Someone on one of my Yahoo groups was asking about the difference between the GLOW Real Skin, and the standard Real Skin. She wanted know if there was much of a difference, and if it was worth the extra $50, and if anyone had any pictures of the two resins together.
Well, I'd ordered two real skin dolls last year when Iplehouse discontinued their sculpts; a JID 'I' in GLOW RS, and BID Chloe in standard RS. When they arrived, I was rather disappointed because I honestly couldn't tell the difference. They looked exactly the same to my eyes. Although after a second look 'I' did seem a touch darker and redder.
When Charie painted them, she said there was a difference after she applied the first coat of sealer.
Anyway, I took the two dolls outside this morning for a picture....

Isis ('I') seemed somewhat redder, but I thought maybe the bright blue sky was messing with their resin colours, so took them down to the studio for photos with more controlled lighting....
Yes, Isis is definitely a little darker, and redder. But it's hard to judge if she's really that much more 'translucent'. I guess people will need to judge for themselves if the extra cost is worth it.
