"Maiko" and "MIKI-Petite" are custom made hybrids by me.

Basically you export the body of one figure and the head of another as objects and then create a new neck in a modelling program like Wings3D.

Then you build a new figure from these parts, hack an existing cr2, transfer morphs and rework the joint parameters, where necessary.

Do a search for "Frankensteining" in the archive for some tutorials.

Textures are a problem, sometimes, but many figures have been remapped to V2 standard in the past.

For example my Valeri-3 hybrid uses a V3 body that was remapped to V2, and a Posette head that was remapped to V2, too, so now the whole figure can take V2 textures. (Even V2 MATs work)

Unfortunately noone has yet remapped MIKI to take V3 or (better) V2 textures, so both my MAIKO as well as MIKI-Petite use different textures for their heads and their bodies.

But if one matches the AIKO/SP3 body texture in Photoshop to the MIKI head texture before applying, the postwork needed around  the neck where both textures "meet", is minimal.
