Hybrids wanted!

Wow is modding resin harder than vinyl?

Working with resin is quite a bit easier. With resin there is a lot more material (thickness) to work with and you can use both additive and subtractive techniques easily. Whereas with vinyl you are mostly limited to subtractive techniques.

He's resin, but my Gabriel is a DZ Fei/Goodreau hybrid.

This is my girl, She's a Pullip Fdoll Hybrid. I had to remove the eye mechanism entirely to accommodate the neck joint for the strung resin body, as well as dremeling out her neck hole considerably. The proportions of the pullip head give a very youthful expression on 1/3 dolls. I hate these photos because her face doesn't look the right color, however the resin is a very good match.

I have a collection of about 20 Bratz on regular bodies but I also have another 25 on older Barbie bodies, dolls I call my Bratzbies. I actually love Bratz heads on Barbie bodies. Putting their heads on a Barbie body totally balances out the ultra big head thing. Most of my best Barbies are now on Liv bodies though some are on Fashionista bodies. There are some Barbies that I cannot swap out because they have very specific skin colors that the newer Barbies don't cover well but mostly I tend to use the same 50 articulated bodies and swap out heads when I want new faces. Older Barbie bodies have this habit of breaking down over time. The legs will go and leak junk. The newer bodies are much better and they're posable besides. In terms of my bigger dolls no, not too many hybrids there. The skin tones and neck widths on most larger fashion dolls just don't lend to much swapping out. I have swapped out newer bodies for older ones in the same line and vice versa. Again I have extra heads that I will swap out sometimes because their original bodies have gone yellow or brittle. But I don't swap dolls from different lines onto the bodies of dolls outside their lines. It usually just doesn't work.

I really wish someone would come out with an Obitsu type body for 16" fashion dolls that has different types of connector's for different types of fashion doll heads. Joe Tai at one point was making a fashion doll body that supposedly could replace a lot of them but they were rather expensive to buy and then unfortunately he passed away and that was the end of that. It's a real need though. A lot of 16" doll collector's I know they're desperate for affordable bodies for Gene and Alex in particular. Jason Wu actually made some replacement Gene bodies and at one time you could get cheap basic Alex dolls that were very well articulated for swapping out those, but you can't hardly get them now and there's been a lot of problems with older dolls and the discolored and brittle vinyl. I'd really love to be able to replace all my dolls with bad bodies or older stiff arm/stiff leg ones with something much nicer but at $70 and up a body (when you can get them) it just can't be done. Not on my budget.

Every now and again I do get lucky. I end up finding a basic Gene at the flea market or online for $25 that I already have, that hasn't yellowed, and I swap the bodies out. Or I hit a clearance sale and pick up an Alex doll with more articulation and a face I already have for $24 at places like Tuesday Morning and I can use that doll to swap out to one I like more. (I usually sell the clothes to pay for the swap.) But I actually have probably 25 of the 16" dolls that I want to eventually swap out and it's not very likely that it will ever completely happen. It's definitely an ongoing project and unfortunately it just keeps happening the issues with the vinyl. It's just part of the aging process of some dolls so I doubt that I will ever get them all to where I want them, all 100% perfect forever.

I get tempted though to just make this huge spool stand for the heads, because it always seems that I'm destined to have a few extra laugh...
