Why are so many boy dolls so girly?

    1. I don't have a problem with smaller dolls looking younger - what I don't like is the huge difference between perceived age (let's call it that) of those smaller dolls' bodies and heads/faces. I simply find it kinda disturbing when (to use an example from a few posts ago) the face looks like that of a 14-year-old boy and the body like that of a 25-year-old man. Not everyone likes SD-dolls (or the huge resin-hunks that are the mature-looking Iplehouse guys) and it's really hard to find MSD-dolls with mature-looking faces. I've tried. Mature-looking bodies - no problem. Mature-looking heads/faces - very hard to find. And the discrepancy between mature-looking body and childlike face/head just kinda creeps me out.

      (Note: Talking about male MSDs here. It's not that bad with female MSDs, actually - but I'm really not into girl-dolls ...)

    2. Actually, I find with a lot of female BJD's (both MSD and SD size) that there's a huge descrepency between the maturity of their face-sculpt and the maturity of their body sculpt - and I find it just as disturbing in the female dolls as in the males to have a childlike face on a mature-figured body.

      And, I can't believe this thread is still going! It seems like I started it aeons ago!
