While all eyes were on lifelike robots at the World Robot Conference, in the doll world, we got Average August and delays. Though this post was delayed, the real delay was September’s 2026 SZI Expo postponement until further notice. More time for brands to focus on making dolls. This week, the summer-long anime and BBW trend raged on, while it rained endless heads from above. This post was a nightmare to put together (way too many releases) as Average August hit its climax and went Above Average. I’m already one day late so let’s try to catch up asap.
SEDOLL
Starting off with SEDOLL, their Maya returned in a batty or catty set where the T110J torso looks particularly juicy this week.
Irontech Doll
Irontech released a new 164LN body. No clue what the LN stands for, but this BBW body is the polar opposite of last week’s skinny body. Thick and juicy in all the right places, she weighs a whopping 60 kg (132 lbs) without the head, which is kind of crazy.
Also, their popular Eileen got an Oriental Series makeover, strutting the T158 body for the first time. Unfortunately, there aren’t any nude photos, which is a shame since this photographer seems really good.
Real Lady
Meanwhile, Real Lady’s recent Selina (R13) returned with mixed reactions. Previously, she had elegance and maturity, but they tried to make her younger, which resulted in this. I think the previous hairstyle which covered her forehead looked much better.
They also released their EVO Max 2.0 Skeleton. As skeletons continue to improve, the latest 2.0 includes 1.0’s double-jointed elbows, and upgraded the wrist, ankle, forefoot, and toes for smoother movement and more realistic posing.
Sino Doll
Out of nowhere, Sino Doll returned – so you know what that means: another anniversary. Celebrating their 6th anniversary, they released a new T149 body and 3 new heads. The first one, Miwei, is probably my favorite of the three.
Next, Mixing looks quite realistic though very similar to their previous designs.
And last is Mijing, with a chubbier face than usual and the most natural photography of the bunch.
MMX Doll
MMX Doll released a new AIO doll: the 160A (C-cup) MengSu. Featuring a new head and body, this was an unexpected choice for AIO. While I think there were much better choices for an AIO, the closed eyes was definitely a bold choice. She weighs 35 kg (77 lbs).
Zelex
Before fading into obscurity, Zelex resurrected their K-Series with a new ZK170F body. Of all their K-Series dolls, this is the bustiest with juicy melons on both her chest and behind. The butt is almost comical, but hey, butt lovers won’t complain.
Doll Senior
As previously teased, Doll Senior officially released their Scorpio head (on the 158K body). Here are more photos that I haven’t shown.
Video
XT Doll
XT Doll released a new head called Miya (ROS). Like every 153I set so far, they combined a cute face with the busty body once more.
Lusandy
Lusandy’s Belle returned on the 167B body with a vintage theme. Reminds me of Goldilocks for some reason, but I like the wig.
Firefly Doll
Firefly Doll gave Mary her first fantasy cosplay as a succubus. Works pretty well with her naturally seductive face with down-turned eyebrows.
Funwest Doll
After what felt like a while, Funwest Doll released a new head called Evelyn. New heads can always be hit-or-miss, but they definitely hit with this beautiful, celebrity-like face.
IDO Doll
IDO Doll released a new head called Ella (named by a TDF contest winner). A very lovely Western face that’s possibly their best one so far.
Jiusheng
Jiusheng released a new head called Feiyue, who’s meant to look more mature. However, I think 162G body stole the show in every shot, making it hard to even notice the head.
6YE/HR Doll
After some silence, 6YE brought back their monster BBW body for another shoot. This time, they had a classier, summer look highlighting the gigantic butt and muscular thighs. Reminder: this doll weighs 55 kg (121 lbs).
MD Doll
Meanwhile, MD Doll released a new head called Ella. Maybe since they haven’t released an Asian head in a while, she seems more interesting than usual. Almost anime-like, she has really cute style.
Climax Doll
After many goblin iterations, Climax Doll may have finally struck gold with their latest Bina. They ditched the mini figures and put her on the ULW 156cm body for arguably their best fantasy shoot this year (and best version of their goblins in my opinion). Just in time for The Witcher 3: Remastered.
Uneedoll
Keeping the cosplays going, Uneedoll released a new head called Longyue in a lovely angel cosplay. Probably their best photos so far as they moved away from the generic “Lacedoll” style.
Lacedoll
Speaking of Lacedoll, I usually skip them, but they had some sets there were too cute not to show.
Kiradols
Kiradols returned with a new anime head called Snowball. A fitting name for a white cat theme, she has heterochromic eyes and their typical stylized anime look, which I always thought looked a bit derpy.
They also cosplayed their 155D Himari as Leopard from “Gushing over Magical Girls.” Same eye shape and all, I wonder if this head was always based on her.
Yearndoll
I forgot to check Yearndoll in a while and noticed two new things. First, they have a lighter 163cm Yusumi, promoted as “Super Lightweight” at 19.5 kg (43 lbs) somehow. They also released a new anime head, LZ04, which looks a lot like BC Doll’s Kokona (the two brands are related).
Dolls Castle
In-between the muscular futanaris and straight-up animals, Dolls Castle sometimes makes dolls based on existing characters. Well, no one saw this one coming: Marge from The Simpsons. Damn it, Dolls Castle. No one asked for this, but I guess we can play Homer now. They also released a centaur and dragon as their whacky antics can’t be stopped. Don’t let the sizes fool you though as they’re deceptively heavy: Marge – 40 kg (88 lbs), Dragon – 40.5 kg (89 lbs), Centaur – 45 kg (99 lbs).
Ridmii
As a palette cleanser, Ridmii returned with a new head that I think looks great. Their heads were getting better and better (before they disappeared for months) and they didn’t disappoint. It’s probably heavily edited, but they typically don’t use AI (at least not recently).
Sigafun
Next, Sigafun released something new. Either the head is new or it’s just new makeup, but either way, she looks good.
Bezlya
I was hoping Bezlya would release this set by now, but I guess we’ll have to wait. Seems like a new head called Lihuihai that resembles Stellar Blade’s Evie. (image is very small) Edit: oops, it’s “LiHuiNai.”
CY Doll
I stumbled upon some photos of supposedly CY Doll’s latest 165cm body. Maybe it’ll come to Top-Cydoll one day.
Kagami
Last but not least, I wasted a lot of time looking into this so I might as well share it. It’s an 81cm figure from an unknown brand called Kagami but looks really detailed. They supposed had a 50-piece presale that sold out in July and recently started another presale. No one here can order it anyway (outside of China); just decided to throw this in because it kept popping up. Don’t even know if it’s usable, but they mainly promote in doll communities it seems.
Conclusion
That wraps up possibly the climax of Average August, where the quantity was so high, there was bound to be some quality. There were tons of new heads alongside the usual anime and BBW trend. But Marge from The Simpsons? Dang it, Dolls Castle, I thought they were headed in the right direction with Bonnie recently. Unfortunately, Moonvale wasn’t around to balance things out. Climax Doll’s latest goblin is worthy of a “goblin deez nuts” joke, and I was a fan of Funwest and Ido Doll’s new heads. Well, I have no more appointments so it’s full speed ahead for doll news. Until next time!
Thoughts on the climax of Average August? Comment below!
Thanks for adding/discussing Uneedoll (in the previous blog post already I saw). Are they related to SheDoll as a sub-brand? I immediately thought it’s a SheDoll-design and the their website includes this brand (see https://www.shedollofficial.com/unee). They seem to be more expensive than SheDoll if you compare the full silicone prices (1599 + 599 vs. 2850).
Hopefully the EVO Max. 2.0 Skeleton of Real Lady will be available for regular Irontech bodies. They do that with several other upgrades, but maybe not this one.
That Marge Doll, hahaha. Someone asked for it and more power to whoever it was :D.
Nice catch. If they’re listed on Shedoll’s website, then they’re definitely related. Not sure about the price difference. I’d guess they’re produced by Shedoll, but designed and managed by Uneedoll (who is separate). In that case, Uneedoll would get a cut (thus higher price) or maybe it’s because all their bodies have Real Skin Texture. Just guessing..
I knew I remembered that Kagami doll from somewhere!
I said it reminded me of MRL’s push for next generation “4.0” figure dolls. After talking with some other customers in their Western discord, I’m pretty sure it _is_ the same doll they showed a preview picture of (early in the process) like half a year ago.
Apparently they even shared this same exact photoshoot in the discord and I just missed it. So Kagami is very very likely just another sub brand of MRL. It remains to be seen if they’ll bring this brand to the west or just use their existing brand name.
And if this is indeed a MRL doll, that means it’ll have a usable channel. All their 3.0 minidolls are at least 15cm in length. This new doll looks like it has a fully articulated skeleton, so maybe that means they had to drop the channel length. We’ll see.
Oh my god, that Marge doll is a total abomination, I burst out laughing. DC never fails to entertain. And holy crap the centaur doll lol!
I can’t believe that Yearndoll body is only 43LBs. Last time I checked them out I learned they didn’t really make their own bodies but just contracted them from other manufacturers (like they got a body from BCDolls). If that’s still the case, I wonder where they got this body from? Oh yeah, you did mention they’re related.
The Jiusheng photoshoot stole the show for me. Very good framing of the shots. Honestly, it reminds me a lot of the DollSenior photographer…
Also, I can’t believe all their smaller sized bodies are paired with such child like heads. It’s honestly gross and a bit confusing. They have a very busty plus sized body in the 120cm range and then the face looks like a 10 year old. WTH are they doing? Kinda reminds me of how Sanhui is stuck doing the same childish face.
The new ClimaxDoll is honestly a bit disappointing. Feels kinda like they’re just recycling different offerings. Awhile back they were going to do a collab with a cam girl for a different weight reduced body mold – I wonder if that went through or flopped? I’m hoping to see more on that front.
Also, I kinda wish Climax would go all-in on minidolls. They could capture the entire market if they just modernized some things.
That figure doll from Kagami is definitely usable, but who knows how deep the channel is. It reminds me a lot of the MRL brand’s push to make “next gen” 80cm figure dolls. The problem with figure dolls with hard hair like this is that it will poke the silicone a lot if you actually try to use it…
Yearndoll always had that body, but the weight reduction seems new. Note: it weighs 22.5 kg (49.6 lbs) with the head, which is still really good. There are no videos though, and I kinda doubt they achieved Tayu’s level of softness, but I guess we’ll see.
Pretty sure Jiusheng’s photoset is from that Doll Senior’s photographer, who has been doing shoots for many brands lately, including XT and Real Lady. As for their recent heads, that’s not really surprisingly. Previously, they separated their “younger” dolls under MLW, but after the “crackdown,” they seemed to get rid of MLW, and everything is just under Jiusheng now. From what I can tell (in terms of the new regulations in China), faces and heights don’t matter as long as the body has breasts. They don’t really advertise them in the West though.
I think Climax is still making that replica doll, but they haven’t shared any updates. Guess it takes a long time like with the custom Digimon doll. I really liked their Cammy, but their recent extreme proportioned mini dolls haven’t appealed to me much.
More like Horror Castle if you ask me.
Not the Marge Simpson doll lmao!! That’s crazy work haha
So many great looking ladies again. Wow!
So funny a while back I contacted DC about a simpsons inspired doll as I think there exist models that would look really good when made. How do I explain this before you start cursing at me… lol… There are art pieces / comics / anime type things where the simpsons ladies are older 18+ of course and look really appealing in my opinion. See I think Marge does look really cool but the hair and the eyes maybe need a different design. Either way it’s cool for people that would like to be homer… I understand there are people on this planet that truly think Marge is the end-all-be-all spouse. Homer is just a pos lol… But… then again… what do i know 😛
Today my first firefly lady is coming in and a couple of days ago I had my first Climax lady as well. Really cool to see both these brands being featured here as well.
Yeah. Even though I’m not attracted to The Simpsons style, I do remember seeing Rule 34 stuff of it like 20+ years ago. Like sketchy online ads that I never clicked on, so I can imagine some people being into it. 😆
Have fun with the Firefly doll. They always seemed underrated to me, and Qiandao is still one of my favorite heads. Curious how they compare with other brands.
Stay tuned then. Its a special collab Firefly doll coming up on my channel. Did you by any chance see the Harley Quinn Stella-Dolls doll? Really cool as well. 🥰 Thanks again.
Zelex’s big butt cannot lie
I think Doll Senior’s Scorpio is based off of Red Hood from Nikke
Kiradols’ 155D Himari is Leopard from “Gushing over Magical Girls”
I read a blog post from Dolls Castle, the Marge Simpson was a custom request from someone in Mexico I believe
Spot on with the cosplays again. Thanks. 🙂
I see. Guess someone really likes Marge and Dolls Castle will take on anything. 😅
I feel like it’s important to mention that the new MMX doll has a 6.6 head ratio and 44cm wide shoulders, making it the doll with the most realistic proportions in the entire doll industry at the moment. The company even publicly stated that “This time, we chose to stay true to female proportion” with these measurements, which is finally an admission that the usual 7-8 head ratio and ~35cm shoulders that most dolls have is not realistic.
People usually look at me like I’m crazy when I say that the dolls have too small heads and too narrow bodies, so it’s very nice to be vindicated by this statement.
Oh, I didn’t see that. That makes it even more interesting then. Also, you’re not crazy. Dolls do have smaller heads and proportions than humans. It has always been like that, and one of the reasons why it’s hard to find clothing that fits. 😄
