S-class makeup and the 'Evo' body variants are not tied together, but there are other dependencies you might want to keep in mind.
- As well Youyi as Kayla are available with S-class makeup. S-class makeup means: harder silicone for the head. Different silicone blend means: There will be a slight skin color deviation between head and body. You might or might not notice it, depending on lightning and other factors. It is very subtle. You can chek out our shipped doll factory photos, there is always a photo with the head on the body.
- More important is that there are photos for Kayla with S-class makeup. There ain't for Youyi. S-class makeup might or might not look brilliant on the older heads. On Thera (an older head sculpt) it was just *kaboom*, on Yolanda I needed to look very close to see differences. There is no way to tell before there are photos from the factory or other owners. Kayla would be a safe bet with S-class makeup, as well as all newer DS heads. For older heads there might be surprises when choosing S-class makeup:

- You can get as well the regular DS-167 as the new DS-167 Evo body style with all six skin colors. You can (explicitely) request from DS to get the head with the same silicone blend as the body, reducing skin tone deviation to the technically possible minimum. However, in this case you can't get S-class makeup.
- There is a 7th 'special' skin color, which is not relevant for the two heads you have mentioned. With the special skin color you would loose compatibility with 2nd hand heads you might want to purchase later. However, this 'spcial' skin color looks really great on newer heads like Mohan/Leaf.
- Regarding pros and cons of the newer DS-167 Evo and the regular DS-167 body styles you can take a look into these threads:

https://www.dollforum.com/forum/viewtop ... 96#p864096 (from 2016). It is a tough decision, and in essence the decision-making questions are: a) Do you want a built-in (fixed) or removable (insert) vagina? b) Is the DS-167 Evo within your budget, c) are you prepared to care for a (more delicate) high-end doll, and d) are the (imho exquisite) 'Evo' features for you worth the steep extra charge (which cumulate with the S-class makeup option)?

Hi New user here I've been very,very, slow on my decision making sifting through the entire forums, researching on pros and cons of each doll maker and I have finally made a conclusion on what doll I want.
