Frankendolls, or Musical Heads

Lonnie and Kassia finally arrived today. They are both blank normal skin. I love the new KID body, and since Iplehouse gives everyone the option of choosing any of the JID heads on a KID body, I thought I'd satisfy my own, and so many other people's curiosity, and see how they looked - even though the skin-tones don't match. I marked the background with masking tape so I could crop in and make each image of each doll the exact same size in order to better compare.

What a group!!!  Kassia and Asa's heads look way too big. Both those sculpts are the 7.2" diameter heads. Isar's head is smaller - 6.7" like Lonnie - but her sculpt is way too mature for the KID body. However the size looks okay. Just for fun I tried a Narae head too, and it's probably the best of all of them.  So, now all of them again, but with the same wig on....

Well, with wigs on they do look a bit better. Kassia's head is still too big looking. Isar's head size is okay, so the other 6.7" Iplehouse sculpts would probably work, although the neck does look too long. Personally I think Narae works best of all of them.

I was also very interested to see how a BID head would look, but it turns out it's impossible to put a BID head on a KID body. The two dolls have oppositely engineered neck joints. Whereas the KID, and all larger dolls, have a rounded dome-shaped neck, and a concave hollow in the base of the head, BIDs are the opposite with a ball protruding from the bottom of the head, which fits onto the concave neck.

Now I have to design some KID patterns so I can make Lonnie something to wear while she goes away to be painted.
