Hello, I'm just wondering if anyone has had the slightly crazy idea to put their Volks msd/sdm head on a smaller scale 1/3 girl body(any company) and if you found anything that kind of works? Thanks!
I looked up Volks msd hybrid and found a lot of old posts you can go through. /search/5794259/?q=Volks+msd+hybrid&o=relevance
@QuietYurei I remember getting into this idea when I wanted to get a Doll Chateau body, because they're made for smaller heads. This thread has some Volks but it's ancient and a lot of the images are gone.
When you say smaller, do you mean slimmer, like the Dream Valley B56-01, or a shorter body? Volks 1/3 girls are already some of the shortest 1/3 girls out there with dolls trending taller and the 60cm girl size being very common – SD10 girls sit at about 54cm. Another consideration for this potential hybrid is the vast majority of Volks mini heads are very child-like in appearance with large eyes (average of 16mm, some even take 18mm). The average 7-8 wig size head of a Volks mini might technically be the same size as other dollmakers' 1/3 heads, but the eye size and and facial features might not work with a more mature body. Quick and dirty phone photos, but here's SDM Mako (16mm eyes) on the Dollmore Youth Eve body (57cm with head according to Dollmore): Spoiler: With wig I tried this hybrid because Dollmore Youth girls have a 7-8 head like Volks minis, and have a long thin neck. An issue I encountered with trying this head & body combo was the body's s-hook was too big to fit inside the head, which is another consideration to think about. I hope some of this info was helpful!
