Time flies by, as May paves way for more sex doll news. Things picked up again with some new releases, though it was a mixed bag overall. This week, Jinsan unveiled their latest “Vine Talk AI Box,” Top-Cydoll’s Shuyu melts hearts, and Sigafun launched their “AI Dolls” collection. It sounds like there was a lot of AI, but did it ultimately impress or flop? Stay tuned to find out. Without further ado, let’s catch up on another week of sex doll news.

Jinsan/WM Doll

Jinsan released their “Vine Talk AI Box,” basically Metabox 2.0, but this time, as a wearable necklace. It features an AI chatbot with 8 personalities, remembers previous conversations, and has various voices and languages. Personally, I like the idea of wearable much more than built-into the doll. Various brands are offering this, including Funwest Doll, so it’s not only limited to Jinsan brands. Having said that, I wasn’t particularly impressed with their original Metabox, and this seems similar with maybe a few tweaks.

For a limited time, many brands and vendors are including it for free with orders in May. However, one thing that isn’t clearly mentioned is the unsettling monthly subscription fees. While it’s not uncommon for AI software to have monthly fees, this one seems particularly bad considering what it does. Pennies for the first month, then suddenly $59-99/month depending on the plan. Considering there are cheaper AI alternatives out there, this just seems too expensive for the average person. While their goal may be to make money on the software rather than the hardware, for most people, it may just end up as a paperweight after the first month.

Elsa Babe

Back to anime, Elsa Babe released their latest Tsukuyomi Ayana head on the 148cm body. Personally, I quite like this one. She reminds me of old-school anime characters, and the smug face and sideways smirk are nice touches.

Starpery

After endless photosets, Starpery released a new head called Dache Zheng. Perhaps their strangest-named head, she has an Asian face that isn’t particularly unique, but the red theme is pleasing to look at.

They also showcased their Phebe on the rarely-shown 159E body. Kind of cute, but this body has really skinny arms and legs (which you can’t tell from the zoomed-in photos).

Top-Cydoll

As previously-teased, Top-Cydoll released their Shuyu head with the “acne details.” Surprisingly, I think they struck gold with this one. Going in an unexpected direction – the opposite of a supermodel doll with perfect skin – the blemishes give her a strangely realistic and “ordinary person” type of look. Japanese-inspired, she gives off a natural cuteness with hints of sadness and insecurity.

They also shared 2 new photosets, starting with their ebony 170C Zaria. She didn’t get much attention when she first launched so now, she’s back for round 2.

Speaking of Round 2, they also shared new photos of last week’s 170D Tanya. She still fits well on the thick body.

Game Lady

Game Lady returned with new photos of their 165G Mai Shiranui. This time, they improved her hair to closer-resemble the character, both in color and style. I think she looks much better here than before.

SHEDOLL

Shedoll shared new photos of their recent Tanya (Jiang Xiaotang) head, this time with heavy makeup for maximum cuteness. This is definitely one of their more memorable heads in a while.

XT Doll

Speaking of cute, XT Doll released a new head called Rino. Although these photos seem filtered or edited, she looks pretty cute and stylish.

Quick note: XT Doll also launched their Super Weight Reduction 2.0. By default, all their silicone bodies will have this, which makes the material softer and more durable, but also weighs 1-2 kg heavier than 1.0. I won’t bother showing all the body-specs photos since all the specs are the same except weight. Overall, it’s a welcomed material improvement like SLE 2.0, but there are no videos.

Top Fire Doll

Top Fire Doll returned with a new 176cm Willa. In nice outdoor photos, the new body is tall, muscular, and athletic, while the head seems European or Latina-inspired. An interesting tall and muscle-toned doll, though no weight was given for some reason. It’s part of their “Ultra Light” series though.

Climax Doll

Also returning is Climax Doll, who released a new Si70 Mila. Personally, I think this is one of their best mini designs so far, like a muscular succubus, but with weird bunny ears. I would have preferred horns.

On the topic of bunnies, I should show their mini “Lola Bunny” doll that I skipped last week. In new colors, this is like the portable version, with a size comparison at the end (same height as the doll above).

Galatea Doll

And one more brand returning is Galatea Doll, with new photos of their 163cm + Head JS#163. I think this head is quite pretty.

JX Doll

JX Doll released 3 new heads (M8, M11, & M12). Possibly the best photos they’ve taken, but I think many of them have filters so they’re likely deceptive (not AI though, or is it?). I still don’t have much info on them other than they’re a budget silicone brand, and apparently, their dolls were once produced by CY, then years ago, they moved to a new factory.

Next, this head looks super similar to Jarliet’s Eve head, like nearly identical.

One more photo

Sigafun

Last but not least, Sigafun stealth-launched their “AI Dolls” collection (possibly a month ago). Previously, Sigafun was Irontech Doll’s torso brand (with no heads), but for whatever reason, they have full-body dolls now. They also went the Zelex SLE path where all their dolls are in-stock only. Considering no one knew these dolls existed, they only began marketing the dolls this week.

They’re all hybrid (silicone head + TPE body) with Irontech’s usual aesthetics, featuring 3 bodies and 5 heads (separate from Irontech’s heads or bodies). But to curb your enthusiasm early, they’re surprisingly heavy. With head, the 159cm body is ≈ 42 kg (93 lbs), 163cm ≈ 43 kg (95 lbs), and 164cm ≈ 49 kg (108 lbs).

Sigafun Photos

Next, it’s time for the mega image dump. They have a whopping 22 photosets, and while I tried my best to cut it down, I also wanted to show as much as possible.

What exactly makes them AI? According to their website, there’s a “voice device” built-into the head and a mobile app called “Truepal App” that lets you chat with the doll. However, they’re super vague about it (with no descriptions or videos) and many vendors don’t even mention this feature, which is odd. I’m pretty sure they don’t come with it by default, despite the collection being called “AI Dolls.” You probably have to choose an option to get the “AI head.”

Thanks to mass-production and shipping to in-stock warehouses, they’re very affordable at around $1000 (without AI head), and I’m guessing around $1600 with the AI head? They’re like a budget alternative to hybrid Irontech dolls.

Conclusion

That wraps up another week of sex doll news. Although AI was the theme-of-the-week, it ultimately seemed to flop with Vine Talk’s outrageous subscription fees, and Sigafun’s loosely-named collection. Instead, I thought Top-Cydoll’s “acne Shuyu” stole the show. Straying away from “perfect supermodel” dolls, her imperfections turned out to be a crowd-pleaser. Maybe this unexpected realism will spark an “imperfections theme” among brands. There were also some cool things like Top Fire Doll’s new tall and athletic body, JX Doll heads, and Climax Doll’s little muscular bunny. Maybe muscular was a theme this week as well. Anyway, there was quite a lot to see, including the mountain of Sigafun photos, which I still don’t really know the purpose of. Maybe Irontech plans to focus on silicone and launch TPE bodies on Sigafun instead. Well, I guess time will tell. As always, stay tuned for more sex doll news!
