25cm Gretels for the win!

My gals are eyehole heads so they chock up quite an amount of wigs. They are pretty much similar to their 27cm comrades except that when they kneel their knee to shin area shows a gap. But it allows for as close a kneel as possible. Since aesthetics is not a big issue with me, I okay with it.

You could see the gap in this picture. but if she's sitting the gap can be hidden with a bit of fiddling. Its only very obvious when she kneels.

I like 'em! The biggest complaint I have is that clothing is a bit "challenging" to find for the body size. I initially thought that Azone Pure Neemo M clothing would work but the fit has proven a lot more "hit or miss" in reality. I think the basic engineering is great but if the soft PVC torso was a bit more curvy and mature, that would be even better. As an experiment, I replaced the PVC torso on one of mine with parts from an Obitsu 27 cm SBH to create a curvier look. It work surprisingly well but I could see the clothes fit issue being even more of a problem. Also, it's obviously awfully expensive to do such a conversion since I don't *THINK* Obitsu sells the SBH body sleeves separately.

Most of my main female characters still use the Obitsu 27 cm bodies, especially the older SB series, but from a pure design and engineering standpoint, I like the 25 cm better. If I were just starting my collection today, I'd be really tempted to use the 25 as my primary female body type.

Here's Naomi, one of my 25 cm girls. You can see that her PNM jeans ended up being just a *bit* short. BTW, even though that's a steel mesh table top she's standing on, she doesn't have magnetic feet. She's posing on her own, without any props or stands. Just an example of how well engineered these bodies are.
