~ Volks MSD Mika Old Girl
Body
~ Volks MSD Mika SD PureSkin Girl Body |
Sitting
up
Notice that even while sitting on a 'ledge' the old body tends to lean
backwards. Its not that stable at all and could topple backwards. Note
that this body is wired so she could hold the sitting pose. Can't say
the same for unwired bodies ^^;;
The PS body however, sits up straight, locked on and is so stable there
is no worry she would fall backwards, sideways or forwards.
|
Side
view
The old body calves are 'floating' forwards while the PS body locks and
just sort of keeps the body in balance.
|
Crossing
ankles
The old body is trying ^^;; but the PS body just keeps the pose
beautifully like its what it should be doing all along. Cute eh ? XD~
|
Crossing
legs
No comment XD~ The old body flips backwards while PS body maintains it
and could still be stable. Even though the angle is higher than what a
normal human crosses legs at, its still acceptable ne XD
|
Hands
On the left is the standard MSD issue hand (or optional hand part #01) while on the right is Sweet
Dreams Mika default 'grasp' hand or #03 in the Mini FCS. And must I get
started on how easy it is to change the hands on the PS body ? XD
|
Feet
On the left is the old body feet, notice that the toes sort of
diagonally slope downwards towards the last toe and the feet shape is
bigger at the top than at the heel. Somehow it feels like the feet has
been bounded at a young age like those olden days Chinese. *falls over*
On the right is the PS body's feet, much more 'balanced' and natural (albeit
more chubby) shape with the toes nicely spread out. Think maybe that's
why the new body has a better stability ? ^^
|
Standing
Even with the uneven surface the PS body stands nicely,
is very stable
while the old body can stand but not as stable and needs a bit of a work to
keep her upright.
|
Legs
apart
The PS body can open the legs wider and is still stable while the
old body is having a hard time trying to stand with legs opened too wide
XD
|
Front
view of heads
It seems that the eyeholes of Mika SD is 'longer' than the eyeholes
of the normal Mika. Otherwise the rest is pretty much the same but for
that and the structure inside the head.

Sweet
Dreams Mika
Alone, because she's just too cute and I couldn't resist. ^^ And of
course the pictures absolutely do NOT do her any justice. One must
really see her in real life to fully appreciate her lovely faceup, the
gentle thin strokes and shading. Volks really did a wonderful job on
her.

Verdict
is, it is still up to the preference of the owner which body they
prefer. ^^;; Some of course do like the floppiness of the old MSD body
but others adore the great posing ability of the Pure Skin one. Because
of the 'snaps' and 'lock ons' of the new PS body, it has a smaller range
of movements than the old body but its not often noticeable as how often
does one does so much posing ? XD~ However to me, I personally prefer
the new body as its SO stable and I just love how the new body sits so
perfectly straight (better position than my own sitting posture) that
will do any parent proud XD~ No complains only kudos to Volks for making
so much changes and of course the added bonus of easy hand and feet
swaps is *cheers* XD~ The feel and look of the skin is different to
compared to the old resin which is much nicer to touch (in a way) and is
rather translucent. Must see to know !
But these are all just my two yens, feel free to think otherwise ^^ |
