Twilight guys on Volks/Obitsu?

Just wanted to check: has anyone here tried rebodying one of those pale Twilight guys onto a volks or obitsu? And if so, how well did the skintones match? I don't have one (yet), but from what I can tell they're really pale.

I have a Victoria. I'll check her against one of my pale Obitsus and get back to you.

Deadwood is very close to my white Obitsu Slim, Volks white is comparable. A light Neo Goh is too dark.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I checked now and realized volks don't actually make any pale male bodies like I thought... So if they really are that pale obitsu seems like the only option for the gentlemen. If it's not too much trouble it would be great to know how the girls match obitsu white too, since those are easier to get a hold of for me.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Obitsu boys are sooooooooooooooooooooooo thin especially in the neck so it'll result in a huge bobble head I think I can put Barbie heads on it but not the Collector Ken dolls. Slim Obitsus are more so teenaged boy bodies than adult men so even though the males do match the Obitsu pale skin tone the parts wouldn't work together

Thanks, I was afraid of that. I finally found a pic of a similar ken/obitsu, and it doesn't look quite right:

(The fact that the search results weren't an unending flood of articulated Edward hybrids probably should have tipped me off. :P)

Damn, I relly wanted that to work. No other suitable body donors out there?

You can start searching for 1/6 male bodies and make a list of those who have knobs on the top of their neck. The problem will be in the skin tone department. I've only seen Triad Shamploo, expensive and possible bobble head, and the occasional Star Wars character anywhere close to white.

Some Medicom bodies could work, my Tobey Spider-Man has a head without a neck, the Hot Toys True Type does too but he's much beefier. You can look up neck adapters as well.

There is a long list of people looking for a body that matches the skin tone.

I didn't think about the bobble factor. The skin match is good, IMO

I have the Lea faced Dakota Fanning character and am now considering rebodying her on an Obistu body since she's light as a feather and stiff as a board. XD

I think I'll shelf this little project, since I was mostly after the Tango face guys and I think cheerleader ken has that sculpt too. Thanks for the suggestions anyway! Good to know the girls match obitsu white, too.
