Heads that fit 55cm Obitsu?

Hey there everyone! So it's been a while since I got my 55cm boy, but I'm still at a loss for a new head to get for him. I was going to get an SQlab head, but they never replied to me. So I looked around some more and found the Parabox Luna head that I really loved, but then saw a note that it fits all bodies EXCEPT the 55cm one. OTL I really want to do an anime look for him, so I'm trying to find a head that fits that style. I've been looking everywhere but I'm at a complete loss. Does anyone have any suggestions? Or would anyone know if it's possible to mod the Luna head to fit?

I never read that when I bought a Luna head for my 55cm Obitsu male ;)

All I did was use a hair dryer to hep get it on his head, as per standard vinyl operating procedure :D

2 Luna heads - 50cm female body on left, 55cm male body on right.

The neck appears slightly too large for the neck (there's a small gap on each side near the back, not really visible and the right wig would hide it completely), and he has less sideways or forward head tilting than on the 50cm body (which doesn't seem to have much, either - so I might just suck at putting heads on or posing them ;) ). The head turns left and right and tilts back the same though

That's awesome! Thank you so much for the info and photo! I might get the Luna head after all then. I really liked it and was really bummed when I read that it wouldn't fit. There's so many ways to mod dolls though, I shouldn't be surprised that someone's done it anyway. lol And it's better to know that it may not even need actual modding. Thank you! =^u^=

Parabox's recommendations on what heads fit which bodies are based on their own aesthetics of what head has the right "look" for a certain body, not on any mechanical incompatibility. All the Parabox and Obitsu vinyl heads use the same connection type as all the available Obitsu/Parabox bodies, from the 40cm up to the 65cm. The Luna head will mechanically fit on the large 65cm Obitsu body, but it will look very small and out of place to most people. Parabox recommends the Gretel for the 55/60cm bodies, not the 50cm body. My girl Diamond (a Gretel, not a Gretel 47) has been on a 50cm body for many years and I think she looks fine.

It's really up to the individual owner/creator to decide what head looks right on what body.

Awesome, thank you! I'm still a bit new to complete Obitsu dolls, so I still have a lot to learn about them. Especially the 40-60cm range. >w<; I appreciate the info and link! Your girl looks amazing!
