Haha, fuck. Unfortunately quite a bit off but maybe it won't be so bad with clothes on? I really do prefer the skipper proportions tho :(

Evi Love, Glitzeez, & overdue 4" body comparison
The 4" gang gathers to see if their new friends are best released from their prisons by true love's kiss or by a good pair of scissors. (Spoiler: it's the scissors.)
The Glitzeez fairy to the right is Zuru's current equivalent to Sparkle Girlz Minis. I found her at Five Below. Evi Love is, of course, Evi Love, the German equivalent to Kelly, younger sister of Steffi, the German equivalent of Barbie. Unlike most clones, Steffi and Evi have such extensive lifestyles that they've evolved beyond clones into their own thing.
Evi Love is all over discount stores here. I rejected swaths of them at dd's discounts, only to find a Black Evi hidden in the mess at TJ Maxx.
The Glitzeez fairy is happy to be out of her cone and surrounded by new friends! Since she's ambiguously brown, I'm declaring her to be rep for my Middle Eastern heritage and naming her Jania.
Evi Love's face-up is growing on me. The one thing I'm hesitant on is the current trend to give Black dolls Pepto-pink lips. Usually when I see a Black woman without make-up, her lips are similar to her cheek color, which would in this case be a pinky-brown.
Here they all are, looking awkward about making friends but ready for their detailed body comparison!
L-R: Mattel Kelly 1990s, Lucky Ind clone 1990s, Kid Kore 2002 updated Jodi, Funville Sparkle Girlz Mini 2018, current Evi Love, Zuru Glitzeez.
Without their clothes, it's apparent that all six manufacturers had the same rough idea, but there are still significant differences.
With all that hair, it's hard to get a good look at backs, but it's clear that the Funville and Zuru girls have the most booty, while the Kid Kore gal sacrifices it all for leg movement, and Evi is just flat back there.
Kelly and Lucky are unsurprisingly the most similar, though Lucky has a leg join more like the Kid Kore doll and appears a little plumper than Kelly.
The newer Glitzeez fairy looks a little larger than her Sparkle Girlz predecessor, as well as having shinier skin. Their painted-on shoes are identical in shape. Glitzeez's head sits higher on her neck, her eyes have a more curved lower lid, and of course, she's smiling.
Kid Kore 2002 and Evi Love are the most similar in height, but that's about it. Evi is larger in scale all over, from the size of her head to the size of her feet. She's a grayer brown, more similar to the Sparkle Girlz Mini. Despite being larger, Evi also looks younger than Neveah.
L-R: Evi Love, Sparkle Girlz Mini, Glitzeez.
Sparkle Girlz Mini (Ruby) looks more like Evi Love than like her own Glitzeez cousin (Jania).
Compared to delicate Kelly, Evi Love looks larger yet younger. She's also never going to fit into Kelly's shoes.
Unsurprisingly, Jania the Glitzeez Girl can wear Kelly clothes, just like Ruby the Sparkle Girlz Mini.
There's no way Evi Love will fit into Kelly clothes, but I am prepared.
After getting our annual vaccinations, we stopped at Dollar Tree for treats and snacks. There I discovered that the Friends Forever Club has clothing! The quality looks kind of dicey, but something about it just exudes "we will fit a 4.5" doll who's a little bulky." At $5 for four packs, it was worth a try.
Perfect fit. Evi starts her life here with four outfits beyond the one she came in! She could use more shoes, but that's a problem for another day.
The kiddies are starting to make friends! I think I've run out of minis to buy, as six seems like a good number. Evi Love isn't quite fitting in yet, but her head mold has grown on me, and her hair is adorable.

I'm assuming there's a variety of shapes and sizes bjd are made in, what made you go with the doll you used for copia?
One day around this time of year (like almost a year to the day) I got the itch to go dolly shop browsing and I saw Dream Valley Cayes at Alice's Collection website:
And I thought two things:
1. Oh wow, an MSD male with actual distinct features!! Usually MSD size (Mini Super Dollfie, 40-52cm) have more bishounen/feminine/childish features for some reason. And the male dolls have these boring, thoughtless "grillmarks" sort of abs. Dream Valley company has a gorgeously sculpted male body that poses well.
2. That's Cardi's nose! Aggh! And I fell in love with his stage costumes, so let's make him!
So I went for the sculpt instead of the size. Some people collect only one size, I collect whatever I am interested in.
Here's my biggest doll I own next to my smallest, next to Cardi (52cm, on the tall end of MSD) who is still tapping his foot and waiting for his robe to be done. (At least his feet are not cold)
Biggest doll is an SD17 (Super Dollfie 17) around 75 cm, a Meeksdoll Labella. Meeksdoll is a small creator and I love her very masculine aesthetic. Her dolls have very strong features and solid bodies. He is a WIP, as you can see by his baldness (can you tell I really dislike making wigs....)
Smallest I have is this 11-ish cm ABS plastic bunny from Hujoo (no longer around!) He was $25. And sorry he's in his skivvies I was repairing his wappenrock (15th Cent German Landsknecht male kirtle) like three years ago and I never put it back on again. I promise my dolls have clothes.
Thanks for your ask!

Last week, I received the Nendoroid Doll Height Adjustment set and I decided to take some comparison photos. The blonde Alice has the normal/standard Nendoroid Doll body. The brunette Alice has the height adjustment arms and legs.
The new legs add about 1 cm in height to an existing Nendoroid Doll. This is very noticeable. IMO it creates a lot of fun options like having a taller boy/girlfriend or a big sister/brother for your Nendoroid Dolls.
The difference between the new arms and regular arms is barely noticeable. As you can see in the comparison photos, the length difference is very small. If I had to guess, I think that it’s 0.5 cm.
So are they worth buying? Well, that depends on what you want to use them for. I bought these because I want to add some height between a Nendoroid Doll of Loid and Yor Forger compared to a regular Nendoroid Anya. I think that it will be well suited for that, given the difference between a regular Nendoroid and the Nendoroid Doll with heigh adjustments.
