Inside the 2025 Guangzhou Adult Expo – China’s Top Doll Makers

From 31 October to 2 November 2025, the Guangzhou Adult Product Expo (CGAPE) once again gathered the top creators of adult collectibles under one roof. Many of our verified partner brands such as FunwestDoll, SEDOLL, Jiusheng, WM with Dolls Castle, Jinsang, and Climax Doll unveiled their newest engineering updates and body designs.

As always, Formosa Doll followed the event closely through on-site reports and photos directly from the factory teams, ensuring our readers see what’s next before anyone else.

Why the Guangzhou Adult Expo Matters to Collectors

Each year, the Guangzhou Adult Product Expo (CGAPE) serves as both a reflection of how far the industry has come and a glimpse of what’s next. It’s where the last year’s innovations are brought together under one roof.

For collectors, it’s the moment when ideas turn tangible. Designs refined in workshops over months finally meet the public, and prototypes hint at the next wave of innovation that will define the year ahead.

For us at Formosa Doll, the Expo is also a checkpoint. It's a chance to reconnect with all our partner factories at once, and identify which technologies are ready to bring from the exhibition floor to our verified catalogue.

At Formosa Doll, these direct interactions are essential. They allow us to ensure that what reaches our collectors is authentic, inspected, and true to its promise.

Verified Highlights from China’s Leading Doll Makers

From lifelike silicone and STPE artistry to new lightweight technologies, every booth had something that pushed the boundaries of realism and comfort. Here’s what stood out from the brands you already know and trust.

FunwestDoll – Setting the Standard at Guangzhou Adult Expo 2025

Among all our verified brands at this year’s CGAPE, FunwestDoll booth became a exhibition focus for cosplay collectors, video game fans and industry insiders alike, showcasing both engineering upgrades and artistic refinements that signal where high-end TPE and silicone design is heading next.

FWD048 Vi & FWD045 Jinx – STPE Head Series #029 & #030

FunwestDoll introduced the latest generation of STPE material, an evolution blending silicone-like realism with TPE flexibility. The new heads (#029 and #030) captivated visitors with their fine skin grain and lifelike softness.

STPE Advantages:

  • Superior Softness: Feels remarkably close to real skin, giving every touch a natural, lifelike yield.

  • Low Oil Release: Keeps maintenance effortless and long-term freshness intact.

  • Tear Resistance: Withstands regular posing and use, ensuring exceptional durability.

Hand-Sculpted TPE Realism

Each TPE head shown was originally sculpted from clay by master artists before digital refinement. This allows for pores, freckles, and capillaries to be recreated with precision.

Layered makeup (five or more coats) gives every face a subtle warmth and unique expression, blurring the line between TPE and silicone realism.

FSD022 Rose & FSD035 Lyra – FunwestDoll’s Silicone Bestsellers

Two of FunwestDoll’s bestselling silicone models, Rose 157 cm and Lyra 159 cm, drew consistent attention throughout the Expo. Both embody the brand’s evolving Real Skin Texture concept, a finish that replicates the subtle details of human skin with vein patterns and micro-textures that shift softly under light. The result is a body surface that feels alive, not static, a staple of FunwestDoll’s premium craftsmanship.

Innovations Presented:

  • Wired Toes: Natural posing and lifelike barefoot realism.

  • Gel Butt: Enhanced suppleness and natural rebound.

  • Gel Breasts: Authentic movement and softness.

  • Hard Hands: Reinforced design prevents finger punctures.

  • 3-in-1 Expressive Head: Movable eyelids, soft cheeks, and ROS oral detailing.

The 159A Silicone Body – Refinement Through Feedback

The 159A body evolution embodies years of user input and engineering precision. It retains the loved proportions of its TPE predecessor while elevating tactile comfort through skin-safe silicone. The shape feels balanced, sculpted to fit naturally in the hand, and delivers a quiet but distinct sense of quality.

Formosa Doll Insight: Why It Matters

FunwestDoll’s direction this year confirms a clear trend: bridging tactile innovation with aesthetic artistry. Their STPE material closes the gap between silicone and TPE; their new silicone line pushes surface realism to collector-grade detail.

Jiusheng – Lolita Aesthetics Meet Silicone Precision

At this year’s Guangzhou Adult Expo, Jiusheng embraced a Lolita-inspired theme that drew attention for its soft charm and meticulous detail. The booth presented a complete lineup of full silicone dolls, each defined by an exceptionally smooth touch, finely sculpted heads, and delicate realism. The overall effect balanced cuteness with craftsmanship, reflecting Jiusheng’s steady evolution toward refined, tactile design.

149B Body with Runa ROS Head

The centrepiece of the display was the 149B silicone body, paired with the Runa ROS head. Collectors noted its lifelike skin texture and balanced proportions, complemented by new engineering updates:

  • Free Toe Bone Option: Now available for the 149B and 150B bodies, adding realistic flexibility for natural barefoot poses.

  • Full Silicone Build: No foam core, providing consistent density and flexibility throughout.

  • Loose-Joint Skeleton: Enables fluid posing for photography and display, though it adds roughly 5 kg to the overall weight.

Lightweight T4 Body (160E Torso)

Jiusheng also unveiled the new T4 body, a 160E-proportioned torso engineered for lightweight realism. Weighing only 22 kg, it strikes a rare balance between tactile density and manageability, making it ideal for collectors seeking a full-silicone experience without the usual bulk.

Mia ROS Head – A Subtle Evolution

The final highlight was the Mia head (ROS version), an advanced reinterpretation of Jiusheng’s earlier Real Oral Structure design. The new sculpt introduces softer facial transitions and more natural proportions, while the internal cavity has been re-engineered for anatomical realism. The model is still awaiting its official photo release, but the Expo preview confirmed a significant step forward in lifelike detailing.

Formosa Doll Insight: A Quiet Leap in Refinement

This year’s Jiusheng showcase reflects a clear philosophy, incremental perfection rather than radical change. By refining core models like the 149B and focusing on tactile accuracy, the brand continues to position itself as one of the most consistent silicone producers in the mid-to-premium range.

Climax Doll – Fantasy Design Meets Smart Engineering

At the 2025 Guangzhou Adult Expo, Climax Doll (CLM) turned heads with one clear focus: weight reduction without losing realism. Known for its bold fantasy line-ups and vibrant silicone artistry, the brand presented a range that blended innovation with its signature imaginative touch.

The booth itself became a visual showcase, a panoramic display of both new releases and iconic favourites from the CLM family.

Super Lightweight Silicone Torsos

This year’s main highlight was the introduction of super lightweight torsos with integrated heads, an innovation aimed at improving usability while maintaining visual fullness. These new models drastically reduce carrying weight, making storage and handling easier for collectors without compromising tactile density or sculpted detail.

Featured Models at the Booth

The CLM booth combined fantasy, anime, and realistic sculpting, a reflection of how the brand continues to bridge genres while refining engineering. Among the featured models:

Formosa Doll Insight: Lightness with Character

Where many brands chase either realism or novelty, Climax Doll continues to merge both. Their new lightweight designs prove that fantasy expression and functional innovation can coexist, offering collectors more accessible pieces that remain faithful to CLM’s bold creative DNA.

WM Dolls – Intelligent Motion and Lighter Builds

Among the largest and most anticipated booths at the 2025 Guangzhou Adult Expo, WM Dolls presented its latest advances in robotics, silicone engineering, and artistic design. This year’s showcase confirmed WM’s ongoing leadership in innovation, a balance of realism, interactivity, and reduced weight across both male and female lines.

Intelligent Robotic Series – The Future in Motion

The most striking display was their  intelligent robot line, featuring dolls capable of moving their limbs, head, and neck through an integrated internal motor system. Representing a major step toward interactive companionship.

WM’s R&D team confirmed that future versions will expand mobility even further with the potential to walk and dance autonomously. The prototype series on display gave visitors a preview of that next stage in AI-assisted realism.

Ultra-Lightweight Silicone Male & Female Dolls

WM also unveiled a new ultra-weight-reduced silicone male doll, weighing only 28 kg, setting a new benchmark in material efficiency. Despite the lower weight, the body retained the lifelike density and tactile response expected from premium silicone builds.

The female lineup shared the same focus, with each model featuring WM’s latest weight-reduction silicone formula which is lighter to lift, easier to pose, and more durable for long-term use.

AI Expression Head – Realistic Emotions in Motion

A highlight for many visitors was WM’s AI expression head, featuring movable facial components that allow natural emotional responses. This system integrates subtle micro-movements around the eyes and mouth, creating authentic reactions such as smiles and blinks. It represents WM’s next frontier, where robotics meets realism.

Anime-Inspired Silicone Dolls

In addition to the robotic and realistic ranges, WM introduced a line of anime-inspired silicone dolls, all originally designed in-house. These designs were developed collaboratively under the WM, GT, and JS brands, showcasing the already known playful side of the group’s artistry embodied from their extravagant brand Dolls Castle while maintaining the precision finish the brands are known for.

Formosa Doll Insight: From Engineering to Emotion

WM’s presence at this year’s Expo demonstrated how the brand continues to lead through both technical refinement and imagination. Their combination of robotics, lightweight materials, and stylised art confirms a long-term vision where movement, realism, and creative design evolve together.

SEDOLL – Innovation with Soul and Precision

SEDOLL arrived in Guangzhou with a refined presentation that captured both artistry and innovation. Their booth featured a selection of bestselling silicone and STPE models, alongside new developments in AI, realism, and tactile refinement, reaffirming the brand’s growing influence among international collectors.

Elf Silicone Series – Aryana and the Art of Lifelike Fantasy

A clear highlight was Elf Aryana.A, shown in the 161 cm Silicone Pro format, one of SEDOLL’s most recognised creations. With its delicate ears, realistic body proportions, and luminous silicone skin, Aryana once again proved why the Elf Series has become a signature line for the brand. The fine surface detailing and soft, cool touch showcased SEDOLL’s mastery of silicone casting and finishing.

Silicone Pro Series – Refining Realism

Among the new generation of Silicone Pro models, Regina F. (165 cm) stood out for its balance of classic beauty and structural refinement. Following the success of Annika.A, the Silicone Pro line continues to represent the top tier of SEDOLL’s craftsmanship, combining multi-layered makeup, realistic body painting, and high-density silicone textures for a soft yet durable finish.

STPE Series – A Bridge Between Worlds

SEDOLL’s STPE material made another strong impression this year. Exhibiting through models like Queena.F, the brand demonstrated how this hybrid blend successfully merges silicone’s realism with TPE’s flexibility. It offers softer compression, lower oil release, and increased resistance to tearing, giving users a longer-lasting and easier-to-maintain experience.

Lightweight Silicone SE Torso Series – ST2 & ST3 Verified by Formosa Doll

Another show highlight of the Guangzhou booth was SEDOLL’s lightweight premium silicone SE torso line, featuring the ST2 and ST3 series. These compact yet highly realistic torsos mark a turning point in silicone engineering, reducing overall weight while keeping the luxurious feel and skin fidelity of full-body models.

We at Formosa Doll were the first to verify, test, and unbox this new series directly from SEDOLL’s factory, confirming its craftsmanship and consistency across all three body shapes and six matching heads.

At the Expo, visitors could experience ST3 Isla Kane (F Cup) and ST2 Nadia (Busty Ultra Soft) in person, both embodying the brand’s drive toward realism and usability.

Verified Insights – Trends from the Expo Floor

Factories are investing not only in realism but in how that realism feels and functions day to day. The move toward lighter skeletons and silicone blends was clear: FunwestDoll’s STPE material, Jiusheng’s flexible full-silicone bodies, SEDOLL’s new SE torso line, and WM’s ultra-weight-reduced builds all pointed in the same direction: Easier handling without losing realistic look or lifelike touch.

We also saw greater emphasis on durability and hybrid engineering, from hard-hand protection to internal joint upgrades designed for stability over time. Meanwhile, AI and robotic integration continue to mature, shifting from early prototypes to usable features that enhance connection and realism.

Visually, the landscape is broadening. Cosplay-inspired designs, curvier silhouettes, and smaller lightweight formats are capturing new audiences while staying grounded in artisan craftsmanship
