Body style comparison

Post by Dollstudio »

Hi,

for the general entertainment I'm posting another body style comparison.

Above is a Doll Sweet DS-163 in skin tone 'LPink' which used to be labeled and advertised as a 168 cm doll. She is a silicone doll, currently supposed to be 163 cm (with head) respectively 147 cm (without head), as specified by the manufacturer. That would make the head 16 cm long, if we were to believe the specs.

Below is a NTAB doll (NTAB = "Non-TDF-approved brand/manufacturer"), so we are not allowed to elaborate on her heritage. The skin tone is 'natural/normal'. This is a TPE doll, she is supposed to be 168 cm (with head) respectively 150 cm (without head). That would make the head 18 cm long, if we were to believe the specs.

Both are Chinese manufacturers, and both specified body heights are debatable. When laying flat on the floor, I'm measuring a body height from top of the head to soles of the feet of 160 cm for the DS-163; maybe it is 161 cm, when stretched a bit. That would result in a deviation of about -1.5% from the specs.

The NTAB doll is not so much taller than the DS-163. When laying flat on the floor, I'm measuring a body height from top of the head to soles of the feet of 163 cm for the NTAB doll; maybe it is 164 cm if the head is screwed less deep into the neck connector. That would result in a deviation of about -2.5% from the specs.

Whatever doll you are buying from China, please consider that there is a high probability that the doll will not exactly match the specs. The same applies to other body measurements and especially to the weight.

It is always a good idea to give it some thought how much deviation from the specs would be acceptable for you before placing an order.

Great posting, heads up and sage wisdom/advice. These dolls are very flexible and they are not rolling off assembly lines. I can imagine it would be difficult for manufacturers to maintain consistency across all molds and body types unless the instute a rigorous climate control and tight engineering and quality systems. But-It's not rocket science and I agree, we should be seeing better fidelity of advertised specifications.

PS: IMHO the DS is still the better doll :whistle:

Probably she is, but the DS also comes with a bigger price tag. You can get about two NTAB dolls or one DS.

Also, the NTAB doll can stand, the DS can not.

On the other hand, you can hang the DS for long term storage, but it's not recommended do that with the NTAB doll.

As usual - many things to consider, no simple answers. Everybody needs to figure out what really matters - and what's in the wallet.

Maybe they are measuring with the foot extended as if standing on the ball of the foot rather than to the heel.
