Victoria Needs A New Body...Help?

[magkelly]

I'm probably going to have to go to an Obitsu body for Twilight Victoria. The lightest articulated bodies I have just do not work for this vamp. She's not all sparkle and glitter like Edward, thank goodness, but she's so white that even the Hayden Liv and Disney articulated bodies look darker and beige beside her. I need a dead white body for this girl. I think I've seen white Obitsu bodies but I've never bought an Obitsu body and I'm not sure what to get. Victoria looks like she's made of matte porcelain pretty much. She's like snow white, no flesh tone at all from what I can tell. I do want to articulate her. She's just biatchin wow, this doll, and really deserves a better body at some point. She's okay for now. She's not on a skeletal model muse body at least, but would a 1/6 obitsu work? I'm looking at that and pullip bodies trying to figure out if either of them is a dead white color...Thanks!

Hmm I'd try looking at Volks before going to get a Pullip body. I've seen someone Volks a Victoria head before and it looked like a bit bulky but a good match up.

Obitsu white can work, and Volks white is similar but they aren't exact matches to Barbie white white. The only jointed white white body I've seen is the white tiger Lounge Kitties collector doll.

*Obitsus galore! http://dolfielittles.com/ob.html The white ones are not pure white but very fair.

I have an obitsu white and a bobobie WHITE... I'll take a picture of them next to each other tonight.

I have my Victoria doll on a Dynamite Girls Jasper body.

This is not my picture, just posting it so you know what she looks like. The skin tone is not a perfect match, but it is close enough that you don't notice it unless you remove all the clothing and look at it closely. The skin tone has a hue of gray to it which works well for her looking dead like. The body is nice and poses well, but doesn't pose as well as an Obitsu. Obitsu will always be my favorite body for posing. The Dynamite body is slightly smaller than a Barbie size, so some clothing for Barbie may not fix right but for the most part, more of them fit better than they do on an Obitsu 27cm body. The Dynamite Girl dolls can be pricey, but I have scored three Jasper dolls for under $30 each on eBay for my three Twilight girls. The reason I didn't go Obitsu for them is because the clothing I want them to wear does not fit right on the Obitsu body.

And I just realized I totally derped and forgot to upload the folder with the Obitsu images to my website.

@Dolly: There is the same problem with some of the Volks picture, I was about to pm you XD

Returning to the topic, there are some Fashion Royalties with really white complexion like this http://www.integritytoys.com/page/brands/current_collection/name:fashion_royalty/doll:617 but I don't know much about this kind of dolls, and if their prices and technical features justify the use for body shifting.
I have two white Obitsu but no white Barbies, so unfortunately I cannot do a comparation for you, but surely someone here can...

Last Christmas I had both Victoria and sparklemier gifted to me specifically for their clothes and heads. Sparklemier's head is on Luc, de-glittered and repainted, and Victoria's head was on my white Obitsu Xalez(which worked wonderfully), but I have since retired her head and replaced it with a new one for Xalez. You can still find the picture's here. I can dig them up for you if you want.

I have Edward. Right now he's in the process of becoming a flame haired Highlander but I have him. I've been rerooting his head and when I'm done with that he's getting a new face in so far as his sculpt allows. He's mostly glitterless at this point. It took forever but I got most of that off.

I've been looking at the Obitsu, Pullip and Volks white body pics but I just can't tell if they're slightly flesh toned or not. I was actually thinking of grabbing a larger busted body. I don't have a doll that has one and Victoria looks like she could pull that one off maybe. FR girl wold cost too much I think.

[Linsilee]

Most of the FR dolls are expensive, but if I buy a new Obitsu body at Junky Spot, it cost over $30 including the shipping. I was lucky to get the 3 Dynamite girls I used for about the same price including the shipping as I would for an Obitsu. You just have to be patient and keep your eye open for them on eBay. I do think Obitsu would be better because they pose better, but posted this for another option for those wanting the body size to be closer to Barbie size.

[catshem]

There's no fleshtone to the Obitsu white. And I have to agree that I belive the Victoria doll would probably pull off a big bust very well. lol The only thing I would note is that the Barbie head may look ever so slightly out of proportion. As in bigger. It's very slight though, and can be hidden by long hair.
