Japanese Silicone Dolls

Somehow this picture freaks me out.

Then again, even mannequins makes me feel a bit awkward. Strange since i love collecting figs.

Wow looks like a headless women butcher shop . wondering where did Danny found this pic

that pic looks like some sort of strange music video in production

uggghhhhhhhhhhhh.... that's creepy

Yikes, why not pay a real live lady to take care of your dolphin instead of having these inducing nightmare dolls =_=

I'm interested in making figures, but not these kind thank you.

AHH!! My eyes!!!!!!!!

I can't UNSEEN @_@

They are much better looking when fully assembled....

I know what my crazy sickness induced dreams are going to be about for the next few nights.
I'm going to need more caffeine to stay awake.

hmm interesting o_o *thoughts of dressing her up in Cosplay* i wonder if they take special orders on face types? I'm afraid if i got this i would remain single forever >_>

ow shi!!
alien invasion!!!! don't look them directly to the eyes !!!

ok now that was a surprise...
Would definitely not go to that extent anytime or by any chance in the future.

The image makes me feel somewhat uncomfortable...especially the way their body is positioned...

unsure how to describe the picture.. o.o

After getting my MDD Illya this morning, i'd like to work with dollfies :)

But look at those hands! Fully detailed... Uhm, am I the only one that lold thinking of a strange traditional dance...? Of course, a bit disturbing dance.

I feel sorry for the engineer...

Yeah I also thought they were dancing to some tune XD

Man must be freaky if you're a security guard and you see the bodies in the factories move in unison during midnight. Wowee.

There is so much more I would rather do with 6 grand. I mean, really. Jeez

I don't think that business will be around long so I would rather work for a figma company.

And I just remembered that hanging style reminds me of how the roast chicken or ducks are displayed in the Chinese restaurants lol.

That-picture-is-freaking-me-out... Just very odd, like, recent electro music video odd...

This is a tough question... I would have to either work with Dollfies or Candy Girls. O.o I like the fact that they can wear cute outfits and change poses. Probably the dollfie factory, because I would certainly mistake those for decapitated people far less than Candy Girls on the conveyor belt. ^^; Though you CAN trade clothes with a Candy Girl provided you're the same size... <.<; I would definitely treat them like giant Dollfies. ^.^

I can totally relate to that guy though. Asexuality isn't something weird, it's a normal preference like any other, so I quite understand why he wouldn't want such relationships with people.

Those don't look attractive at all. I just can't see why people like to use dolls...

why did the dub voice over for tabo-san sound so ... inappropriate? = really don't like how news stories does that

i`ll stick with dolfies.

Creepy picture @_@

I'd work at a 1/1 facility but would prefer a dolfie location. Wonder how well the 1/1 employee's are paid and what the perks and benefits are like? I'd imagine that the figma employee's are paid the lowest out of the three.

the picture freaks me out big time.

well then again i've always been freaked out about them.
i've also seen a movie where one comes to live at night.

All the corpses..... hanging like pig carcusses.... It reminds me of the show I saw on channel 4 about the life size sex dolls. American ones though, not candy girls or anything...

Probably gonna be a good props for a horror movie

the attack of 1/1 dolls

If I walked into a room with 1/1 dolls lined up like that, I'd be disturbed.

It's kinda sad that there are situations like that.

But I'm sure there are reasons and I respect that.

The close ups of the doll faces in the video creeped me out.

In the end no matter how many dolls Tabo buys he will still feel alone because they aren't real and cannot communicate with him. How sad.

Stop! Hammer time...

Mass production lines, oooohh yeeaa. You said no snide remarks but not sure if this counts, his dubbed voice makes him sound so sinister.
Their detail is pretty good for 1/1, if imported one here to Australia.. I'd probably be considered a nut. But phew $170k USD over a decade i'd be happy with just one I guess. I saw a similar documentary on SBS once whey talked about sexual habits in Japan or something, included these love dolls, twas' interesting.

@_@ OMG... Headless artificial chicks...
but being in such headless states would make 'em good mannequins though...

Creepy picture. If they start moving on their own, I'm outa there!

Makes me think bondage... and that article about knots ermmm shibari? kinbaku? well there's an article on that in Kanojo Toys. Makes me feel bad that many people were scared about the first picture, relating it with horror movies and stuff. Damn I'm so freaky =P~

Definitely not my thing. o_O

@_@ Those dolls are creepy. I wouldn't mind seeing a room filled with Candy Girls though, since they're much more visually appealing xD.

Reminds me of a horror movie...when i saw it...

...Figma please ^_^

i wan nendoroid~ too bad nendoroid company is not in the list~

One dollfie in my room will be Ok, but not as much as the guy in the vid, it will make me feel freaky

they're scary :S

I konw making a doll requires expertise and hard work... well, I guess that why consumers don't buy them in bulk?

I prefer real over silcone. That said, I still don't have a girlfriend :(

Yeah, a lot of us are creeping out over this. Oddly, it's currently accepted as state of the art. Lets look backwards some forty years ago. A guy with a collection of female dolls would instantly be branded as a raving queen in the US. Another guy with an inflatable love doll in a closet is labled as a sex pervert. Now they're Otaku collectors. In another forty years, all these dolls and figures will be inexpensive robotics, seeking you out for companionship. I use the excuse that I can't affort a lot of the female figurines I see. But since I'm in my early fifties, subconsciously I still carry a fear that I'll be labled as a creep. You "youngsters" are going to have to learn to deal with the idea that a beautiful woman will be standing on the corner, only to discover that she's a machine. Especially in the Asian countries. This is another reason the Japanese population is declining.

Wow, that picture is hilariously disturbing. XD 1/3 scale's as big as I'd like to go, though.

Working for Volks making Dollfies sounds epically awesome! I would love to do head sculpts and/or wig design personally.

No matter how I look at it...dolls still freak me out. heheh

I'm sticking to figures/figmas/nendoroids thank you very much. ^^

Thats a little over 7,000 bucks not including shipping and handling. I would want it shipped disguised for sure and wouldn't want no one to know I had it but now getting one would be ok. Wonder what the carrying case would be like, you know, Dollfies get a tiny coffin or violin case gotta take her to pose in the park you know dressed up in cosplay.

For the most part so many marriages are so screwed up the woman refuses sex here all the time for long periods and costs to much to get a divorce, but also, have to keep her away from it as read last week one packed the 'doll' with broken glass.

There are plenty of reasons to have one, but, other than photo shoots at the park, wouldn't want any one to know I had one. I'd rather have one that looked like the Life Sized PaperMoon - Saber or Rin from Fate Stay Night or any other good Anime since that would make me feel a little better IF I had one sitting in the corner while not being used. Bet it wouldn't survive a week... ;D

Kind of terrible when you walk in this factory in midnight....
1:1 is not hobby anymore, is a "need"

More specifically, somewhere at the end of production. Overall quality control for example.
Does 1:1 size include loli size?
They could make a movie about this kind of job. Something like okuribito departures but different :) I foresee a great demand in those products.

Hopefully the workers don't personally "test run" these dolls for quality assurance before being sold off to customers.

That's disturbing o_O
Give me some moe figures and i'll be happy

i would like to work on 1:1 scale anime robots made of silicone. Not lifeless things like these.

This is way too much for me, man ~ Seriously
I'll definitely work in a Figma Factory instead of Sex Dolls factory.

looks like Naruto's shadow clone jitsu + Sexy Jitsu gone horribly, horribly wrong. I would love to work in a figma factory being surrounded by couple of hundred naked dolls in one of those factories would creep me out.

I would only want to work there if I made a decent amount of money. It's kind of a creepy place to work. It would be kind of weird saying "I make sex dolls for a living. You?"

Thats so scary put many of candy girls at home.

Cool they have ones with anime style eyes. I wonder how they feel and do they make men size dolls as well. Or is it just females one.

"eye painting"? and do manicure/pedicure for the bodies? ^^;

X_X so creepy....

errr... i think these are for the lonely people only... would only get a candy girl so i can use the carpool lanes on the freeways.

kinda creepy, if the picture showed only the heads that would have been even worse

Have to say I'd work in the Figma factory so a bunch more series could wind up as figmas ^^ Also interesting pose all those mannequins have ^^;

Ok, I am officially creeped out by the guy with a hundred of those things in his house o_0. The first picture really creeps me out but seeing how I hate dolls and marinettes, it doesn't really surpise me. I like figures but not dolls. As for the question, I would work at the Figma factory.

no need something like that maybe just get married !!

Reminds me of post-cyberpunk science fiction or most any Phillip Dick story.

WHAT!? LIKE HELL I WONT MAKE ANY SNIDE REMARKS! This is disturbing to say the least! Ya know, these dolls might be better than some sort of cheap blow up doll, but this is just unhealthy! I can understand feeling lonely but this is like separating yourself from reality! I don't know what else to say other than this is completely infuriating. I mean such a life style should be a last resort for dirty old men who can't get any anyway!

It comes as no surprise that people don't want to work at a candy girl factory if they can work on one of the two others. You have to use way more force to clean a machine for jammed products when things go wrong. Imagine 20 candygirl torsos being pushed together so they jam ^^

Personally I wouldn't work at any of those places though.

Working at a factory. I heard that after the 1989 "event" in Russia the factories lacked money to pay their workers. In order not to stop they just gave them some of the produced goods. This went ok a lot of places but one factory ran into problems. They made "fake dolphins". For some reason the workers didn't want to cancel their payment and get a pile of fake dolphins instead. Imagine some guy going home to his wife and say "I didn't get any money so I couldn't buy any food. I did get these instead so you might want to eat those instead".... not going to work ^^;

Actually these dolls can be potentially be quite helpful for some people having difficulty adjusting to social norms etc. There was quite a well made film about a guy who withdrew into his world after the death of his parents and only adjusted after getting himself a love doll and treating her like a real person. I'm sure there are real cases like that.

I would LOVE to work at a doll factory~ and Tabo-san makes me kinda sad that he doesn't trust real women.

I have just officially gouged out my eyeballs with a titanium spork......

I rather have a real girl in some of those cosplays sitting in my living room when I get home. But thats probably a a dream that will never be ><;

I hope Tabo-san has had actually experience with real women before he gave up on them.

That's just a little too creepy for my taste...

I see Silent Hill nurses. But I love the video. I think it is great that Tabo-san and other men like him can find some outlet for their love.

Ruined my morning.......
it's creepy.....

I wonder if the folks who work in these factories ever feel paranoid... like the are being watched by the dolls perhaps.

Danny..
this is scary!
what have you done to my brain!!!

ok I wanna work in the Candy Girl factory

Scary sh!t man..

The first pic reminds me of guro, but with no blood XD

Hmm... well... if you get one of these you can go on the carpool lane in the highway >.>

Creeeeeeeeeeepy...

It looks way too much like a slaughter house

Wouldn't be harmful to have one just for the fun of it.
Next thing you know they'll start implanting brains and vocal cords in it.

i heard rumors that these silicone dolls wake up, move around and dance to music at midnight. O_O

I don't see how any one could be scared to work in a 'candy girl' production factory because after all what would those things actually do to you 'if' they suddenly became alive wouldn't that be a dream come true? :D

Factory work like that if it had decent Air Conditioning might be a better choice of work right now that other options. Its really hard to open 'my' brain up to new ideas and concepts but this one would allow the making of something that could make a lot of people really happy.

One word.....creeeepy!

haha...new reader here, boy what a shock it was when i clicked on the link even with the warning, "ecchi." i had to look twice at the picture to make sure I was seeing it right.

haha its like they're mass producing female robots or something..with how 'stiff' they look

Cool a horror movie set...oh it's not! XD

i kinda understand Ta-Bo feelings. Although the dolls are not alive thus lack the quality of a living breathing woman (Emotion and feelings for example), but Ta-Bo have that quality. And i see Ta-Bo as Hiroyasu Ueda in Chobits. Because Ta-Bo has feelings so he can truly love those dolls. And i Wept (Its true... its true...)after i see his interview.

i would like one. but its kinda creepy when they stare at you like that.

I wonder if real relationship is something necessary or just something the media has been feeding us for years? Usually people are disappointed when involving emotional, time and financial investment in a real relationship, they receive just a head-ache.
