SoulDoll mini dolls Soulkids Discussion part 6

I know it’s a bit of a long shot, but is there anyone here who have successfully hybridized a 1/4 NS boy head from Souldoll in terms of resin match and proportions? One of my grail dolls is a Souldoll boy, and I’ve found a head secondhand but he doesn’t have a body; I’m rather picky when it comes to bodies so I’m curious about what’s out there that might work?

 

@Fractal Other than my Woojin, all my other Souldoll Kids are hybrids. Keigo is a Joelle head on a Fairyland MiniFee body, Shin is a Bonnie on a Dream Valley 51cm body, and Rie is a Gana on a Bimong Narae 41cm Fusion body. Considering the big discontinuation event Souldoll had years ago, you'll probably find a lot of people with hybrids since they allowed you to buy just heads at the time.

I will say, I wasn't all that focused on finding bodies that matched in color with them since I just had my faceup artists color match them to their bodies (it costs extra with most artists, but so worth it when you don't want to deal with that portion of hybridding a doll ). So, can't really help you a lot there. Still, here's some comparisons images I have posted on Flickr.

Spoiler: Color Comparisons

Bonnie head in NS vs. Dream Valley Pink Skin


Gana in NS vs. Bimong Classic Normal (just fyi, you'd need to find Bimong bodies secondhand since he's retired from doll making now [other than orders he's still working on from his final preorder a few years ago]).

Unfortunately, I don't seem to have any images on hand of what the Fairyland color looked like compared to the head. Px

Proportion-wise, I think they all look great on their bodies. I think Keigo is probably the only one that I feel a little iffy about, and that's mostly just because the hands on MNFs are on the small side—the body itself he looks great on! That said, I had to shorten the neck from what it was originally since he had a bad case of giraffe neck.

But yeah, as long as you stick to mature minis, you really won't run into many problems finding a body the head will look suitable on. Just be sure to keep an eye on the neck circumference measurements!

 

This was all really, really helpful
I was lowkey dreaming about getting the 45 Fusion male Bimong body for my Souldoll head, but the boy bodies are virtually impossible to find because there are so few of them ToT I was also considering a Doll-Family-A body, which I honestly think kinda looks like the Souldoll body. I figured if I got it in Normal Pink there would be a chance to colormatch/blush the head to fit the body. From experience I know that Gem of Doll's Normal Pink is a really close match to Souldoll NS - I have a Linzy on the Gem Windsor body and she looks amazing with it

 

I have a few! Soul Doll heads tend to vary in size and shape a bit. What head are you looking at? For my hybrid boys, I'm using these bodies:

Soul Doll Kyron on a Doll Family H 1/4 Boy Body Ver.5 (Shao Xia). I like this hybrid a lot. The neck may be a little long. It works for my character though.

Pictures of Kyron on the body NSFW

Soul Doll Gana on a BonBon Galaxy Lime body. Another good hybrid, but this body isn't currently available. Gana is a girl head though, so it might not work as well depending on the head.

Soul Doll SuA on a Coralreef Whale Island 1/4 Boy Body Type A version. Again, not a Soul Doll Kid boy head (SuA is a Vito girl head), but similar in size. This is probably my favorite hybrid.

My SuA and Gana heads are out for faceups right now, but I have a Joelle, Charlie, and Kyron head if you want to see any of them on any of the bodies.

 

I recently purchased an NS Jaxtyn head, and I have actually been looking at that coralreef body as an option. I’m kinda picky about bodies; I prefer them with ‘visible knees’, but I also don’t want him to look too skinny coralreef and bonbon have really skinny limbs, which is why I’m currently leaning the most towards getting him a doll-family-a body (I linked to it in my previous post)

do you know if df-a and df-h use the same color palette? I was going to get their normal pink, I think

alternatively, do you think a soulkid head could work with a larger body, like this one? Doll Parts, Doll Family - BJD, BJD Doll, Ball Jointed Dolls - Alice's Collections I absolutely love the look of this body, but it’s much bigger than the Souldoll body

 

Oh congrats! I think that he's about the same size/shape as Singull's dolls and my dolls, so I think that any of our hybrids would work about the same for Jaxtyn. There is an exposed knee version of the Coralreef body. That's actually the version that I have because I prefer the visible knees, too.

I added some photos of my Kyron head on the Coralreef body and comparisons of the Coralreef and DFH body to my album.

I don't know if DFH and DFA use the same colors. I want to say that they do, but you could probably confirm with Alice Collection or whichever dealer you're going to use just to be 100% sure.

I really like that bigger body! Unfortunately, my instincts are telling me it's too big. Just based on the neck size. The Coralreef neck is 6.9 cm and the Shao Xia body neck is 7 cm.

eta, I think the DFA body will work great! I've never seen a DFA body in person, but the measurements seem right.

 

IIRC the two companies parted ways a very long time ago and no longer have anything to do with each other. I don't believe they are using the same casting facilities.
