On paper Keiko should be my shortest gal but in fact she appears to be an inch taller then either of my 3 YL148's, I put this down to the slight difference in head size you can get plus I think she may have a longer neck and so benefits from a bit of a boost in height. Magda, my new WM166C/273 is now my tallest gal, she's currently wearing a pair of DM's and I noticed yesterday that she's a good inch or two taller than my daughter and is a very dominant presence in our house now!
Thank you Arthur,
I read your reply and thought if I get chance after work one evening I would put it to the test. The head swapping didn't really make much difference because she is taller in body length. I don't know why I have got such a bee in my bonnet over this, she's one of my favorite dolls and her extra height is perfect. I do think however, if I am right the size be should be corrected, because someone may not be as happy as me. Anyway I was trying to do a few photos for a post I was doing over on the other channel (UKLDF), while I had got four of them in one room at the same time thought I would bring the rest of my Jinsan dolls in and line them all up.
These are my Jinsan dolls, all lined up in the order of height stated...
from left to right
YL-148D classic,.... YL-155D,.. OR-156E,.. WM-157B,... YL-157, ...WM-158D, ...WM-166C... and WM-170H
I would say she's very close to the height of my WM166c and I am very happy about it, but I am really interested why?
The hand on the far left is a WM140 which is correct in measurements but not the real deal, and although I think she is a very close copy, I have cropped her off.
When I post photos like that people will then ask or say that's a lot of Dolls, Well that is only half the story, there is lots of other makes available and I'm not fussy
Best Regards
