Kirby is a Soom Serin/Mylo hybrid

Someone on DoA was asking about MSD hybrids so I snapped some pictures of my MSD Schulze (which has eyes modded smaller, and is from 2005 according to the headplate) on a bunch of bodies. I threw the DV girl body in there just because I had it around and undressed, haha.

Dream Valley B4-02 girl body in yellow with Doll Chateau hands (the foot is somewhere else): Super bobbleheaded but would probably look cute with the more anime-looking heads honestly. The body is in the right color family but lighter. A newer head might be closer.

Dream Valley B4-04 51cm boy body in white skin / WS (mine is using a Dollshe hand as well): Very obviously not a resin match to Volks NS/pureskin. Actually looks good proportionally if you want a very tall doll.

On Fairyland Minifee / MNF old A-line boy body in NS (from 2007-2008): Good resin match, but the head looks pretty big. The neck is thin for my taste. Newer FL NS will not match like this… the color is different after 2012 or so.

On Souldoll Soulkid NL boy body in NS (mine has modded hips/thighs): Souldoll NS is very light and pink and doesn’t match Volks at all. Also this particular body poses horribly (hence the mods). The proportions are quite nice though since it’s a bigger body.

On Akagidoll 47cm boy body in NS (mine has Resinsoul hands right now): This one is my first choice. The color is a little darker than my head actually, but it looks good with the faceup. Great proportions, like a taller version of the original measurements. Also it’s just a really solid inexpensive body that poses really well.

Oops I almost missed this girl! So, I had the old F60 body with Delf limbs (Soony’s leftovers hybrid) and wanted a head to pair up with my Soony. I thought over a lot of options and actually picked up an old Elfdoll Soah head originally, but I found that I didn’t like how she looked with big ol’ 9-inch-head, 20mm-eye-wearing Soony. In my heart I knew the sculpt I had in mind was a Volks 4 Sisters. I ended up picking up a whole Megu from Dollyteria because she cost pretty close to what I’ve seen the heads go for on DoA. She’s a lovely mold I always liked, but she’s also a particularly good scale/style match for Soony. I’m going for a sweet frail goth/scary angel handmaiden kinda vibe with the two of them but I’m still trying to pin them both down.

I haven’t done too much with her since she arrived, besides sueding and styling… she has a Volks faceup, so she hasn’t been at the top of the queue, although I don’t like the faceup.

I got Sleeping Soony’s DD1 body all cleaned up and restrung. Did you know DD1 bodies were strung? I didn’t, haha. She can stand now! Part of me wants to put her on the other Delf/Feeple60 parts hybrid body that I have Megu on, since it would match her head perfectly, but she’s had this body for so long that I feel like it’s really hers, haha. I like the attitude she has on it. I’ll have to match the color when I do her faceup.

I finally got a chance to seal the faceup layer on LTF Soony so that she could be put back together! In between I decided that I wanted her to be a little taller so I picked up this Dollzone Mini Jing body and fullset, which is SUPER cute and the yellow resin is actually a great match. I just had to flip one of the magnets in the ears to work with the LTF headback’s magnets. I did somehow mess up her upper liner in the process of sealing the faceup layer? Just the upper liner, very odd. I’ll have to paint over it.
