What each one is
- Half-body torso: a 110 cm lower body. Our torsos are silicone; both are listed as waterproof, and one model is heated. On our Alibaba.com store they start from US$147.
- Full-size doll: a head and a full body on an internal skeleton with movable joints. Our full-size models include 5 ft (about 152 cm), 158 cm, 163 cm, 165 cm and 168 cm, and for custom orders 148 cm, 158 cm and 170 cm. On our Alibaba.com store they start from US$269, and larger full-silicone models start from US$1,240 to US$1,460.
Price and range
The prices above are store From prices. Your price depends on the model, material, options, quantity and shipping, and we confirm it in a written quotation.
The torso gives you a low entry price for customers who are new to the category or buying on a budget. Full-size dolls carry a higher ticket and suit customers who want a complete figure with a face.
Stocking both gives you a simple price ladder: torso first, then a full-size TPE doll, then a full-size silicone doll. Each step up adds something the customer can see and feel, which makes the higher price easier to explain.
Storage, shipping and handling
Torsos are smaller and lighter, so they take less shelf and warehouse space and cost less to ship, both to you and from you to your customers.
Full-size dolls need long cartons, more warehouse space and more care in handling. The shipping cost per unit is higher, which matters most if you deliver to your customers' homes. Ask us for the carton details of the models you shortlist before you plan your storage.
Display and customer fit
A torso is easier to show in a small store or a compact display, and easier to photograph for an online listing. Full-size dolls need more room, but they show the face, the paintwork and the hair, which are often what customers compare.
Torsos suit customers with limited storage space, buyers on a budget and first purchases in the category. Full-size dolls suit customers who want a complete figure, posable joints, and options such as heating or voice control.
Care and after-sales
Both need the same basic care: washing with warm water and a mild, unscented soap, complete drying, and storage out of direct sunlight. Full-size dolls add a skeleton and, on smart models, electronics, so their owners need more guidance on posing, lifting and charging.
For hygiene reasons, our policy is not to take back dolls that have been used. Plan your own customer returns policy with that in mind, and give clear product information before the sale so customers know what they are buying.
A starting mix
If you are new to the category, a practical start is one torso plus one or two full-size models in the material your customers ask for. Our MOQ is 1 piece, so you can test each type before you order in volume.
Once you know what sells, widen the range in the direction your customers point you: more heights, more faces and hair colors, or the same body in a second material.
Send your shortlist through our inquiry form, and we will quote torsos and full-size models side by side.
