I'm looking for a doll of this girl.

Here's Cory. She's my cute manananggal with no fashion sense whatsoever, just like most of my characters. I want a 1:6 doll of her. Does anyone have any suggestions for what head I could use? Restrictions: I'd like something easily obtainable, preferably something that is currently being sold and not too expensive [<$100 for an entire doll]. Because she's so stylized [long pointy face, full lips, tilted eyes], I think an anime doll might be the best bet.

Kwanzaa Barbie is hot.

She reminds me of Velvette. I think they share the same VitC sculpt.

EDIT: As Andrea says, Velvette [Mbili Barbie] and Kwanzaa Barbie share the same headsculpt, which is named after its first appearance, Mbili. As far as I know, only 3 Barbies have been produced with the Mbili sculpt: Mbili, Princess of South Africa and Kwanzaa. Too bad, as she is my favorite.

Another doll I have a crush on: J-Doll Picasso Street East!
