Nianta Doll — Body Shape Reference Guide
Different buyers look for different qualities in a figure: portability, photographic presence, or a specific silhouette. This guide explains Nianta’s common body categories, provides the key measurements you need to compare at a glance, and helps you choose a figure that fits your lifestyle — whether that means a compact, easy-to-handle model or a tall, commanding presence for photos and display
Why Body Shape Matters
Visual proportions & aesthetic:Height and proportions define the overall character — petite figures feel delicate and intimate; taller bodies create a striking, dramatic look.
Practical handling & storage:Lighter, more compact dolls are easier to lift, pose, and store. Consider where you’ll keep and move the doll.
Poseability & skeleton choice:Some body types paired with a carbon-fiber skeleton allow more dynamic posing with less weight to handle
Styling & accessories: Clothing, wigs, and props fit differently by body size — foot size affects shoe choices; head circumference affects wig fit and head swaps.
Use case: Photography, cosplay, roleplay, or display each call for different proportions and mobility.
Common Nianta Doll Body Types
Petite (approx. 150 cm)
Overview: Compact, lightweight; ideal for collectors with limited space or first-time owners.
Typical weight: 23–27kg.
Best for: Cosplay of chibi/smaller characters, tight-space storage, easy handling and repositioning.
Style note: Maintains cute proportions; often sells well for people seeking an approachable, low-effort option.
Standard (approx. 158–164 cm)
Overview: Balanced proportions, closest to many natural reference heights; versatile for many uses.
Typical weight: 28–40kg.
Best for: General-purpose users — photography, cosplay, and display. Good middle ground between portability and presence.
Style note: Works well with a wide range of wardrobes and photo compositions.
Tall (approx. 167–171 cm)
Overview: Strong visual presence, often used for “goddess”, “model”, or “dominating” character profiles.
Typical weight: 32–40 kg.
Best for: High-impact photography, showroom display, or users who prefer an imposing silhouette.
Style note: Requires more storage space and handling care but offers excellent compositional scale in photos.
