A head-and-body combination depends on more than the scale printed in the listing.

Neck circumference and shape

Compare both the numerical neck measurement and the shape of the opening. A few millimeters of difference can affect fit. Some combinations need an adapter or a particular neck connector; ask the maker for exact compatibility.

Proportions and visual balance

Head height, shoulder width and overall body proportions affect the final silhouette. Look for straight-on photos, not only dramatic perspective images. If possible, compare images of the exact head on a body of the intended scale.

Color matching

Resin shades may change across production batches and lighting environments. “Normal,” “white” or “tan” are not standardized names across makers. Request swatches or references if matching is essential.

Connection and mobility

A combination should be checked at the neck under gentle movement. Avoid forcing incompatible pieces. Protect delicate face-up paint before test fitting a head.

Before you inquire

Save the exact model name and all relevant measurements. Request confirmation of configuration, current options, availability and total cost. Clear information makes a more confident purchase decision.
