Preface


The Master Post link is available at the end if you are navigating via the mobile template.

This blog was made with the purpose of providing an easy to find and organized resource in English for those wishing to purchase loli, shota, or anime life size dolls. Included are companion and sex (love) dolls.

The main purpose of this blog is to provide Western lolicons and shotacons with a resource for dolls. Other sections of the blog for anime dolls will focus on more niche categories, such as kemono or bishounen dolls (as I myself are only interested in male dolls, so I might as well).

Regular size anime dolls are a lot easier to find and more mainstream. If you are understandably NOT into lolisho, these other sections are separated, so you can avoid sections you don't want to see if you still need those other resources.

To my knowledge, there are no resources available for these types of small dolls that:

  • Are not within shady websites with shady individuals
  • Allow access to the information without requiring you to sign up for said information. And if you DO sign up, you are required to dig through unorganized posts.

This simple blog wishes to remedy that, as increase in demand for resources about these dolls have gone up in recent years.
The blog will be organized to redirect to specific entries, as to not have a giant wall of text. Only the Legality section will be fully contained here, since that will make or break whether you can actually own a doll.

My expertise and focus is on anime and unrealistic dolls, with other small dolls being thrown in there may not be enough anime options for that category of dolls. So if you are sensitive, then it's best to click off the site. You should use the resources provided here responsibly.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

As I only own a single doll from one manufacturer, I cannot comment on the quality of every doll shown in this blog.


My Advice To You Regarding Love Doll Quality


Look into the manufacturer and overall doll quality in regular sex doll places or blogs. Almost all of these manufacturers provided here make regular sized dolls. It is way easier to find information and reviews of regular sized dolls.

The discussion of small dolls are prohibited almost everywhere in the Western doll circles, so it's why you will not find information specifically about these dolls (and why this blog was made). It's common sense but you should also not ask about these dolls within those circles.

Step 1 - Legality for Certain Types of Dolls

For clarification, this section is only for dolls with obvious built in sex functionality. If you just want a companion doll that does not come with any of those functions, and there are dolls listed in this blog that fit that criteria, this section does not apply. It is worth to note that even some love doll manufacturers offer their bodies without any orifices and can be used as traditional dolls for photography, etc.

If your loli or shota doll comes with sex functionality, you have to check the legality of such dolls in your region.

Why are they banned if some are unrealistic? Simply put: Because they lack breasts and are small, so there are reactionary responses to them. Even some clearly cartoony dolls can be banned from not meeting "acceptable" height requirements or breast size.

Inquire with the shop you are buying your doll from about legality in your region or state.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵


Workarounds Within the USA

In the USA, a workaround to this issue is to get the doll shipped to a state where they are not illegal. You can then drive to that state and pick it up.

You should ship it to people you actually know and not something like a PO box. This is because the doll box needs to be laid flat during transit and after delivery. If your doll does not have standing feet bolts, the legs can be damaged if left upright for prolonged periods of time after delivery. It should also not be left upright standing on its neck.

You preferably want friends or family members handling a valuable purchase. The dolls are shipped in generic brown boxes, so nobody will actually know what it is unless you choose to tell them.

Example of a doll's box


Excerpt from The Doll Channel shop:

[In regards to small doll bans] "If you want to enjoy a small doll, feel free to come on down to San Antonio Texas where you can pick up your doll in person."

I buy all my doll specific supplies and wigs from The Doll Channel.

They have excellent customer service and I have never had any issues. Since these dolls are already niche enough in the Western world and I'm someone who really tries to support American owned business, I absolutely recommend them.

To my knowledge at the time of writing this post, they are the only shop within US borders that can offer you a small doll (also offers a variety of regular anime dolls) if you prefer to not order from abroad or want to risk navigating the overseas market. The Doll Channel acts as a middleman. To my knowledge, Ricky from TDC can get almost any dolls for you.

If there is a doll you want from a specific manufacturer that he doesn't carry on the website, you can chat or e-mail him about it. The shop answers fast.

Possible Workarounds for Elsewhere

I have seen people in other countries do this workaround, as well. They drive to a country where the doll is not illegal and pick it up. Then they drive back.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

※ Use this knowledge responsibly, of course. Do not go to actual jail for being horny by ordering a doll directly through the mail in a region where they are illegal. Foreign customs will seize your doll and have your contact information.

Europeans should be especially cautious, as they are illegal in a lot more countries there.

Step 1.5 - Your Doll Requires Maintenance

I had to include this step here before the good stuff, like picking your doll.

It is extremely important to know that love dolls do require maintenance. Even if you do not have sex with your doll, it does still need maintenance. Aside from the legality, this will also make or break your decision. If you do not care for your doll, your expensive purchase will be wasted when it inevitably gets damaged due to poor maintenance.

It's not as scary or demanding as it sounds and there will be far more detail in a maintenance section I will include separately.

Some of the key points here do not apply to fabric love dolls. Information about them in available HERE to see if they are a good fit for you. With the caveat being they are even more niche in the West and I am still working on learning more about them.

The most important key points being:

  • TPE dolls require constant powdering (baby powder or corn starch) or they get tacky and attract dust. They also require a full body oiling with mineral oil. Best practices are to oil them at least every 3 months but some people do it just twice a year. I personally do it every 3 months.
  • Silicone dolls do not "require" powdering but it's a good practice. It can help reduce their glossy look. They do not require oiling at all, which is why they are also more expensive.
  • If you have sex with your doll, whether TPE, silicone, or fabric, you need to thoroughly clean and dry the inside or it will grow mold. If you have sex multiple times a day, you can see how lugging around a 25-50 lbs doll to clean the inside might not be for you. I will include videos about cleaning insides in another post. There is also a less hassle, albeit expensive, cleaning device you can buy.
  • The doll needs to be laid flat or suspended (with a special kit) when not in use. So make sure you have plenty of room on your bed or to store the doll back in its shipping box laying flat. Suspending is the best option here. If suspending, make sure your closet is strong enough to hold the doll but you can also buy a heavy duty rack for your doll, which is what I personally use but again, does require room.

I keep my doll on my bed for months, slightly flat with a pillow supporting his spine and head. This isn't recommended because it can make their butts flat or cause damage to the skeleton if not flat enough but I have a good quality memory foam mattress and because I don't have sex with my doll, the butt doesn't really matter to me. I can also just buy another body but if you went through a lot of trouble to get your doll, care for it properly!


︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

These are the main points and if I think of any other that need to known, I will make sure to add them.

Tips for Buying Doll Clothes

Preface

This section has been reworked a bit. My personal doll photo shoots and products used have been moved elsewhere. If you know, then you know. lol
Now this section will just have general guidance for buying clothes for your own doll.

Shopping for doll clothes and dressing them is really fun. I like to take pictures of my doll in cute outfits.
This year, I have started to take my doll photography more seriously and do it when I can. I'm not a professional and just take the photos with my phone for now. I retouch them in Photoshop to get rid of some of the crappy quality.

I tend to stick to Amazon because the delivery and return process is worry free if you're a Prime member. However, you can find affordable doll clothes in thrift stores and online stores such as Shein, eBay, and Aliexpress.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Tips for Shopping Doll Clothes

If you're a beginner, shop only for clothes that have a size chart available if the store you're using has no easy returns. When you buy a doll, the measurements of the doll should be on the page. It is a good idea to keep measurements such as the bust, waist and height handy, preferably written down somewhere.

I recommend sizing up with children's clothes but you will tend to stick to size x-small or small (even this can be too big, depending on the clothing article) with adult clothes on small dolls if those can even be worn by your doll.

Cheaper children's clothes tend to come in Asian sizes, usually labeled as 110-150. For example, my 133cm doll should use size 140 clothes. 130 clothes will be too tight on him.

For every day socks, I recommend white non-binding Diabetic socks for women, as these tend to be smaller. These are the ones I use in size 9-11 for my doll. Pull them all the way up so they don't bunch up.

You should be careful with clothes that have binding elastics and not leave them on your doll for many hours. It can cause an imprint on the material, which is sometimes permanent. Yet non-stretchy clothes can be difficult to put on dolls, too. You should remove the head for an easier time. You should be wary of tight fitting bras, as well. Feel free to get whatever clothes you like but also keep in mind the limitations of dolls, as their skins can't heal like ours.

Dark or black clothes can stain your doll, whether TPE or silicone. You can avoid many headaches and staining by just treating clothes with Retayne, though. It makes fabric prone to bleeding retain its color after a treatment. If you screwed up and didn't have Retayne, staining can be remedied by bloating the area with oil (only TPE dolls) or some doll shops sell stain remover, though it's very expensive. If you own a TPE doll, you should test the clothes on a TPE block that was hopefully included with your doll order.

I keep my doll mostly in a baggy t-shirt made of cotton when not shooting photos. This way no imprints on the materials are caused by the clothes.

Doll Photography Supplies I Use

Budget Ring Light

ringlight.jpg

What I Personally Use: GearLight 10 inch Ring Light

I don't have a lot of room, so this small light is what I have to use. I recommend pairing this with an overhead light, which I sadly don't have at the time. If you have no other light source in your room, like me, this small ring light will not fully get you clear pictures but provides acceptable results which could later be improved in Photoshop. It's simply not strong enough to get rid of all graininess from a dark room but the compact size is great for tight spaces and I do plan to pair this later by installing an overhead light. I found it works best when it's very close to the doll and slightly overhead.

If you have a big room, you should get a more professional photography light instead. They're a lot bulkier and stronger.

Tapestry Clamps

clamps.jpg


These are used to hold up the backdrop of my doll photos. They're easy to install and can be done by one person, though certainly easier with another one.

Recommended Doll Supplies

Preface

This is a rework of an informative post I had written on some forums, now with some new additions. This information can be viewed here publicly as opposed to being locked behind a forum anymore. When I received my doll, I took notice of interesting supplies others used that were "unorthodox" and not made specifically for dolls. These will also be mentioned here, as they have made caring for my doll easier. Any product that I personally use, will be linked and I don't include links for products I don't personally own.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Necessary Supplies

The supplies here are standard and this info isn't anything new but I do use some variants of the usual supplies.

Baby Powder or Corn Starch
For TPE dolls but also suggested for silicone to reduce shininess

powder.jpg

cornstarch.jpg

What I Personally Use: Argo Cornstarch

Powder is indispensable for TPE dolls and you should get this even before your dolls arrives! If you suffer from stuffy nose due to scents, like me, you can use unscented baby powder or cornstarch. Johnson's makes unscented powder but for some reason, this is only available in Japan and I was only able to find scented powder natively sold here.
Raw cornstarch doesn't distribute as neatly as the processed powder, so you will need a sifter. Cornstarch is also 100% edible, unlike powder, so it's good to know if you put your mouth on your doll.

I recommend cutting your nails short or wearing a soft cloth glove so you don't scratch your doll during powdering time.

(Optional) Sifter for Cornstarch

sifter.jpg

This is what I use to powder large areas of my doll. I'll be honest, it's not very good and still dispenses a lot of powder if you are not careful but I haven't found a better alternative just yet. Please leave a comment or contact me if you know something better! I did try to buy a powder dispenser used by barbers and it just didn't work at all with the cornstarch.
You need to shake it gently onto the doll and distribute the powder with soft patting motions, like making tortillas.

Kabuki Brush

kabuki.jpg

What I Personally Use: Ecotools Kabuki Brush

This small brush helps to powder small areas and the face. You definitely don't want to just throw powder onto the face or you may end up with tackiness from powder accumulation. I recommend one with a cap so it doesn't collect dust. It's helpful to have multiple of these brushes, as they do get over saturated with powder easily and need to be washed often.

Mineral Oil
For TPE dolls

oil.jpg

What I Personally Use: Swan Mineral Oil

You should also have mineral oil before your dolls arrives. There is plain mineral oil that is food grade as shown or a lot of people also really like the scented versions, often referred to as baby oil. If you will put your mouth on your doll or have scent allergies, I recommend the food grade one. Both food grade oil and baby oil has had all of its impurities stripped from it and is safe for humans, unlike mineral oil used in machinery.

Soft Microfiber Cloths
For all dolls

microfiber.jpg

What I Personally Use: Mr. Siga Ultra Fine Microfiber Cloths

It's important to have these cloths to clean your doll, along with water and antibacterial hand soap if you choose. Traditional cloths have lint and they will make cleaning the doll harder.

Spray Bottles

spray bottle

For cleaning the doll with water or soap. I keep one with plain water and the other with a mixture of soap and water. I get my bottles from the local pharmacy.

(Optional) Antibacterial Hand Soap or Gentle Baby Wash

soap.jpg

vanicream.jpg

What I Personally Use: Vanicream Gentle Wash

Do not use soap with essential or coconut oils in them for dolls. Using soap made with oils seems to have caused some degradation in the TPE of my doll. This is because over oiling can damage the TPE and cause it to peel. If you are constantly cleaning your doll with this type of soap, that is extra oil is soaking in because the TPE absorbs oil fast. This didn't occur to me until I noticed recently his nose had a bit of peeling that is not normal. I change the lip color of my doll often and clean off the excess powder with the soap, which gets into the nose as well.

Most doll owners seem to use antibacterial hand soap, such as the brands Softsoap or Dial. I have seen a report of a bad reaction to a TPE doll with dish soap, so you should stick to hand soap. Dish soap appears to be way too harsh. I have been using the Vanicream baby wash to wash my doll because it's super gentle with no scent added and meant for a baby's skin.

Some doll owners do not use soap on their dolls, however. They clean the doll during their oiling maintenance, since the oil makes dirt on the doll easier to wipe away.

Extra Supplies

You don't need these but they do help and I personally use some of them.

Retayne Color Fixative
For treating dark clothes that could stain your doll

retayne.jpg


This concoction helps keep fabrics that bleed from staining your doll. It makes them retain their colors. Even silicone dolls can suffer staining from dark or black clothing. You should treat dark clothes with Retayne or test them on a TPE block before putting them on your doll.

wig cap

Wig Grip Cap
Very good for fabric dolls but also good for regular dolls


Simply put: this keeps your doll's wig in place (even if the doll is upside down!) for a more immersive life.

This is a new addition to my doll supplies that I began using after I bought my fabric doll. Since the fabric head has less grip than the harder materials, his wig would slip off easily. This was completely fixed by using this wig grip cap and I found out that this also fixes the issue of the wig slipping off for my TPE doll while sleeping! For me personally, this has become an indispensable supply for a more immersive life with my dolls. Get the Nude color to avoid staining for TPE/silicone dolls.

With the Milano brand I use and that specializes in wig products, the wig even stays on while having the doll upside down. I recommend the lace type grip cap after trying out both types, as it is less bulky than the regular type without lace and is less likely to be seen from certain angles or if the wig doesn't have bags.

I will also mention that you don't have to use this brand and there are cheaper generic brands, though I can't speak for their efficiency. I just opted to use the name brand, can personally vouch it works, and I have not looked to see if there are lace alternatives for the generic brands.

brush.jpg

Brush Made for Wigs

What I Personally Use: Milano Collection Gentle Wig Brush

Previously, I had been using a plastic wide tooth brush for my wigs and it was difficult to brush without pulling hairs out even if I started from the ends of the wig. Turns out that plastic brushes also create a lot of static, which also made my wigs frizzy and dull without much volume. You should buy a brush made specifically for wigs to prolong their life. After getting the gentle brush from Milano, my wigs became easier to detangle, it doesn't pull off the hairs, and gives them nice volume so they look more natural. It's really good and not very expensive!

Crocs or Ballet Shoes
For dolls with standing feet

crocs.jpg

balletshoes.jpg

What I Personally Use: Crocs Kids' Classic Clog and Ballet Shoes with Ribbon
The size 4 Big Kid (USA J4) Crocs fit my Catdoll perfectly. The size 3 Big Kid ballet shoes fit my Catdoll snugly and I have removed the elastic from the shoes so it doesn't dig into the TPE material.

I recommend getting these before ever attempting to get your doll to stand. These classic ugly clogs are a life saver for dolls with standing feet because the bolts dig into the shoe's material, preventing them from sliding around on the floor and causing damage to the doll's feet! It can be difficult to get a doll to stand and you don't want the bolts shifting around the material because it will absolutely rip it, as it happened to me day 1 of my doll trying to get him to stand.

I actually really like Crocs and I think they look cute on my doll. lol
If you absolutely hate Crocs, then the alternative is ballet shoes. It's a cheap enough investment to protect the fragile material on the doll's feet and keep the soles looking good as new.

Doll Stand
For dolls with standing feet

Dual-function-Sex-Doll-Stand1.jpg

Personally, I have never been able to get my doll to stand even though he has standing feet. I now own the stand shown and it's the only way I can get my two dolls to stand. Various love doll stores carry these or should be able to get it for you as there are not many models of these available and you can a single function or dual function stand. Single function only holds the doll up by the crotch area and dual function can do that plus also be able to support to the doll at the waist.

If you have a male doll without a detachable penis, I do not recommend the single function one because it would be squishing down on the material and I feel this could cause damage. Just like a real man, you don't want the weiner and balls being constricted even if the stand has that soft cloth base. For female dolls, there's barely any external material if held by the crotch. Girl's valuables are on the inside!

Heavy Duty Garment Rack and Hanging Kit

industrial rack

kit.jpg

What I Personally Use: Tatkraft 200lbs Capacity Heavy Duty Rack and my Catdoll uses this M16 Kit.

Suspension is one of the best and safest ways to store a doll, if you have the room and privacy to do it. You will notice that dolls are kept hung at the factories if you ever get a glimpse of factory photos. This is how I store my doll and bathe him when he's not on my bed. You will need to get a corresponding suspension kit to hang your doll by its neck bolt. Most dolls use an M16 connection but others require special connection kits. Heads can also be hanged with the suspension kit.

If you have a strong enough bar in your closet, the doll can be hanged there too but make sure there is absolutely not bending on the bar.

Do not cheapen out on these types of racks. A good quality one will run for quite a bit but you don't want the doll bending the bar at all or the bar could snap with your doll on it.

Doll Head Stand

doll headstand

What I Personally Use: M16 Connection Head Stand

It keeps your doll's head safe and steady when taking it off so it doesn't roll off places. It's also helpful for doing the doll's make-up.

Air Purifier
Helps with keeping dust off your doll

purifier.jpg

What I Personally Use: Blueair Small Room Air Purifier

This is definitely a luxury purchase but an air purifier helps keep pesky dust off my doll on top of helping me breathe better because I suffer from perpetual stuffiness. This one I have definitely works within my room because when I go out into the rest of the house, my stuffiness comes back after a while. This specific model claims to be one of the most quiet ones on the market and I sleep with it on without any issues in terms of the noise. If you have a very big room, make sure to get a model built for a large area instead. There are also more affordable ones, so of course you should get what you can afford.

Fish Tank Air Pump
For slowly drying dolls' orifices thoroughly

pump.jpg

What I Personally Use: Tetra 100 Gallon Air Pump

This is a more effective alternative to those white drying sticks for dolls and the poor man's alternative to the fancy WM Intelligent Cleaning Set for dolls.

This is helpful to have even for just washing your doll, as water can seep into the orifices. If you have sex with your doll, cleaning and drying the insides is absolutely vital or else it will grow mold! I would advice only getting the 100 gallon pump because other smaller capacity pumps I tried barely had any air coming out. The Tetra pump doesn't come with tubing but the tubing is extremely cheap to get and the pump does come with an air splitter, so you can have two strong gusts of air into the doll at once. It can still take over an hour or two to dry everything up properly.

WM Intelligent Cleaning Set

cleaningsystem.jpg

Most doll stores will sell this device. If you are within the USA, you can get it from The Doll Channel with local shipping.

The luxurious look can be felt on the price tag of this device! It will thoroughly clean and dry the orifices of the doll, making your life a lot easier specially if you are pounding your doll multiple times a day. I don't personally own one because I don't need it but those who own it do say great things about it.

steamer.jpg

Handheld Steamer
For fabric dolls

What I Personally Use: Rowenta Steamer in 6.5oz Capacity

This is a new addition that I use to sanitize my fabric doll with a gentle steam. I recommend getting a steamer with a "delicate" setting like the one shown. It's an investment but my steamer also helps with ironing out new clothes I get for him and also gets rid of that "factory" odor that comes with newly bought clothes.

Exploring Soft Male and Bishounen Dolls Options / My Thoughts on Male Dolls

Preface

In this post, I will discuss male dolls I found to be very beautiful and worthy of mentioning for those looking for soft male options. I have also opted to sprinkle some fantasy options even if more muscular!

Male dolls are an enigma within the doll industry and it seems nobody can get it right because there's so many OPINIONS about what they should look like. But doll manufacturers HAVE received criticism for taking NO good opinions because they keep making awkward male dolls with ridiculous weight to boot, making them unsuitable not only for most women but also cumbersome for men. Weight reduction of these dolls is a sought after feature.

Unlike most women, I prefer effeminate men and twinks, so I'm an outlier in what would be "popular" in regards to male dolls. I'm afraid I can't really offer good feedback to the manufacturers due to my preference either. Most male dolls are made to be muscular and I think that is what other women would prefer. I don't really personally know other doll owners that are women but from reading forums, they tend to own muscular dolls. It's not that I don't like muscular men because I'm also into some Bara but it's just that every muscular male doll I've seen is very ugly, with the exception of 1-2 of the Irontech models, few outliers in other brands or modified dolls.

Starting off the post, in my opinion, the BEST standard male doll I have ever seen is the Real Love Sex Dolls Half Body Lakota.
He is gorgeous to me (I LOVE HIS BOOBIES) and I only can't buy him because there is no way in hell I can move him at 110lbs/50kg! However, I will say I AM VERY TEMPTED despite knowing I can't handle this doll's weight! Even though this is a post for soft males, if you're into Bara at all and can move him, highly recommend checking out Lakota and the Customizable Version that allows you to choose skintone, etc.

The company has mentioned that they are working on giving him more head options but me being 100% real, it's good to have a doll that has such an amazing body that isn't another white or asian guy. As someone with dark skin, I really love and appreciate Lakota! I would love to see an ebony head option for him though the fact that he can already come in actual black skin and not just "tan" makes him the MVP.

Wolf_41__82822.jpg
Wolf_8__58072.jpg

Traditional male dolls are very much a total miss for me personally, mostly because the manufacturers tend to focus on making female dolls, thus the end result of their male dolls come with very unnatural faces sporting weird geometry and meth addict cheek bones. The heads tend to be a Frankenstein mix of male and female and look more like Drag Kings with drawn on facial hair than actual males. The chests also have the nipples too centered, reminiscent of female dolls' breasts.

The Lakota doll mentioned above has actual anatomically correct male nipples, as they are not centered on his buff chest. (This is why he's the best, yes yes.)

If manufacturers ever get a hold of this post, male dolls ARE WANTED but the ones available just SUCK, are ugly, and heavy (keep in mind women are not going to have a good time with an 80lbs/36kg doll!), so of course they will not sell as much as the female dolls.

There will even be some good examples of this unfortunate reality in this post of male dolls with amazing bodies but weird heads.

However, there are some gems!

Worth mentioning is that even non-anime heads can be given custom make-up to appear more fantasy-like. This is what I was ultimately forced to do with my doll and the results are pretty great.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

It gets more tricky to mix and match head and bodies between manufacturers if you choose a dark skin tone. Dark skin tones can vary the most per batch of dolls made.

Please note that you should ask the manufacturers or vendors if the specific head you are wanting to use is unlikely to react negatively (chemical reaction) with the body of another manufacturer. Every manufacturer has their own formula of the materials they use. There is also the chance of skin tone mismatching with the body you use. The safest option is a fabric doll head with an M16 connection.

If mixing body and heads from different brands, make sure your head and body of choice are compatible in the type of connection they use to attach to each other. Most dolls are an M16 connection but when it doubt, always ask the manufacturer or vendor.


︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Every category is organized in alphabetical order without a bias in position. (Unless I make mistake with the alphabet!)

Pictures are all clickable to view their full size.
Please also note that in order to keep the blog more accessible, I will try to stay away from nude pictures but all manufacturers and vendors will provide you with such pictures by default or upon request.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

When buying a TPE doll, ask the manufacturer or vendor for a block of TPE of the same material batch your doll was made from or at the very least, the same skin color.

This is a life saver if your doll suffers damage, as you may be able to repair it yourself. Trust me, I wish I had known about this when I bought my doll. My doll did come with a TPE block but in the entirely wrong skin tone, so it could not be used for the repairs I needed.
If you had already bought a doll, it is possible to get TPE blocks by asking vendors about them.

※ Some options included may not be strictly sex and love dolls (such as custom anime head makers) but worth mentions due to the excellence of their products.

This entire post will just be me shilling out Qita dolls even though I don't own one. They have the BEST soft male dolls I have ever seen on the market. This is it. They captured lightning in a bottle and did the impossible, which is to make male doll with a cute face that still looks masculine and a soft body. The other manufacturers just don't get it at all.

As of the publishing of this post, you are unlikely to find a soft male dolls with unique faces unless it's a Qita. The faces of every other option I will list below in the Everything Else section pretty much kills it for me personally, but you can like the body and replace the head which is why I will still include them. Qita also offers a modest amount of head options. My only gripe is that some of their dolls, in particular the gorgeous 130cm model that is more lightweight, do not come in dark tan skin tone.

DHDoll specializes in all types of male dolls and all their soft male dolls are very pleasant. As a male doll enjoyer, I appreciate them a lot for focusing on male dolls. There are no over the top options here in my opinion but this isn't a bad thing, as some prefer more normal looking men and less fantasy. This is actually what sets them apart from Qita dolls and variety that also happens to look good is always a plus in an already small section of the love doll industry.

Even their more buff men are very well done! They have very soft body options and the dicks can look a bit intimidating but most male dolls have comically exaggerated dicks.

These gorgeous handmade male dolls are made by a maker in Japan who calls themselves ひよぬい (Hiyokogumi). Specializing in bishounen, shota, and otokonoko dolls! (Basically everything I LOVE) They state that they can be contacted on their Twitter for questions and the representative speaks English and can ship internationally! No middleman is required.

The pre-made dolls are posted for sale on their Twitter account and Yahoo!Japan auctions. You can contact them if you wish to purchase it. Hiyokogumi takes payment via Wise or Paypal if necessary. In the future, they may open an Etsy account.

They can make 75cm, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120, 130cm boy dolls and do take custom orders depending on the request. You need to contact them to discuss details. Please have picture references of what you are looking for and Hiyokogumi cannot do replicas of copyrighted characters. Your own original characters or idea are ok to inquire about.

For months, I was wondering where these dolls came from and I recently found out it is them who are hand making them. Twitter has a lot of happy customers posting dolls that were made by Hiyokogumi. These are daki (hugging) dolls that are very soft and lightweight. Perfect as companions and for cuddling.They are also 100% male, meaning they have appropriate parts. As of this time, I have not found anyone other than them willing to make actual male fabric dolls that look cute.

The Hiyokogumi account has a pinned tweet with their current series of products. These are translations of the current series along with additional information given to me by their representative:

  • 抱きぬい男子 (Hugging Boy) Series: Fabric male dolls made between 80 and 170cm. Some adjusting is required to pose them and some of the dolls can come with skeletons. Inquire if they are offering dolls with toy skeletons currently (they state this is only available sometimes) otherwise, there are no joints, so they cannot stand on their own but changing clothes is easy and commercially available clothes can be worn.

  • ぽたぬい (Potanui) Series: Small 30cm dolls with a skeleton that you can pose.The dolls are androgynous.

I highly recommend checking Hiyokogumi out! I now own a custom doll by them and I'm so happy with him!

Everything Else


AF Doll

※ I didn't find their site

Capture_20230127191434ffc.jpg

This brand has a few male dolls available, although most are "muscular". I put in quotations because the muscular chests still have those weirdly female nipple positioned too far into the center.
I couldn't even find a picture of the doll above anywhere else but on My Robot Doll (Here is the link), so I had to borrow the picture. He has a very cute body but the face is just unfortunate to me. The face looks way too much like generic female doll that a child would play with and it makes me dry looking at it. Definitely not for me. It may be salvageable if you are creative and can do magic with makeup.

Aibei

This doll has a VERY NICE PAIR OF BOOBIES, though I would have preferred the nipples off to the side a tiny bit more like usual but honestly, still amazing. However, my gay bestie and I agree that the face is off-putting. I think better makeup can fix him a bit. The body is very unique and lovely, with a soft butt too! He also has a really nice slim physique. It's almost a bit unfair to put him down here but I can't overlook the face. Another similar doll is available by the company but I do not like the face on the other at all.

Rifrano Doll (RF Doll)

※ I didn't find their site

lifanou-male-sex-doll-76.jpg
lifanou-male-sex-doll-78.jpg
lifanou-male-sex-doll-53.jpg
lifanou-male-sex-doll-51.jpg

I will give it to them that their male dolls are very unique. Clearly not going for anything copycat here. I think the faces of these two dolls are so lovely and as pleasant to look at as the Qita dolls.

The grey haired one is almost completely fine, though he's certainly buff and the centered nipples syndrome strikes here again a bit. He just has a very cartoony looking ballsack that is a bit awkward looking to me. Nude pictures are available on this site for now. (Note: I know nothing about this vendor and I'm just linking them for pictures because My Robot Doll doesn't carry him but they do carry the other doll pictured, so it's possible they can get him for you.)
I still really like him though and he makes a great fantasy doll. I would even consider buying him!

Then there is the second doll which I have dubbed "the shota gone wrong". The face is so adorable but the body DOES NOT fit the face at all. That is the general consensus on what I have seen others think of this doll. The body just needed to be smooth. The penis is also one of the worsts I have ever seen. It is hilariously big and appears thicker than his ARM and plastic looking. Nude pictures available at My Robot Doll. I will probably even consider throwing this doll into my shota section just for the head.

10/10 faces with annoying caveats.

WM Doll

※ This doll is not pictured on their English site for some reason, so here is the My Robot Doll listing.

Capture_20230127212211667.jpg
Sexpuppe-Raphael-160-78-020.jpg

Despite the buff torso, this doll using the WM Head #78 is really gorgeous and dreamy! The proportions on him are not all that intimidating despite the shredded abs. He has a real bishounen vibe to him. He does seem to come with some pretty nails that look like he has a manicure but nails are easily changeable on dolls.
Almost all available pictures of this guy are nude, so you should check the listing for non-crop versions.

Anything Else? More Anime Options?


This is a new option I found out about recently. You can use a fabric doll head on a male body!
Fabric doll heads are extremely customizable and safe to use on both TPE and silicone bodies. My Robot Doll has a lot of examples of this on their website, so I suggest a visit. But keep in mind that these cloth doll manufacturers only offer female bodies, so you still need your own male body to use with the head. Make sure the head you choose is compatible with the bolt connection of your body of choice.

The Loli Master Post also has more fabric doll manufacturers in the main section.

My-Robot-Doll-Fabric-Doll-Custom-Makeup-Anime-Characters.jpg

Aside from attempting to create a pseudo anime head like I had to do with my own doll using a more realistic head, the other option is at your own risk.

It involves using heads from brands that only make female dolls. I have already warned you about the risk of that in the Preface, regarding material reactions.

For the many anime head options, I will redirect you to the Loli Anime Dolls Master Post.

The Aotume heads will probably be your easiest and best option. Make sure your head will fit your body's connection bolt. Most dolls use an M16 connection but always make sure.

Vendors


I will mark reputable vendors that are well known within circles I frequent. If a vendor is not marked as reputable, it doesn't mean they're aren't. I just have not heard much about them, are too new, or don't have reviews available. The blog aims to be completely transparent about every aspect of dolls. If you believe a vendor is reputable or isn't, please leave a comment with your experience with them.

※ Even if a vendor is located in China or Europe, they will still ship to Western countries. It is just the location of their business and big warehouse. Many vendors have warehouses in different countries to ship their customers' dolls there, which then get transferred to that country's local postal system or a specialized delivery service. Vendors can also use services such as DHL and Fedex.

※ TDC does sell some male dolls and you can ask them about dolls in this section if you're interested.

A pure American business that is the only one as of the launch of this blog offering small dolls within the USA. This is the store I personally use and endorse since I got my doll. I know the most about them since I have many personal experiences and I have nothing but honest and great things to say.

They have a warehouse with in-stock dolls that do not take as long to arrive to you, as opposed as if they were bought from an overseas vendor. The shop offers an inspection service if you buy a doll that isn't in stock. So you are covered against doll defects or shipping damage.

Ricky, the owner, has provided many easy to digest resources for the doll community such as maintenance videos and general info on the shop's YouTube channel. Some of the videos have to be censored for YT, so you should check out his site for the uncensored versions if interested. He does weekly streams and doll reviews, as well.

Their customer service is also fantastic and you can e-mail them with any inquiry, even regarding helping you get a doll that they may not carry. I have always gotten a fast response and there are also helpers in case Ricky is busy. I can say that TDC offers that excellent customer service that can be overlooked by more mainstream businesses.

The doll community that has been built by this store is very welcoming and helpful. Most of my doll knowledge has come from it and it was priceless resource when I received my first doll. You can join the community via their forum or after buying a product, you can join the Discord. There is no issue if you are buying a small doll, unlike other communities.

If you are an American, I encourage you to support your local businesses! The services offered by TDC are priceless to me because they are so close to home, so there is that extra sense of security to deal within the country, the faster shipping, and they are able to navigate the foreign doll market for you, too.

Shota Anime Dolls Master Post

Preface

While the loli doll market is overly saturated, the shota doll one is bare bones with a few bodies available as of the making of this post. This may or may not be a good thing for you.

On the plus side, we shota enjoyers have such limited options that you won't have to think too hard about your choice. On the negative side, there is no variety at all or a good amount of options with TPE or silicone anime heads.

I have added a new section of interest further down about widening your options with an anime fabric doll head.

It won't be a definitive list of everything available, as there are also many indie doll makers from Japan and China that are a bit more tricky to buy from if you are a Westerner. Overall, the post should serve as a strong foundation.

For this section, unlike the loli one, you are going to have to mainly look at more realistic dolls. You have been warned and it can't be avoided, honestly.
Worth mentioning is that even non-anime heads can be given custom make-up to appear more fantasy-like. This is what I was ultimately forced to do with my doll and the results are pretty great.

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

It gets more tricky to mix and match between manufacturers if you choose a dark skin tone, whoever. Dark skin tones can vary the most per batch of dolls made.

Please note that you should ask the manufacturers or vendors if the specific head you are wanting to use is unlikely to react negatively (chemical reaction) with the body of another manufacturer. Every manufacturer has their own formula of the materials they use. There is also the chance of skin tone mismatching with the body you use. The safest option is a fabric doll head with an M16 connection.

If mixing body and heads from different brands, make sure your head and body of choice are compatible in the type of connection they use to attach to each other. Most dolls are an M16 connection but when it doubt, always ask the manufacturer or vendor.


︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

Everything is organized in alphabetical order without a bias in position. (Unless I make mistake with the alphabet!)

Pictures are all clickable to view their full size.
Please also note that in order to keep the blog more accessible, I will try to stay away from nude pictures but all manufacturers and vendors will provide you with such pictures by default or upon request.


︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

When buying a TPE doll, ask the manufacturer or vendor for a block of TPE of the same material batch your doll was made from or at the very least, the same skin color.

This is a life saver if your doll suffers damage, as you may be able to repair it yourself. Trust me, I wish I had known about this when I bought my doll. My doll did come with a TPE block but in the entirely wrong skin tone, so it could not be used for the repairs I needed.
If you had already bought a doll, it is possible to get TPE blocks by asking vendors about them.

One of the most popular small doll manufacturers, Catdoll has offered some anime-like options in the past for their female dolls but in 2022, they launched their own line of specialized anime heads. They were made for their 101cm and 102cm female bodies, which are small chested. I have e-mailed Kitty (the owner) before to ask if their anime heads can be used with their bigger bodies and I quote:

"These heads designed for the 101cm and 102cm body. It will be less cute If you fix it on the 133cm body." - In regards to me asking if I could use these heads on my 133cm male doll, also made by them.

I have seen them post a custom shota head on their Twitter account before, so it's probable it was going to be use with their 115cm male body. Their anime heads are unique because they have lips and their mouths open. This feature sets them apart from Aotume dolls and it offers a brand new type of anime head in the market that is easily accessible. They also have an alternate version of the anime head model with drawn on lips if you prefer that one.

Catdoll currently offers a male 115cm and 133cm body.

Cooby Doll offers a range of innovative dolls, starting with their 130cm elf Leo and 150cm Lucas male dolls with silicone heads. These are the first smaller male dolls to feature various detachable penis options as well as body hair options. The 150cm Leo also offers a silicone body option! These are very welcomed additions to the scarce male doll market.

Other Options

Well, the above dolls are basically it as far as easy to buy options I currently know of.
It is lackluster compared to the loli post but what is available is of good quality. There is just a painful lack of true anime options.

There are fabric male dolls and I have seen them posted by a doll owner I follow on Twitter but I have no clue yet where the person gets theirs from.
They are also more mature looking and have big cloth appendages to seal the deal that they are males! I am currently looking into commissioning a fabric small male doll myself, so I will report back on the blog if I am successful or if I'm ultimately forced to buy a female fabric doll and modify her. It would then be time to learn how to sew!

This is a new option I found out about recently. You can use a fabric doll head on a male body!
