A couple of weeks ago a Souldoll Little Metel popped up in the DoA marketplace, at a good price, with a lovely non-standard faceup. I've been meaning to add a Metel to my mature-tiny menagerie for a while now, and the timing was excellent, so I sprang for her. Boy, I am not sorry at all.
While the Souldoll Little Kimmy's boy body is by far the worst mature-tiny body in my collection, the Souldoll Little girl body is by far and away the best. (I am led to understand it's a revamp of the original girl body.) The actual sculpt is aesthetically lovely, delicate, and detailed, with tiny double joints at knee and elbow that allow her to kneel and touch her face--reminiscent of the joints on my Unoa Lights, which are slightly more attractive but, quite frankly, do not work nearly so well.
In addition, the Metel can do the plonk-stand: straighten her legs and plonk her down, she stands. She doesn't buckle at the knees or wobble or fall over or anything. This is so rare in a mature tiny, you have no idea. Hell, my big guys can't do that!
The best thing, though, is that she seems to have been sculpted with Momoko clothes and shoes firmly in mind. Momoko dresses fit her like they were made for her, without the slightest bit of gapping or stretching, and formerly-unusable Azone shoes finally have a use. (I'm glad I didn't get rid of those.) After years of 'making do' with clothes that just don't quite fit, it's a rare joy to close up a dress and be completely happy with the result.
All in all, she's been the easiest mature tiny to outfit yet, and the best-looking once I was done. Now if only I liked any of the other Souldoll Littles, I'd be in business.
