How Expensive Is Too Expensive


RealDolls, the San Marcos, Calif. company that supplied the doll for “Lars,” has dominated the silicone doll market since launching in 1996. In the last few years, however, the company has had to fend off attacks from start ups that simultaneously try to discredit RealDolls and establish supremacy in the sex doll market.

One competitor, My Party Doll, of Lakewood, Calif., began production (and, according to observers, the trash talking) two years ago.

Jim Arthur, owner and manufacturer of My Party Doll, claims that Real Dolls uses inferior products in its silicone love dolls.

"They really have some huge problems,” he said. “You can see a lot of pictures on the web of dolls falling apart, and the material eventually deteriorates. The tin silicone is a cheaper brand of silicone that is usually used to make rubber bands and inexpensive materials."

He claims that, after a couple of years, the material falls apart in the same way a rubber band would “after years stuck in the back corner of your desk."

Arthur says he only uses platinum silicone, a higher quality and more expensive material. Despite using costlier materials, My Party Doll dolls retail for $1600 less than Real Dolls dolls.
