NEW PRODUCT: DS TOYS 1/6 COSPLAY Short-haired female head sculpture in three hair colours D-011 / D-012 / D-013

I didn't get this but excited to see how they turned out!

Looking forward to in hand pics. I will get one if they are nice. And assuming stock levels last.

My two have just arrived.

First impressions: The two heads are more alike to each other than in the promos, mostly resembling head A, but neither is exactly like any of them. The hair is OK, actually - a little choppy at the back perhaps, but both fringes are trimmed fairly well. Oddly, there are no neck pegs included, so you will either need to pad the sockets or use an existing peg. Skintone: in hand, I'd say they were TBL pale, but judge for yourselves:

Pale at left, suntan at right.

Thank you for the pics!

They do look pretty, but I realize I really did not need two of them.

I ordered green and white, so I'm looking forward to the comparison!

I'm torn about the skin color. On the one hand it's kinda convenient that it goes with both pale and suntan, but on the other neither one is perfect. I couldn't decide which looks best. Though a make-up artist once told me that the face should never be darker than the neck (back then so many women were applying a fake tan this way), because it is unnatural and just looks wrong. The face apparently doesn't tan as fast as the rest (unless the rest is covered of course).

But in natural daylight I agree she looks closer to pale.

Yep, it's all down to the lighting as usual

It's an interesting point, though. I suppose you can handwave a fair few sculpt/body tonal mismatches as a character's makeup choices, right or wrong, if all else fails.  

I also now realise I didn't really need more than one, seeing as the faces are more alike than anticipated (I liked the blue hair but not the blue's face, whereas I did like green's face, so my original plan was to mix and match). They aren't exactly alike, though - there is still something more plaintive about the green's face, I think, however subtle. It'll be interesting to see how similar the white one's face is going to be.

Thanks GeeW. Great pics, you've made giantoy a sale today.

It's a shame they aren't a perfect tone match to either TBL skin, but I think it's close enough to pale (which I need more of).

I find a choker or scarf, works wonders at tricking the eye into thinking the tone matches. I've done that with a few older SD heads.

Mine have arrived and they are a pretty much perfect match for my battered S16A.
I love them. Initially I preferred the white version because the cut is clean and symmetrical. But while shooting I started paying more attention to the green version.

I see what you mean, Diana, and I agree. Nice photos.

Nice Photos Diana! Thanks for sharing!
