AYUMI head alternative: enlarging Anna or Hellen heads?

I like AYUMI body but I dont like AYUMI head. I started discussing an alternative and IRONTECH proposed Anna or Helen head.
But this heads have obviously the standard size (21-22cm from chin to top head) and are consequently slightly too small for AYUMI realistic 40 kgs body.We need here the larger size like the WMDOLL XD56 which measure 23 cm friom chin to top head and is used by them on their taller dolls of 172 cm.

The problem of standard heads beeing too small for tall heavy dolls is extended to most of the brands.Consequently for 5 of my 9 dolls bought so far I have made up a system of enlargement of the heads from the standard size to the larger ones. It is time consuming but it works with good results.
I have described this method on the 6YE section of the forum in the thread."ENLARGING HEAD SIZES TO FIT TALLER HEAVY DOLLS" (sorry link doesnt work)

Will irontech enlarge some of their heads skeleton boxes to cope with their taller heavier models requirements?

This is an important point that needs more scrutiny.
One of the dolls that I currently own has a head/face that is very popular. But when I stand back and look at her I see the head is ok for the size doll I have selected (150) but I know they use this head on larger dolls.
I feel it's too small for that application.
So I would say at this point if you like the Ayumi body (outstanding) at least the head fits. Irontech seems to be listening, so you could always get another head later.

Thanks for your great suggestions. We will consider making popular face bigger to suit for bigger body. And at the same time we will take more extra photos for the big body with other faces. So you might see how they matches. And will be worriless to buy!

Best regards

Can I recommend the Suzie head that is shown here on the 170cm body for that photo shoot ? I believe this head is perfect already for the taller doll and I have one coming to me soon as you already know
