The source of that artistry is undoubtedly McMullen, a sculptor who started Abyss Creations in his garage in 1997. From their painstakingly hand-painted irises to the creases on the backs of their feet, each one is stunningly lifelike up close. Tom described them to me as functional works of art, and he's right. They look great on camera and they never complain about long hours.Įven the most glamorous of these photos don't do the dolls justice. Photographers love using RealDolls as models, he tells me with a smile. He catches me taking in the imagery on the walls. Our guide for the day is Dakotah Shore, McMullen's nephew and Abyss' head of shipping, operations and media relations. But the company draws the line at animals, children and re-creations of people who haven't given their permission to be replicated, celebrity or otherwise.
McMullen says his team can make just about anything to order for the right price. Watch this: Touring a factory where sexbots come alive Should customers choose, they'll be able to swap one in for their RealDoll's original head for a cool $10,000. The talking, animatronic head with AI built in goes on sale at the end of this year. Preconfigured models start at a few thousand dollars, while the highly customized doll Tom purchased cost nearly $17,000. Any one of them - the dolls, and the fantasies they inspire - can be yours for the right price. The rest of the walls, meanwhile, are lined with framed, posterized photos of RealDolls in a variety of imaginative settings and inviting poses - a sexy librarian reaching for a tome on the top shelf, for example, or an Amazonian bombshell sprawled out seductively on a chaise lounge. Each has a look of its own, but with eyes half open and lips parted, all bear the same vague, vacant stare of frozen arousal, as if they'll wait as long as it takes to experience a partner's touch. Behind them is a makeshift showroom featuring a squad of scantily uniformed dolls and a corner lined with rows of doll heads that showcase the available hairstyles and facial designs.
