The ghost town of October quickly vanished as we reached a Nutty November. This week, sex doll brands returned from the 2025 Guangzhou Expo, eager to get back to work. As you might have noticed, there unfortunately won’t be an expo post but I managed to squeeze some in here. And despite another slow week (due to the expo), there were still some new releases, including new bodies from Elsa Babe and Firefly Diary. Without further ado, let’s see if NN November can start off with a bang.
Elsa Babe
After 3 weeks without releases, Elsa Babe unexpectedly returned with a new silicone 163cm body. Emphasizing the word “mature,” the latest hourglass figure exudes “busty and curvy.” It’s compatible with their 165cm heads, and the love holes still look cartoony, which is just their anime style, I guess. Unknown weight at the moment.
Love Holes
Sino Doll
Sino Doll’s recent T96 torso (T43B Misu) returned for more underwater shots. This time, she’s described as a “siren” with interesting accessories, but no mermaid tail.
Doll Senior
On their gorgeous 170G body, Doll Senior released a new head called Celestia (I believe their 3rd Western head). Perfectly proportioned for a bunny suit, her sex appeal is off the charts.

Jiusheng
Jiusheng’s rare Yoyo head returned for her 2nd photoset (after 1.5 years) on the silicone 152E body. She looks decent though her mouth is a bit unflattering (common with some of their ROS heads). I like the body though.
Yearndoll
Meanwhile, Yearndoll kept their anime theme rolling. Starting with their recent 155J Body + Head LZ01, this is definitely the best set yet. Also, someone told me this is the same 155J body from BCDOLL, which is good to know.
Next, they released a new Head LZ02, that’s the opposite of LZ01 (above). Meek and sleepy, she’s on the 88J torso (also from BC Doll). Having established the connection, I definitely see the similarities now, which isn’t a bad thing since their style is fairly pleasant.
Mozu Doll
Speaking of anime, Mozu Doll released a new 150cm TPE body (with vinyl head). Full-sized bodies from them are extremely rare (I think they only had 3 in like 7 years), so this was unexpected. She’s cosplayed as a character from the game, Echocalypse, but I don’t think it’s an official collab.
Firefly Diary
Firefly Diary released a new silicone 153cm MAX body – the third in the MAX Series. Proportionally similar to the 165cm, this is their shortest one thus far and supposedly only 26.4 kg (58 lbs) – probably without the head. Shown with Xiao Liseng, the body’s actually well-proportioned given the height – realistically petite, with modest breasts, a round butt, and Real Skin Texture.

Also, their 165cm MAX Mary returned for a “demon” Halloween set, which matches her face really well. I also included nude photos of last week’s tan Mary (same body).
And last, Halloween wraps up with their 165cm MAX Liuli, awaiting her last-minute treat.
Climax Doll
Climax Doll launched their latest ULW (ultra-lightweight) series, starting with a new silicone torso. In contrast to all the thick and heavy torsos lately, this one’s slim and toned at only 17.5 kg (38.5 lbs). It launched with two new heads, Carmen and Raven, but they seem too big for the torso – so the torso looks tiny in comparison.
Jarliet
Full of inspiration, Jarliet returned with 2 new heads (Taylor and Romy) and possibly 2 new bodies (silicone 154C and 152F). With a blonde theme, they look fairly interesting with Romy looking a bit uncanny, but I personally don’t mind it. While Jarliet isn’t very popular, they definitely have a distinct style.
Irontech Doll (Oriental Series)
In Asia, Irontech released 2 new heads in their Oriental Series, A5 Yui and A6 Kurumi. Very Japanese-inspired, with Yui on the 158T body, and Kurumi on the super-skinny 161Mcm body (I avoided showing the really “anorexic” looking shots).
SGD Studio
SGD Studio returned with more photos of their SGD005 and SGD006 (Asuka & Rei), including the anime Rei head (interestingly compatible with the body), as well the plugsuit and nude photos. Still, I’m surprised they waited 2 months (3 weeks past the presale deadline) to finally share these photos – which should have been out on Day 1. Despite a weird reveal strategy, it somehow works out for them.

Bezlya
Despite going all-in on replica dolls, Bezlya either released some new heads or photos (but I don’t know enough about Bezlya to tell). They look pretty as usual, and the last one is GuShiZhu, one of their previous replica dolls.

2025 Guangzhou Adult Expo Highlights
Finally, I’m sorry to disappoint those who eagerly waited for the expo post. Lots of problems this time around, and I couldn’t access my main source for expo photos. Sadly, the biggest expo of the year will only get a short summary here instead. I’ll go through them quickly, but keep in mind that 90% of it is missing..
JY Doll
After consecutive 1-year absences (disappeared for a year, returned for an expo, then disappeared for another year), JY Doll mysteriously returned to showcase various dolls. Despite releasing almost nothing in 2 years, their dolls still look decent.

Bezlya
As previously announced, Bezlya graced the public with their replica dolls, with the model, Orangemeow (@chengzimiaoj), headlining. Personally, I don’t think her replica doll really resembles her (I think Ai Uehara’s replica is still the best). There was also Durex Scarlett’s replica, and a teaser of their next replica/collab with HongKongDoll.
Some Other Brands
Due to time restraints, I’ll quickly show some other brands at the expo. Again, this only covers like less than 10% of the dolls there. Special thanks to RealDollOnline for some photos to keep the dream alive (I recommend checking out their X account for all the photos). In my opinion, the highlight was Rainstorm Doll’s expo debut, which is XT Doll’s “AIO” line (though they never advertised them in the West before), and Top-Cydoll dazzled like always. There are also videos after the photos.

Conclusion
That wraps up the 2025 Guangzhou Expo week of doll news. Obviously, I’m saddened that I couldn’t cover the expo after hyping it up. Unfortunately, it was out of my control this year, which is both a blessing and curse.
Otherwise, it was another slow week since almost every brand was at the expo. Many brands prioritized the expo over Halloween photos as well, so there wasn’t many spooks this year. Firefly Diary’s latest 153cm MAX body was probably the highlight as their lightest option thus far. Meanwhile at the expo, Rainstorm Doll’s realism and AIO dolls greatly stood out, while most robotics, oppositely, didn’t really stand out. From that I could tell, there wasn’t much innovations or new dolls at the expo, but again, I barely covered any of it. Well, if I find any interesting expo photos or videos, I might share them, otherwise, October’s over without much of a bang. Now begins the holiday season and a final push for brands before the new year. Let’s see what comes out!
Thoughts on another quiet week of doll news (impeded again by the expo)? Comment below!
That XTDoll AIO looks INSANE! Wtf is it?! It looks so soft and…light?!?! Is it one of the dolls they revealed a few months ago? Is Rainstorm really a sub-brand of XT or is it just another name for them? If it’s different, what’s the difference? The sculpt on the full-body doll in that video you shared looks incredible, but the sculpts of XT’s latest offerings seem kinda dumpy, at least in their turnarounds. What gives?!
So hyped to see the new Firefly Diary body. Big rear end and light enough to keep up with Gynoid. Slap a Qiandao with freckles on there and that’s a buy.
Is that a new Tayu body/head at the expo? She looks more realistic than their normal offerings.
Bezlya dolls have such sexy proportions but they seem so behind on tech. It feels like we’re entering a new era of next-gen weight reduction and brands that can’t keep up will be left in the dust. It’s for that same reason that even though the DollSenior 170 is such a bombshell, I see her weight and just want to vomit.
Another long time reader here, though I only recently started posting. I really appreciate all you do to keep us up-to-date with all the goings-on in the doll world week after week.
I’d like to echo excitement for the recently renewed interest in AIO from manufacturers. IMO the ugly-ass seam between the neck and head is one of the least appealing parts of a doll. From a cost-usability perspective, I always thought that it seems like seamless dolls with softer, better replaceable inserts is the way to go.
And of course the best part of AIO for readers is the unparalleled range and flexibility it gives photographers. No need to hide the gap.
IDK, maybe there’s some crazy ideal world where they can figure out how to do swappable heads that appear completely seamless, but I doubt it. But then again XT also apparently solved the joint stiffness problem, so who knows.
I was also confused when I first heard of Rainstorm Doll a while back. From what I can tell, it’s XT’s new sub-brand specifically for their AIO dolls. I don’t think they launched in the West yet, but I did show some of their dolls before. They have a website now with only AIO dolls.
For Tayu, I think that’s the 165cm body which they haven’t promoted much. I don’t recognize the head, but it might not be new (since they didn’t mention it).
I’m also really into the AIO dolls. Every now and then, it seems to trend but then fizzles out again. I’m guessing it’s just too problematic, but XT/Rainstorm Doll seems heavily invested now, which is a good sign. One of Tayu’s original selling points was “almost invisible neck seam,” which is well-designed though you can still see it. I think many brands could improve it, but they probably don’t want to redo all their heads and bodies. Like how Game Lady still has one of the worst neck seams after 3+ years..
The Doll Senior 170cm looks yummy, definitely the best doll presented on this post in my opinion.
Hi Steven,
Are there no reviews of Doll Senior still here in the West? Having trouble finding information about them but they look so good. Eagerly waiting for some Black Friday sales for all brands in general in the upcoming weeks.
Unfortunately, it’s hard to find reviews for any brands that aren’t on Dollforum. Other than one TDF member saying “they’re great” (but wasn’t allowed to discuss them), I don’t see any reviews on other social media platforms. There are a lot of customer photos on the Chinese forum (ymdoll), but they’re more showing off the doll than actual reviews. Also, ymdoll has been wonky lately and hasn’t been working for me. Ultimately, they’re still relatively unknown but the customer photos seem to look good.
Doll senior was hot. Climax Raven was sexy. Jarliet Shuyi was cute.
The trifecta. Glad to see there were dolls you liked. 🙂
Damn I like the XT’s head on the first photo. Doll Castle’s new doll is not as disgusting, but somehow it is, even more disgusting than others.
Thanks for the news. On the other hand have you seen Shein being suspended in France for child like sex doll xD.
Someone else just mentioned it but I never heard of it until now. I thought they just sold clothing. Also a good reminder to be more careful about what dolls I show.
These kind of “one bad apple” news might shift public opinion about the whole industry.
Hey Steven, thanks for the meaty post. Been reading your weeklies for 2 years.
Wanted to say having a few dolls myself i can’t believe how much the industry has moved forward in just 2 years really.
I recently bought a Tayu Nova with the Qingzhi head and i’ll be on the lookout for what they do next with that material, it’s fantastic.
Judging by the Tayu group picture the fuller bodied doll looks like it has adjustable eyes?
AIO development is also something i’m excited about, YUE is on my watchlist.
Also as a side note… freakin Doll’s castle at it again 🤣
The bros are just crooked in their heads, if they were just savy businessmen they could try some NORMAL fantasy.
Thank you for the continued support. 🙂
Yep, the industry moves super quickly, and Tayu definitely made the right move with their Nova series. I think the logical next step is more TPE bodies from them. As for the expo photo, I’m guessing it isn’t “openable and closeable eyes” since it wasn’t mentioned anywhere. I think passersby just messed up her eye lol.
I’m also watching Yue Doll who seems to be the only brand still focused on AIO dolls. Still waiting for the AIO comeback. 😄 And Dolls Castle do what they always do, but weirder than they need to..
Sino and Jiu are my top picks together with MMX as they are so good at what they do. Funny to see that interactive butt haha. cool!
Scary to see that child doll on the rainstorm video (the second video at the top of the frame) Youtube just deleted my video about shein and the child dolls… Good lord. I hate pedos… it’s sad really… but in other countries people dont seem to make any fuss about it…
Yeah, I had a feeling about that but it was the only video that showed the full-sized doll. I’ll find a way to blur it.
I am not trying to give you extra work lol but you already know what I mean…
No, I really appreciate it. There are certain dolls that I won’t show, but sometimes when I’m not sure, I need a nudge in the right direction. Good looking out. 🙂
You know I am your ride or unalive haha
I dont know. Watching Hentai can be superhot but having an anime sexdoll? Thats too much (for me). Weebs will be happy i guess lol
There is one niche in the market that is not filled yet and thats “cyberpunk dolls”. Only people who played the game will understand. I am not talking about robotic functions, just regular silicone/tpe dolls with cyberpunk bodymodifications. Nothing too expensive, maybe a cyberarm made of hard plastic but it looks like chrome. The possibilities are almost endless. I would found a cyberpunk doll company If i was rich.
I ordered this exact Doll Senior btw. wish me luck. 🙂
I think the anime dolls are more popular in Asia, but yeah, something for everyone. The cyberpunk idea is interesting. I’m guessing it’s too niche for the average brand though (plus R&D costs). EXDOLL did something similar before (I don’t think it sold well, and was discontinued https://www.exdollofficial.com/product/ruby-spring). They also had another one that I can’t find anymore, but it might have just been an art piece. Otherwise, interesting idea but I’m not confident that brands will pursue it (except with cosplay and makeup).
Also, best of luck with your Doll Senior! I’ve been really curious about them lately. Some of their photos seem too good to be true, but I guess we’ll see. 🙂
BCDOLL really nailed how to make an anime doll right from the start, their other new head is also great. Didn’t know they were partnering with Yearndoll but indeed the bodies were very similar.
Yeah, they have a really classic figurine look that other brands don’t have. A reader last week confirmed they’re the same body, though the brands’ “partnership” is unclear. Looking forward to seeing more dolls from them though.
Alot going on here. Nice work on the wrap up! The 163cm is the Elsababe ive been waiting years for… something with good hips and ass, and not manly shoulders…. But only if it’s available in “small” (for elsa thats like a D or E cup, lol). Will have to confirm that. Presently the breasts are far too big proportionally.
The rainstorm look really good, if im seeing the right photos!
The Bezlya “Angelica” looks just like J.K. Rowling, LMAO (a GOOD thing, IMO).
Not sure whats up with Jarliet and their heads. The first one kind of looks like a dude, and the second one something that jumps out of the mirror in a horror movie… The jarliet 152 silicone is sexy though….
Anyways, I think w christmas coming, the doll market has never been better. Keep up the good work. Your writeups make the process much easier
No problem. Yeah, best to ask Elsa Babe. They didn’t mention the breast size and no one asked so far.
Rainstorm does look surprisingly good (especially for an expo), so you’re probably looking at the right photos. 😄
Meanwhile, Jarliet has a really distinct style, where their faces look realistic but can also be slightly unsettling. Their bodies usually look good though, at least in photos.
And yes, it’s been the year of innovations so far. Let’s see if brands can finish the year strong. 🙂
