So I'm having a dilemma where I ordered a Bonbon Galaxy Lychee 1.0 body and I've been looking for a head and I've fallen in love with an Amadiz 44cm Koti. However, I'm not sure it works proportionally. I've approximated a photopea collage that's as accurate as I could make it. What do you all think? I'm kind of thinking a Pomegranate body would work better, but they are not able to be ordered anymore...
Ive never owned a doll from either company but I’m a long time doll collector and at this point most of my dolls are hybrids.So I’ve come up with some pretty good ways of guesstimating if a doll would be a good match proportion wise. I quickly checked the measurements for the bodies and I’m not very confident in the match. With MSDs, small differences in measurements can lead to big problems proportionally. I notice the neck for the bonbon galaxy is a 6.5 and the Amadiz head is 7.3, which is still in a workable range but might have a bit of neck gape and will probably need a silicone disk to prevent the head from falling whatever way it decides. My bigger concern is the shoulder and chest measurements, the original amadiz body has a shoulder width of 9.5 and a chest of 19.5, where as the bonbon galaxy doll was 8 and 16.5 respectively, this makes me believe that the doll is going to be a little bobble headed on that body. That’s something that is not to my taste but everyone is different in which dolls they prefer! Anyway this is all just a vague estimation of course but thats my two cents! Happy hybridding!
@kiraabsol thank you for your estimation!! I don't have a lot of hybriding experience so I definitely value yours! Now I'm wondering if I *did* get the Koti head, what bodies would work with it?
@Dew_Drops has a Coralreef Amadiz hybrid. Personally I love the way it looks and even considered getting a similar hybrid for a moment.
@Viridiansummer what a great hybrid!! thank you for showing me I'm wondering if a myou 1/4th girl body would work- BJD MYOU DOLL MYOU Doll 1/4 girl body v. 4 Height: 46cm (when with head) -Neck: 7cm -Shoulder Width: 9.4cm -Arm Length: 18cm -Chest: Small-18.6cm,Large-19.6cm -Waist: 14.2cm -Hips: 22.2cm -Thigh Circumference: 12.8cm -Calf Circumference: 8.7cm -Leg Length: 22.6cm -Foot Length: 5.6cm -Foot Width: 2.1cm The measurements seem pretty close, AND it can be cast in Tan resin!!! That would let me avoid dying a doll, and I could color match the head using high flow acrylic. I don't really like dolls that have very stylized skinny-ness, I generally like proportions that are closer to regular people (which I have had a hard time finding, outside of limited artist runs on instagram) ((which is why I don't want an Amadiz body)) And here are Amadiz 44cm measurements, for reference: Height: 44cm Head circumference: 15.5 cm (6-7 inches) Neck girth: 7.3 cm Shoulder width: 9.5 cm Chest girth: 19.2 cm Waist girth: 15.5 cm Hip girth: 18.5 cm Waist to toe length: 27 cm Arm length: 17.5 cm Leg length: 23.5 cm Thigh girth: 11.2 cm Flat foot length: 5.5 cm Foot width: 2 cm Eyes: 6-8mm
Ohh! That might be a good choice! I also recommend the gem of doll Windsor body. I have one for one of my girls and I love the way it poses!
@cobaltconduct suggested impledoll bodies as an option, and they have both tan and dark tan (squee!!!) resin options. Impledoll bodies ($188) are also comparable in price to myou doll ($185). ImplDoll 1/4 Female Body Total height: 45cm Body height: 40cm Head: 16cm neck: 6.3 shoulder: 10 Chest: 21, 20, 19.5 waist: 13 hip: 22.5 leg: 26.5 thigh: 11.5 calf: 7.7 feet length: 5.5 width: 2.5 the neck is smaller but the height of the body matches the head well. Proportionally this body is taller and similarly slim, with slightly larger hips and a possibly larger bust. Its shoulders are wider. Overall the aesthetic of the body matches the character. ImplDoll 1/4 Female Body Curvy Total height: 44cm Body height: 39cm Head: 17.5cm neck: 6.3 shoulder: 9.5 Chest: 20.8, 19.4 waist: 13.6 hip: 23.5 leg: 25 thigh: 13.8 calf: 8.5 feet length: 5.1 width: 2 This body's main difference is the leg thickness and height. It is slightly shorter and has a slightly bigger hip and waist. Honestly, If I could get the torso of the female body paired with the limbs of the curvy body that would be cool. I'm not a fan of the thinness of the arms on the female body... just makes me nervous!! She needs a cheeseburger... Bonbon Galaxy Lychee 1.0 body: Height: 37.2 Neck: 6.2 Shoulder: 8.1 Arm length: 11.5 Chest: 17cm waist: 11.5 hip: 19 outer leg length: 21.5 Thigh: 11 calf: 7.5 Foot length: 5.3 foot width: 2 This body was delivered to my pickup location but I haven't had a chance to open it up and take a look yet. It is by far the smallest of all the options, and I do suspect it may be too small for the head. So far, it seems like the best resin match would be Impldoll, but the best size match would be MYOU doll's 1/4 v.4 body. I am going to hold off on making any purchases until after I get them both in hand to compare. Personally, I think the size of the body matters the most to me, as I have seen many successful dying projects.
Another option: Resinsoul's Xi/Xun body Height 45cm Head size 18.5cm Neck size 7cm Shoulder width 8cm Chest 17cm Waist 12cm Hip 18.5cm Arm Length 13cm Leg length 24.5cm Feet length 5.2cm Feet wide 2cm And another one: Dream Valley B4-37 Windchime Body doesn't come in dark skin tones, but has moveable neck and shoulders
