Which do you prefer: Buying heads and bodies separate or complete dolls?

Complete dolls, easily. That said I DO have two floating heads since one is a head I bought on discount sale since I needed that head for a modding project, and the other one because its's a male head I was planning on using on a female body.

 

Complete dolls. Im too lazy to find a matching head for a headless body. A full doll ismless hassle and i don't have to worry about thier skin tones matching either :3

 

I like to buy complete doll and with face-up from company too.
I'm too impatient to wait separately for doll's head/body. One month wait time is already hard for me XD

 

I like the doll choice that Iplehouse offers so you can mix and match sculpts and body features.

 

I like buying heads and bodies separately. Buying a complete doll is easier for sure, but I like having different options for bodies, especially if I have something really specific in mind for that character. It takes some extra research and makes things a bit more complicated (resin match, proportions, etc.), but I think it's so worth it to have a doll that is exactly what you want.

 

I prefer a complete full doll.

 

I also prefer complete dolls, event heads being an exception.

 

I like complete dolls because I everything at once and its a 100% match. However, it can be a lot cheaper to buy a head with a different companys body.. The problem is the neck girth and color match. I've still yet to buy seperate, but I have plans.

 

In a perfect world I would like to buy complete dolls, but unfortunately that isn't this world lol. I have only bought 1 doll complete so far. All of my others have arrived to me separate. It is usually just because I will see someone selling a head sculpt that I want, so I will end up buying the head, and then having to search for a body for it. That or they are selling a whole doll but I don't like one aspect of it (the head, the bust size, etc) so I buy it whole and then resell the part I don't like. Its a hassle, but its nice to buy them separate if you know there is something about the full one that you don't necessarily like. But in a perfect world they would all come exactly as you would like them lol

 

I do prefer to buy complete dolls, my first doll was complete. But my 2nd is a floating head currently, been a hard job trying to find a body I like that will match in resin tone and size of the head.. it is quite frustrating. I think I'd rather just get a full doll and save myself the hassle and worry of the body not matching the head when it comes.

 

I go for hybrids 90% of the time. I want the body to be as good looking as the head, and I like a good poser. I'm jealous, though, of how easy it is to buy a full doll, because there's a guaranteed match and there's no awkward wait time where you have a body sitting around without a head because it hasn't arrived yet

 

I prefer to buy my own choice of head, body & parts plus whatever wigs,outfits or other gear they have. You always have a dislike or something you like from the other doll set being offered. Usually it's better to buy from the same company so matching with the same skin color is not a problem. Then your shipping cost does make up of the cost too. I usually do it in layaway cause it's gonna be months to arrive. But sometimes doll choices does not permit it.

 

I'm getting more and more into customizing dolls, as I hope to one day actually make my own. This means for me I am leaning more toward either a whole doll, but unpainted or unpainted separate pieces. I also sew or crochet my own clothes. The thing I want to do next is make my own wig and wig cap.

 

well i would prefer to buy a whole doll i dont think i'm brave enough to do a hybrid

 

Complete dolls are by far my preferred option.

(Resin matching does my head in!)

This isn't to say I don't have a few hybrids, as I do, but my definite preference is for the doll to come complete. (And, yes, this also stretches to arriving already face-upped!)

 

For me... most of the time it would be a full body but I love the idea of hybrids. So I am looking at bodies & heads for future projects.

 

it depends, i only like loongsoul's body so if the face sculpt is not from loong soul i would most likely just buy the head only or i will buy the whole body and sell the body.

 

I will definitely always go for complete dolls. I would always worry that the resins may not be a good match and that I might procrastinate and not get around to buying the necessary body or head!

 

I prefer to get the heads than a whole doll cause most of the time I don't like the original bodies that they come with, plus matching heads to bodies is super easy!

 

I gravitate toward complete dolls so the skin all matches but that being said, one of my favs is a hybrid because I could only afford the head at the time and I was afraid it was going to be discontinued. Turned out to be great because the body was a better match aesthetically.
