      Oh thats so helpful actually! I almost thought that the peko little body is smaller than the mdd. I really like the used mdd body I hav so far but I'm interested in seeing what the peko one would be like... maybe in the future hehe thank you so much for sharing

      I haven't managed to snag one personally, but here are some videos that might help out. I do know just from Chinese owner pics that Peko is noticeably taller than MDD, so I think their new Peko Little body is supposed to be closer in height.

      There have been so many resin dolls that I missed out on the preorder for, only to either never be able to get later, or have to pay stupidly expensive secondhand prices. In vinyl, I’m pretty new, but there was a doll several weeks ago for auction that I didn’t let myself bid that much on. I still think about her 😭

      I don’t really hide it at all, I don’t feel like I have anything to be ashamed of. No one is bold enough to say anything rude about it to my face anyway, haha.  I find most people have an image in their head when I say I collect dolls and then seem pleasantly surprised when I show them. I’ve only had maybe one friend that is creeped out by dolls but she loves me anyway so she is supportive, just doesn’t want to see them herself lol.

      Compared to the resin BJD hobby I'd say the vinyl doll hobby is definitely much less focused on custom faceups/mods. That's not to say there aren't plenty of customs or that customs aren't a big part of the hobby, but I think vinyl default faceups are just much more affordable and accessible than resin. Most resin BJD companies just don't even offer a "basic" pre-painted doll like DD Standard Models. And Standard Models are a great deal compared to just buying a blank doll-- to buy a blank DD body and a blank head on Volks USA it costs $416, and to buy Himari it only costs $74 more. That includes not only the faceup but eyes, a wig, and a simple underwear/lingerie set. To get even a very basic faceup on a resin doll it'll usually cost you about $75-100, especially if you want something professional-looking that will last. And that's JUST the faceup-- no eyes, no wig, no clothes. So most resin collectors just opt to do faceups themselves to save themselves the trouble and expense of having to ship out their doll heads to a faceup service. I'd say the reason customs/mods may seem more common on some platforms than they really are is just that they're very popular and sought-after, and they're very visually impressive and appealing so photos of them get passed around more often than the (still cute, but not especially eye-catching) default faceups. But in sheer numbers I do think that there a LOT of defaults floating around.
