Review of Action Male Body YMY23 and YMY25 by YUMENGYU

Finally, the well-known and respected hybridizer body manufacturer Yumengyu has presented the long-awaited 1/6 teenage male carcasses ✨🌟✨
Hinged bodies with a height of 23 and 25 centimeters appeared to choose from.

There are only two skintones at the moment, but there are high hopes that the shade line will be expanded over time🙏🏻
Currently, such skintones as Suntan and Milky White are offered:

For the review, we will be using two Suntan skintone bodies (23 and 25), because the purpose is to demonstrate the result of the hybridization of the brand new Harry Potter collectible from the previous review, so the bodies were ordered exclusively for him☺️

There are several types of body kits, from minimal (only with the necessary parts and fasteners) to advanced, which even have heads for OOAK and outfits.
We chose a minimal set, which includes a fixator for a large anime head, a neck adapter, several options for parts of a physiological nature (men's bodies, too😏), a screwdriver, instructions and a magnetic disk-stand, for which there are corresponding magnets in the feet.

It should be noted that the difference in height between bodies 23 and 25 is not achieved due to the continuous scaling of the bodies, but only due to the length of the two parts of the legs - the lower leg and the thigh.
The instructions even indicate that you can interchange parts of the legs, thereby adjusting the desired height of the future doll.
Also, the instructions concisely and in pictures provide all the necessary information about the use of certain parts of the set. For all manipulations with the replacement of parts, heating for 1 minute in hot water is recommended.

For those who are very anxious to prepare a wardrobe for the future doll while waiting for the body, a "road map" of appropriate measurements for sewing and knitting has already been created😊

Let's take a closer look at these wonderful bodies and their capabilities🤓
To create the bodies, quality material was not spared: it is a velvety, very pleasant to the touch matte plastic. The body has a pleasant weight, does not creak, does not fall apart, all hinges are pleasantly obedient and do not loosen.
The body has double joints in the knees and single joints in the elbows. Thoracic and lumbar joints hardly move.
From an aesthetic point of view, there is also something to admire - a well-sculpted abs and collarbones are very pleasing to the eye😍

Separately, you can order a set of gesturing palms of the appropriate skin tone, which consists of 5 pairs. The hands that come by default with the body look like normal, relaxed hands.

Bodies have very high mobility. It's a bit of a shame that the elbows aren't double-hinged, but even with that, these are the only multi-hinged bodies of this format.
And this is what they can do

In order for our Harry's head not to hang, a little volume was added to the neck connector with the help of ordinary paper tape. The connector was not changed, the one installed by default is used. The doll's head was slightly heated and easily fitted to the connector.

This is what Harry looks like on Ymy23. The body itself has a slightly tapered neck, but it's not very noticeable if you don't know 😉

Let's see how the Ymy23 and Ymy25 doll compares to other dolls overall. This must be seen in order to understand exactly which height to choose a body for this or that need.
The comparison photos show a standard Barbie, a petite, a standard Ken, and a red-haired Ron on the original body of all of Mattel's Potteriana teenagers.

And in the next photo, all the Potterian boys are collected, for whom the Suntan skintone hypothetically suits 🤗 Hypothetically - because we remember Mattel's ability to surprise us from time to time with whimsical batches of skintones, when even the same dolls have different shades😅

Unfortunately, Suntan does not suit these two handsome men, they are too light for him. A second Milky White skintone might be in the works, but that hasn't been confirmed yet. As soon as the body of such a skintone gets into our hands - we will make a comparison and update the information in this review.
