The Kim MOLD’s lips are mostly straight and horizontal, making her expression passive, serious, concerned, a little startled – even ‘left speechless’.

Their forehead, cheekbones and jaw line are also different. Crystal has wider, stronger, prominent, edgy cheekbones and jaw, making her face somewhat “rhomboidal” and a little masculine, while Kim has these traits smoother, more rounded, and also her forehead seems taller making her more delicate, feminine. This becomes more visible under extreme light conditions (light source – lamp – at close range, that enhances sharp contrasting shadows). But all these differences are very subtle making perception (detection) a very subjective process.

And last – but not least – the final difference that is more drastic although in most images is not visible – it’s their ears. The ears are SO different that you can clearly identify them. Here too – it is Crystal that has a fuller, more massive ear, with thick anti-helix and anti-tragus (anatomy domine), and a reduced ear notch (concha).

Kim’s ear is more delicate – the anti-helix and anti-tragus are slimmer, leaving room for a significantly larger ear notch. The ears don’t leave any place for subjective interpretation, the differences are clearly there, making the face/headmolds easy to identify. In a frontal view, the ears won’t help, but if seen in ¾, or even at a slighter angle – AND hair doesn’t obstruct their view – the ears are the key.
I hope this will also help to identify future dolls having these facemolds.

Sincerely Sandro
