modern specialist handicraft markets are definitely something i don't understand very well, but low-numbers high-cost operations like this probably aren't 'real' factories with high capital investment, my theory is that these businesses would take normally manufactured sex dolls and bespoke customize them to look like characters, then they're marketing them in slightly more 'reputable' places as an extension of the 'figurine' stuff. it's a bit bizarre that they're coy about it, wouldn't a buyer want all the specifics/operation manuals on a really expensive sextoy? but i guess the barest pretense that the sexdoll is a collectible would be important to some prudish markets.
