Companies that match MDD vinyl colours?

Aug 10, 2023

    1. Hi, I was really wanting to get a MDD, but the prospect of staining a vinyl body scares me a little. Are there companies that offer the Volks standard colours in resin that I could use to make a hybrid?
       
    2. I've noticed a lot of anime style resin dolls offer a color match to Volks SWS which is their most popular color in vinyl. In fact I tend to see it written as "MDD SWS" since it's popular for MDD hybrids! :whee: I ordered a Shoushou doll in SWS (they also offer a color match to Flesh), but unfortunately she's still a month or two out so I can't make a comparison pic yet. But you will more likely find a resin body to match if your head is SWS :kitty2

      Although staining soft vinyl is way too easy, the positive thing is that most stains can be removed pretty easily too :abambi: A lot can be avoided if you line the clothes in light colors or wear a stain suit.
      But pigment transfers can happen even when taking these precautions. And I have found Volks's stain prevention tape to be completely ineffective :sweat A resin hybrid is not a bad idea if all this sounds like too much effort. Hope someone else can give you more specific brands :thumbup

    3. Agree with the points above and just wanted to add that vinyl and resin do yellow at different rates, so the head and body of your hybrid doll might not match some time in the future.
