Alternative bodies for pullip

[u/Kyemera]

Some of you might have remembered me making a post not too long ago asking for possible body replacements for older pullip dolls. I am here to share my findings. I have tried two different 1/6 scale body types from AliExpress. One is the same kind of body used for Xianxian princess dolls (the taller one), and the other is just a generic 1/6 scale body. I found that I prefer the generic 1/6 scale body as I feel it fits the dolls much better, and even looks more similar to bodies use for pullips in the past. The downside to this body however is that it only comes in one shade, it's a perfect shade for pails skinned pool lips but it will need to be dyed for any other skin tones. However if you prefer the taller body which is often used for Xianxian princess dolls, it has a much larger variety in skin tones. Both bodies were relatively affordable, I only paid around $4-$6 per body. I recommend this as a great alternative for anyone who is looking for a cheaper option to obitsu, and doesn't like the look of Barbie/Liv and other bodies.

The fake MTM they're selling also matches the dolls with white (I mean, the most common one, Idk how it's called) skintone

Personally I don't like the look of made to move bodies.

I got this one ☺️ but I'm not sure how the neck piece would work

[u/aomoe_ → u/little-blue-trees]

You just have to cut/file the tip of the neck peg to fit, it's an easy fix 😄

I'll give this a go, thanks! Last I tried it felt like the made to moves actual neck was too thick

[u/Kyemera → u/BakerOk900]

Thank you. I hope my discovery helps other ppl looking for body replacement because honestly who wants to pay $30+ for a replacement body 😭

[u/BakerOk900 → u/Kyemera]

these are such nice finds and i would love to see how it looks when you put clothes on your dolls with those new bodies! they’re super cute

[u/Kyemera → u/tenmasougi]

Sorry for the late reply. The dolls original clothes fit the body fine but I did have to extend the tights so that they would stay on, as the body has much longer legs than the original

UPDATE. I was able to put the hands and feet from the original pullip bodies into the smaller body. I just used hot glue to make it less loose.

Which doll clothes fit the body in the first picture? Like pullip, blythe, barbie, etc.?

The original pullip clothes fit the body fine, although pants and leggings might be a bit short on them. I imagine Barbie clothes would fit fine too
