Pearl’s arms

I think Pearl’s face is adorable, but I’m disappointed in the arms. I thought about making her into a cuddle baby, but decided to dig through my stash to see what other limbs would be a better fit for her. I came across Miya and think these arms will be perfect. I plan on keeping Pearl’s legs since there really isn’t much difference in size. Miya will become a cuddle baby.
This pic shows Pearl/Miya limbs for comparison. Pearl’s arm/leg are on the left.

Yes, Pearl limbs look uneven in size even from the pictures.
I was waiting for someone to suggest a better substitute for them :wink:

I only brought it up because I saw you ask about a substitute earlier.:wink:

And I appreciate that! I like her face!

It’s not only the large size, but the way her left arm appears longer because of how the hand is opened and extended. One of the older BB Fagan kits was that way. Drove me nuts.

Yep. I’m disappointed in Pearls arms too. They don’t seem to match each other. Hopefully they will look better once she’s assembled.

I think once completed and assembled, she will look fine. Using Miya’s arms is an option for me since I already have the kit. I think Ashley’s arms may work, too. I was too lazy to dig her out of my kit bin to see.

I wonder if Maceys arms would work?

I don’t have a Macey to check. She is smaller than Miya, though. Pearl’s head is 13.5 and Macey’s is 12.5. Her arms may be too small. Do you have a Macey on hand? If so, measure the length of the arms and I will see how they compare to Miya’s.

Ok! I will!!!


not sure if this helps, this is all Macey on left. if you need measurements lemme know. I don’t have Miya’s body, just her head. :roll_eyes:

I never realized that Miya and Macey have different limbs. Now I feel dense… duh
This probably doesn’t help, but I figured perhaps if compared with her blank head you could see the scale of the limbs. shrugs
