Skin match for Delilah Noir

[EAB]

I love Delilah Noir's face, and I liked her pre-2010 body, but I really, really don't like the new one.
I'm wondering if I can put her head on a bjd body. Denver Doll Emporium sells Resin Soul bodies alone, and they also sell Impledoll bodies. Does anyone know if Delilah will match Impledoll's real skintone, or Resin Soul's coffee/light tan?
Delilah's normal skin is like Kish's 14" dolls. I have one of those, but have no idea what Resin Soul light tan or Impledoll real is like.
Can anyone help?
Otherwise, I guess I'll just have to try to find a pre-2010 Delilah on the secondary market. I actually got one that was described as perfect, but had a broken knee joint. The seller took her back, but now I have to start over.
Thanks.

Depends on the Delilah. Dark and Defiant is a sickly grey color - doesn't go with ANYTHING. She's the only one I have though so I can't help much

[EAB]

No, I mean the normal skintone, but thanks, Greyhaunt.
I usually love the pale ones, but I heard Delilah's pale skin was sickly gray. Too bad. She's so lovely.

It isn't so much the skin match as that Delilah is MUCH smaller than the MSD 1/4 BJD size. Significantly so. I think the heads would look pinheaded on a Resinsoul body. The only doll of a comparable size is Minifee, and you probably don't want to pay that much.

Significantly so. I think the heads would look pinheaded on a Resinsoul body.

Unless you put the head on a 1/6 RS body... though that would cut her height a bit, I think the proportions would be about right, head to body wise.

No, her head is the same size as Lan's, so she will work fine as a 1/4. She takes a size 7 wig, like Lan.
My problem is trying to see what skintone will work with her.
After looking at bjds, all American vinyl, like Delilah and Kish, looks really brown to me; that's why I asked about Resin Soul light tan and Impledoll real skin. Real skin looks light in photos, but so does Delilah's natural color.
I have Lan, and her body is beautiful, even if it does drive me crazy kicking. I have Gang in normal skin, which is way too light.

The RS/BBB light tan is kind of the same color as coffee with milk added. As it ages it takes on a more golden tone and can darken - so while short term it may work, long term would be something different entirely. It's also notoriously inconsistant from batch to batch. At one point I had two dolls that color and they didn't look alike tone wise at all.

[EAB]

Thanks, Greyhaunt. That's really helpful. So, no Resin Soul light tan. I guess that means Impledoll real skin--unless I get another Resin Soul color and just paint Delilah's entire head to match it. Hmmmm.

I took down my Delilah and my smaller BBB Ju and did a side by side comparison. The top of the head is visibly smaller, though since that is covered up by a wig, that probably wouldn't matter to you, and you could add size by stuffing the wig, I suppose.

[EAB]

Well, I think Ju's head is larger than Lan's, isn't it? She's listed on JS as 43cm and Lan as 41. I think all the 43cm heads on JS are a little larger.
Here's a picture of Delilah, Lan and normal skin Gang for a size and color comparison:

I think Delilah's head is even a little bigger than Lan's, so I don't think she would look like a pinhead. But see how brown she looks? That's why I was thinking of light tan, or Impledoll real skin.
The Delilah in this picture is one I bought on eBay. She has the old body, and was sold as being perfect, but her right knee is damaged and won't bend, so I returned her. It's hard to find the old body, and I don't like the new one, so I thought about putting her head on a ball-jointed body. She has the same skin as Kish dolls.
I'd appreciate any help anyone can give me.
