October marches on as the news continues to creep in. While there were some new Halloween photos and other releases here and there, they were mostly overshadowed by: Torsos. That’s a first. Zelex’s new SLE torsos (as well as Fanreal’s new torso) stole the spotlight and it was torso-mania this week – as dolls became more portable, affordable, and accessible. Still, there were plenty of new heads and full-sized dolls to look at. Without further ado, let’s see what treats came out this time around.
WM Doll
WM Doll shared new photos of their classic 166cm C-cup body with Head #399. This head isn’t shown often, but looks rather nice in this simple outfit with headphones.
For Halloween, SE Doll showcased their TPE 158cm Samantha with special makeup. I’m not sure if she’s meant to look like a certain character, but I like the face markings and color theme.
Additionally, SE Doll now offers the Wheat and Cocoa skin tones for their silicone dolls. More skin tones are always good, and it’ll be interesting to see their usual dolls in new colors.
Irontech Doll
Irontech revealed the specs of their upcoming Violet Voss replica doll. At 178cm, she might be the tallest doll they’ve ever made. Meanwhile, the weight (41 kg / 90.4 lbs) is just a bit on the heavy side.
Out of nowhere, Zelex launched their SLE Torsos collection – featuring torso versions of 4 SLE bodies (so far). Apparently under wraps for a long time, it came out quite unexpectedly with 20 photosets ready-to-go. If you ever wanted a lighter SLE doll without the arms and legs, you’re in luck. At least for now (I don’t know if it’s a launch promo or not), many reputable vendors have them listed at $990. Since the SLE series has always been mass-produced (in-stock) and affordable, the new torso lineup is a great entry point for those who always wanted to try a SLE doll.
Fanreal kept the trend going and released their first-ever torso: the 95cm G-cup. Shown with the Maria and Xue heads, they kept the realistic details (including the arms and hands) at a more portable size.
Video
They also released Kelly, a new head on their 170cm body. With increased focus on Western heads lately, her face is slightly more-mature and toned compared to previous dolls. Unconfirmed, but this might be her regular mouth without ROS (although it looks like ROS, no vendors mentioned it).
Galatea Doll
Galatea released a new mature head called JS#098. Personally, I quite like the realism, and it’s definitely one of the better mature heads I’ve seen.
SY Doll (Rosretty)
On a mission to bring catgirls to life, SY Doll returned this week with 2 more cat heads. Starting with the 140cm + Head M42, she looks a bit more anime or cartoony than the previous one.
Additionally, they released a new S17 head on their 156cm body. To be fair, this isn’t actually a cat head – just cat-themed accessories and makeup. I think the BBW body looks super sexy, but it’s expectedly heavy at 46.6 kg (103 lbs).
Lacedoll
Lacedoll released 2 new heads, Chen Lu and Mu Xue (might be incorrect translations). They look fairly stylish, and I believe this is the recent 168cm body (shared with Shedoll).
Doll Senior
A while ago, Doll Senior released the 160cm “Tank Series” (or Light Tank) body that you might remember. However, they only just now finished the photoset, along with a new head called Yin MeiKong. It’s an interesting thicker body that’s relatively light at 35 kg (77 lbs), and the head is somewhat cute.
Bezlya
If you wanted to see more photos of Bezlya’s recent replica doll of Gushizhu, some vendors began adding her. I didn’t have the nude photos last time so they’re worth showing.
Manyou / SGD Studio
For people who ordered, SGD Studio nearly completed all their Eimi Fukada figures. According to a vendor, they’re estimated to ship around mid-November. Like with Tifa, they shared some sleek photos (and a video) of the impending maid army.
Aibei
Last, I wasn’t sure whether to show these are not, but after endless AI photos, Aibei actually shared some photos without AI. First, they released a new TPE head (AB24) which looks interesting on their 160cm body. Also new photos of silicone head AB23 (with ROS) on a TPE 166cm body. With a good photographer, AI isn’t needed.
Conclusion
That wraps up another week of news. This week, it was torso season as Zelex and Fanreal both introduced new torso bodies. Personally, I think Zelex’s onto something with such affordable silicone torso dolls. For under $1000, they’re great entry-level dolls for beginners, and I think they’ll do very well. As usual, these releases always come out of nowhere (despite being in the works for months), which makes the doll industry exciting and unpredictable.
Meanwhile, there were more variety in heads here and there, but largely overshadowed by Zelex and Fanreal. Let’s see if October can finish strong next week before brands head out for the Guangzhou expo. Until next time!

I absoluty love that SY M8 Elf and it has been on top of my consideration list for quite a while. So I am very disappointed to find out that this new set of photos is just an AI edit of an existing photo shoting…

Wow, I didn’t know that. They did that before with a Quiet cosplayer’s photos, but these didn’t look AI to me. I’ll remove the photos immediately. Thanks for letting me know. 👍
Sure. It was not very obvious because everything except the face and the breasts were from real photos. I just discovered it because I tried reverese image searching to find a site that sells it. Maybe one day… she would make an awesome Zelda cosplay doll.
Beautiful dolls this week. I haven’t heard of doll senior but their doll looks nice.
Thanks for the new.
No problem. I’ve covered Doll Senior a little before. They’re lesser-known, but more global vendors began carrying them recently. They remind me a bit of Bezlya and there isn’t much info on them, but they increased their marketing a lot lately.
Glad Fanreal decided to release torsos. Just wished they did the arms and legs like the zelex sle ones, maybe in the future. Think it looks a bit weird that desing. Price is good too, at least when i compare it to other brands that focus on realism.
Where can europeans purchase the Zelex torsos? I only see them as in stock for the US at MRD
Hi Robert,
The SLE torsos are only in-stock in the US at the moment (all SLE dolls ship from Zelex’s warehouses). You can try asking a vendor, but from what I’ve read on TDF (from a vendor called DollPimp), there’s no word on EU yet. I’m guessing it’ll be in-stock there in the future, but right now, it doesn’t seem like anyone in the EU can order one.
WM 166 was hot!
That Irontech tall doll is like 90lbs.
Fanreal ROS Kelly looked hot
SY 156 had a nice body
That petite SY Doll was sure something.
That Doll Senior Yin MeiKong had a nice fat ass.
Thanks for this week’s post
