A Quick Comparison: Illusion Spirit mini and Volks SDC Hands

Since Volks has yet to release option hands for the SDC boys, a question that pops up fairly often is about the alternatives that might be out there. Illusion Spirit's jointed hands are one option that comes up fairly frequently, and while I don't have those, I do have an Illusion Spirit mini with their standard hands, which have the same wrist joint, so if you're curious about the fit, this is for you!
Top row: IS hand on SDC arm front & back.
Bottom row: SDC Miko and IS Zhu Qing, each wearing the other's right hand.

The wrist joint on the IS hand is slight smaller than the SDC one, but still fits reasonably well. I can't speak to the colour match since my IS sample is tan, but it looks like fit wouldn't be an issue at least.

  1. Hi JS,
    I don't have either of those dolls, but it's still good info to stow in the memory banks. One never knows what the future holds in the way of dolls. (Especially with me.) :)
    Hugs,

    2. The sisters (not the anime type) dolls in particular really enchanted me :-). I found a database (Where angels lie) and have been looking on Flickr etc., and am so impressed by these dolls!

    3. Oh, Where Angels Lie is a great resource! It's a shame they don't have the newest dolls on it, but as an archive it's one of my favourites as well. :)
