62% of you said that you'd visit the Candy Girl showroom in my previous report on Orient Industry.
The remaining 38% who secretly want to go but are too shy to admit it can have a look at the following tour of the showroom *and* the factory. NSFW & WTF folks.

Somebody also went and translated everything into English too.

Touring that place can be an experience you can gloat to your friends! 
Providing that they dont think you're a freak after that.

A tour in the factory? Wouldn't it "kill the magic"? XD
I think I wouldn't like a tour... though I'd like one of those love dolls... hmmmm.
The only problem is hiding it.

Also, it's far cheaper than I first though it was... isn't it less than 2000 USDs? Nice!

Though I still find the "anime models" kinda creepy. :P

The tour bit was quite interesting. I would want to know more about the bone structure, joints and all that.

The blanks stares those dolls have kind of creep me out though.

I want to take the tour, but then again I don't. Does that make any sense? :S

It was intriguing in a "WTF? Do they actually make money doing this?" kinda way. ;)

"how do we make a zombie look cute" Haha - excellent quote! Perhaps something lost in the translation?

My hat goes off to that guy for admitting that he 'tests' the dolls at a love hotel - made me smile too!

Id love to visit the factory - im really intrested in the production process for anything like this. Id love to see how figures are made too.

Nice video - t'was a good watch!

I have said it more than once and I'll say it again: life-like texture. ;_;
And hell yeah, I'd take a tour to one of these factories if I have the chance.

"Quality Control testing" ... at a Love Hotel... ROFL

I still don't like that stuff, but sure I would go on a tour. It would be cool...or maybe weird.. to see those dolls in person.

No, no, your theory doesn't apply to me and is not relying on logic. I am not interested at all in Candygirls, so please count me out!!

Every one should read this here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21271545/

Scientist say that by 2050, we would be merrying robot sex doll. So if Orient Industry start to put AI and moving part in their dolls, they could make much more money on days to come.
