hybrid question...?

[Sock and Awe]

I'm kinda in love with the monster high bodies I haven't had a chance to see all the girls skintones yet. I was wondering if anyone knew if the lighter one I'm thinking Draculara might match a Basaak coin bank head?

Draculara is light Barbie pink, the Basaak is more of a normal flesh tone. Without having one I can't say who she matches but if it's close to Blythe then it's close to an Obitsu or Volks normal flesh tone.

I don't think a Monster High body wouldn't stand up, literally, under a head that big. Their knees don't exactly lock. The bodies normally used have click knees but you can pop them on just about anything with a 1/6 scale neck.

The proportions might be good though

That's what I was afraid of her being too pink in tone hmmm... *looks at KD's link* Oh Awesome that is a monster high body! So it might be doable depending on the weight of the head. Hers is resin... Oh well won't know until I try it out. Either way I want a CCE of sorts so its worth a shot even if I end up going a different route with the body.

I would recommend order the head first, and check seller feedback there's been some trouble with a couple of them lately.

Once you have the head it will be easier to compare. I knew Blythe was "normal" but when she arrived she matched a lighter skin tone than I was expecting. If I didn't have the body she's on now, the same as a Teen Skipper from the 90s, I would have taken her in to a toy store and looked for anything that matched.

Yeah that's a good idea, I researched a bit and found what seems to be the recommended seller so far and I've got my eye on one. I might go ahead and get the doll instead just so she can start with a body but I know I'll want to change it out to something better. *shrug* I'm most likely going to wait until next month so I may just stick with my original plan and color both parts purple or something and make her a fairy if the body will work. I've got my little cleo to wear a supper curly size six Leeke world wig that is pretty heavy and she still manages to stand so it may.

Blythes actually come in a range of skin tones. Cleo actually has a better chance of matching a Blythe than Draculaura.

I hadn't seen any tanned ones. I am planning to use this one

or one like it unless there are similar ones in price range that might have the skin tones I'm looking for. I can always dye/airbrush whatever I figure anyhow if I want to but I would prefer a paler doll if possible.
