Inflatababe #9: Yumi, The Anime Doll

Holy Fuck! LIFE got in the way and in a sneeze, a whole month went without me writing a single word in this blog! Now, with most of my shit under control, I can retake the blog and give you a few reviews. So to begin, let's review a classic inflatababe - Yumi the Anime Girl.

This cute inflatababe has been the initiation of thousands of doll users since DocJohnson began to sell her a few years ago. A cute "anime" style doll, it has been around in various versions, with the current version having three love passages. All of the versions keep the doll shape (spread bent legs for deep missionary), and a printed face with blonde hair and brown eyes.

Review

Yumi is constructed with good quality PVC, feeling sturdy when you take it out of the box. It has the typical PVC smell when using it for the first time, but it is a faint smell that disappear after a couple of hours. Yumi is pretty easy and fast to inflate, getting her recognizable shape after a couple minutes.

This doll is a low cost doll, usually available in the $15 - $25 range from most shops. Unlike other budget dolls, Yumi has rounded breasts with noticeable nipples, a good quality printed face, and three holes for penetration.

Now, the three love holes are not too deep - maybe 4 inches deep - but they are enough to get the job done. Although the seams are noticeable, they are not too sharp, but using lots of water-based lubricants is recommended to avoid unnecessary friction.

From the three love passages, I found the vaginal and oral holes to be the best ones for play. In my opinion, the anal passage is too high to allow for comfortable use, still it is still fun to play. My favorite part of the doll? The erect nipples. They are hollow, allowing for pinching while fondling Yumi's big DD breasts.

Score

Looks: 5 / 5
Realism: 3 / 5
Fuckability: 5 / 5 
Durability: 4 / 5 
Inflation / Deflation: 5 / 5 (Easy to inflate without a pump) 

Total:  23 / 25

Verdict: 
If you are looking for a first doll or a doll to have fun during a dry spell, consider getting Yumi. This is a budget doll that is pretty fun to play with, having all options to make your anime fantasies true.

Where to buy? You can buy this doll in many different stores.

Doll Review: Eri Nanjo Doll

I can't believe that I had this doll for 3 years and I never reviewed it!

First, let me tell you a story...

Back when I started my (Doll) Harem, two of the dolls that got my attention were the Eri Nanjo and its "friend" Aoi Himeno. Both are plush dolls from Japan, have the generic anime style, and are cute as hell. They are not sexy or anything - just cute. They were not too expensive either - about $600 including shipping from Japan - but at the time, I decided against buying from Japan (easy when you buy from Kanojo Toys). I ended setting up for Kyoko (my Teddy Babe) and forgot about the Nanjo.

A few months after getting my TB, I am looking at a thrift store in Manhattan when I saw a familiar face - an Eri Nanjo doll! It was fairly new, with a couple of crayon marks in one of her feet and a slightly dirty camisole, but in perfect shape... and a price of just $25. So, without thinking too much, I got the doll and bought it, carrying it back home in a clear trash bag on the subway at rush hour on a Friday early evening...

That's how I got my own Eri Nanjo doll and honestly, it is one of my favorites!

Now, something I love about Japanese dolls is that they are made for one thing - sex. The doll is very simple - basically a human shaped plush toy. The head does not turn, the body has no internal skeleton, the arms do not rotate, and the doll is not pose able. What makes this doll perfect for sex is that the legs are floppy and they rotate as if it was a real person. That allows the Eri Nanjo to accommodate her position to your desire while playing with her. The doll is capable of sustaining many different sex positions (with some support), and the advantage of accepting different masturbator models help to keep variety.

Being a plush doll, the Eri Nanjo is a light doll - less than 15 pounds - and because it measures about 4.75 feet tall (145 cm), it is almost life size. You can say it has the body of a teen with wide hips, with measurements of 29 / 24 / 32 inches (74/61/82 cm) and nice features - soft fuzzy "skin", big sewn eyes, and a firm body that retains its shape even after three years.

There are two things about the Eri Nanjo that many users don't like. First, as many Japanese dolls, it has no nipples. That is something you can fix easily by gluing silicone or rubber nipples sold in most stores. Second, you can only use smaller masturbators with this doll - nothing larger than 5 inches fits inside her vaginal hole. Still with these two "drawbacks", the Eri is a cute and devilish fun doll to have.

Verdict: The Eri Nanjo doll is the perfect doll for those looking for a relatively inexpensive plush doll in the anime style. The doll does not allow for posing or too much style, but it is great for cosplay and customization... and of course for sex. If you don't mind the limitation of masturbator size, or the fact that it is only available by ordering directly from Japan, it is a good beginner's doll for below $600 (including shipping from Japan).

Score:

Realism: 4 / 5. The Eri Nanjo has the proportions of a Japanese teen. It feels good for cuddling at night.
 
Storing: 3 / 5. It is basically life size, so better have some closet space. Or keep it clothed in cosplay and put on display!

Maintenance: 5 / 5. Really easy to keep clean with a damp cloth. No wires or skeleton to break here.

Cleaning: 4 / 5. Avoid cumming on the doll, remember it is a plush toy. Otherwise, easy to spot clean. 

Weight: 5 / 5. Less than 15 pounds (6.8 kg). Easy to move around with one hand.

Total: 21 / 25

You can buy your Eri Nanjo at KANOJO TOYS.

Inflatababe #7: Love Pillow Asuka

I remember that my first ever ejaculation was thanks to the inspiration given by an anime character - Sayaka from Mazinger Z. When I was a young, little horny fucker, anime was the domain of ultra-nerds - and I was one of them! 

I spent hours watching the few titles shown in Puerto Rican TV in the 1980's - Mazinger Z, G-Force, Space Pirate Captain Harlock, and Remi among others - always feeling a weird attraction to the adult female characters. Those innocent looking cartoon ladies with big, round eyes, small mouths and slender figures always fitted inside tight clothes gave me my firsts hard-ons and were the inspirations for many masturbatory sessions until I discovered porn.

Fast forward 20 years and now anime is all the rage. The perfection and sexy nature of the cartoon ladies that got my attention in my early teens now have done the same to guys of all ages around the world. Sex toy companies like Cal Exotics realized that, and designed a series of anime-inspired toys, with the Love Pillow Asuka being one of them.

It's the Asuka a good toy? Let's go to the review!

Description

Unlike other inflatable dolls, the Asuka is exactly what you see in the promotional material. Instead of a doll, you get an inflatable pillow with a high quality printed anime girl, completely naked of course, and a cheap masturbator that reeks of strawberry smell. The pillow has not one , but five orifices located at the front, bottom, back, and sides of the inflatable pillow.  Once inflated, the Asuka measures 44.25”x 12” (112 cm x 30 cm), ensuring that is almost life-sized. 

Review

I have to say that I am not a big fan of inflatable girls, but I found this love pillow funny and sort of sexy. If you are an anime fan, the graphic is definitively sexy - small breasts, hairless crotch, wild flowing black / purple hair and a small ajar mouth that seems to plead you to fuck her. 

The first thing I did was throwing away the damned masturbator sleeve included with the pillow. I hate the strong strawberry smell, so I exchanged it for a Palm Pal that I had lying around.

The pillow has the requisite orifice in the front, not in an anatomically correct place on the graphic, but perfect for most guys to stick their meat and look at the anime graphic. I found the other four positions kind of weird, but for those creative guys out there, they will be a welcomed addition. You could place up to five different small masturbator sleeves and have an orgy fucking five different textures with the same doll. The holes can be used without a masturbator since they don't have sharp edges and have a nice, soft sensation. I used the Asuka with both the Palm Pal and without it and in both cases, it felt nice for a long session.

On the bad side, I wished the toy had a more human-like shape. At least if the breasts would be in 3-D, I would had enjoyed this toy a lot more than with its current flat, torpedo shape. 

Score 

Looks: 3/5 (Gorgeous print, torpedo shaped) 

Realism: 2/5 (Flat design, you can use small and midsized masturbator sleeves) 

Fuckability: 5/5 (Five different holes!) 

Durability: 5/5 (Look sturdy... really sturdy)

Inflation / Deflation: 3/5 (You will need a pump or really good lungs) 

Total:  18 / 25

Verdict: Not bad - if you are a big anime fan. The graphic is cute and everything, but requires a lot of imagination to keep your erection because there are no hip, ass, or breasts to grab while using one of the holes. If you can simply enjoy the sensations, the possibility of using up to five different toys in one session makes this toy a must buy.

Where to buy? You can buy the Asuka in many different stores, but I got mine for just $15 at Pink Cherry. 

Inflatababe #2: Kishimoto Serika

The second review of my plastic harem is for Kishimoto Serika, an anime style inflatable doll distributed in the US by California Exotics and available in most online and brick and mortar stores (even Amazon has it!). Serika is one of the most reviewed inflatable dolls around, so she should have something good going on! 

Description

The Kishimoto Serika doll is a vinyl doll in the doggie style position. She has a printed face with the same design you see on the box, mitten hands (no fingers), simple feet, and big breasts without nipples. The arms are in a hugging position and her legs are spread wide, so you can go easily in her. She includes a simple insert as part of the package. The doll is a full size doll, meaning you can use regular women clothes on her if you want. She would wear a size XS / S on the bottom, size S or M on top (due to her big breasts).

Review

Serika is one of those dolls that gives you mixed feelings. You have to separate the doll from the insert to understand my review.
The doll is fine. She has a printed face on vinyl with a cute design, the body does not have razor edges, and the positioning of the vaginal hole is pretty decent - not on the belly button as in most inflatable dolls. The body design has the curves in all the right places, including a hint of an ass and a pair of big, half elliptical breasts without nipples. I am an anime fan since the early 1980's, so the cartoonish look does not bother me. Neither does the absence of nipples on the doll and the realization that this doll only is capable of vaginal intercourse (after all most dolls made in Japan have the same characteristics). Inflating the doll by mouth is almost impossible, so get a pump to inflate this lady. The proportions of the doll are pretty realistic - with the logical exception of the anime-size breasts - and Serika looks pretty cool when dressed with regular clothes.


That said, the insert SUCKS! First of all, it smells way too strong, leaving a sharp strawberry car-deodorant everywhere. Besides the damn smell, the insert is sticky from the beginning, it is a pain in the ass to put in even with the doll partially deflated. To round up, once in place, it felt way too crappy, falling from the vaginal hole and sticking to my penis.  I used the damn insert for 5 minutes before taking it out and tossing it into the garbage. As a replacement, I placed My Ona Pet 2 masturbator, which felt much better.

Serika's pose allows you to use in various positions - doggie style, cowgirl, and missionary (if you are not too heavy). She is fun to use, but she is more delicate than expected. I a not including photos of the inflated Serika because the inevitable happened - she developed a fatal leak after our second night together. Even with that happening, she is so cute, I bought a second one to keep around whenever my back needs some rest...

Score 

Looks: 5/5 (Funny to look.)
Realism: 5/5 (nice proportions, vaginal hole in the correct area)
Fuckability: 4/5
Durability: 2/5 
Inflation / Deflation: 3/5 (Need a pump or a good set of lungs to fill this girl)

Total:  19 / 25

Verdict: The Kishimoto Serika is a fun doll to have around. You will need to shop around to find it at the right price (around $30), but she is worth it. Just loose the damned strawberry insert and be gentle with the lady.
