WM Dolls head selection - Are there counterfeits ?
WM Dolls head selection - Are there counterfeits ?
I'm new here and reading up for the last couple days. Fantastic stuff ! Looking to get my own doll, been using anime hugging pillows way too long now
So far WM Dolls are my favorite but I am left a bit confused about their head/face selection. The thing is, on their official website they offer around 36 different heads for 140 cm compatible bodys. Many vendors however offer a far bigger selection what the manufacturer seems to offer. That particular vendor I am looking at offers almost 100.
Added that WM Dolls only list 3 available skin tones, but said vendors usually offer a multitude of different skin tones. So something doesn't add up. Either the manufacturer never updated their web presence (unlikely I guess) or there are "aftermarket"/counterfeited options out there that are being sold as genuine.
Thought I rather ask the experts then a particular vendor. I am sure someone comes up with an answer to that. I am particular fond of head #62 ^^ which, for some reason doesn't appear on the WM Dolls website.

If you get a good vendor, you can get a perfectly customized doll.
Please allow me to explain how I made my purchase as an example.
I originally was going for a JY 140cm "Bianca" doll from Mon Amour Toujours.
But somehow I ended up in the WM Soleil Collection and found "Trinity"
She looked Amazing and I was all about her. But I wanted a different head.
I exchanged a few emails with Don, the owner, and he advised me on options and how things will go.
I wanted Tan skin, Blonde Hair, Blue Eyes, and a face I found on a website.
I sent a pic to him in an email, he confirmed the head # with the factory rep and boom, it was done.
He created a special link for me to order by. It was the Trinity page but with head #31. the Item number was like WM15731B
the original was like WM157b36
The cool part is that head #31 is an Asian head on every other and WM's own website.
It kinda makes me feel like I have a unique girl.
As close as I can find, is Trinity with Amelia's head.
Yes, there are counterfeiters out there. But If you go with a TDF approved vendor you will be OK.
Thanks, for listening Holler if you need help

I got my WM 125cm with a head only listed for the 118cm with a custom skin color in between 2 shades listed by my vendor. So, if you don't see the exact combination you want, just email one of the TDF vendors. Chances are it's doable.

Yep, what Mr.Franz said.
I just wanted to offer some pics of that combo for you to look at. It was my first and I think it's a good fit. Click on the links in the sig.
