If someone who has access to actual, physical Liv dolls could give me some advice I'd really appreciate it!

I'm looking for a body for a head and thought Liv might be an option. The skin tone is a bit more tan than Obitsu normal and more orange. From what I can tell, Hayden, Sophie or Katie could be a possible match, but it's hard to get a good idea of the differences in skin tone from ebay photos, and they are not/were never sold around here... Any advice?

Two pics in two different kinds of (bad) lighting to give you an idea. The head in question (on a temporary body) next to an Obitsu normal:

Looking at her I'd say Katie. Katie has a bit more of a pink-yellow tone that you want. Hayden is almost white and Sophie is just a bit more flesh toned than Hayden. Daniela is almost Barbie regular. If it was me though I'd use a Disney Ariel articulated body if you can find one. That would be an almost perfect match. The new Fashionista Raquelle (Kayla) might work too if you get one of the ones that is slightly pinker. Those do vary a bit though. The first few were more white but the last two I've bought are very close to Ariel's/Katie's color which is more pink-white.

I second the suggestion of Katie. Hayden and Sophie would probably be too pale.

Thanks, both of you! I'll see if I can find a Katie (there seems to be more Sophies around, so I was kind of hoping she'd be the best match).

I forgot to mention I'm looking for a 25cm or shorter body, otherwise that sounds like a good idea.

I think I have all the skin tones of the Livs and also NS and WS Obitsus. I can snap a photo of them all together, but the only problem is where I have bought all my Livs second hand, I do not know their names.

Alexis-AA skin tone light brown eyes with just a bit of yellow green.
Hayden-Very Pale with hazel-grass green eyes.
Sophie- One shade darker than Hayden with light blue eyes.
Katie-Pale, but more pink-orange than Sophie or Hayden, bright emerald green eyes.
Daniela-Barbie tan, brown eyes.
Jake, he's got brown hair and sort of dark aqua eyes, but he's the only boy so it's pretty self evident....

Thank you Magkelly!! It helps somewhat, some of them I've already popped their heads off. xD I will get a pic up here probably tomorrow.

I've got a Katie on the way now, but good comparison shots are always useful!

Katie turned out to be a pretty good match! Not quite bright orange/yellow enough, but close enough. Better articulation and more age-appropriate proportions than the original body, too. I'm keeping her on this one for now.

ETA: pic!
