Body Comparison DF-A vs. Raccoondoll vs. Creature Doll MSD

Hello! I ordered the Doll Family - A MSD girl body version 2 for a floating Creature Doll head i had (the Creature Doll company went belly up ;_; ) and I am compelled to compare the results to my Raccoondoll Slim Large Bust gal grey Elf Iris and my original Creature Doll Phyllis.

First, a few photos of just the DF-A body, as I don't see many of those around yet:

Stands pretty good, although more stable with legs slightly apart. Love the soft sculpting of her abdomen.

I like her leg joints. She is easy to sit down and her double jointed knee is well hidden when not in use so it's not an eyesore. Her elbow is not so graceful, but functions well. Her chest joint has limited range.

This is the only doll I have that can do this pose - with her legs all the way back. Pretty cool! very sturdy as well.

Ok now that we know what we are starting with, on-ward to the comparisons!
First - vs. raccoondoll!

A bit tricky to photograph with the two different colored resins so DF-A is a bit washed out. Neck is overall similar. Shoulders on Raccoondoll much more relaxed. Certainly the breasts are different but neither is better than the other. Raccoondoll's hands are too small, but DF-A is a touch too big when paired with that small head. The abdomen I prefer DF-A.

That's each gal looking as far down as she can (equal range), with her arm bent as much as it would hold (slightly better on DF-A), with the wrist flexed as much as it would hold (DF-A definitly wins here, Raccoondoll's wrist does not hold a flexed position at all).

Last direct comparison for these two - the best? most natural? sitting poses that I could get out of each.

Ok so I know almost no one actually owns a Creature Doll since the company only existed for a year, so I won't go into a typed analysis of my comparisons too much. These were mostly for my benefit!

This photo is interesting because i had to pop the Raccoondoll's joint (you can see the gap under her chest) to get her to hold this. DF-A can't pop her chest, her torso is built with an extra piece inside to prevent her top from sliding around much. And Creature Doll is just my favorite (bias)

Overall I'm glad I took a chance on the DF-A body for my Creature Doll Mei head. My faceup is too yellow which primarily drives the color difference, and I may one day sand the neck a tad, but really she's on par with Raccoondoll in a lot of ways.

Thanks for looking and listening to my ramble!

 

I understand! I think df-a added a inner piece after shooting the promo pictures because my gal certainly can not tilt at the torso joint like as advertised.....but! I think maybe there is an opportunity to mod to make that happen.

 

@vermont chick iris has the slim body but large bust. The squared off shoulders on DFA are disconcerting, almost as if she’s holding her breath, sucking in her stomach. But with the right style of clothes on it is not noticeable, I could see her body shape working really well with a corseted outfit.

 

@Mutation I agree! I wish I had been in a place financially to buy all the Creature Dolls during the year the shop was open. The hip joints has interesting internal gear assembly that holds sturdy poses without compromising the look.
