BJD heads on Arte Tokyo or Lovely Doll?
I apologize in advance if this question has been posed before and if there's a thread that discusses this topic, it'd be great if someone could post the link.
The question as indicated in the subject is can BJD heads be used on the silicone Arte Tokyo or Lovely Doll dolls. I know that even if that were possible, there may be only some BJD heads that can be used. I'm mostly interested in the 50 cm or around that size type doll but am curious what if any compatible BJD heads are out there.
I really like the "seamless" look of the silicone small dolls but the head of the BJD dolls are so cute and detailed I was hoping that there would be some that could fit the silicone small dolls.
I also understand it may be difficult to impossible to find an exact match between skin tones but that's fine.
I've done some research on TDF but wasn't able to find useful information (may not have been using the right search terms or done enough digging).
Thanks in advance to any advice or information!
Regards,
Misana

It doesn't sound like you may have tried the BJD head on Tokyo Doll body experiment. I'm curious if others have and what their experiences were?

I apologize if the timing of this reply is not useful. I don't check this forum often.
I have not put a BJD head on either of the dolls bodies mentioned; but I have seen it-

I believe the doll images of the urls above have bodies either of arte tokio or tokyo doll.
The image provided by Nescio50 does show how the neck to head joint of arte tokio and tokyo dolls are.
It's a plastic bit that you screw to the dolls skeleton. If you could get the equivalent part for a BJD, you should be able to screw it in nicely, or at least modify it to suit.
a quick look at volks website:

seems to show that they use different neck joints to the bodies mentioned.
hope that helps.
