To elaborate...

We have to get our Secret Keeper first. But after that, maybe....

Anyhow, which of these fellows do you think looks more like my gorgeous self? Just considering facial features, not hair, because it's all wigs anyhow.

http://bladespark.topcities.com/art/darkangeltest.jpg There's me, if you can't recall.
http://bladespark.topcities.com/art/aidgrin.jpg is a good one of my twin, and as we look the same, save for the hair and the sense of style, it'll work too.

Here's the options we're looking at thus far:
http://img.dreamofdoll.com/co_img006/hsh933/etc/dodup.jpg Man, this one looks awesome, but the face shape may not quite be right, and it's a slightly younger look. Which is okay, but I dunno....
http://www.dollpeddlar.com/images/D1Yang.jpg does look a bit older, and the chin is right, I think, but I'm not so sure about the eye shape and the eyebrows, they're not arched at all.

Then there's this http://domuya.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1_29_4&products_id=8 which supposedly is the larger version of the Yang Jr, but it doesn't really look like it to me! The eyebrows are different, and the facial proportions are too. I like this one. And it's big. And expensive. But neat. I wish I could see what all these would look like with the correct wig on.

Anybody who knows much about ball jointed dolls is welcome to suggest one as well. So far I've just been following assorted google searches for them, and seeing what I turn up. And if and when I do get one, there will be a lot of work to do to get it right, as the outfit, and the wings especially, need to be just so. Heck, I could get two outfits and have myself and Rhiannon...

He he he. Yeah, if they had one with the right facial shape, I'd be all over it. But none of them are quite right, and if I'm going to blow $300 or so on a doll, it needs to be perfect.

(Man, I'm developing expensive hobbies.)

ive been looking atthese for ages anf to be honest, youre really gonna be hard pressed to find one with a squared jaw and face shape youre wanting.

Not square! Just not round cheeked either. The Domuya one there has the perfect face shape, but the eyes and eyebrows are wrong.

if its the eye colour thats wrong, you can order any colour eyes, and the brows can be sanded off and applied they way ou like them. theyre very customizable! theyre like larger versions of Pullip dolls and if you like i can locate tutorials for customizing Pullips.

I know about eye color, I'm not looking at that. It's more the shape. And particularly the eyebrows, which if that's as readily changed as you say, is very good!

Thanks! Though this is still a long ways off, really. (And as if I need more projects and hobbies. Oh well.)
