If you thought Average August was quiet, then you haven’t seen Slow September. Granted, this week was supposed to be the SZI Expo (postponed) so maybe brands flew there anyway for vacation. This week, there were new heads and photosets, but towering above the rest, were tall dolls. I’m talking: 200cm tall from Evas Doll, and even 184cm from Dolls Castle. Without further ado, turn your gaze upward to behold a colossal entry in doll news.
WM Doll
Starting with WM Doll, they continued modernizing their TPE beauties. The latest is the classic “173H body + Head #142,” who looks quite beautiful, but alas, they’re remasters, not remakes – which means the poor LHP sticks out like a sore thumb. It’s a shame that after many years of inactivity, they never went back to improve their old bodies.
SE Doll
SE Doll released a new head called Cleopatra. Much different from their Kemeny in Egyptian clothing, she has a mature and imperious look. She’ll make you work for every inch of her.
Meanwhile, their classic Yuuki showed a cuter side of the T155J body. She looks like a blonde Chun Li.
Elsa Babe
Adding to their infinite anime lineup, Elsa Babe released their latest head: Endo Fuuka. Yet another one that doesn’t stand out to me, but the blue tint in the eyes is somewhat unique.
Irontech Doll
Irontech released their latest Young Series head named Sia. A bit more mature than the other ones, or maybe it’s just the glasses. Either way, their photographer has been on fire with this series. Another elegant set with 100+ beautiful shots that were hard to narrow down.
Additionally, Luna received a girl-next-door makeover. In both activewear and sleepwear, the head known for countless cosplays may have found the perfect fit.
Real Lady
Meanwhile, Real Lady released a new head called Vera (R19). Another Western celebrity head, that to me, looks a bit like Sydney Sweeney. Top-Cydoll’s version seemed to do really well, but how does Real Lady fare? Or am I just imagining the resemblance?
Evas Doll
Evas Doll has always been known for tall and thick dolls, and this week, they cemented their name in history with their latest 200cm body. Perhaps also the heaviest one too at a whooping 78 kg (172 lbs). TDF members are dubbing this the “Lady Dimitrescu,” and well, minus the tiny head and whether the average doll owner wants to handle over 80 kg (176 lbs), Evas Doll is definitely breaking barriers (and backs).

Lusandy
Lusandy Doll’s 161cm Zoe returned for her 2nd set, this time as a cute fox girl. I always found her somewhat unique (looked like Spider Gwen before), and she just fits in cosplay. I forgot how intense her eyes were though.
Game Lady
Like Chun Li last week, Game Lady’s Mercy also got an ROS mouth upgrade (Head #48). The photoshoot is basically the same though, with some new nude photos. Honestly, this was the perfect time for them to use Mercy’s original look (instead of the pink one again) – but as someone said last week – they’ve gotten lazy.

Doll Senior
Doll Senior released a new head called Lynn, cosplayed Nier: Automata’s 2B. While the face looks pretty, it’s overshadowed by the cosplay, wig, and breasts. She’ll need a more natural set next for a better look at her face. It’s also a dual photoset with some torso legs (from Not Ye) that they do every now and then.
XT Doll
Keeping their Fantasy Girlfriend series rolling, XT Doll released a new head called Nami. Slightly on the anime side, her face ranges from calm to annoyed. Interestingly, no nude photos.
Funwest Doll
Before summer ends, Funwest Doll got their girls together for one final outing. Like a Dead or Alive beach episode, it’s a bikini body special with their three cutest heads.
Starpery
Incredibly vague, Starpery teased a new “Felibot Series,” which they said is “[focused] on anime or cartoon.” I can kind of see the idea, though I wouldn’t consider this anime. They also stressed the terms, “DFC/NPS,” which I’ve never seen anyone use, but it basically means “unedited photos.”
Next, after years behind other brands (but better late than never), Starpery revealed their upcoming “Real Skin Texture” feature. There’s a teaser video that shows some of the process, but as a disclaimer, there’s some human nudity.

Aibei
While many brands move from TPE to silicone, Aibei went back to their roots. They released a new TPE 159D body, and converted their recent silicone Yuna head to TPE. Looks decent and offers new TPE options in the age of silicone. The weight isn’t pretty though at 41 kg (90 lbs).
Erovenus
Erovenus quickly returned with a new head called Jody, and for a torso brand, their heads are surprisingly pretty. This one’s no different, and the glasses elevates her for me.
Dolls Castle
From a pretty face to Dolls Castle? Uh oh. While other brands were quiet, Dolls Castle was on the prowl. “More abominations!” they proclaimed, but first, something normal? In a twist, they released a new TPE 183cm body – their tallest one thus far. Tall and skinny and featuring Galatea heads, she’s the opposite of Evas’ thick doll, but since she’s TPE, she still weighs 42.5 kg (94 lbs).
Wait, you didn’t think that was all from Dolls Castle, did you? They also had more cursed furry dolls – far from Moonvale’s aesthetics. There’s a new pig furry with a huge surprise, and a new “Original IP” 160cm body with 3 heads.
Spoilers: See the photos
Ridmii
If you remember Ridmii’s robot from way back, they have a new one now. They called the last one “Tenar,” while this one is “Tenar Pro.” I don’t know the difference, but the non-synced moving-mouth (see video) is kind of unpleasant. As for the photos, they seem really edited, but the backdrop or green screen looks kind of cool and futuristic.

Kiradols
Kiradols teased a new head that seems incredibly normal (compared to their other heads). It reminds me of some of WM’s anime heads and has unique makeup. Tears under one eye, and even the tongue has a pattern on it.
Random Ending
Last but not least, while brands were bing chilling, @lanbaixihua (one of Bezlya’s photographers) was jiggling some ass. Why is this here? Well, It’s like ASMR for doll enthusiasts (and technically an upcoming photoset). Thank you for the jiggles, good sir.
Conclusion
That wraps up another slow week, but not without sights to see – tall sights to see. Evas Doll’s 200cm beat the record for tallest doll – at a height some people didn’t think possible. But at over 80 kg (with head), is it really plausible or just a gimmick for now? Imagine the Fedex driver handling this one. Evas Doll values thickness, so a skinny version doesn’t seem likely. Meanwhile, Dolls Castle had a super skinny 183cm, but in TPE, it’s still 42.5 kg (94 lbs) – which sounds crazy to say is half the weight of Evas’. But for the taller folks out there, maybe you’ll appreciate the taller trend lately. I guess they really stood out. Otherwise, there were some interesting new heads, with tall and celebrity lookalikes on the rise. That sounds like a winning combination. Until next time!
Thoughts on surprisingly interesting week where tall dolls carried the show? Comment below!
Evas Doll
That picture with the doll next to the guys is so funny. The guy in front in one of the pictures is at exactly the right height. The head is indeed too small and not proportial to the body. Do you know if a forklift is included?
Funwest Doll
This is the best photoshoot for me for this post with excellent poses, 3 dolls with different bodies and a nice theme. It makes the dolls come alive.
Dolls Castle
I came here for the spoiler of course :). The “120 pig thing” and “lol tf is this?” he names it, hahahaha. Wait is it supposed to pregnant?
The Bat, Mouse and Veloura are pretty cool though as collectors items.
Ridmii
You can buy the robotics head at several vendors which I didn’t know (one listing shows it’s the “R-163-V1-403C-Tenar Pro”). I think it’s very unclear what this head can really do and what you are buying. Cool idea for the future.
Sometimes for smaller bodies, brands will downscale the heads, but they didn’t upscale the head for the 200cm body – so every head will look tiny on it.. And forklifts sold separately. 😆
Dolls Castle is just being weird. They like to throw in penises and weird butt holes in everything.. I think the belly button might actually be penetrable.
According to Ridmii, they upgraded the hardware and software in the Tenar Pro for faster response times. However, the video is too edited and not a good comparison or showcase in my opinion.
Nice. Robotics are coming! I am close friends with somebody from Stella-Dolls and they are cooking!!!
Love the video with the butt jiggle 😀 amazing!
They have a robot coming? Better or worse than Ridmii’s? 🤔
I think way better! But I can’t drop too much info… I know more than I can say Stevey… xD
Wow the new IT head has me rather intrigued. None of vendors I normally buy from have a listing up yet though
Irontech’s Young Series seems oddly neglected in the West. Vendors still don’t have photosets from a month ago. I’m guessing this new head will take a while too.
Wow you’re definitely right on that. I just checked their taobao/tmall store and there’s one head I’ve never seen before named Li and a different version of Zia was posted too
I find the trend towards bigger, heavier dolls baffling. I do understand that if you’re big and tall yourself, having dolls your size might be a welcome change.
It’s just that doll owners have complained about heavy dolls for years. It’s often listed on TDF as one of the primary reasons people regret buying dolls. I suppose if you know that you want heavy, it’s fine. But if you’re elderly, short, or have back problems, these heavyweight dolls are unusable.
I also want to add that I worked at UPS for years. While the company loved making us work and abusing us physically, they forbid us to lift/move anything over 75lbs. The risk of injury was just too great. If companies like Amazon and UPS who are notorious for injuring their people won’t force their employees to do it, I’m pretty sure we shouldn’t be trying to lift dolls like that alone.
I agree. Bigger and heavier dolls have been trending all summer. Although weight reduction is improving, it’s still not there yet, so the big, heavy dolls are basically traps for newcomers. I think after years of emphasizing lighter dolls, a large gap opened up in the thicker/BBW niche that brands are suddenly rushing to fill. Some people will like it, but yeah, history will likely repeat itself when people start complaining again.
Manufacturers try, just look at Irontech with the Ultra Low Weight (ULW) series. Years ago you would need to get a smaller doll or get a Tayu with very good weight reduction. New materials and techniques have improved the situation a lot when you see the old vs. new weights.
I also fully agree that for many people the weight is a serious issue for long term doll ownership. I can’t imagine having to move something like the legendary Starpery Ursala around, putting aside that I don’t get why anyone would get that body type with all the other options around. Maybe there is a “bigger” market for it than I thought :p.
Mom, I’m scared of Dolls Castle
Have you seen the furry sex doll of SCP-1471 Mal0 from some vendor called nidthedragon ?
My first time seeing it, but it doesn’t look too bad. I’m not into the head, but the body looks perfectly fine.
A 2 meter mommy holy moly! Almost nobody will buy it but respect for Evas Doll for doing it anyway.
Thats not Mercy, its something but not the OW beauty, looks like Grok Ani. The eyes are just wrong and ruining it more than the outfit. But thats all old news
It was apparently a custom doll for a customer which they made available to everyone. But yeah, I doubt many people will order it. It opens a door for taller dolls in the future though. I can imagine other brands already getting some ideas. Something for everyone, or back pain for everyone.. including the deliveryman.
