Please, help this newbie out!

Yep, that's the one I have...and she's too peachy for the Swan Ballerina head. Hang on, I'll take a pic side by side.....

Here are the girls side by side...
So, if I DIDDDDDDD want to try out an Obitsu body...I'm guessing white skin tone? For the one of the right I mean.

between obitsus....the obitsu 25cm is the closest size to barbie i guess....

Nope, Obitsu 27 is, and it's smaller. However I do think that the Swan head would look nice on it. I have a convention this weekend, but I will try to take a picture of the Swan next to one of my Obitsu. I do have a really nice Barbie on a Volks Dollfie body.

Zircon, thank you! I would really appreciate it.

http://dolfielittles.com/ency/girls30.jpg The Volks is a Dollfie Plus and the Obitsu is a hard bust 27 (non Obitsu head) both the "average" girl body from both companies and in their normal skin tone. The Barbie is a 100 Poses in the most common skin color, the lighter colored one is rather tricky to find. The headless body is a 25cm for comparison. Don't take the picture as an exact match but to compare the tones.

A very light Barbie close to the skin tone of a Disney Princess would be the closest to Volks and Obitsu normal. The white is very very pale. And there can be slight variations in batches.

Great reference photo. Thank you!

Great reference photo. Thank you!

If you're looking for posable and near white Liv Hayden is a good match. I've got a lot of my fairest Barbies on one of her bodies. The swim Livs can be found for under $10 on Amazon and at TRU still. Sometimes for even less at Big Lots and places like that. Her head nob will likely need tape, but otherwise she's a really nice match. Most of my Celtic girls are on one of her bodies and she has the advantage of being very like the new standard Barbies in size. Bust is just a tad smaller, but otherwise Liv doll clothes tend to fit Barbies well.

Ooh, I will look into those then also! Thanks!!!
