I haven't done one of these in a long time, but I figured I should since DZ says that the older heads don't fit on the new bodies...

:O a pearly white box. Now I have this one, the black one, and the purple one. haha

This is cool, it's card and you can write their birthday on the back. A booklet on care is also inside.

Hiiiiiiipppps <3 I love his little feet, he is so dainty and so detailed. He poses amazingly too! I also really liked these pillows, it's one big one with ties on the side.

annnnd a side view. The neck is just a smidgen too big for the hole on the head. This neck is a LOT bigger and wider than the old single joint body. Poseability isn't much of an issue, however. When posing the head you can feel where it doesn't catch on the neck. Once or twice I had the head snap around. I may sand it, but honestly I think a little sueding will help with the traction.

(so yellow!) Doll on the right is a DZ Megi in WS; from '08 lol

So...*is confused*...will old heads fit on the new body or not? If you sanded either the neck or the hole, would they fit?

Thank you everyone! And yeah, Echo had a massive skin tone change. I got him new at Junkyspot in July of '08. This Fei is actually the new Echo (my megi). If that makes any sense? xD; I had originally wanted him to have an opened eyed face on the new body, and also be able to switch back and forth between heads... but that went out the window when the Fei came home. I knew Echo had yellowed, but I didn't realize how much. I've already started modding the Fei head, and it's wonderful. Echo looks older now, I feel like he has grown up a bit. <3

@cirquemom: Ahhh, sorry. They do fit, fine really. I think that some one who was SUPER picky would want to sand the neck a teeny bit or suede the neck hole. Most of the time the head catches, sometimes it doesn't.

I'll do a picture comparison here in a little bit to show what I mean. (I'm sure what was confusing was when I said there was a big difference in the size of neck) You will just have to wait for my son to take a nap. xD

From the front:

Ohh, looks like the single joint has a wider neck, right... well...

Not when viewed from the side. Pretty big difference. I'm not sure how much of one though, I seem to have misplaced my fabric tape measure..
Basically, the really old heads were just a bit big on the old bodies. Seems like people who have the newer older heads (Jake, Luke, Lola etc) don't have an issue at all. So maybe it's just their very old sculpts that do (Megi, Mo, Ray, TinTan etc).

Some one on the DZ discussion thread on DoA said they changed the way the b45-09 body was made so that it would fit the older heads. I don't know where they got this info, it could just be a he said, she said kind of deal. Maybe I got an older B45-09 body (I did order in May)? I don't know.
