Looking for a Boy (found a doll, thank you!)

[mica]

I am due for some money in three months and I would like to buy a 1/4 juvenile boy
who is 'smiling' or at least friendly looking.
So far, this is all I have come up with=

this guy is ok, but he looks a lot like my Anakin

any other suggestions?

What's your budget? You're looking at dolls from two completely different price categories here

And I'm assuming you'll get your boy with the company faceup?

Ditto what Evelien said, what kind of budget are you looking at? Any particular companies you like/dislike?

Have you looked at Luts Kid Delfs? They have a juvenile body. Here are some that are smiling/friendly:

KDelf Pine boy: http://www.eluts.com/shop/step1.php?number=138

KDelf Caju boy: http://www.eluts.com/shop/step1.php?number=134

KDelf Aru boy: http://www.eluts.com/shop/step1.php?number=125

and because my Momiji is one...
KDelf Ani boy: http://www.eluts.com/shop/step1.php?number=107

Here's a shot of what the body looks like:

Out of the DollZone boys, I think the following look happy:

Hal:

Jake(in a quiet sort of way):

I think Mo's sculpt is happy, but more so if you're not getting a company faceup:

Goodie, lots of choices- more!more!
I have not formed an opinion about any company because I have never shopped before with foreign companies.
I just have a hard time with the photos not saying what skin color they are showing- I don't know what is what.
Paypal would be a plus.

Take for instance that doll "Colin" up there- Type A. what color would I select for his skin to look like that?

I see the picture and say 'ya, that' but then dont know whether it's 'pink' or what when asked to select.

I figure around $300 is good (?) then add on for company faceup and ?
My Anakin the only thing I dont like about him is his huge out of proportion hands, half-closed eyes.

I know I like them to have a cute nose and be human looking

edit- awww, scarecrow hal is cute,,,,

I like your Iplehouse choice myself ^_^ I LOVE Iplehouse! Their dolls are god-like to me.

You can order DollZone, Fairyland,and Impldoll through Devner Doll Emporium. http://www.denverdoll.com/

DoA and Flickr are great places to find owner pictures.

If you like the doll but not the face-up, here and DoA have amazing face-up artists. Some charge the about the same price as a factory face-up.

That's an Unoa, not sure which sculpt but it looks like a Lusis (girl face) to me... or perhaps an L-bi (boy face)..? Unoas are quite expensive, but they can be hybrided onto other bodies... I've done it too ^^
