Take you to spy on the past life of the "real dolls", the history of the industry that you do not know

Previous life - "Inflatable doll"

Lift the real dolls, have to say its predecessor - inflatable doll. The origin of inflatable dolls varies, the current more mainstream argument is born with World War II (1939), to know that most of the war is men's thing, and such a group of young and strong men can not hold on to themselves, for this reason, the German Fuehler ordered the development of dolls with female physiological structure, on the one hand is to solve the needs of soldiers, The other is to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

Similar dolls have been sold in Germany since the 1950s, but it was Japan that really commercialized them. The main material of the original doll is vinyl and rubber, the body skin is relatively hard plastic skin, the overall shape is round and rough, can only roughly simulate the structure of the human body. It is necessary to pump before use, and it is easy to crack and leak after repeated use, and the image is also difficult to explain (as shown below), which requires the user to have a strong imagination. In addition, the made material contains a large number of carcinogenic compounds, such as vinyl chloride, etc., which is basically abandoned on the market at present.

In the late 1980s, latex dolls began to appear on the market, more realistic hands and feet, eyes and slightly textured hair, although the touch and shape are still not so unreal, but at least a little human, and there is no need to worry about air leakage. By the early 1990s, there were modular dolls, limbs and torsos molded in a way that gave them a certain ability to pose, but just like the models in the clothing store, the torsos were unable to bend.

This life -- "physical doll"

In the late 1990s, benefiting from the development of medical materials and the progress of production processes, and the rising market space, more realistic real dolls began to enter the market. Enterprises began to use medical software silicone and PVC materials, and then to the later medical TPE material, in order to more truly restore the physical doll, but also the use of real hair transplants, parts of the mold and other ways, the size of the doll and the general size of the real person, whether from the intuitive feeling or the body touch, "they" are closer to the real person, more able to show the beauty of the human body. At the same time, the built-in metal skeleton makes the physical doll joints more flexible, can put a lot of actions and postures, the split structure also makes cleaning more convenient, and its function is not only limited to the application of inflatable dolls in adult products, but also extends to the field of full-size doll props, camera models and Cosplay.

At present, the main sales market and manufacturers of real dolls on the market are mainly concentrated in Japan and Europe and the United States and other regions, China's physical doll industry since the last century to do foreign doll enterprises foundry-based, in the foreign doll OEM, began to develop and produce their own dolls. Into the 21st century, the emergence of DS, WM and other domestic brands of real dolls, after experiencing the original cottage, imitation, many physical doll manufacturers increased research and development efforts, the skin material, body proportion of new structural modeling, so that domestic real dolls more in line with the Chinese aesthetic, the subsequent development also proved that the adventure is successful.

At present, the price of silicone dolls with better workmanship is generally more than 10,000 yuan, and the high price of the brand plus many otaku men are discouraged. Since 2010, there have been more high-quality brand owners in the domestic real dolls industry, such as Chaoying, Shuibao, Lifan Ou, etc., thanks to the maturity of the international market and the development of domestic big brands, new brand owners have become increasingly perfect in the production process of the real dolls, the use of production materials has been well improved, and the price has been able to reach thousands of yuan. It is because some international brands have certain competitive advantages.
