The MDG frame is a hybrid skeleton: hard resin internal joints wrapped in soft vinyl.
The CD11 outfit is a masterclass in texture layering. The "24 Top" name is a bit of a misnomer because while it refers to the bust size, the outfit features a stunning cropped jacket as the centerpiece.
The "Cindy" sculpt is the heart of this release. For the CD11 drop, MDG employed a special "European Natural" face-up.
Collector Note: The "24" skin tone is notoriously difficult to photograph. In real life, it is a porcelain white with faint peachy undertones.

For collectors, the "Top" (large bust) body is rarer than the standard "Model" body. On the MDG frame, the "Top" bust creates a more dramatic hourglass silhouette, which allows the CD11 houndstooth jacket to flare out beautifully at the waist.
