As an admirer of Japanese dolls, I'll create this topic to acknowledge what it probably the TRUE 'first maker' of full size sex dolls (sorry Abyss - but you may have been first to go to silicone instead of vinyl).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CandyGirlWhen I was shopping for my first silicone doll in 2007, I definitely considered a CandyGirl. Back then, the ''class of '07'' included, among others, my Barbie, ceej's Sandy, Mr_Hand's Dottie, and Doll luvr's CandyGirl Saya. Saya still appears (at this writing), along with 39 other Orient dolls, in the Doll Matrix (in The Dark Forest).
Orient's current products remain available via shopping deputy at exorbitant prices (the deputies take a 'healthy' cut).
