Can't decide what doll i want! Help!

If it helps to decide, you may want to do some research on how the bodies move and pose.
Look for box opening videos, or reviews on mobility and poses certain bodies can do. That way you can compare not just the aesthetic, but also potential for how they look when posing for what you have in mind.
Depending on what you are looking for, and the doll artist, some bodies have more limited movement than others, and some joints look different in certain poses that photos won't always reveal.

Also might want to consider waiting time as well, and go with the shortest time.

 

I absolutely understand that same feelings of being overwhelmed by just having too many options.

I would say there are a few things to take into account. First thing that comes to mind is: What kinds of dolls do you want in your collection? Do you want dolls that fit in the same scale? Do you want a variety of different sizes? Do you want dolls that fit a certain aesthetic- be it realistic or highly stylized, creepy or super cute, etc? And of course it’s also okay to not know what you want out of your doll collection. It’s hard to know what dolls are like until you see them in person!

You can also help yourself by identifying certain traits you might not like in certain dolls. For me, most things smaller than your traditional 1/4 “MSD” scale isn’t for me. Not even slim minis. I can easily vet out sculpts if I know they don’t work in a certain size or scale.

One thing that is way more important to me now than it was when I was new to BJDs is poseability. One of my “must-haves” for bodies is mobility joints in the thighs. If I’m looking for a very specific body type, I might be able to overlook that. But if I see a body with single jointed arms… Nope. Not even going to consider it.

There’s also resin match and scale. Scale I think is less of a big deal when it comes to 1/4, so probably not a problem there. But would it bother you if there was gapping between the neck and head? Would it bother you if there was a difference between the color of the head and the body? If so, how much difference could you tolerate?

And I guess the most important yet elusive tie breaker: sheer vibes. Look at that head. Who do you see them as? What body would fit that kind of aesthetic/character? Would it help to look at others’ pictures of their dolls to see if you could image your head posing with a body in certain ways?

For the companies you mentioned, you really can’t go wrong with either of them. Though they do have fairly different degrees of “maturity” or developed bodies- Charm Doll being slimmer and slightly more grown, maybe a young teen. And Fairy Castle being relatively less lithe and maybe younger looking, like middle school age. I will say when it comes to joint aesthetics & mobility, I would have a preference for Charm Doll. But a Charm Doll BJD would be too slim compared to my collection of chubby, kid like MSDs. But I honestly don’t have many dolls that even come close to meeting all my “criteria” and I still love them all the same. I just have certain priorities over others.

Sometimes it’s just hard to pull the trigger if it feels like there’s no right answer. But if getting a body for this head is a serious goal if yours, I might even get a friend to help you pick a date, sit down, and just ~buy it~. Anyway, I hope some of this helps, if even just a little bit!

 

I recently chose a body for my floating head too and i had the same issue. I looked for resin matches, for neck circumference and owner pics with a similar hybrid (feeple60 head and other bodies).
I ended up going for a myoudoll body because i liked the aesthetic and use images indicated that the resin would match well. It is not an exact match, but it is quite okay, so I'm content.

I was almost going for a different body but the neck circumference prpbably was not going to fit, which is why i went for myoudoll.

 

Gotta say that both of my Mystic Kids bodies are solid solid solid and are lovely posers as well, so if the resin match is good, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Oh! Derp! I didn't ask what floating head you have! Care to share?

 

When I think of wait times, I think if it like getting a tattoo or piercing: it hurts to get it, but you’re putting up with the pain for the end result.

But it sounds like you’d be happy with either of them! Honestly, if you feel like flipping a coin would help you get through this indecisiveness then I’d say do it if you feel like it wouldn’t stress you out to commit to the result! Dolls are meant to be enjoyed, not stressed over!

I can’t tell someone *not* to be indecisive or second-guess themselves, but I will say that for me, when I’ve been debating over sculpts, I instantly forget about all my microscopic pros and cons when I see them next to totally different dolls.

 

I have hard time deciding on pretty much everything, and what may help you as it sometimes helps me: this is not a "life and death" decision. You don't have to buy the ideal doll body. You may change it later if you don't like it, or you may come to love it with all its imperfections.

Of course, sometimes not being able to decide means just that no option really clicks. I was looking for a body for my Minifee head, and I almost bought a Myou body, literally added it to cart and was going to press "pay", but suddenly realized that in this case the new girl would be the same height as my Doll Chateau one, or even higher, while I wanted her to be significantly smaller (but hadn't clearly known it before). So I removed that Myou body from the cart and started my search again, this time comparing the heights, but everything was just "not it". And then I saw a Leekeworld Art body at the second-hand market, and I immediately knew I must get it. Yellowed, singe-jointed, yet perfect for my girl. I really really love her on this body, love her posing and aesthetic, and her cute yellowed hands.

Phew, sorry for a long story. Overall, at this point I'd suggest to base your decision on emotions, not on ratio, since you already did your research. Good luck with getting your doll completed!
