If you're looking to buy a sex doll, choosing the right manufacturer is just as important as getting a clear view of the finished product. Factory photos are for exactly that: They show your custom-configured doll directly after production—untouched, realistic, and from multiple perspectives. This allows you to see the material (TPE or silicone), skin tone, makeup, body proportions, standing bolts, areola options, insert/fix design, and other details before shipping.

Why the manufacturer is important

Each manufacturer has its own strengths: Some focus on particularly soft, lightweight TPE skin, others on silicone with the finest detail and a durable finish. There are differences in skeletal joints, surface textures, realistic body makeup, and the variety of facial features. Those with more technological advancements offer additional features such as heat modules, soft robotics, or the foundation for sex doll AI (e.g., speech/interaction modules). In our manufacturer profiles, you'll learn how the brands differ and which models are suitable for beginners or experienced users—an important basis for choosing the right sex doll or AI doll.

Factory photos: original quality instead of studio shine

Factory images come directly from production and are proof of the authenticity of your configuration. Depending on the lighting in the factory, colors appear more sober than in campaign photos; this is precisely what makes them valuable: You can recognize proportions without retouching, see paint finishes, seams, implants, powder residue on TPE, or matte silicone areas from the finishing process. We receive these images from the manufacturer, compare them with your order, and then forward them to you. You have 72 hours from delivery to confirm or ask any questions. If there are no objections, fulfillment starts automatically, and shipping usually takes place within a week, discreetly packaged and traceable via tracking.

From configuration to release

After your order, the manufacturer will produce the doll precisely according to your specifications. This includes the head/face-up, skin tone, breast/body proportions, insert variant, standing options (if applicable), and desired makeup. The factory photos document this result. Once you approve the images, we secure approval and prepare for shipping. We review any requested changes transparently; minor adjustments are possible depending on workload and feasibility without compromising quality or safety.

And by the way: with the manufacturer Zelex, you'll always find the factory photos right next to the product photos at the end. Enjoy!
