If their one mold form is busy for two months, I can only see two possible reasons for the deays: Either there are still issues the manufacturing process, or someone sells *busloads* of busty dolls per day. Making a TPE doll is done by injection molding, meaning that making these dolls is
a lot faster than creating a silicone doll. In two months there should be hundreds of busty YL-150/BB out in the wild, and I have honestly no idea who has this kind of sales capacity.

Yes, I considered to make a busty OEM torso; since a lot of the new TPE dolls are around 40 kg with increasing tendency - more bust, more tummy, more curves = more weight. Neither current doll skeletons nor an average human back have much room left to further increase weight. Smarter designs are desperately needed. For example, TPE dolls with a hollow core to save body weight, similar to foam cores in silicone dolls. Though, nobody has developed this yet because it's not trivial - the core would need to withstand heat and presure, so it could be neither foam nor regular plastic.
I think torsos are great if price is an issue and the primary reason to consider purchasing a doll is sex. Only torsos combine easy handling, low prices and life-sized measurements. For sex, a torso is much more rigid than any doll with articulated skeleton can ever be. However, most customer on a budget go for a miniature doll instead of a torso - 80-120 cm dolls are in a similar pricing range like full-sized torsos. Even if I advise against it, a lot of customers seem to prefer a complete body, even if the mouth to vagina distance and other key measurements would be in favour for a torso.
What definitely could be fun to do would be a torso doll with boobs like in your avatar picture. Each breast 1.5-2 times the size of an average head, 3-4 kg weight each. Real melons. Yummy!
