I have been searching the internet for a Petitcollin Minouche BOY and apart from Eloi, the one I already have, I haven't been able to find one for sale anywhere! It's very frustrating and I think this is because Petitcollin don't make many boys and those who have, are keeping them.
So I thought perhaps I could turn another female doll into a little boy, but the only "odd" dolls I have are my Corolle Les Cheries, a Paola Reina Las Amigas (which I purchased by mistake - when she arrived I found I already had one) and my Vestida de Azul Paulina.
Looking at them side by side, I think Paulina's head is a little too large, so I discounted her.

Then I thought about Chad from Maru & Friends, his size (listed below) would be compatable, but I'm not sure about the vinyl. If it's similar in colour to the Dianna Effner Little Darlings (which as you can see from my photo, are not skin coloured at all) I don't think I would be at all happy.

Does anyone have one of these dolls? If you do I'd love to know what his vinyl looks like in real life, as it will help me make a decision.
Of course this wouldn't be a permanant fix, I will replace him if and when I find a real Minouche boy, but he/she will do for now.
