You may want to ask forum member Tighes1 about this. Also possibly BigChilli. From memory, AF/AS/JY/Aibei 'light tan' is the most direct match with Kimber TPE tone.
Also be aware that not all doll heads are actually proportional to anything over 130cm. This is not always made clear. Some are just tiny and will look bizarre. Be sure to browse galleries from multiple vendor sites (example - unapproved, but very user friendly gallery site), and search for the doll here on TDF for owners pics that will show the head in a variety of poses, angles, and lighting on different bodies.
Re: Extra Heads
I see WM and M16 mentioned so at least I know that option. When I look at other sites that sell extra/spare heads there doesn't seem to be much in the way of detail on how the head attaches and whether or not it would be suitable with the M16 bolt.

From above:
Most leading brands including those listed in this post will use M16 connectors, either a threaded tube or the better quick connect variety which will hold the head in place using bearings you can tighten or loosen with an allen key/hex key. If using the quick connector you should hear it 'pop' twice as the head is installed. If you do not then the bearings are either too tight or too loose. You can smear a tiny amount of vaseline around the thread to protect the thread. Do not touch the face after handling the head bolt as it is often a little dirty, and you can accidentally damage the face as you apply pressure to connect the head. Handle the head by the back of the skull and the top. Head removal and installation is best done with the wig removed.FCD94 wrote:You may want to ask forum member Tighes1 about this.

I was looking on the SANHUI site and found some info on their heads:
Head Installation: For the 118cm and bigger size dolls, we use the so called plug in/pop out neck joint design, which makes it extremely easy to put on and take off the head. For the smaller size dolls, we use the traditional screw on/off neck joint design. For the 160cm AIO doll, you can't change the head.
https://sanhuiofficial.com/blog.html#head-installation shows what you've described and looks to be similar M16 so should work on a Kimber.
The Sex doll genie site shows a review with the same configuration https://sexdollgenie.com/pages/reviews but doesn't mention which doll it is.
USD$500 seems to be around the usual price so I won't be in any hurry to grab a spare head, but nice to know the option is there.
