Blythe clones comparison
In addition to my three Blythe, I also have a CCE (color changing eyes) doll and a Basaak doll. Here are some comparison pictures for those of you who consider getting a clone. I definitely recommend the Basaak over a CCE doll..!
Rooting
The CCE (to the left) is rooted in 6 even circles around the inside of the scalp, while the Basaak has 2 more rows (meaning they’re closer and the hair appears fuller), and also has a different pattern where the front of the hair is. The Basaak wins this “duel” by a mile..! A note also, that I broke the inner ring of the scalp when trying to remove the CCE scalp, while the Basaak scalp popped off just like that.
Bodies
The CCE doll has several flaws in the soft plastic legs (chips of a clear plastic inserted into it), you can see a closeup of that here (click on the photo if it shrinks in your browser). You can also see that there’s a mismatch of the front and back plates of the CCE head – even more noticable in the pic I linked above – but I believe that’s fixable. The Basaak body is quite similar to the Blythe original body, the CCE body is waaaay slimmer:
Posing
Blythe can not turn her arms outwards, CCE wins that duel:
Blythe is however the only doll who can bend her knees properly. I tried really hard to bend the other dolls’ knees, with no luck:
The CCE dolls have fairly downwards facing heads, they’re hard to photograph because of it. Here’s Bee in a Mimiwoo wig, a Sugarmag sweater, Blythe Star Dancer stock top, and Only Hearts Club pants:
I obitsued the Basaak doll, and love the way it turned out! I did have to work a bit on the body, it’s a 25 cm obitsu and they are soft bust – to make it sturdy enough for the big head and the heavy scalp I stuffed craft foam inside the torso and around the neck inside the soft vinyl shell (from underneath). I also put two small pieces of craft foam in between the neck peg and the inside of the head. Dressed in a Liv doll top, Coolcat tights, Mimiwoo sneakers, and I forgot where the hat’s from:
