Iplehouse CREAA Doll

Here is the head comparison I promised. Left to right we have WithDoll Emma (normal skin), WithDoll Angela (got her in trade so I'm not sure of the color--it looks dark gray to me), Model Delf Annette (normal skin), and MiniFee Lishe (natural skin). Emma and Annette look like a good color match, except both have faded slightly, Annette more so than Emma. I don't have a neck adapter, so Lishe's head is barely balancing on the neck. The other heads fit without adapters. As far as wig size goes, Emma and Annette wear 6-7, Angela wears 5-6 (or 6-7 with a wig cap), and Lishe wears 7-8.


Sorry the photo is somewhat out of focus.

 

@Helgovochka - Not only is the head bigger, but it makes the neck look extremely long and thin.

 

That explains why the body proportions look different. If the ankles line up evenly--and it appears they do--then the Psyche body's shoulders are lower than the newer body's shoulders. I want to say the Psyche neck is longer, but it's hard to say for sure because of the outfit on Sara doesn't show all of her neck. It looks as if Iplehouse modified the body slightly after Psyche's release.

 

Unintentional duplicate.

 

Here is a close-up of the same photo of the MDF Annette head on the CREAA-J girl body. Annette is 2 years old, so I don't know how well the colors will match with a newer head. I'm thinking of buying the Lazuli head, too. That sculpt wasn't available when I ordered my MDF girl.

 

@Helgovochka - The head sits very well on CREAA's neck. No adapter or modification is needed.

The Model Delfs are near a window, but that window has fully lined dark drapes referred to as blackout curtains. The sun never reaches the corner where I keep the dolls, so I wouldn't expect that much fading. (Didn't expect it, but it happened anyway.)

 

@Iron_Dog - I read somewhere once that fading begins from the moment resin is first exposed to light. In other words, you take the doll out of its box, dress it, take photos, undress it and put it back in the box--and the chemical change has already begun to work its nefarious magic. Like you said, sometimes the color change is mellow and even. Other times, not so much. I bought a doll from another company several years ago that was supposed to be Korean Ivory. The doll arrived a peachy pink. Over the years she has mellowed to a lovely ivory. It's uneven, but she is finally the color she was supposed to be. She definitely came from an unstable batch. Not to scare anyone, but you never know which it's going to be.

 

A larger head does make a body look different. I noticed when I put together my composite photo that Lishe's big head made the CREAA neck look much shorter.

 

@Helgovochka - You earn points every time you make a purchase. If you don't use them, they accumulate. As you place an order and go through the checkout process, look down the page until you see Points. You'll see how many points you have, along with a space where you can tell Iplehouse how many of those points you want to use with the current purchase. It then subtracts that number from the amount you need to pay. (It's a discount.) I think you need to accumulate a certain number of points before you can use any. It might be 10 or 15, I don't remember exactly. I never use my entire amount at once; I like to leave some to use with a future purchase in case I need it.
