Made to Move Dolls have a slightly wider thighs and hips to that of an actual woman , rather than the usual Barbie model shape.
If you put your best foot forward, your day will be great!

The stamens on the bottom Lily are mature so the orange pollen is exposed. The top one opened in the morning and you can see the mauve sheath over the pollen.

Unfortunately the petite one in the middle is not posable – difficult for people like me who love to put their dolls in displays and to tell stories.
While breaking down years of old sets and a few new ones for sorting, i wanted to see how the new Charger set stacked up against my old GARC General Lee.
Just in time for Bionifight's closing, I managed to put together a MOC of my (second?) favorite character from the RPG: Virse, Toa of Sand. I've been wanting to MOC her for months, and now that I finally got some (knockoff) tan CCBS, I could finish her. I have to say I'm very proud of how she came out.
Virse hails from an alternate universe where the GSR was never built and the Toa were created to attempt to repair Spherus Magna. However, they only made it worse, and in the great Shattering that followed, the Great Beings were lost. The survivors were forced to war for resources, Glatorian vs. Toa. After thousands of years passed and hundreds of thousands of lives were lost, they reached an unsteady peace. Virse, like many other Toa, used this time to specialize her element, shifting from Stone to Sand, before being taken to fight in the Bionifight Tournament. When the Bionifight Facility crash-landed on Saarella Kirottu, Virse was lost and presumed dead in an attempt to liberate the prisoners of the Cult of War.
Virse wields a Heat Gauntlet, a weak Great Being relic capable of creating great heat, in which she can forge her hardened glass blades. She wears the Mask of Elemental Transmutation, allowing her to change her body into sand.
Seen here was a rare and welcome comparison between the old and newer style of French plates on two MPVs. On the left is a Dacia Lodgy from Haut-Rhin, where I will be in 11 days, and on the right is a Renault Espace from Nord- the most common to spot over here along with 62 Pas-de-Calais. It's getting hard to spot the FNI series now.

So I decided to do a little comparison between the different minifee bodies before I sand the shoulders on my motion line to be more rounded. I hope this helps you guys to have a better chance of deciding which bodies to get if you are new to minifees or may need to add some more to your crew in the future :)
The busts the girls are wearing are Cutie bust, Large bust and Full bust x2. I do have Small bust and Glamour as well as the fairyline boy bust too but I didn't think they were important for the general body overview. This is also not a pose off, just an overall look ^^
Left to right: minifee a-line boy muscle, minifee a-line boy no muscle, minifee motion line boy, minifee moe line boy, minifee fairyline girl, minifee new a-line girl cutie legs, minifee old a-line girl model legs, minifee moe line girl.
The top image was taken at ~10:30PM and the bottom at ~3:30AM with the same camera settings: iso 6400, @ f/2.8, exp 4s, 16mm. The nearly full moon clearly dominates. An amazing difference!

For mini girls comparisons see here (one of the line ups is also featuring Withdoll & MNF boy).
I was taking some comparison photos today and then I figured I'd take a line up of my mini boys since I have Yenna's Shige visiting here.
Nothing special 'cause the light was awful... thus the low saturation. Also because three of these boys are hybrids and the awful light really highlighted the differences in their resin colour, so I wouldn't want that to be distracting.
But yeah, from left to right:
- Souldoll Soulkid N.L. boy body with a Bimong Narin N401 head
- Withdoll Aiden (new type boy body)
- DollZone 1/4 boy body (old type) with a Dream of Doll DOC Too head
- Minifee A-line normal boy body with a Dream of Doll DOC Tender Too head
I'll put the side and back view into the comments because I don't want to flood my photostream with these. Since they're not the best quality... perhaps sometime I'll ask Yenna to take better line up photos (read: when I have the energy to drag my boys over there, lol).
I am fascinated by comparisons and identifying similarities and differences between dolls. Annik Pop of Color on the right in this comparison and the new Annik 'The Awakening' are SO different they almost look like two different sculpts. I am personally really pleased by this because I don't like to have dolls that look too similar in my collection. One small detail I have noticed, thanks to my friend Bran Beckman’s eagle eye, is that Pop of Color has a very different lip screening to Awakening. Her upper lip is not filled in right to the edge of the sculpt but sits below it while Awakening has a fuller upper lip reaching or even going beyond the sculpt line. Awakening's head had to be made from softer vinyl to enable the braids to be rooted and this seems to have softened the contours of her face while POP's contours are more angular. Again, I really love these differences. They definitely look like sisters to me rather than twins. So happy to have them both!
Welcome to my second comparison of lenses with a focal length of 35 mm. This time all contenders are more than 50 years old and are equipped with the M42 screw-mount. There are two famous lenses amoung it (Flektogon 2.4/35 and Super-Takumar 3.5/35), two insider tips (Color-Skoparex 2.8/35 and Travegon R 3.5/35) and perhaps a stunner.
Results for the center:
Results for the corner:
Carl Zeiss Jena Flektogon MC 2.4/35
Perhaps a Flektogon was the first wide angle lens for SLRs with a retrofocus design, the other suspicious is the Angénieux R1. The first attempt was to put a divergent lens element in front of a well known lens, in that case a Biometar, to obtain a 2.8/35 with a (7/5)-design. In the early seventies the Flektogon was completely redesigned, this time based on a triplet. The new version was cheaper to produce, better and faster, was the first multi-coated lens by CZJ, and it has 6 elements in 6 groups. The lens here has an impressive nearest focus distance of 0.2 m.
Voigländer Color-Skoparex 2.8/35
Made by Rollei in Singapore, belongs to the Voigtländer VSL1 and offers open-aperture-metering with it. It is a (5/5) design by Zeiss and was also available as Distagon with QBM-mount for the Rolleiflex (it is different from the later Distagon for the Contax, which is a (6/6)-design). The Distagon was provided single coated or multi coated (HFT) - I don't know, what the Skoparex is. The lens is from about 1974 and has 6 blades. Another note: the lens has no A/M-switch, but you can close the diaphragm by (carefully!) screw in the tiny set screw next to the aperture pin.
Pentax Auto-Takumar 3.5/35
Clearly the smallest lens of the group. It was produced around 1960. "Auto" means, that the camera automatically closes the aperture via the common pin at the lens mount, but the user has to open it by himself again by pushing the small lever at the f-stop ring, so it is rather "semi-auto". A (5/4)-design with 5 blades.
Pentax Super-Takumar 3.5/35
The same optics like the Auto-Takumar, but in a new outfit: this time with really fully-automatic aperture and with A/M-switch. Usually seen on a Spotmatic.
Enna Lithagon 3.5/35
Certainly the most simple lens in this field. It is based on the 4.5/35 Lithagon, the first retrofocus lens for 35 mm SLRs made in West Germany (1953). The retrofocus effect is achieved by adding a divergent lens element ahead of common lens, so here: the Lithagon has a comparable large front lens element in front of a simple triplet, the result is a (4/4)-design. Also the construction of the lens is simple: full manual aperture setting (even no preset ring) and a rotating front. This combination can by annoying, because you can loose the focus when closing the aperture. 8 blades, the zebra look should be from the late sixties.
A. Schacht Travegon R 3.5/35
Made by a very small manufacturer, but certainly one of the most extravagant lenses of that type which I hold in my hands. The mechanics are extraordinary, the 6 blades sport a ball bearing, the lens has an A/M-switch, a socket for a cable release, and an automatic display for the depth-of-field. The lens was designed by Ludwig Bertele (it's said he designed all lenses of Schacht). As the inventor of the Sonnar Bertele was a master in arranging many lens elements in three groups, so here, the Travegon is a (6/3)-design.
Super Yashinon-R 2.8/35
Perhaps the oldest lens in this field, together with the Auto-Takumar. It was already available for the Yashica Pentaflex around 1960, but then with a bayonet mount. When Yashica switched to the M42 mount with the "J"-series, this lens was carried. It has a preset aperture, 8 blades, a nearest focus distance of 1 m and is a (6/5)-design.
Auto Yashinon DX 2.8/35
The "Auto" indicates an automatic aperture, and there exists also DX-lenses without "Auto" which have a preset aperture then. Contemporary cameras should be the TL and TL Super from the mid-sixties. Those DX lenses were followed by the DS-lenses, rather seen on the TL Elektros. The lens here has an A/M-switch, 6 blades and also an (6/5)-design, and as you can see from the results of this comparison, the design should be very different from the one of the Super Yashinon.

Here’s some comparison photos of the new Curvy MTM body next to some other dolls. She’s shorter than the Collectors Curvy body and is closer to the Fashionista Curvy but her limbs are slightly thicker.
She has almost the same poseability as an Original MTM body but due to her thicker body type it ALMOST does the same things anyway. Her ankles are as floppy as original MTM so bleh.
Surprisingly her wrists are compatible with Original MTM, which means it’s compatible with older jointed Barbie dolls with vinyl arms AND DC Super Hero Girl hands.
Her ankles though are completely different so if you were hoping to give her smaller feet you’ll need to mod the doll a lot.
Her skin tone is ALMOST Tropic Tan/Nikki but it’s slightly too pink and light. Still darker than other Caucasian skin tones though.

Lately I’ve been editing photos with a big hit of gamma correction, for a grayed-out/antique kind-of look? Not quite sure if I’ll stay with it, but I do think it makes things look more… ☆.~:*aesthetic*:~.☆ ? Anyway, here is a comparison. Gamma correction on the left, edited but no gamma correction on the right.
