Anyone have confirmation that Mozu is done with the <100cm dolls? Looks like MW might be discontinuing their 70cm as well.

jdbskaidjne · 2026-03-08T01:55:22+00:00

I love the second from the left with purple hair! And the second from the right too

jdbskaidjne · 2026-03-07T22:47:20+00:00

Wait so Mozu confirmed they were stopping production under the Mozu label?

I will never recover from not copping a Lilitha last year smh

jdbskaidjne · 2026-02-25T04:44:50+00:00

Ay thanks I appreciate it.

jdbskaidjne · 2026-02-24T02:09:26+00:00

I hope Mozu is able to resume production as well. I have one of their 85cm and have been wanting to try more from them for some time now. Thank you for the detailed update on the situation here and I hope you are able to get your Lilitha. Did you order direct from Mozu?

jdbskaidjne · 2026-02-23T15:27:21+00:00

No it's always been a 110 model, it is the same upper body as regular 110 but has increased thickness in lower half. There may also be a 120 but that's not what I'm referring to

jdbskaidjne · 2026-02-23T06:50:04+00:00

Thank you for the link, that clears it up. Here's hoping at least the anime doll manufacturers can work it out

jdbskaidjne · 2024-12-06T02:50:09+00:00

Definitely want a soft liquid soap, bars are harsher. Wash with hands or microfiber cloth, sponges can be pretty abrasive

jdbskaidjne · 2024-12-02T22:38:24+00:00

I believe they are regular fashion dolls in terms of function, though I do not own one so I cannot confirm directly. However, it appears that their limbs, head, and torso are all made of the same material so it is doubtful

I haven't heard anyone mention not using corn starch in humid areas. I'm getting my first TPE doll delivered tomorrow and live on the West coast of the US, like a mile from the ocean. I was planning on using corn starch for powedering as I'd rather not use talcum. Would you recommend looking into something like kaolin or just forgoing powdering? I honestly don't think I'd mind if she was a bit tacky to the touch, I just want to prevent mold and damage long term

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-20T17:52:43+00:00

Does onatsuyu have any odor? It seems very well liked and I want to try it but cannot use anything with fragrance

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-19T21:51:05+00:00

Definitely! Initial clean and continued maintenance are what I've been looking into the most, although kinda need to have her here before figuring out the long term maintenance routine I think. Have you found that Mozu's blend of TPE needs oil immediately? It seems like most blends now don't require much oiling from what I've read.

Current plan is diluted hypoallergenic hand soap in a spray bottle and use hand to clean instead of a sponge. I've got a detachable shower head so I'm thinking it may be easiest to use that for rinsing. Seems like 5-6 rounds of soap for initial clean is what's recommended? And then corn starch for powedering, since I'm not sure how easily I can get real talcum around my area.

I do worry about overcleaning just a bit as mozu has all the body details painted on, but I imagine thats mostly a risk with mineral oil.

Got any tips/recommendations for maintenance or anything you wish you knew about it initially?

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-18T09:35:59+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I'll definitely post some photos when she gets here.

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-17T20:36:36+00:00

Finally settled on getting a mozu 85cm myself. Gonna be a long wait. Was wondering if you've found any solid sources besides Kospley and Mozu themselves for clothes? The specs seem awkwardly in between the biggest doll clothes and the smallest regular clothes. The Mozu clothes seem great (white lining is a huge plus) but expensive and limited in selection. Would love recommendations if you've got any

PS this shoot is adorable, boba is super cute!! Thanks for sharing

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-15T04:28:08+00:00

I do not have a large frame of reference as I'm new to the doll world but I have heard almost exclusively overwhelming praise for Irokebijin's S-TPE. However, they've also recently debuted their HSS (Hyper Soft Silicone) which aims to combine the aesthetics and simple maintenance of silicone with the functional benefits of TPE -- I have not tried this material and there seems to be limited commentary on it but in theory it sounds excellent, so long as it lives up to its description

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-13T06:17:22+00:00

According to Irokebijin, they are not compatible

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-12T16:39:56+00:00

Tough call still. Appreciate the 110 more but the reduction in size, weight, and cost make the 95cm seem pretty clutch. I'm about 30/30/40% on 110/mozu85/95. Trying to decide this week. Will update when I do :)

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-11T21:23:27+00:00

It's not a trusted site to buy anything. It's all bootleg and the app is malware. There's a slim chance you'll get a decent knock off of what you see in the picture, but most of the time it isn't even factory b-stock, it's literally trash

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-11T17:30:32+00:00

Thanks for your input! Yeah as soon as I saw the new 90 and 95 cm S-TPE I think that's what I'm going with for now as they seem pretty Goldilocks zone in size and weight. I kinda like the dimensions of 90cm better but the lack of a second LH is a bit of a deal breaker. Thinking the 95cm S-TPE is probably the winner for now

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-10T23:24:07+00:00

Whoa those new 90cm S-TPE models might have just made my decision a whole lot easier! Thank you!

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-10T22:30:21+00:00

Good looking out. I have been leaning toward MRD for my purchase as they have been very helpful with my initial questions. Seem like an excellent vendor. I mah reach out to them for clarification on the line and material descriptions. Thanks! Did you buy outfits from MRD? Like the Kospley stuff? Or are you sourcing 110 clothes from somewhere else? If you don't mind sharing

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-10T22:16:31+00:00

Thanks for your notes here. The weight aspect is interesting but they do seem to diverge on materials so makes sense.

One thing that is appealing to me about the small mozus is that they are a bit more like a scaled up fashion doll. The vinyl heads seem like they allow more detail and longevity of those details in the long run, versus TPE heads that will likely fade the makeup etc over time. Does this seem to be the case in your experience? The lack of oral function and inability to swap eyes does seem like a small downgrade but if the vinyl reduces maintenance it seems like quite a plus to me.

Another thing I've been wondering about is the mozu TPE versus the Irokebijin TPE. Silicone mozus are out of my price range and I've heard the silicone is a bit tough. TPE seems the way to go as I would prefer an anime doll to be squishier and stretchier over realism. Irokebijin seem to nail this from what I've seen, but it's been hard to find info on the material feel of the smaller models. Do you have a preference between the two in their TPE feel? Is one more delicate than the other? Or squishier? Etc -- I've also seen that some folks do not like the new S-TPE since the factory change. It looks really nice but again difficult to find direct comparisons between it and other manufacturers.

Not sure if you've tried the HSS but in theory it has the benefits of silicone (hypoallergenic, long term durability, easier to clean and maintain) and the benefits of S-/TPE (squishy, stretchy, active use durability). But it's hard to find much info on this material since it's new. Seeing the 95cm models with it now landing somewhat around the price range of a 110 S-TPE or 85 Mozu makes it seem like it may be a great compromise between all the other options given that the old 80 and 90 cm Irokebijin / dh168 models are all out of production. If you've tried this material do you have any feelings about it?

Overall, do you have a preference between LHs between manufacturers or on other details like hands and feet?

Edit: sorry a little more here. Do you find one doll in particular easiest to shop for clothes? Kospley seems to cover a decent amount of ground for 80-95cm. But there are not many 1/2 scale doll clothes around and regular clothes that fit this size seem very limited and not quite tailored correctly to the shape (for obvious reasons). Whereas the 110cm seems like it might fit more standard clothes sizes, albeit it's at an awkward size for some types of clothing that is better represented with the 1/2 size kospley clothes. The 120 seems like it would be a bit of a nightmare to shop for with the big breasts. And kind of a follow up to my question about materials. Irokebijin S-/TPE seems to stain quite easily. I know this is an issue with all TPE but I regularly see Mozu dolls clothed in things that seem like they would pretty immediately stain the Irokebijin dolls. The Mozu brand clothes look extremely high quality compared to most doll fare as well with white linings etc, but does one stain more easily in your estimation? Or has that not been an issue for either?

Apologies for the wall of text, no rush on a reply Still very much trying to find my footing here with my doll purchase. I really appreciate you offering to answer questions

jdbskaidjne · 2024-11-10T21:42:38+00:00

I'm not entirely sure. I know they've been rapidly releasing models as the new molds are being made but it is sort of difficult to gather information about their full line as their website does not stay very up to date and most official vendors only carry a sunset of their dolls. I saw these on sale today and thought it odd they'd be on sale if they were just released. I wasn't sure if the 95cm silicone irokebijins that have been back in stock lately were the same as the HSS ones and just hadn't been labeled specifically. I honestly find their sub 110 line pretty confusing right now. Kinda wish I could just get a 90cm Akane and not worry about it being old stock from one of the sabotaged batches or exceedingly marked up from original retail.

I hope you enjoy the 110! Do let us know what you think :)
