It's crucial to get noticed here, as Brigitte Bardot famously learned. The only limits are taste and imagination, and they're both pretty boundless. The inflatable press kit for Kore-eda Hirokazu's movie Air Doll, a fantasy about a sex doll who comes to life, rose above the pack. It doesn't perform any services, however.
The plastic companion may soon deserve a film genre of her (or his) own. There was Lars and the Real Girl, starring Ryan Gosling as a man with a particularly flexible lady friend, and Canadian artist Wrik Mead's short film Toybox, about a deflating erotic experience. Are there any other inflatable plastic characters on screen? No Pamela Anderson jokes, now.
