Hi, all. I'm seeking opinions on a dilemma I'm having. For about a year now, I've been wanting to customize a DD to be Amelia from the anime "Slayers." I've had a doll I wanted to use, but haven't gotten around to making her outfits or styling her wig yet. She's a standard Mirai. I even brought her to Dolpa last year. I love her sweet face and the fact that she's already got the black hair/blue eyes combo. But there are a couple of things that I have had reservations about. The first being that she's a standard DD, whereas Lina is a DDS, making Amelia taller and bigger overall. When I stand them side by side, it's not too noticeable a difference, but it's enough that I had considered getting her a new body so they'd match each other a little better. She also has semi-white skin, and she looks a tad ghostly when I stand her next to Lina. It's not overly noticeable in photos, but the difference is there. I was still going to make it work, but then I came across the new Hanaumi Saki DDS on the Volks site, and I immediately thought she might be a better candidate as a base. She's a DDS, so more compatible size-wise. And she has flesh colored skin which suits her character design better. And I kind of like her spirited facial expression. But of course, there are drawbacks, too. One of course, being the cost. I'm a preschool teacher, so I'm not exactly making bank, and she's around $500 USD right now. I received quite bit of Christmas money this year, so it'd be doable. But there are definitely more practical things I could use that cash for. The second issue may seem a little silly, but I figure doll people would understand: I feel a little disloyal about replacing my current doll as Amelia. I'd still keep her and love her, but she's been Amelia for as long as I've had her, and to give her a new identity feels weird. I'm at a loss, so I'm seeking advice: do you think one doll works better than the other for the character? And would it be worth getting Saki vs making my current doll work? Any input would be much appreciated!
