How brands earn their stars

Every maker is marked out of 5 against five weighted criteria:

  • Realism — face sculpt and skin finishing (30%)
  • Build quality — teen sex grade, skeleton and seams (25%)
  • Value — price relative to comparable makers (20%)
  • Seller safety — authorised-vendor programme and counterfeit risk (15%)
  • Range and customisation (10%)

Where our facts come from

We draw on manufacturer specifications, authorised-seller information, buyer reports and reputable references, and we cite sources in our articles. Every page carries its last-updated date; we revisit guides at least quarterly and refresh figures whenever the market shifts.

Nobody buys a grade here

No brand can pay for a rating or a placement — full stop. Spotted a slip-up? Contact us and we'll fix it and note the update date.
