Size Comparison Granado Raguel: size comparison?

Aug 7, 2020

    1. I've had my eye on Raguel for a bit. I'm debating on getting his head to reshell an OC. From prior experience with Granado, however—some of their heads can be on the smaller side, while others work in proportion to other more realistic company sculpts (Impldoll, Iplehouse, etc). I'm interested in possibly getting some size comparison photos next to other Granado heads.

      Or, maybe a photo comparison to any of the below sculpts, or ones very similar in size:
      Impldoll: Azalea, Sally, Bernice
      Iplehouse: Asa (or size comparable)
      Dollzone Raymond
      Dollshe: Aramis, King Corey (or size comparable to these two)
      Supia: Jacob, Lina (or size comparable)
      Dikadoll Floyer
      Little Rebel Kai (or size comparable)
      DSdoll Snake
      Simply Divine Thomas

      I currently have both Granado Gabriel and Galileo on hand. Gabriel's noggin is way too tiny to fit in with the rest of my crew, while Galileo is perfectly proportionate. My hope is that Raguel is more similar in size to Galileo than Gabriel, so it would be heavily appreciated to get some suggestions or references:kitty2
       
    2. I don't know if it will help but I just put my Raguel on an older Impldoll body. Let me know if you want to see.
       
    3. Which Impl body is it? I'm sure it could be helpful regardless :kitty1
       
    4. I think you've already seen a lot of my photos, but I'm going to post them here anyway for reference's sake. :XD: Even though I only have a hybrid Granado Michael, he's still from the same series as Raguel. Worst-case scenario, Michael's noggin' is as small as (or smaller than) Gabriel or Raguel, so these photos can give you a gist of what may or may not work. Note that I tend to employ some angle tricks to make head sizes closer to each other than they seem, so I've added some notes as to how they actually fare against each other.

      Granado Michael + IMPLdoll Azalea
      I no longer have my IMPLdoll Azalea, so I won't be able to take any further pictures. They could work together, but my personal issue was that Azalea's cranium was a little too large for my liking (and for his scale), so I had to reshell her. All my remaining photos of them together were taken at an angle precisely to help offset their cranium differences.

      Granado Michael + Iplehouse Scarlet (both hybrids)
      Scarlet is a touch bigger, but the difference is not so obvious because Scarlet's cranium wasn't as large as Azalea's.

      -- PUTTING THESE HERE JUST FOR REFERENCE, EVEN THOUGH THE REQUESTS WEREN'T SPECIFICALLY MENTIONED IN OP'S LIST. --

      Granado Michael + LoongSoul ZhuZhao
      ZhuZhao is one of the more recent LS releases, hence is more petite than the older (discontinued ones). ZhuZhao's head is actually bigger than Michael's, but they could still be photographed together and the scale is forgivable.

      Granado Michael + Fantasia Doll Vivian (+ artist doll Momo Studio Lulu)
      This is the biggest winner in the scaleability-o-meter because of FD Vivian's petite-ness. She's probably comparable to SoulDoll heads.

    5. Okay, I'm the third owner of this body (new Raguel head) which I just got recently. I'm pretty sure it's the 2016 body. I bought it as a custom color that matched Granado normal but Granado changed to much lighter after 2016 so that's why I think this is the age. There was no CoA. It turned out that I had to change the head color to match the body since I had that light normal. I like him darker better so all is good! I tried him on Dollshe Arsene but the shoulders looked small. He is a black belt Taekwondo and kpop choreographer. He has a younger cellist boyfriend (uses Arsene body). He's about the same size as my Arsene, 69cm. I hope any of this helps.
