Cat resin doll with a soft body future plans

I am currently working on designing a resin based doll with a soft body. So what does this mean? I want to 3D model the head, hands and feet and create a soft body which can be covered with fur. Been getting inspiration from a few online designers and OOAK dolls online and general Japanese designs.

Decided to draw up a few diagrams to explain my idea. Wanted to make a house cat as my first doll design and create a variety of other species from there. I have not settled on exact size just yet but want something that would be fun to carry around and dress up. Since I have a larger resin printer, printing the parts in most sizes won't be an issue. The head will be the most intricate as it will have hollow eye sockets so I can resin cast eyes that I can pop in through the back of the head. I love the idea of glossy eyes on dolls so want this to have the same look. I am still trying to see if the back of the head will have a soft or hard back but that is based on the final look (will probably try both and see what works best). The parts will be glued and sewn to the soft body and pellets will be added to the butt area of the doll so it has weight that it will want to naturally sit down. The resin parts will be painted and the rest will be furred. I do plan to sell a few of these as DIY dolls with un painted resin parts so you can paint the doll however you want and fur how you like. Body will be stuffed with polyfill.

If you have any questions be sure to ask. I'm excited to get this project started.
