Several years ago I took on a hybrid project that involved a Resinsoul Ai body, Dikadoll head, and hippo ears from Leekeworld. I used to project to try my hand at subtractive mods, body blushing, face ups, and of course how to match resin and compare companies for such a project. It was a success and I had a beautiful doll but I ended up selling her. But the experience really opened me up to the possibilities of hybrid dolls and I've since made 4 other hybrid dolls which I still own and love. SO, do you love hybrid dolls too? Do you have any?

Here are mine... smile

This guy was my first real serious attempt at a hybrid doll. I had two floating heads at the time and actually ordered the body for another head but the resin matched this one. His head is a NobilityDoll minimee of Gackt and the body is a 68cm Loongsoul male body.

This was my next hybrid. I was the third owner of the head. It's a Doll In Mind minimee of Shou from Alice Nine. The neck hole was off and there is a small chip on the top of his forehead which I think was why the owner sold him. She didn't tell me about those problems until after I purchased and she had shipped it ^^; But I modded the neck so it was positioned right on the neck. Body is a 65cm Dollzone body. The head was really buttery and thankfully Dollzone made a body with similar resin and I was able to match it in person at Mint on Card in Traverse City, Michigan which is 5 hours from where I live heh.

This next doll was actually my first ever doll. He is a Doll In Mind Lyell but unfortunately DIM are not great at posing and standing. So while the body was beautiful I ended up upgrading the body to a 68cm Loongsoul male body and I couldn't be happier.

And finally, during my modding experience with my DIM floating minimee head, a friend gave me a Dream Of Doll Yen or Zen head (can't recall which) that she had started sanding the cheeks down on but had not finished. I evened out the cheeks and the whole head really since it had yellowed and at a doll meet had matched it to Aimerai body. I wasn't fond of the Aimerai 1/4 boy bodies and had learned that Xagadoll was a sister company and they used the same resin formula so I took my chances and ordered an MSD Xagadoll boy body and it worked beautifully.

Aa, all my boys are Hybrids since I am too cheap to buy a good body, and i love them but it certainly is annoying to have to resin match.

Your boys are really cute btw, the hybridization looks impeccable~

I would post pictures, but i don't really have any up on anything but instagram.
