After a quiet start to the month, Slow September thankfully stepped on the gas, accelerating into Speedy September. This week, there was a little of everything as sex doll brands pushed out new heads, bodies, and various features. Irontech Doll launched their Oriental Series globally, SGD Studio’s back with another presale, and Zucki finally revealed their Ai Uehara photosets. So, strap in. It’s going to be a bumpy ride through another firey week of doll news.

SE Doll

SE Doll released their latest Master Makeup option. A noticeable improvement over their previous body makeup, the new paid option offers “up to 18 spray layers” (compared to the previous 5-8) for the most detailed shading and realism. I’d guess this is more suited for photographers and collectors though because it sounds expensive. While there’s no word on the price or how well it holds up, they did say “frequent rubbing can still affect the finish.” (Also, the lighting seems slightly different, so the comparison isn’t 100% accurate)

Irontech Doll

Irontech officially launched their Oriental Series in the West. Previously, I covered their launch in Asia (which included Heads A1 and A5), but the global launch begins with Lina (A3) and Misaki (A4) instead. A pretty smart decision to offer the series worldwide – because why not? It launches with an exclusive “Silk Glow” skin tone and vagina textures only for the Oriental Series. There’s also an improved hand joint and other features that I couldn’t tell if they’re new or just re-named.

158T A4 Misaki (ROS Max)

Real Lady

Meanwhile, Real Lady released a new skin tone called Honey Bronze. Featured on their beach babe, Hailey (159cm R12), they expanded on their drive for “sun-kissed” complexions. Replacing their previous “Tanned” skin tone, Honey Bronze gives off a vibrant glow with supposedly improved texture and glossiness. However, some people found the copper tone too strong, but it’s just an option to choose from.

Fanreal

Featuring Maria (ROS) once more, Fanreal upgraded their 170G body with Real Skin Texture. It’s now their 2nd body with the skin upgrade, and the body proportions are the same as before.

Butt Texture

Speaking of Maria, Fanreal shared a bunch more photosets but I’ll just show these two Maria torsos since they compare the old vs new Maria ROS head.

Jiusheng

Next, Jiusheng returned with a new head called Sienna. With a charming smile, I rather like the face – a mixture of youth and maturity, and she fits nicely on the 152E body.

MMX Doll

Teased last week, MMX Doll released their Meng Ai head cosplayed as Ada Wong. Technically just a cosplay, she doesn’t exactly resemble Ada, but still looks incredibly realistic. Though, I find that some of the poses still manage to capture her essence.

They also shared new photos of their 172cm Mengyao in fancy, fantasy clothing. I quite like the realism of this skinny body which has grown on me.

Lusandy

Lusandy returned with new photos of their 161cm Naomi. This time around, she has more of a “girl next door” vibe. However, her wig reminds me of that classic WM Doll photoset of the “166C + Head #273” (in front of the punching bag), which I can’t unsee.

Doll Senior

Doll Senior released a new head called Linsha (ROS) on their 170cm body with Real Skin Texture. While the pacifier was an odd (and random) addition, the body’s pretty hot.

Not Ye

Meanwhile, Doll Senior’s torso brand, Not Ye, released a new torso and S47 head (Naya). Like a new bride arriving at your doorstep, she has a petite body and cuteish face.

XT Doll

XT Doll teased an upcoming Head XT-26 and 153cm body coming on September 22. I’m guessing it’s the one teased in “XT Doll: A Teaser of Upcoming Innovations & New Dolls,” now coming to the West.

Aibei

Continuing their Silicone Luxe Series, Aibei released a new head called Brooke (ROS). She looks quite nice, and I like the workout theme.

They also shared new photos of their 158F Rika (ROS) and 167E Roxy, which I’ll quickly show.

Ridmii

Ridmii is the latest to join the “AI head” race with their first AI robot head called Tenar. From the video, it reminds me of AI-Tech’s (from a long time ago) based on the settings behind the head. While not the most impressive AI head so far (the mouth noticeably isn’t in-sync with the words), there still aren’t many options out there.

MD Doll

MD Doll kept the new heads coming, this time with Bonnie on the 166F body. In an exaggeratedly Japanese outfit, she looks decent, though I think she’d look even better in something more formal or classy.

LilyDoll

Featuring the same outfit, Lily Doll returned with new photos of their 168F Freya as a gamer. Interesting to see this brand still alive and kicking in these lifestyle photos.

Dolls Castle

With October coming up, be on the lookout for Dolls Castle, the epitome of Halloween. They just released their first-ever anime head (S33), which looks decent all things considered. This will be my face when I see the next “Chinpokomon” they have in store. (don’t sue me nin10do)

Moon-Doll

Since I’m showing weird things, Moon-doll (the vendor) released a vendor-exclusive male doll (185cm Raymond) from the Yue Doll factory. Mainly, I’m showing this because he looks like a Devil May Cry character.

Game Lady

Speaking of games, Game Lady shared another A2 cosplay, this time with the ROS version of the head. Very similar to last time but I like the action posing.

SGD Studio

Now we move from gaming to anime as SGD Studio returned with not one, but two upcoming figures. Inspired by Asuka Langley Soryu and Rei Ayanami from Evangelion, SGD005 and SGD006 are now in presale. And as usual – to much people’s dismay – they’re showing the bare minimum (only 4 photos) – yet expecting people to order.

I think they look pretty good given SGD’s usual aesthetics – this time transforming anime characters into a realistic style. Additionally, this comes with a new “head-neck linkage rotation structure,” which sounds like the neck turns with the head (like MD Doll’s “Neck Twisting Function”).

Yearndoll

Before we get to Ai Uehara, Cosdoll’s Yearndoll released a new silicone 165D body (with Real Skin Texture) and 2 new heads. Starting with Yukina (Y401), they’ve been striding toward realism over fantasy lately.

Next is Meimi (Y402), the other new head on the same body. Another pretty Asian face with bigger eyes, and I’m liking the butt shape in the last photo.

Ai Uehara

Last but not least, the Ai Uehara saga continues as the promo photos finally came out. Zucki shared 2 photosets of the replica produced by Cosdoll. However, one of them clearly looks AI-enhanced (which I didn’t want to show but I’m obligated to), while the other one isn’t. I’ll start with the more deceptive one where the neck seam was edited out and something looks off about the face.

At least, they redeemed themselves with the next photoset which doesn’t look AI-altered (though everything has some level of photo editing). In a black kimono, she looks quite pretty and elegant here as we see nude photos of the body for the first time.

Conclusion

That wraps up another week of sex doll news. Slow September picked up speed as brands released new heads and bodies left and right. Not much innovation this week though, as most brands still focused on Real Skin Texture and head variety. Zucki continued pushing their AI Uehara replica which they desperately need to succeed (to keep their JAV replica dreams alive). Otherwise, there were many random goodies this week, including new additions to Yearndoll and SGD Studio.

Speaking of which, SGD’s quick return was actually kind of unexpected. Previously, their Ada figure seemed to struggle as they extended the presale multiple times. And now, they’re releasing 2 at once with the same strategy of barely showing anything.. expecting people to order based on 4 photos. However, the figure audience is so big that they’ll probably sell out again. I’m sure their figures are great, just not a fan of the slow photo teasers (with the presale ticking). Anyway, a lot to take in this week, though nothing too exciting. Until next time!
