I've looked at the asian wm heads many times and although some are pretty good, none really stand out to me. Which is your favorite? Which do you think is most realistic?

Dude, you cannot go wrong with head #56, and it definitly got an asian vibe to me.
See below some of my earliest pics...just imagine with darker hair, or kind off asian hair style.

Also WM85 is a lovely Asian face, I have the 56 as well and they look a bit like sisters next to each other.

Yeah, the #56 head definitely has an Asian vibe, as does the #85.
I have the #36 head. Very similar to the #56 (imo). One thing I've noticed is that wigs can make a difference with this too.

For example, with curly hair Anna Marie looks a bit more Hispanic to me.
With straight hair she looks more Asian.
This isn't an extreme example, just something I noticed with the few wigs I have. And both of these are just my opinion. Others may see it differently.

Thanks so much for responding.

I fell in love with head #173. That is the one I ordered recently.

Love your makeup application Arthur1960.

Why thank you kambui, actually Keiko's makeup was the first I did from scratch as I cleaned her face completely with baby oil and went from there. Previously I had just touched up my girls makeup.

53 is still my Favorite

Here my #56 light Tan and #36 with anime styled eye with light Tan

36 is a pretty face too. Almost has moods like sometimes she looks Asian, and sometimes western. Always pretty

#85 and #56 are my top choices for WM Asian faces. I see them recommended very often in this thread, so I'm glad to see I'm not alone. #36 used to be in my top 3 (also mentioned in the thread), but a recent blind test in which I chose 3 Asian and 3 western faces in a photo Battle Royale, she was edged out of the running by #70.

Most heads can actually change their look drastically with different hair and make-up. I think one of the appeals of #56 is that she seems to do this very well. I've seen her change ethnicity entirely with a few tweaks. So that's something to consider.

Also, "best Asian WM head" is a bit of a subjective question. Everyone has their own taste, so you should really go with whichever girl strikes you the most. You stated that none of them really did it for you, so you might want to look at another brand. If nothing else, you could do what I did. I used the BCD website and selected "faces" at the top. From there, each section was a photo competition. 0-9, pick a favorite, right-click, save as... After I'd gathered about 20 face pics, I opened 7 faces in Photoshop and did a "talent search" elimination process. One face was voted out, then another brought in. One voted out, another fresh face brought in. After I'd completed the process, I was left with 6 gorgeous faces (which I separated into 3 Asian and 3 Western partway through the search). These are now the faces I'm building around.

On a side note:
OMG BROVEN! That Noir t-shirt Anna Marie is wearing in the second pic. I used to have that shirt! I think it got lost somewhere along the way. After seeing your girl in it, I wish I still had it so mine could wear it too

Ha! It's always cool when people recognize things like that. I've had that shirt forever. Sadly it no longer really fits me... But Anna loves it.

It came with the box set. I was a poor college kid at the time, and sadly, funds never allowed me to finish that particular anime, but I loved the shirt. It looks great on Anna.
