"Part of the reason why us ball jointed dolls (yes, vinyl boys and gals, you count too) don't have a "perfect" body is because we were intended to be anatomically accurate to a fair extent*, and it helps with our posability. Besides, it would look just scary as well as unhealthy to have a extreme hourglass shape or a hulk body. There are dolls out there who has immature bodies, plus sized bodies and even gore mods who still look beautiful, interesting and intriguing"
-Dollie A. Sangshuary from "The Doll Guide to Healthy Body Image"
* "You ask, "What about the big headed dolls like Hujoos"? Well, they are one of the more stylized dolls and even with their large heads, have a fairly accurate anatomy if you don't look at the head."
...I really don't know.
The ever growing wishlist: Hujoo Dana, Obitsu 40, and an army of other Obitsus with anime style heads.
The more expensive end of my wishtlist: Limhwa Half Elf and Elfdoll Soah, my dream dolls.
