finished unboxing Rozanne with WR4.0. Crazy timing once more…!
And then Lovenestle… dang it… they wanted to do a collaboration with me. I wondered why I didn’t hear anything from them anymore.
Poop!!!
Very insane week indeed. Awesome, let me know how your Starpery turns out. WR 4.0 is supposed to be both lightweight and soft so I wonder if it’s really as good as it sounds. As for Lovenestle, they seem to collaborate with everyone. 😆 Since they didn’t have heads before (just torsos), I didn’t pay much attention to them, but their new Max Series seems interesting.
See this is what I love about you. You always know how to give a good shout! I looked into the Max Series as I did not speak with them for almost 2 weeks now. (They seem to be very busy and very slow in response). But that specific series look really good.
Regarding Starpery (and CloudClimax collab) – Rozanne is amazing looking and feeling. The foam core is amazing as well and she feels very durable. She weighs around 34kg but I swear to you, when you pick her up, she feels like 25kg. It’s pretty insane. I’ll let you know when the unboxing is live. Youtube stopped my monetisation but that won’t stop me from doing what I love. Thanks again!
Massive week of news, thank you!! One question, what does Pip + Iro mean exactly?
They’re short for 2 brand names that I’ll avoid saying for now.. For some time, I’ve had a hunch that Google suppresses or shadowbans content involving specific brands. So I’d put in all the work writing an entire post – but because I mentioned a certain brand – the entire post won’t appear on Google. I guess I’ll see if this helps or not..
Hopefully, it doesn’t get confusing when I abbreviate brand names.
