Now that I have my Dom doll back in commission, I'd like to get a doll of Geordie, his niece. She was originally an Elfdoll 17cm Jin dal Rae, but she wasn't very poseable, so I got rid of her. As much as I'd love to get a 1:6 toddler BJD, I don't have the money for that right now, so I'm brainstorming alternatives.
Obitsu 21cm with reduced arms, legs and torso. This body would satisfy my need for articulation, but I'm looking for something about half this height, 5" at max.
Mattel Kelly/Tommy doll. These are the appropriate size, but their articulation is crap, and they all have disturbing smiles.
Sekiguchi Mame Momoko. These dolls are the right size, with minimal articulation like Kellys, but their clothes can be realistic [see the
Street Kids Mame for example], and I find their simplified faces much more charming than Kellys'.
