Have Kimber Doll gone out of business ???
I thought I'd check in on the latest prices and all but one of there websites have disappeared from the internet.
The only site that is still active is Kimber doll USA, and that one says the dolls are all sold out.
This has been coming for a year at least; myself and one of the recent joiners to the forum probably bought the last two Deluxes in existence as they went 'sold out' immediately afterwards.
All Kimberdoll domains redirect to the US (.com) one and, like Joe says, are sold out. Arthur 1960, whom some of you remember from other forums, said that they are trying to sell the business and have been for a while. You can buy a half decent doll for under £1000 from people like Sigafun (budget Irontech brand) that has modern features and more choice; in short, the entry level pricing for these dolls has gotten low enough that Kimberdoll no longer needs to exist.
So it seems that it really is the end of Kimber Doll 😪 Though not entirely - we still have our girls.
If someone is really set on having a Kimber it might be worth contacting Aibei direct as they make them, It might be possible to order something very similar if not identical.

Just google Aibei 158 g cup sex doll; the face is unmistakably Kimber. About the nearest you can get in a stock Aibei model.
Actually it appears that "Sex Doll Queen" is doing that now.
FWIW, this is a stock Aibei model; however, it's very likely the one that Kimber was derived from. For some reason you can only buy her on vendor websites; Aibei's own website doesn't list her. I chose SDQ simply because the other vendors I could find were ... less reputable ones ... that I wouldn't recommend. SDQ are based in Canada.

If SDQ are based in Canada, that works for me because I live in Canada. However It appears on their website that they also do business in the US and the UK. I also noticed that they have a range of low priced budget dolls with the same features as the Kimber deluxe ( Gell breasts articulated hands etc.)
In conclusion, I'm thinking there might be some potential there.
No twin sister for Lucy then! Shame lol. Hopefully another company will fill the void offering a well made similar affordable entry level doll.
Actually there are quite a few entry level/ budget friendly dolls available if you shop around. Although apart from Lucid probably not likely available from UK stock ( like Kimber) Kimber is/was cheap and readily available because of the way they operated the stock ,warehousing and logistics, the downside being like anything manufactured in bulk there were no options. I suspect one of the reasons that business model is now less feasible or less profitable is the huge increase in costs of fuel, transport, shipping and commercial storage. I doubt the low price Kimber sold at would be sustainable long term regardless, I would like to be proved wrong though……….
