1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

8.5CM head on 7CM Neck? Does it work? [HELP]

Jan 3, 2012

    1. [[I will move this if it's in the wrong place. Again.]]

      So,

      I started collecting BJDs and I [now] have a D.Maillo Head [Soul Kid size], right? I was wondering if Illusion Spirit Bodies [1/4 size] could fit on a SoulDoll head and look normal. Since I need to stick to my budget [which is under $250] if it doesn't.

      Suggestions? Pictures? Since I need to know what it would look like. [/If it helps, the Soul Doll head is 8.5CM, and I cannot find any necks over 7CM that I like...]

      Thank you. :hamster:

      *Edit-

      I'll give you a list of sites I checked already to see if he could match the bodies with:

      [Im just hoping 7Cm works! Please tell me if it does!]

      Edendoll - Found one, but the doll's neck was 6.5cm neck

      Dollzone - 7.5CM

      Resinsoul - right size neck, but I wasn't attracted to the body at all. AT. ALL.

      Illusion Spirit - 7CM

      FairyLand - 7Cm

      SpiritDoll - 10CM

      Dollmore - 7.6CM

      HyperManiac - doesn't say.

      Dream of Doll - 7.6, and out of my budget after shipping.

      There were a couple more I went to, but I can't exactly remember at the top of my head right now...
       
    2. It can work, although you might need some alterations done to either the opening
      at the bottom of the head or the neck.It could be something simple or a permanent
      modification but it is possible to do – there might also be no need any alterations at all.
      Sadly I don't own any of the bodies you mentioned or a SoulDoll Double-sized head
      to be of any substantial help on that subject.

      Whether it will look okay or"normal" as you say, it's a matter of personal preference.
      I personally, would never go for a smaller neck because I do not like how the heads look in proportion.
      I find SoulDoll sculpts to have aproportionate head-to-neck ratio (that's not often the case with most
      of these dolls) and I find that their heads usually look great in neck sizes similar or larger to their default bodies.
      However that might be different for you, so a smaller neck might look "normal" in your eyes – it's just amatter
      of opinion on that one. (:
