I finished my doll, I made everything except for the head (but I did do the faceup) But... I don't know what scale he is XD.

His hands look a little strange because they are meant for leaning on, I need to make some grabbing hands so he can hold his staff.

His head is an Obitsu angela, but I widened the eyes.

Please tell me what you think!

I think he looks cute!

Probably a 1/6 or "tiny critter" depending on how tall he is.

CUTE! how tall is he?

He is 11.5 inches, 30CM, right on the borderline between 1/6th and 1/4th i think. I'd put him in the 1/4th scale just because of his proportions. his hands, head, and torso is closer to my 1/4th bobobies, he's just got short limbs.

MSD is 34cm to 46cm, so he would likely be classified as a big headed YO size and fall into the 1/6th catagory.
I have always been confounded by the use of 1/3, 1/4 and 1/6 as groupings for the dolls. Mature MSDs would be 1/4th SCALE adults, as in 1 inch = 4 inches, but imature or childlike MSD's would mathmatically be 1/3 SCALE because they are meant to represent a shorter child IRL....>.> my math brain is bothered by this.... but it would be quite a mess to catagorize them that differently I suppose! I guess we have to have a simpler system based on actuall height to keep it user friendly.

Thanks for the info Leopardess

it does make sense to make it height based, but my little guy was really intended to hang out with my 1/4th dolls. I guess all group pics are doomed to the misc. scale board forever.

And on the 1/6th board he'll just be a giant... or a fat hujoo XD

So cute! I love that you made your own body. The hands on-ness of this hobby is the best. And yes, scale is confusing. I understand how to figure it perfectly, but assigning dolls into the proper categories is hard, for all the reasons leopardessmoon already gave.
