The inflatable doll factory in Ningbo, China, set up shop just five years ago but punters from across the globe are ringing them up every day to get their hands on one of them.
Now officials are hoping to take over the world with their vast collection.
Factory worker Lili Hsing said: "It’s taken our breath away, and not because we have to blow up the dolls.
"The speed this industry has developed is truly exceptional.
"When I first started here, we had one type of doll on offer, and only limited local interest.
"Now we have 10 dolls, including our premium high end brand, and calls from all over the world."
There are so many of the £30 dolls that they litter the floors of the factory – and workers sometimes feel a bit creeped out by the display.
Shu Mai said: "Sometimes it’s a bit eerie having all these body parts lying around, a bit like a giant morgue.
"Of course I know they aren’t real.
"I think one of the reasons we have become so successful is the quality of the dolls we produce.
"They look good, are easily inflatable and don’t deflate too quickly.
"Our customers like that."
Satisfaction in more ways than one...
