Yet, one sad and desperate business man believes that he can, having approached Diego Bortolin for a [sex doll clone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bedhedz) of his ex-girlfriend. Diego Bortolin, in turn, produced an [exact copy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-replica) of the man's ex-girlfriend, except for one detail as per request: bigger breasts. Although his services are usually priced at $5,000, Bortolin charged the businessman $18,000. According to the manufacturer, "We had to replicate everything, right down to the shape of her nails and teeth." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.8/10 - Popularity: 97% | Activity: 100% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Romance](https://www.trendhunter.com/romance) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Customized Adult Dolls:** Innovation opportunity: Explore the development of personalized adult dolls with specific features and characteristics to meet customers' needs and desires. - **3D Scanning and Printing:** Innovation opportunity: Apply 3D scanning and printing technology to create highly realistic and accurate replicas of real-life objects. - **Emotional Robotics:** Innovation opportunity: Investigate the possibility of integrating emotional robotics technology into adult dolls to provide users with a more authentic and satisfying experience. ### Where This Applies - **Adult Novelty Products:** Innovation opportunity: Expand the range of adult novelty products by using advanced technologies and focusing on customization and personalization. - **3D Printing:** Innovation opportunity: Incorporate 3D printing technology into the production process of adult novelty products to enhance quality and accuracy. - **Sex Tech:** Innovation opportunity: Introduce emotional robotics and other advanced technologies into the sex tech industry to create more immersive and satisfying experiences for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Therapeutic Breakup Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/text-your-ex1.md) - [Real Hair-Packed Voodoo Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steveo.md) - [Chatting AI Clones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dollyai.md) - [Collectable Sculptural Doll Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/inedible-doll.md) - [Surreal Love-Themed Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joakim-ojanen.md) - [Breakup Navigating AI Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relationship-20.md) - [Cheeky Jewelry Valentine's Day Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prya.md) - [Mythological Two-Piece Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corazon-marikit-doll.md) - [Pro-Abortion Pleasure Toys](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dame.md)
