Dollieh Sanctuary

Hello!

I recently bought a Lightning from Miro Doll, and both the body and head have great potential - I was mostly smitten with the head. But they're not great together, and there's the rub.

The head is pretty big, and looks too big for the body. It also doesn't seem to fit the neck properly.

Here's a picture of her, so you can see what I mean:


In this picture, I've only put the head against her neck instead of putting it on properly, because reattaching it was a struggle.
When it's properly put on, a bit of the neck is obscured by her large neck indentation, so it also makes the neck look a little short for such a big head. The diameter of the indentation is also large enough (compared to the neck diameter) that the head won't pose properly.

SO, to my question! Can anyone point towards a larger girl body that would fit the scale of this head?
Any help is appreciated!

(Disclaimer: I'd like to make it clear that I don't actually think it looks stupid. I just prefer more realistic proportions when it comes to head/body ratios in dolls that I intend to look like adults. I'm not bashing big heads or anything.)

aww, bummer. I see what you mean. She could always have 80s style shoulder-pads to build her up. hahaha... j/k. I had a little problem with the proportions of the female MSD Mirodolls. Things just weren't quite right. I've got the Thunder, but I didn't pay attention to his head vs. his body. Now I want to go check that.

Good luck finding a body. From what I recall of mine, the female 1:3 Mirodoll is pretty stout. I think most of the other ladies on the market are going to be more dainty. But I'm just thinking the usual 50-62cm range. Maybe you can find a 68 or 70cm lady that will support the head? You might like the Dollmore models, I think they're pretty tall.

The Resinsoul Lian body is a 68 cm and should support that head very well. Resinsoul bodies are about the same price range and mobility of the Mirodolls.
