Real Things for BJD: Apo Doll

New doll company ApoDoll will be releasing Lotus head. The 1/3 size doll head has been created by a Spanish artist (Apokripha on Den of Angels). Lotus can be ordered in normal skin or white skin resin. The heads will be cast in China. Lotus can be ordered blank or optionally with a face-up. The face-ups shown in the photos can be ordered or a custom face-up can be requested (Face-up work by the artist can be seen HERE.) The first pre-order period was open until 30 December 2011. No new preorders recognized.
Resin color matching information from the artist:
Normal Skin (neutral beige with a hint of pink): Very good match with Iple, FairyLand and SOOM NS. Dollmore NS is more pink and Leeke color is darker.
White Skin (pale ivory color): Doll Chateau (almost 100% match), SpiritDoll (almost 100% match), Doll Leaves (almost 100% match), SOOM (95% match, Soom color is a bit lighter) and SoulDoll (95% match, Soul color is a bit lighter).
