In the roller coaster of doll news, were things up or down this time around? Interestingly, the news zigzagged from name-brands back to smaller brands this week. Like a laid-back “dark ride,” there were lots to see, but perhaps no particular thrills. Still, Doll Senior released a beautiful new Western head, TAYU teased some upcoming bodies, Tinglise returned with a bang, and a new replica doll appears. Therefore, join me on a relaxed ride with many doll sights in store.

SEDOLL

First, SEDOLL returned with new photos of their recent Evadora elf head (on the T165cm body). They went fancy with the lighting, though maybe a little too fancy to the point of distracting (and hard to see). Interesting to see her in minimal makeup though (without the smoky eyeshadow and blush).

Irontech Doll

Irontech continued pushing their Oriental Series, this time with the 153cm Yuna (T1) and Miku (S14) – both with ROS Max. Maybe it’s the inviting poses, but the unnaturally thicc 153cm body actually stole the show this time.

Real Lady

Meanwhile, Real Lady shared more photos of their 168H Freya (Snow Angel series). Out with the “Snow” and in with the “Angel,” as she gracefully sits on clouds this time. This might be the first time I’ve seen the ROS Max mouth opened in a photoset, so that alone is worth seeing.

Fanreal

Fanreal shared many new photos – some of which, I have to postpone to next week. For now, here’s their 170G Gina and 168F Kelly (both with Real Skin Texture). Although it’s more of the same as usual, their pretty dolls are always worth a look.

Some photos of their 168F Kelly.

Doll Senior

Next, Doll Senior released a new Western head called Thalia. In my opinion, their heads are getting better with every release. She looks like Sable’s older sister as she rocks the 170G body.

They also shared new photos of their 170cm Dream as a brunette (which reminds me of Firefly Diary’s closed-eyed Liuli). Definitely a more natural look for her.

TAYU

Tayu teased an upcoming NOVA Series (TPE) 158C body and silicone 160A body (supposedly coming this month). Several people already saw 罗贯中 (a Chinese doll enthusiast) tease the former. It’ll feature hard hands and feet (an industry first for TPE dolls), as well as accurate LHP and durable love holes (as with the NOVA 148D). The skeleton is also supposedly improved for greater stability and natural posture. According to 罗贯中, the doll is slightly firmer than other brands’ S-TPE, and looks and feels more like silicone (mentioning that it’s more durable and easy to clean, and nipple/genital colors don’t fade).

There are no previews of the silicone 160A body yet.

Firefly Diary

Next, Firefly Diary shared some new photos, starting with their recent 165MAX Lily. For her second photoset, she looks sporty and fashionable. While not my favorite head from them, she’s definitely unique.

Love Holes

And then, they have the 160MAX Sanmu dressed as a maid. Nice posing as usual, though they didn’t show much nude photos this time.

MD Doll

MD Doll released a new Asian head called Judy, which looks noticeably different from their usual designs. Rather than their typical Western style with plump lips, Judy has a more dainty and artistic sculpt.

Tinglise

The biggest and unexpected news this week was Tinglise’s sudden return with 3 new silicone heads and TPE bodies. Starting with a new TPE 148B body and Mia head that came in two photosets, she weighs 27 kg (60 lbs).

Next, they released a new TPE 158D body with Elena head. I like her cuteness and puckered lips, but despite a slim figure, she’s somewhat heavy at 34 kg (75 lbs).

And last, they released a TPE 151cm BBW body with Emily head. I also like this head, which has a soft and warm expression. As for the body, it’s bottom-heavy with wide hips, thick thighs, and a round butt. For some reason, the standing nude photos look weird though (head seems much bigger than the body). Clearly, they had to compromise on the height as she currently weighs 37 kg (81.5 lbs). However, I quite like it since it’s different from the usual slim/generic-looking bodies.

Ridmii

Similarly, Ridmii returned unexpectedly with 3 new heads of their own. Starting with some late Christmas photos, the first head is Kaya, who’s pretty cute.

Factory Photos

Next is Arin, also full silicone on the 164cm body. I like the white/snowy theme, and their heads seem noticeably better lately.

And last, they released a new head called Louisa, on a TPE 166cm body this time. Previously known for more cartoony faces, this is probably their most realistic head thus far. Very realistic and pretty, hopefully a sign of better products and designs to come from them.

SY Doll

Speaking of Ridmii, the factory behind them – SY Doll – released the first robotics of 2026: a new robotic tongue function. We’ve seen sucking mouths and vibrating tongues, but this one’s different. The tongue can move back and forth and spin around (which is kind of funny). As far as doll electronics and robotics goes, it’s expectedly “primitive” but at least it’s something new.

Top Fire Doll

Top Fire Doll released a new head called Hazel on their 170E body. From their luxurious photosets to a working girl, they made an unexpected leap this time around. While she looks bit plain, maybe these just aren’t the best photos of her.

Dolls Castle

After many unsightly dolls, Dolls Castle surprisingly returned with a new silicone 170A body. By their standards, this looks fairly normal but is definitely on the lanky/skinny side. I guess some people might be into that, and the weight’s decent for 170cm at 27 kg (59.5 lbs).

Jarliet

Jarliet kept things going with new photos of their 165cm Ena (ROS). I think they wanted to highlight various electronic features with her, but I don’t have any videos so.. so much for that. She has a device that can be placed into the head and the “electric hips” function.

Strawberry Garden

As CNY approaches, Strawberry Garden was feeling festive, bringing together all their creations thus far.

KD Doll

Two months ago, KD Doll had a photoshoot with a Taiwanese AV star, Meng Ruoyu, which I didn’t show since she isn’t a doll. While it was interesting to see a real model posed in KD Doll’s usual backdrops, I wondered why they took those photos. Well, now I know since they just released a replica doll of her.

Under a new brand called Kopiilab (kind of like Zucki), they released the official 160cm Meng Ruoyu replica doll. Facially, it somewhat resembles her, though the body doesn’t really match (looks slimmer with altered breasts). They recreated her tattoo though, and the overall doll looks decent even if not super accurate. Will 2026 be another year of AV replica dolls? (I believe they have 2 more planned, one female and one male)

Roseidol

Last but not least, Roseidol shared more photos of their silicone Tifa figure (ROSE001), still in pre-sale. Not sure why, but she looks a bit different from before. I think they intensified her makeup (making her eyes look bigger), and straightened her hair, which I think looks better than before. Also, they said the next ROSE002 will be revealed later this week (will be unironically funny if it’s Mai Shiranui, 2B, or Chun Li).

Conclusion

That wraps up another week of sex doll news. Each week seems to alternate between name-brands and smaller brands nowadays. While name-brands like Top-Cydoll and MMX recover from last week, brands like Tinglise and Ridmii came to play. I definitely see improvements in both those brands, though their TPE bodies still feel outdated. Tinglise’s BBW 151cm body definitely stood out though. Meanwhile, Tayu’s teasers were pretty exciting, and Doll Senior’s new head looks like a winner. SY Doll’s latest robotic tongue is kind of meh but still interesting. Since many brands get their robotics/electronics from the same supplier, I’d expect some other brands to adopt that tongue function as well. Otherwise, it was another mixed bag of news with lots to see but not too many thrills. With the busy CNY approaching, I’m not sure if the news will get better or worse from here. I guess we’ll wait and see.
