Volks School C vs Volks School A on 60cm SD-13 Male Body

            Volks School C (left) vs Volks School A (right) on the 60cm SD-13 Male Body.

I'm restoring a 60cm Volks SD-13 male doll. Years ago, I bought the body and realized that looking for a matching head is HARD. Artist-made heads that are supposed to be SD-13 size (and match Volks resin) often don't. Volks does not release neck circumferences for all their dolls and does not label head sizes clearly. For example, SD and SD-13 size are both 1/3 scale dolls, but male SD, female SD, and female SD-13 neck holes are all significantly smaller than an SD-13 male's. Even heads sold for an SD-13 male might not fit! For example, Volks School C (left) is a large androgynous head that was supposed to fit male and female SD-13 bodies. Volks sold this head on a male SD-13 body before as a "one-off," and routinely sold as a girl and as a boy. That means this head would fit on my SD-13 male body, right??

WRONG: When I put my School C on my SD-13 male body, the neck looked too thick. It had a neck bulge no matter how I positioned it 😖!! After some research, my opinion is that the School C fits best on the smaller SD male (NOT SD-13 male) or female (SD and SD-13) Volks bodies. And, I'm not the first person to find this out the hard way...

THANKFULLY, Volks School A fit!! School A is the same scale and color as School C, but has a totally different neck hole. There is only a small bulge when I tilt School A's head sideways. I think School A fits well on the SD-13 body because he is part of the Lucai family of sculpts (e.g., sculpts modeled off of Volks Lucas. These include the F-16, Old F-28, Volks School A, etc.) Lucai are most commonly sold on male bodies and have wider neck holes than some of the other sculpts. However, not even all Lucai are created equal: DWC 01, for example, is also a Lucai sculpt, but he is smaller than School A or the Old F-28. Therefore, I'm not sure how well DWC 01 would fit on an SD-13 body. But, for now, I'm glad I found a head that fits on this body!!

Anyway. New Year, new project!
