Doll sizes explained: height, weight, and cup in real numbers
Height is the number everyone shops by, but it's the one that tells you least about what actually arrives. A "160cm doll" can weigh anywhere from 28 to nearly 50 kg depending on build and material, and weight (not height) is what decides whether you can move it, pose it, and store it. This guide puts real numbers to each size band, drawn from the catalogue itself, so you know what you're committing to before you buy.
The size bands, by the numbers
Medians across the catalogue. Weight is the figure to watch.
| Height | Typical weight | Common cups | Bust / Waist / Hip | Foot | Roughly like… |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Torso / half (<100cm) | ~25 kg | wide range | ~75 / 58 / 100 | — | upper body only; most storable |
| Mini (100–129cm) | ~25 kg | A–K | ~87 / 61 / 99 | — | compact, light, easy to handle |
| 140–149cm | ~30 kg | C–G | ~73 / 52 / 81 | ~19cm | very petite adult |
| 150–159cm | ~31 kg (23–45) | A–K | ~80 / 54 / 92 | ~21cm | petite woman, ~5'0"–5'2" |
| 160–169cm | ~37 kg (28–49) | B–K | ~86 / 58 / 95 | ~22cm | average height, ~5'3"–5'7" |
| 170cm+ | ~41 kg (27–47) | A–H | ~89 / 63 / 97 | ~23cm | tall, ~5'7"+ |
Most dolls sit at 160–169cm. That band alone is about half the catalogue, so it's where you'll find the widest choice of faces, bodies, and options.
Weight is heavier than it looks
A 165cm doll around 37kg sounds lighter than a real person that height (who'd be 55–65kg), but it handles heavier, because it's dead weight. Nothing tenses, balances, or helps you lift. Practical rule of thumb:
- Under ~30kg (minis, petite): one person can move and pose it comfortably.
- ~35–45kg (most full-size dolls): manageable but genuinely heavy, like lifting a full suitcase that won't cooperate. A hanging storage kit or a second person makes life much easier.
- Silicone runs heavier than TPE at the same size (denser material), so factor that in when you're near the top of a band.
If handling or storage is a concern, size down or consider a torso; you lose height, not quality.
Cup size, honestly
Cup letters (A–K) describe the doll's bust, and they climb far higher than everyday clothing sizes. A few things worth knowing:
- Bigger cups (G and up) add noticeable front weight and change the balance when posing and standing.
- Cup drives how easily tops fit (see the clothing guide below).
- Very large busts are more likely to use gel fill for a realistic feel, which is softer but more delicate in shipping.
Feet and shoes
Foot length runs about 20–23cm on full-size dolls, roughly a US women's 5–6 / EU 35–37. Handy if you plan to buy real shoes; measure the foot length in the listing and match it to a shoe size chart rather than guessing.
How this feeds what you can dress it in
Slimmer, shorter dolls are far easier to clothe; more on that in the clothing guide. The short version: the doll's waist is much narrower than a human's for the same bust, so you size to the biggest measurement and take in the rest.
