Magnet style face/lips are much harder than body (Bt3 Nova). Oral insert is very soft but lips are very hard.
Are full head design face/lips softer than magnet faces?

Actually, the faces are poured softer for artist to work with, to paint and hand punch brows. If you have an older face, it might be the older silicone formulation. However, both types of faces use the same pour formula...

2 yrs old is a long time in doll development. Faces are softer now, but never as soft as the bodies due to the thickness of the skin on the bodies. Faces that are too soft, artists tell me its like painting in sand. They cant get the sharp lines they need for realism. Its been very difficult for them to do the robotic faces because they are very soft for the animation to work. It takes them twice as long to do a face for the robots than the static heads...
