About bapesnetwork
bapesnetwork has manufactured premium silicone dolls since 2014, shipping over 18,000 hand-finished pieces to collectors across 40 countries.
Our Origin
The brand started in a single workshop with two sculptors and one goal: produce the most anatomically accurate silicone reborn doll available to collectors at a fair price.
By 2018, demand had grown to require a dedicated 12-person production team. Today that team numbers 47 full-time artisans, each specializing in a distinct phase of the silicone doll production process.
What We Make
Every product in our catalog is a full or partial platinum-cure silicone doll — no vinyl, no hard plastic. Silicone gives collectors a flex, weight, and skin-like texture that no other material replicates.
Our range covers newborn realism sculpts, toddler bodies, artist-edition limited runs, and fully custom portrait builds. Each tier uses the same base material — only the finish level and customization depth change.
Craftsmanship
Artisans at bapesnetwork average 4.2 years of tenure and complete a 6-month internal apprenticeship before working on customer orders. No automated casting lines exist in our facility.
Every mold is hand-poured in layered passes — typically 6 to 8 — to build the translucent skin depth that distinguishes our dolls in photographs and in person. Paint is applied in 7 transparent coats using air-brush techniques refined over a decade.
Quality Control
Each finished doll passes 18 individual inspection points before it is approved for packaging. Checks cover dimensional accuracy, color consistency, hair-rooting density, joint flexibility, and weighted fill distribution.
Our rejection rate sits at 0.4%. Pieces that fall short are re-worked or recycled — they never ship. That standard is why 4,200+ customers place repeat orders with bapesnetwork every year.
Our Collector Community
The bapesnetwork forum hosts 11,000+ active collectors sharing care techniques, display photography, and custom order inspiration. Membership is free with any purchase.
Sustainability
Platinum-cure silicone is rated for 20+ years of color stability, meaning dolls from our 2014 catalog still display without degradation. Long product life is the most direct form of sustainable manufacturing we practice.
Packaging uses FSC-certified cardboard and 100% recyclable foam inserts. We eliminated single-use plastic from all shipments in 2022.
We ship all orders carbon-neutral through verified offset programs, calculated per shipment weight and destination distance.
