Last week, Christmas started early with a flurry of news, but left no seconds for this week.. Unfortunately, the updates dried up as some brands were at an expo, while others were replenishing their reserves. Looks like it’ll be a quiet Christmas this year since there wasn’t much to see. The biggest news was Zelex’s new SLE 3.0 upgrade, and mainly just some photos from other brands. Therefore, let’s get Christmas jingling as we breeze through an incredibly short week of news.

Elsa Babe

Still going strong, Elsa Babe released a new head called Kaneda Shio. Although another anime head, I thought the eye design was more unique than usual with white eyelids, giving a fluffy/snowy look.

Zelex

Headlining this week, Zelex upgraded their SLE series to 3.0. About a year since they launched 2.0, the latest SLE 3.0 features 6 huge and welcomed improvements:

1. Weight Reduction: 3-4 kg (7-9 lbs) lighter among all bodies
2. Softer body: “Fully soft inner core” for a more realistic feel
3. Sexual Improvements: Softened vaginal and anal cavities
4. Increased Durability: “Reinforced silicone material for improved tear-resistance”
5. Standing without bolts: Hard feet that can stand on its own (still not recommended for long-term standing)
6. More flexible: Joints are more flexible for “smoother motion and longer-lasting durability”

Each feature is highly welcomed, like weight reduction and increased softness. And aesthetically, they should look the same since it was mostly internal/material changes. While it’s a noticeable improvement from 2.0, they’re still missing some things like toe joints and the new hand skeleton many brands have. Well, to maintain their affordable prices ($1800 in-stock), you can’t have everything. Overall, this year’s SLE iteration seems like a great success while maintaining its cost-effectiveness.

Fanreal

Fanreal shared more photos of their UniSeries, AIO 170G Maria. Nice to see that their UniSeries isn’t forgotten, even if it’s just a new photoset.

MMX Doll

Next, MMX Doll released a new 85 torso (103 with head) featuring their Menghan head. With Real Skin Texture and natural proportions, she looks quite realistic and pretty – though still a bit heavy at 23 kg (51 lbs) without the head.

Starpery

After much silence, Starpery returned with a new silicone 160C body. Featuring their Lubby head, they unleashed their artistic side with a petite and graceful body. A vendor (Booty Call Dolls) said it will also be available in 150cm and 175cm heights – so I assume Starpery likes it so much, they’ll scale it up and down. She weighs around 26 kg (57 lbs) in total with Weight Reduction 4.0. (they also edited out her neckseam in some photos)

They also released a new head called Luli in a very anime-ish style. Looks somewhat interesting and a small step in a different direction for them.

Tayu

Tayu celebrated Christmas with new photos of their silicone 150C Yuki. She looks pretty cute, and they emphasized her round assets.

Sanhui

Keeping the momentum going, Sanhui shared new photos of their 158cm Miantu (Head #34). With a cutesy Asian style, the photos are bright, colorful, and very Sanhui in style.

Doll Senior

Doll Senior teased many Christmas photos lately, but still haven’t released most of them. For now, here are some new shots of the 160D MeiXiao (ROS), as well as the 170G Celestia and 165F Sable.

MD Doll

Meanwhile, MD Doll released 2 new heads, starting with an Asian head called May. In a Wuxia swordswoman cosplay, she looks pretty interesting though they didn’t pose her much. Some action poses with the sword could have spiced things up.

Next, they welcomed in Christmas with the 166D Eileen. In their usual full-lipped style, she’s the latest hottie who looks good in red.

Top Fire Doll

Meanwhile, Top Fire Doll released a new head called Ingrid. With an interesting Viking theme (which reminds me of Irontech’s Snow Angels last week), she looks pretty nice in these simple, but effective photos.

Kulovedoll

Showing signs of life, Kulovedoll finally returned with 3 new heads. Their debut dolls looked pretty good so I was curious what would come next. Unsurprisingly, they have 3 more compelling Western heads, showcased on 3 different bodies.

165D Lyra

166E Rosy

Iro (Last but not least)

Quickly adapting, Iroke released 2 new anime heads, shifting toward taller bodies this time. This includes Komachi (S-TPE 149cm & 156cm) and Hiiro (150cm Big Breasts). They look interesting, though maybe not as memorable or iconic as their earlier designs. I’m still waiting for them to revive their Piper series.

Conclusion

That wraps up a quiet and chilly Christmas special. Zelex’s SLE 3.0 stole the show, which had many important upgrades. While they don’t have the latest technology like Real Skin Texture or toe joints, they found their niche in the right price range, giving the most bang-for-your-buck. Otherwise, there were some interesting things here and there, like Starpery’s return, more from Kulovedoll, and some Christmas photos. There was also an adult expo in Shenzhen last weekend, but I really couldn’t find anything besides 1 or 2 pictures. In the end, last week was really the peak for December. I’m predicting a few more Christmas photos before the year’s over, but hopefully there’s more than just that. As always, stay tuned for more sex doll news!
