Help!! My head won’t fit on my body LOL

Nov 2, 2024

    1. Update- the neck size of the head is actually 8.2


      Well not mine obviously. I got a second hand Wei JiuJiu this morning and it’s smaller than I had imagined. It’s 20cm and I believe the neck size is 9.6 so it won’t fit on the body I was planning to use, and it will also be too small on the granado body I have on layaway. Can anyone recommend a male body for this head? I like slim bodies ( think kpop style men). The head is light coloured (COA says milk skin). The body I have is 65cm and the proportions are wrong so I know it has to be smaller. I just don’t know how much smaller. I really like the head- it has little dimples!

    2. Hi,
      That title though, I swear we say the weirdest things in this hobby XD
      Not sure what size are you looking for but maybe you can look up these bodies

      Gem of Doll 1/3 Boy Body Ver.I (61cm) Neck size: 9cm
      Doll Zone 62cm Boy Body (B60-005) Neck size: 9.3cm

      Bigger bodies
      Dream Valley Body B70-01 (71cm) Neck size: 9cm
      Doll Zone 68cm Boy Body (B68-001) Neck size: 9.5cm

      I hope this will be somewhat helpful

    3. Thank you so much! I think 60-62 cm will be about right.
      Here’s another silly question- how do I measure the head size so I can see if it will fit on the neck? It’s an oval shape so I can’t work out how to do it.

    4. I have the Loongsoul 62cm boy body, and it would probably work well. The neck is about 9.5cm, shoulders are listed as 13cm. I think their 68cm body also has a neck that's 10cm or under if you want a taller boy. I don't have one that size, but have their similar 73 cm body and have found both bodies from them to be stable and good posers!

      I think the Ringdoll RGM4 body also has a neck of about 9.5 cm, shoulders are 14cm according to the listing. I do find the one i have isn't very stable, especially once he has shoes on- I think the ankles might not be the best engineered, but I think they wire all their bodies now, so it might work ok.

      There are probably a few different ways to measure the neck opening, but I'd probably just measure across it and look of a formula to figure out the circumference based on that. I think if it's within a half cm either way, it should fit on a body fine. You may want to look up what the original body's measurements were for the head you got, so you can compare shoulder widths too though. Too narrow or too wide shoulders could look off even if it fits the neck perfectly.

    5. I’ve not been able to find any information on the original body at all sadly. The coa says it’s a size 3 but that’s all lol.

      Thank you. I’ll take a look at both those. I’m annoyed the granado body won’t be right. I have a souldoll 65.5cm and the head looks too small in comparison so I think smaller is the way to go.

    6. The Resinsoul Cen body might fit, too. Not sure about the color, though. But they can color-match.
      Or just the old 1/3 boy body. That one is slightly more muscled. They are both in the link.

    7. Sooo update- I have been informed by someone who has the head too that the neck size is actually smaller at 8.2 and 8.8 is as high as I can go without needing to modify anything. So back to the drawing board we go. ( I didn’t have a tape measure hence not being sure). Is 50cm height going to be too small for this head do you think?

    8. Personally, I would probably still go with Resinsoul. They have great customer service and offer a lot of extra things. Two-headed dolls, four-armed dolls, any color, cyclops eye and so on and so forth, never a problem. Making a neck thinner should be a piece of cake. And they never charge much extra.

    9. Oh really? I’ll contact them and ask some questions. Thank you

    11. Some of the newer realistic sculpts look small for the doll irl for me (I'm just too used to the old school over sized Volks heads...Elf doll, Migi Doll, custom house, cp delfs for example). Is there a thread for that sculpt or that company? The migidoll discussion thread was a big help when I was deciding on alternative body options.
      If not maybe make a post saying in search of body suggestions for that head?

      Seeing some owner picks of how they've styled the doll could help a lot in figuring this out. I know from earlier that you hope for him to look like a particular character. So it's the right head, just need some more images to get you headed in the right body direction.
      And THEN you'll get to figure out what clothes are available that fit the body & the character!
      >\\\<
       
    12. There’s very little available online and what there is … is all girls I have seen a few photos and I have a rough idea of how I want him to look. I can make clothes myself so I’m not too worried about that. It’s just the body lol. I’m not a fan of small heads. My first doll was a Granado 30cm who has a tiny head and I love him but his head is too small in my opinion.
       
    13. Wish you could find a meetup or at least some bjd folks nearby irl to compare your head with various size bodies to figure out what direction go. I bought a new head a couple years ago because her features reminded me of my favorite Elfdoll. But when the head arrived, after waiting on production time, I couldn't begin to adjust to the proportions! It was intended as an SD doll, 63 cm girl I think, but to me seemed petite msd maybe but with mature features...since I really have too many dolls already it was easy to donate her to a fund raiser raffle. But I look forward to seeing how you solve the challenge.

    14. There’s nothing in my area at all sadly. If I could afford it I’d just buy a bunch of bodies but my bank account would not be happy so I need to be 99% sure before buying one. A few of the bodies I’ve seen have been a good size but too young looking, which is a shame.

    15. Going by neck size, I think Kids Sky 60cm has the smallest I can remember, the listing says it's 8.5cm. I don't have any experience of Kid Sky bodies so no idea how they are to handle or how accurate the measurements are.

      There are a few bodies with 9cm neck size like 2D 63cm and Doll Leaves V3 or True Love 54.6cm and Gem of Doll V1 but if the head's neck is only 8.2 then you'll need to do some sanding even with these!

      Unfortunately there aren't many 60cm male bodies with neck sizes under 9.5cm, I was also on the hunt for a smaller 60cm male body for a smaller head while back. I did take a look at 50cm range dolls but found the head looked too large on them so with a 20cm head I think it might the same issue. (I ended up using ALM 60cm but the neck is 9.5cm so too big for your needs)

    16. Hmm, i think the feeple 60 motion boy is in that range, but I don't know if you can buy just the bodies for Fairyland dolls. And the height is a little below 60cm. The Senior Delf Muse might work too, but It might be too close to the max of what could fit.

    17. Thank you. I found a lady who has the same head and she was using an impdoll body with a neck size of 8.8 and said that was the maximum it would take without modification so I do have a tiny bit of leeway as if it’s only a couple of mm I can probably just use sandpaper. Any more than that and I wouldn’t want to risk it. I feel like a 60cm body would be the perfect height but as you say bodies are hard to find in that size and the ones I have found look too childish. I want a mature body. I’ll keep looking and I’ll check the ones you’ve suggested.

      Thank you I’ll check both those out. I don’t mind sanding a little bit but if it’s more than a couple of mm I wouldn’t want to risk it.

      Out of all of these I like the 2d body the most and of course it’s the most expensive and slightly more than I wanted to spend

    18. Not sure if it's any help- but I own a Wei JiuJiu head. I have the head on a Dollmore Zaoll body. HERE is a (bad) photo of my girl on the DM Zaoll body- the boy doll next to her is a Joydoll Lai on a DM Theo 60cm body. I personally find that 60cm bodies (both female and male ones) are way too big for the Wei head- but of course that's a matter of taste...

    19. Oh that’s actually incredibly helpful. I think the 60 will be too big after all. Maybe a 55 ish body would be ok … I don’t mind the size tbh I just want the head to look right on the body and not have a bobble head or a pin head. I’ll look for the measurements of the zaoll body and see if I can find a similar boy body.
       
    20. Oh, I was checking something out and came across another body, Evantasy 61cm which has a 8.5cm neck, i'll pop it in the thread in case anyone else is looking for suggestions!

    21. This one would be perfect if it didn’t look so young. Ideally I need something more mature body wise but if I can’t find one this will be the next best choice I think

      Would this one be too short?And would the head be too big? I know the head on the example is smaller but personally I think it looks too small but would 20cm be too big? Aaaaah I wish I could visualise. I need someone to draw it or something

I don’t mind the height too much as long as the head won’t look too big on it.

    22. Hmm, hard to tell ...just from the first link it should work. But when he has a wig on it might look too big.
      Do you know the diameter of your head ...when you look at it from the front? Without the ears?

    23. From the front without measuring the ears it’s 6cm
       
    24. Tried something. Probably not 100% accurate, but it should look similar.

    25. Hmm I think his head is too big for that body. That really helped. I couldn’t work out how to do something like that.
       
    26. No problem.
      Yeah, it looks too big. I did another one, with the Resinsoul bodies. (I have the 1/3 boy body here, so I could get the exact measurements for the shoulders, hehe. I think the 60-62 cm range isn't so bad, after all.

    27. Thank you so much. I think I like the way he looks on the one on the left. Do you happen to know which one poses better? ( out of all these choices I still like the 2D body the best but it’s a bit too much for me)

    28. The one on the left is the Cen body, the newer one. It has the new joint system Resinsoul started using a couple of years ago. And definitely the better poser. There are some body reviews on Youtube. :)

    31. Hello, I've searched one the internet and found that someone put her on a impl 1/3 body and it fits not bad. Hope you find that useful !
       
    32. Hello I can only find a 65cm boy body from impl on their site and that’s too big. The smaller ones can only be bought as a full doll it seems. The girl bodies are available but he’s going to be a boy for me.
