2023 Silicone Sex Doll Showcase: Coeros's Exclusive Report at the Shanghai APIEXPO

Looking for an immersive, dynamic, and captivating APIEXPO experience? Why not start by watching our featured video.

Over 400 exhibitors have gathered at the most open and inclusive city in China, Shanghai. For the past three years since 2020, China has been living under strict pandemic control measures, with a sluggish economy and people experiencing a prolonged “sexual repression”. This 2023 Shanghai APIEXPO not only marks a release for the entire sex industry but also serves as the largest event for sex doll brands and factories in the first half of 2023, as well as a celebration for doll lovers and enthusiasts of sensual lifestyles.

As an advocate for the sex doll lifestyle, Coeros has also arrived at the expo. I was fortunate enough to interview most of the doll brands participating in the event, including Irontechdoll, CSTDoll, QitaDoll, Dollscastle, Mozudoll, and Starpery. I was thrilled to meet some incredibly beautiful, sexy, and adorable ladies. In this video, I’d like to take you on a journey to explore stunning beauties and step into the booths of each sex doll brand.

First stop: Irontech Doll Booth

Irontech presented 4 dolls on display, including the 164cm Miya, 165cm Kitty, 164cm Luna, and TPE Miki head. However, they didn’t bring a male doll this time.

Soft silicone is one of the latest technological updates for silicone dolls, enhancing their appearance and touch while making them even more enticing to use.

Despite being a soft silicone head suitable for oral sex, it still looks very realistic. I love Kitty’s outfit, which, when paired with her skin, gives off an elegant Shanghai socialite vibe.

The hard silicone head is more delicate, with individually implanted eyebrows.

Now you should understand why gel butts are the most popular option, right?

Western users may prefer this one. The outfit is fun, reminiscent of a Brazilian World Cup cheerleading squad.

Summary: Although Irontech only brought three silicone dolls, the gel butts and soft silicone materials, combined with the realistic skin texture, showcase Irontech’s leading advantage in the silicone doll industry.

Second stop: Starpery Doll Booth

This doll is a representative product of Starpery’s mature silicone dolls aka MILF dolls. The actual product is quite impressive, but I noticed the wig was a bit messy, and the black lingerie left some dye on the doll’s chest. So, remember: silicone dolls can get stained too.

At the booth, we have 5 beautiful silicone dolls wearing traditional Chinese costumes. They are all under the brand MYDoll/CYDoll, the counterpart brand of Starpery in Chinese market.

Even though we didn’t find someone at Starpery to give us detailed explanations about the dolls, we were fortunate enough to meet the boss lady of MYDoll factory. I have always thought Starpery’s head sculpts are beautiful and share some similarities in their facial features. After meeting the boss lady, I began to see where the inspiration for Starpery’s stunning head sculpts came from.

Conclusion: Starpery/MYDoll/CYDoll is the brand that best represents Chinese aesthetics and classical beauty in silicone dolls. The highlight of Starpery’s display at the expo was showcasing their most attractive dolls, recreating the outfits in their promotional images. Each doll had its own separate area, making for a fantastic exhibition.

Third stop: CSTDoll Booth

CSTDoll’s booth is the first silicone doll booth right when you enter the first floor of the exhibition hall. It is in a very prominent location, attracting a large number of visitors. We managed to find CSTDoll’s ABBY during the lunch break, and she gave us a rundown of the dolls on display at CSTDoll’s booth.

CSTDoll’s booth features a circular display, with 8 silicone dolls placed around it, each with its own unique characteristics, some of which feature CSTDoll’s latest craftsmanship. Let’s listen to ABBY’s introduction.

First, ABBY corrected a mistake I made during my review of CSTDoll’s 165 body, where I mistakenly thought there were only two finger bones. Truth is, each finger of CSTDoll has 3 finger bones. Apparently, I didn’t apply enough force. ABBY also explained that after updating their makeup, the body paint for veins and such would be more intense, visible from the back of the hand.

ABBY also tested the doll’s soft chest, mentioning that CSTDoll’s chest is by default very soft. Unlike other factories’ gel breasts, they fill theirs with a softer silicone material, making it feel as soft as gel breasts but without the sensation of squeezing fine sand.

Similarly soft is CSTDoll’s doll buttocks, which also seems to be a new upgrade, as I had previously reviewed the 165 CSTDoll.

Additionally, ABBY introduced the Tifa head sculpt updated by CSTDoll and demonstrated CSTDoll’s movable eyeballs on a very cute doll head.

Conclusion: CSTDoll is a brand that only produces full silicone dolls, with their full silicone dolls priced even below $2,000 and individual silicone heads just a little over $200, offering great value for money. CSTDoll is also gradually upgrading in terms of makeup and softness. However, I hope that CSTDoll can innovate in joint flexibility and such to make the average quality of their dolls even better and produce more head sculpts that are popular in the Western markets.

That wraps up our coverage of the three silicone doll brands at the 2023 Shanghai APIEXPO: Irontechdoll, Starpery, and CSTDoll. I hope this information is helpful to everyone, and please continue to support the Coeros channel. Three unique TPE doll factories also participated in the expo: Dollscastle, Mozudoll, and Qita.
