This isn’t news, but lately, I saw many posts with people comparing factory photos to promo photos. For years, these differences came from professional/factory lighting, photo editing, makeup, etc. However, one increasingly big reason is photographer makeup. Basically, brands send dolls to professional photographers, who use their own makeup, wigs, clothing, etc, to produce the best photos possible. Therefore, dolls from the factory won’t have the same makeup, wig, or clothing photographers use, which is deceptive but a very common doll industry practice.
Here’s a recent video from White Rabbit, a professional makeup artist and vendor, showing his work, but also demonstrating how photographers can completely change a head’s appearance through makeup.
I’ve been looking on a lot of websites for a silicone one that has a big butt, but I can’t find it. I only find models with big breasts. At the moment I was able to find this one even though she has really big breasts lol. Her name is Emma (145cm) and she belongs to FJ Doll. Do you know any silicone model that has a big butt like the tpe ones?
Hi Pyronite,
Off the top of my head, Irontech’s silicone dolls have big butts. Maybe also JY Doll and Piper Doll. Now that I think about it, many silicone brands don’t have huge butts since they focus more on realism. Irontech might be the brand to look at.
Hello Sir, thanks for another great update. I appreciate your comments on the promo photos. Really doll buyers and lookyloos have completely different picture needs. If I want to look at pretty dollies, then dress them up, make them up, etc etc. But If I am actually shopping then I don’t care about the outfit, or the hair, or the makeup unless its included. Too many vendors put up 10 pictures of a girl in cloths you don’t get, and never even show the dolls profile or Love Hole Placement.I wish all vendors would show nude front back and side views in a relaxed standing position, so the customer can see what is actually for sale. Just my two cents worth.
Hi Stephan,
I believe that is what most customers want. However, for various reasons – mainly to make sales and money – brands want their “product photos” to look as attractive as possible, which involves custom makeup, wigs, and clothing (from photographers), as well as hiding any “problems” with the doll. For example, most photos will hide the neck seam, LHP, vaginal gaping, seamlines, certain angles, among other things. Some brands do show their dolls standing (front and back) like SE Doll, but generally, brands will try to hide anything that doesn’t make the doll look good. This is why factory and customer photos are so important. This is, unfortunately, not good for consumers but that’s just how the doll industry works.
Thank you, Steven, for updating us with the latest doll news of the week. We really enjoyed it. We are delighted to see that you have updated a video about JYDoll’s silicone doll weight loss. In fact, we were fortunate enough to receive an invitation from Mr. Sun, the general manager of JYDoll (the handsome guy in the video), to create an English translation of the video. Here’s the link: https://vimeo.com/809985321. We also received the 163cm silicone doll after her weight loss and will be making an unboxing video for her in one or two weeks, which we will be sharing on our YouTube channel.
Hi Marvel,
Thank you for the translated video. I added it to my post and credited you. I understood the main point of it, but it’s much more interesting to watch with the English subtitles. 👍
