COMPARISON: MSDBoy vs. Angell-StudioGirl vs. UnoaBoy vs.BlueBoy

BJD Comparison

Disclaimer: This comparison post contains doll nudity for the purpose of a thorough comparison, and is in no way sexual or meant to be erotic. If this bothers you, please do not continue. Also! My doll was sent WITHOUT his genitals. I have no idea why, but I think the seller forgot. I'm currently trying to fix this problem. So right now, he's a scary neuter doll. Sorry about that. It's actually quite terrifying looking.

Specs

Elliott is a Volks Hewitt II MSD Long-Legged Boy, and Kendall is a Angell-Studio F-Nicety Vera girl, Matto's B-el (who I shall call Matto for the rest of the comparison) is a Unoa B-el Boy, and Tim is a LatiBlue Boy Rei on the A-type body. They are 44 cm, 43 cm, 44.5 cm, and 46 cm tall respectively. The Unoa is a very nice doll, and L-bi is my dream doll. (I'm trading Matto this B-el faceplate for her L-bi faceplate.) Overall, I'm quite satisfied with it, though I've been spoiled by other companies when it comes to resin quality and weight, and I've grown accustomed to the height and posability of the LatiBlues, so sometimes I feel the Unoa is a bit on the short-side for an older looking mini, and that he can be a bit restricted when it comes to movement.

Resin

Please refer to the LatiBlue vs. Volks MSD comparison and LatiBlue vs. Volks MSD vs. Angell-Studio F-Nicety comparison for their resin differences. Matto is from the one and only Unoa boy preorder about two years back (though the second one is coming up in a few weeks-- finally). His resin is lighter than the Pureskin, and is less textured than the Lati resin, but still textured in a similar, speckled manner. It's shiny in certain parts, and though it's light and thin in some parts, it feels pretty nice.

Posing

I've tried tightening him, but his construction renders him pretty loose despite the tight strining. His posing is nice, but I can understand what people meant when they said that the Unoas may not have a wide range of movements, but do everything with grace. He's very good at posing in general, but he's definitely limited when it comes to knee movements and leaning a good amount forward. I haven't sueded him yet, but I feel there's a need to because his joints are so slippery. His back piece likes to pop out a lot, and the thigh pieces on his leg appear to be coming loose after these two years of use (I got him second-hand). I'll need to reglue them with something permanent later, but for now I'm keeping it in with some washable glue.





Front and side-to-side comparison from shortest to tallest: Volks MSD, Angell-Studio F-Nicety, Unoa Boy, and LatiBlue. The resin color is more obvious in photos, but IRL these guys are pretty close-- other than Latis being more flushed looking. While the LatiBlues and Unoa are both mature minis, the LatiBlues are HUGE and can wear SD shirts (which is what they wear most of the times), and they burst through the pants meant for the Volks MSD. Meanwhile, the Unoa is too slim for the Volks MSD pants, so they slide off of him with ample room. His upper torso is petite in the same way the F-Nicety is, but he does not have huge cleavage. He is tiny, but still rather masculine and lanky. He's just a smidge taller than the Long-Leg MSD, and is about the same height as the F-Nicety. The LatiBlue coninues to tower.



The Unoa has a small tuckus compared to the other three. His knees are very pretty, and there is nice detail to his back.



Their hips are just about lined up here. The F-Nicety and Unoa have just baout the same length in the legs, but the Unoa has thicker legs.



Leaning test. The LatiBlue is unable to lean, so he's been omitted from this section. The Unoa leans decently, but not as expressively or deep as I would prefer. The F-Nicety leans the best.



I pushed the Unoa to lean anymore, and I think I'm using his backpiece wrong at this point. He's very unstable when forced to lean like that. The backpiece sometimes pops out, which can be quite annoying.



I aligned them at the shoulders so you can see how long their torsos are. The F-Niecety and Unoa are very similar here, too.



Another view of the back, but you can see that the torso joint is at the same spot on the F-Nicety and Unoa. The Unoa has longer thighs, and the F-Nicety has longer calves.



Unoa foot vs. LatiBlue foot.



F-Nicety foot vs. Unoa foot. These two are also much closer in size.



Volks MSD foot vs. Unoa foot. The feet are about the same length, but the Unoa has thinner feet.



Volks MSD hand vs. Unoa hand. About the same level of detail on all of the hands, actually.



The Unoa hands are thinner.



LatiBlue hand vs. Unoa hand. The LatiBlue hand has thinner fingers and palms.



The LatiBlue has less palm definition, but more detail in the bones of the hands.



F-Nicety hand vs. Unoa hand. The F-Nicety has smaller wrists.



Here you can see that the Unoa has longer fingers, too.



Kneeling test. The Unoa sucks at kneeling. He was balancing very precariously, and managed to knock over the other dolls twice. It's sad when the F-Nicety is better than him at something.



A front view. At least he doesn't lean to the side when he kneels.



Unoa kneel vs. LatiBlue kneel.



Unoa kneel vs. F-Nicety kneel.



Unoa kneel vs. Volks MSD kneel.



Aligned at the hips. Repetitive, but there are some small differences that some people might be interested in.



Close-ups of definition and arm length.. F-Nicety vs. Unoa vs. LatiBlue. The Unoa has gentle abs. The F-Nicety and LatiBue have longer arms.



Volks MSD vs. Unoa vs. LatiBlue. The Volks MSD has the same arm length as the Unoa.



Matto on Elliott's body. The neck fits nicely, actually. It just looks terrible, is all. Resin match is nicer in the photos, honestly. The S-hook works on the Unoa.



The Unoa rod doesn't fit in the Volks head, and I didn't want to steal the S-hook to try. The size isn't great, anyways. The head is too big.



Unoa head on the LatiBlue body. A couple of people were requesting this. I have to say-- it looks pretty good. The problem is that the neck on the LatiBlue is bigger, so the Unoa head sits higher up and doesn't look as good that high. The head starts looking weird at certain angles where the thick neck shows more obviously. The headsizes between the two dolls are about the same, though, and they actually look really good next to each other.



Sorry that these started to get really out-of-focus. :( But here, you can see the maximum amount of head tilt before the neck shows.



Couldn't get the Unoa rod to work on the O-ring slot, so the stringing wire is still there. This actually looks really nice-- especially since we used the Rei head, which is more childish looking than the Rucas or Kahn head. It takes a little getting used to, but if one wanted a shorter LatiBlue boy, this would work. The head just needs to be blushed pinker to match the body.



The hybrids together.



Wigs and sitting. The photo hides the difference, for some weird reason. It's not too bad IRL, either. They look pretty good together, though the LatiBlue head on Unoa body hybrid looks better than the B-el head on LatiBlue hybrid. The latter isn't a bad hybrid, though.



The awkward overtilting that shows the neck.



Not bad at all.



Hope you enjoyed. See you. :)
