To the surprise of absolutely no one who has ever read my signature or looked at what dolls I have, I've got a Minifee Alan head in search of a body. The problem is that the character he's claimed is a Warlock who can do a partial shift into a cat... and 1/4 cat bodies tend to be limited edition. The only ones I can find when I search are 1/6 or smaller. I'm familiar with the Dear Mine DL boy cat body, which is decent, but mine's got a cute anthro face attached to it that I can't bring myself to steal from. What bodies are out there? Not just currently available, but limited runs that shouldn't be impossible to find. I'm not super worried about the company being a color match to Fairyland so long as the body is light enough to dye it if I need to, so if a body was only released in white or something I'd still like to know about it. I'd appreciate some pictures of different bodies, owner or company photos, so I can get a feel for where to search beyond "cat body". Especially wanted are photos that show posability/range of motion. Bonus points if I can see what the scale looks like with an 18.5cm head! Alternatively, cat feet, hands, and tails that can be bought separately and are in the right scale would also be helpful! If nothing else, I could get a body with the right build and swap out hands and feet when photos require it.
Dream Valley Uncia is a snow leopard, but it can obviously just be painted/styled as a regular cat. There's also the Soom Cheshire Cat body, which comes up for sale secondhand fairly often in my experience. Edited to add photos!
Maskcatdoll has a very cute 1/4 cat doll! https://www.maskcatdoll.com/product-page/maskcatdoll-42cm-line-catdoll I can't tell from a quick scan of the photos if the design has a tail, but there are cat-like feet and hands.
Gem of Doll has a recent release with a 'beast body', but I don't think you can purchase is separately.
@BlackSheep Uncia would honestly be the dream body, but it's always listed with the head... which I don't need. Also, DV's normal would be perfect...but did anyone actually get Uncia in normal? Was it even offered? Or would I definitely have to dye the body? @StellaMarigold It is indeed an adorable doll, with the problem being the body isn't available on its own and I want the full doll, not to steal its body from it! I'll keep it in mind for sure, though. @Koma You indeed can't purchase the body separately, but I've found a listing on their site for the hands and feet, which are the only parts different from the main body! I'm going to email them and see if they have to be purchased along with a doll, or if I can get them separately; if I can get them separately, that'll open up a lot more options for bodies since I can mod hands and feet to fit, and making a tail isn't too hard! Thanks, guys, for your help!
So, looks like he was offered in wall white, white, normal, pink, light tan, and gray. Granted, I've also only ever seen him in white... It was probably the popular option since it's what was in the promo photos lol.
You can get the Gem paws separately. I got them at least on their official Taobao, so I would assume you can get them on their international site as well! At worst, you could look into proxies, and that would also open up another secondhand doll bodies market. :'D
