70 cm, 60 cm, 45 cm, Littles if this helps figuring out size differences. A 10cm difference puts the shorter doll at the taller doll's shoulders.

I might be flamed or something for saying this, but to be honest I find that as the dolls get more expensive, the skill of the artist tends to go up as well. Of course, this is definitely not always the case, but the anatomy tends to be better, and there is more detail in areas such as the breasts, collar bones, hands, feet, ect. The head doesn't end up looking too big for the body either.

I really do love Resinsoul though, they basically provide every kind of doll and every colour of resin too. I have two resinsouls, and I adore them-- however I did end up switching their heads for other heads such as fairylands. It's really just your own personal preference when it comes to the aesthetics.

But I do think it's terrible to judge someone because they buy cheaper dolls; it's rude and people who do it are really just ignorant.

No, one would assume for a more expensive item that the quality would be higher - that's true in anything, be it dolls, cars or can openers. A company who charges more but has low quality standards doesn't stay around too long, generally speaking. Still, it's no less rude for someone driving a Lexus to sneer at someone in a Ford than it is for someone who owns Volks to ridicule someone who loves Monster High dolls.

I completely agree, and it's really nice to see how different the dolls on the cheaper side look compared to their company photos with a good faceup and wig.
