@skyknight: Actually there are over 200 compatible Jinshan heads. A few dozend are generic (WM Doll), the rest are ODM/OEM, or sub-ODM/OEM. Some are more or less restriced (e.g. WM Dolls), others are 'just' a bit more expensive (e.g. J-Suntech), and others are truly vendor exclusive. And a lot are from non-TDF-listed manufacturers, and with very few exceptions there are neither recommendations in regard to head to body proportions nor complete price lists.
I found that the best way not to loose my mind is to stick to existing promotion photo sets and factory confirmation photos that (imho) look nice. Based on that you could deduce that JY has more promotion photos, and that I do not sell a lot of WM dolls. Both assumptions would be true.
However, what you can do is to use the
head database and filter by manufacturer=Jinsan. That gives you currently about 160 heads, sorted by OEM manufacturers (= brands) like YL Doll, OR Doll, and WM Dolls. If brand=OEM, the actual owner is unknown and I need to check if this head is available for purchase in a certain region. E.g. WM Dolls heads can not be delivered domestically to Chinese destinations, and some OR heads are sub-OEM for a Japanese vendor, meaning that they are not freely available.
That approach is a bit more complicated, but it gives you more choices if you take the time to do some research.
Still, there are at least 40 Jinshan heads I have not even seen on a photo
