    Repro Ilia head critique

    Mind you, I have only had it for twenty four hours, but I'd like to give my honest opinion here.

    I compared it to both a Barbie and a Fembasix head; it is MUCH larger than either, and definitely does NOT fit onto a Soldier Story body. Much less a standard Barbie body.

    We'd need a whole new body, with the correct proportions for it not to look like a Pullip or Blythe. Both of which I think are overrated and extremely out of proportion.

    The material is very sturdy, as I said before in the main thread about these heads. The color is nice and even, and when I squeeze it, it returns to its original shape with little trouble.

    If you are looking for a complete blank slate to practice painting or rooting on, this is the head for you.

    Will it fit onto a 12" Daisy Duke body? I have no clue.

    If anyone else wants to experiment in that direction, go right ahead.

    I've got rooting to do; I just have to choose the color. Auburn, black, brown, golden blonde, yellow blonde, curly, wavy, straight, etc.

        They will only fit the Cher/Farrah Mego type 12" skinny body only,..it wont fit any other one as its meant to fit over the ball shape of the neck for swivel action. Its a great replacement for a Zombie Ilia or any other custom Mego 12" doll.

          We definitely need new versions of those. Hopefully not as skinny with articulated joints.

              Now that you mention it, she does!

              I thought she had a Lucy Lawless vibe myself.

                Nahh, Xena's a lot more attractive than mannish Chyna.

                    Is this head still available anywhere? I forgot the original thread it appeared in.
