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!
