There's been a lot of discussion lately on DOA as to what ages we see our dolls, so I took this photo to illustrate "scale", and why I think the JIDs and BIDs don't fit with the larger dolls scale-wise. Here's all of my Iplehouse family, except Asa (SID) who is away getting her body blushed.
Back row: EIDs Carina and Tedros, JIDs Kyle and Asa
Front row: BID Elin, JID Isar, BIDs Nami and Byuri
Some people combine all the sizes into one family with JIDs and BIDs being children to the much larger EIDs and SIDs. Problem is, the JIDs are waist-high to Tedros, and that's the height of a 4-6 year old, not a child of 8-10. Just to prove my point, here's a photo of my 6' son with my 4 and 5 year old granddaughters. They are waist-high. Taller compared to their Mom who is shorter.

Of course, the dolls are very customizable, so if someone chose a very young looking JID sculpt and gave him or her a young faceup and clothing, they might be able to pull it off. However the BIDs are way too mature looking to be a young child to an EID as they are scale-wise the size of an infant.
My JIDs are definitely too old-looking to be children to the larger dolls. In fact Isar looks to be about the same age as Carina, just a lot smaller scale. Kyle and Asa look to be mid to late teens. BIDs come to the waist of a JID, so I consider them to be 4-5 year olds with my JIDs.
I just solve the scale issue by keeping my taller and smaller dolls separate. The JIDs and BIDs go great together, and the new KIDs just released by Iplehouse will fit nicely in between.
