My Fashion Miho arrived yesterday. She's one of the first in Iplehouse's new line of more mature-looking dolls in a smaller scale. It's something I'd been hoping for for some time, but now that she's here in person, I'm not sure what I think.
I tried some of my JID clothes on her just to get an idea of how she'll look, and some of it fits, while other stuff doesn't really work. Miho has the smaller bust option, but even still it's a lot bigger than my JIDs. Of course the clothes I tried on were made for small and medium chest JID. Miho also has a longer torso, so anything tight made for a JID will make an FID look out of proportion with legs way too long. Miho will need torso-hugging clothes with a lower waist.

She has very tiny eyes. They are just 6 mm, and I could barely make out what colour they were.
I think they are a dark turquoise green. It was a challenge to insert them. She has parted lips

I only have one size 5/6 wig at the moment, and have two more on order. I tried some more casual contemporary clothes on her - I borrowed Leona's pants and shirt. The stretchy pants fit, but are too short. The shirt is from a JID guy's pattern, so fits her fine. I think it's a better look for her, mostly because the shirt brings down the length of her torso, and shortens the length of her legs.

She is definitely more realistically proportioned than the JIDs,
but she's going to take some getting used to.

It's times like this I really need the doll to come with a face up.....but I much prefer
Charie's face ups to the Iplehouse ones. So that means getting the dolls blank.

She really needs a face up before I will know for sure what I think. I do know that this new size will not take over my collection, and I'm rather glad I didn't order one of the Fashion guys. When it comes to taking doll adventure photos, I still prefer my more dolly-proportioned JIDs. I'm not ready for the 'ultra-realism' this new line will require, so she'll likely end up a 'stand alone' doll. But you never know. Maybe this new size will grow on me.
