Exact height measurement for SD13 girl body? SD10 Mimi head related

Jun 24, 2006

    1. Hi

      I read the SD10 faq that was linked on the faqs and link section of the forum but it doesn't mention the measurements for SD13. As for the faq on the Den of Angel website, it only has the comparison photos.

      I know that the old skin SD10 girl body is 57cm and the pureskin, 55cm.

      Does anyone have the height measurements for SD13 girl body, both pureskin and old skin?

      Does the SD13 girl neck, both oldskin and pureskin, longer than the SD10 girl oldskin and pureskin?


      What is the difference in thickness of the neck for SD13 girl pure skin and oldskin body?


      The reason I'm asking is that I've ordered a Mimi pureskin head (I've never bought a doll before, this is my first time buying, I'm just a beginner and know nothing about dolls) and want to buy an SD13 body to match it. The reason I want an SD13 over SD10 is because I want the biggest SD girl doll I could get. If only SD10 is as big as SD13, then I wouldn't get SD13, I like my dolls young.

      I would like to get the proportions right with a pureskin SD10 Mimi head on a SD13 girl body. Which type of SD13 body is more proportioned, oldskin or pureskin?

      As you see, I've seen a few pictures of this similar combination from a member who posted on this section of forum using a SD10 Mimi head, I think it was an oldskin SD10 Mimi head and an oldskin SD13 body (can't remember sorry)?

      However, the neck seems a bit too long, maybe the neck of the SD13 body is too thin?

      I would appreciate if someone who own these combination post out their pics.

      If nothing else, I may have to settle for an SD10 girl body.

      Thanks for reading.
       
    2. If I understand you correctly, you are wondering which body you should get for your pureskin SD10 Mimi head?

      You prefer someting that is youthful (not to bosomy or curvy) but is a bit taller?

      This is what I can tell you:

      • A SD girl measures 55 cm with head. A SD13 girl measures 56.5 cm with head.

      • The is very little differendce between the pureskin SD girls and SD13 girls bodies' necks. Heads are interchangable, you can put SD heads on SD13 bodies and vice versa without problem.

      • The diffence between oldskin SD and SD13 bodies were significant, SD13 bodies had very slim, swan like necks. I don't think SD and SD13 heads were interchangable, at least it probably looked odd.

      • Both purskin standard SD13 girls and purskin Limited Edition SD13 girls have L breasts. To find a S or M breasted purskin SD13 body you'll have to watch Yahoo! Japan for a while - they aren't common, but they do pop up from time to time - or split a FCS order with someone who just wants a head, since FCS is the only current source of SD13 bodies with bosom sizes other than L.

      • That said, Volks L breast is far frome huge! Quite petite, in fact. The SD13 girls are meant to portray young girls, after all.

      This is what a pureskin SD10 4sister head (Megu in this case) looks on a pureskin SD13 body with the standard L breast:

      I think you would probably be quite pleased with the standard pureskin SD13 body for your girl. It also has the added bonus of being in pureskin just as your head is, and it is more easily avalible.

      Good luck with whatever choice you make! :daisy
       
    3. Thanks for answering.

      It's nice that you have shown the pic, if only you could also include SD10 pureskin/oldskin body and SD13 oldskin body both with SD10 head in the photo, that would make a comparison easier to distinguish, but that is saying alot.

      It seems that an SD10 oldskin girl body is 0.5cm taller than an SD13 pureskin girl body based on your measurements. If only I knew the measurements to an oldskin SD13 girl body would I make a better decision. Now what if I changed the legs of an old skin SD10 girl body to longer version legs. How would that measure?

      Likewise an oldskin SD13 girl body with longer legs?


      I would like to know the total measurements for those.
       
    4. Well, I haven't got any oldskin dolls, so no joy there I'm afraid!

      If I were you, I wouldn't take the 57cm measurement for oldskin SDs' to the bank. Measurements seem to get inflated... Oldskin SDs are taller than purskin SDs, but I really doubt that the difference is 3 cm! It is likelier to be a 1-1.5 cm difference.

      You could order a FCS girl with a SD torso but SD13 legs. Or, as I said previously, a S busted SD13 girl.

      I don't think changing the legs of an oldskin SD would be the best option, the oldskin SD leg mechanics is diffent from other legs.
      But if you are determined you might get an oldskin SD body and an oldskin SD13 body and switch the legs... But then you need to get two bodies, and hope you can get your money back when you sell the oldskin SD13 body with SD legs... Not the easiest course of action, I would think. :sweat

      The best hight comparison between purskin SD and SD13 girls I can offer is these pictures of Yume and Himeno on their proper bodies:

    5. Comparison shots of oldskin and pureskin SD bodies:
      http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showpost.php?p=334998&postcount=8

      The oldskin body seems gargantuan in comparison. =^^=;;
       
    6. First, you CANNOT switch oldskin 10 and 13 legs around unless you're using the optional leg parts. The oldskin 13 legs have a "butt hook" for locking while the standard release sd10 legs just have GIANT ball joints.

      Also, heads with the girls are completely interchangable whether their 10, 13, oldskin or pureskin. ^_^ My nono 13 has a bit of a neck gap between the head and the body, but it's not very large at all and I can't imagine any other oldskin 10 heads having any larger of a gap. The resin match is darn near perfect between the skins as well. ::points to her MSD Toppi pureskin head on an old resin MSD boy body::

      Finally, if you're even considering FCS, you may wish to go with a B-02 body with longer legs. The B-02 bod is a slightly thicker waisted and waist jointed SD10 body. It's the same torso offered with the suwarriko 10 girls. It's small busted and very cute and childish. SD13 girls do look just a bit older than their 10 sisters. Mine (oldskin small bust SD13 girl) looks like she's about 16.
       
    7. Yes, there is a distinct hight difference between the oldskin SD and the pureskin SD - but I don't think it's actually 3 cm! My guess would be 1,5 cm actual difference.

      As you can tell from the pictures of Himeno and Yume above: a 1,5 cm hight difference is a rather large difference. ;)
       
    8. Thanks for replying with helpful information and photos, Quiet Queen.

      VulpesPraedatum, you mention the gaps between the head and body, now that is something to ponder about, do you mean the gap between SD10 head and SD13 Body or the otherway around?

      But thanks for sharing helpful information. :)
       
    9. Oldskin SD13 girls had much slimmer necks than oldskin SD girls - and all pureskin girls. If you put a oldskin head or any pureskin head on an oldskin SD13 body, the head hole will be larger than the neck you stick into it. Thus there will be a gap between neck and head - but it isn't supposed to be huge in any way.
       

    10. I'm so glad I found this thread, this is exactly what I was concidering doing!! :)

      Can I be annoying and ask a question though: could you tell me the measurement around her bust??
      I've been wondering just what size bust my SD13 body is and I thought that maybe it was medium or small, but looking at this picture maybe it could be large.... (I thought large would be errr bigger..)

      Thanks!!:sweat
       
    11. Yes, you do expect an L bust to be on the large side, don't you? :lol: I measured it, and the circumference is 25 cm.
       
    12. Thanks Quiet Queen!
      Hrmmm, my girl is just a little under 24cm..
       
    13. Hi i hope you can help i am thinking of getting a volks 13 body but i can not found a neck size measurement?
       
    14. Sorry I didn't notice sooner, the circumference of a Volks SD/SD13 pureskin girl is 9.5 cm.

      For those interested in the difference between the pureskin and oldskin SD13 girls' necks I offer this image:
      [​IMG]
      Have a look at the neck of the pureskin SD13 Cyndy in the middle of the top row and compare it with the neck of the SD13 oldskin F08 standing to the right of her....


      Also a slightly newer SD-next-to-SD13 picture, notice that the SD13 girl in black has thicker soles on her shoes than the SD girl has...
