In a comment to my "And Then There Were Six..." post about YNU Group Inc.'s Mixis dolls, Tracy India of Dolls and the City wrote:
For a quick illustrative comparison, I photographed First Edition Mixis Rosa with S.I.S. Barbie Marisa because Mixis dolls have a similar figure.
Head wise, Mixis dolls have a longer chin whereas the S.I.S. (Mbili) chin is round. Otherwise, as illustrated in the first and second images, Rosa's head and body are well proportioned.
Rosa is from the First Edition series, so she is not articulated. Additionally, the following nude image of the dolls illustrates the smaller-than-Barbie bust size, longer torso, and wider waist size of the Mixis dolls.
Also, Mixis dolls' feet are more proportionately sized with their body; therefore, much smaller than Barbie's and specifically the S.I.S. dolls' feet. Unlike Barbie and the S.I.S. dolls, they have a natural foot arch, illustrated below.
The natural foot arch aids in their ability to stand unsupported.
Size-wise, the Mixis dolls' feet are about the same length, maybe a little shorter, than Stardolls' as illustrated next.
I have not removed their heads for body swapping, but Roxanne's Dolls has done this. She currently has the head of Mixis Opal (with curly hair) on an action figure body as illustrated here (third doll from the left).
The Mixis clothes, shoe gear, back packs, and all other accessories are very well made. The boots zip closed and some clothing items are even lined. The only thing this line lacks is full articulation.
Hope this helps!

Beautiful girls! I would probably consider purchasing two of the ladies, your Rosa and Emerald are very appealing to me. Since they are first edition they may not be articulate. Can you tell me what the size comparison of their head to a Barbie head? Also, do you know if their heads are removable for body swapping?
