More Bodies From China And Clones!

 Hey Gang!

In a previous post, I talked about bodies from China, but I only spoke about girl bodies. There are also male bodies. They have short necks, and most don't have torsos that articulate like Fashionista and The Look dolls. Here are doll bodies, but you can look for action figure bodies!

Warning: Nude Dolls/Nude Bodies

Most have articulated elbows, wrists, and knees, but a few also turn at the waist.

This body is used for the AA clones dolls like the one below. So, let's take a look at some clones!

First up!

This guy.

 

                                                        

I'm calling him this guy because these dolls aren't listed with a name. He is a clone of Fashionista Ken # 130. Maybe he should be called faux #130. 

He is available in a rooted version or with molded braids like those shown above.

Black and...

White/very light versions who doesn't come with an articulated body.  I have purchased a few loose bodies and gave him one.

Next up is... 

The clone of Romeo from the Romeo and Juliet set. 

As you can tell, it is not a bad copy.

The body

Here is the full body.

I dressed him in this outfit.

He is now ready for a storyline and blog time.

Then there is...

The Country Duet Ken doll

This guy isn't as good of a copy.

Finally...

DC Superman 

This one is a good copy.

The body.

I wanted to put my BTS RM doll on a taller body because he is the tallest member ot the group. I found this 30cm body on a few of the Chinese sites.

RM on his new body compared to his old body. I like his new height!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Quick Post!

 Hey Gang!

This is a quick post. I recently found colored clay and resin, along with resin hardener, at the Dollar Tree. Although I haven't worked with either before, for $1.25, I can experiment with them. If you have any tips, please let me know.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Family Madrigal!

 Hey Gang!

During the Amazon Prime sale, I purchased the Disney Encanto Ultimate Madrigal Family Dolls Gift Set, which includes 12 Dolls.  

I had all the other dolls except for Abuela, Julieta, and Agustin. Here is the family tree.  I plan to insert some new members.

During the Prime sale, the set was 59.99! That is just $5.00 per doll! I couldn't pass that up! Now I have the three that I didn't own.

I will have these dolls live in St. Malcomb most of the time, but will visit Johnston. Abuela and Juleeta will be turning out wonderful food for the guests of the Chateau.

Abuela looks like my mom!

Agusttin is the Concierge and head of staff at the Chateau at St. Malcolm.

I would love to give them articulated bodies. Hopefully, I can find some.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

America's Finest Fireman Action Figure 21st Century Toys 1/6th Scale 2000!

 Hey Gang!

Back in 2000, I purchased this action figure. It is the 21st Century Toys America's Finest Fireman.  I have the African American version. 

Cover!

Back!

Face

Tools

.

This was a time in my collecting when I purchased several action figures because there weren't many black male doll options.

Out of the box

He has an interesting face! He looks a lot like someone you would see on the street.

Back

Pants and great boots.

Warning: Nude doll/action figure.

He has the Ultimate Soldier action figure body.

I decided to make him my Fire Chief. His name is Woodrow"Woody" Reid.  

He will need a Fire Station and other firefighters.. Let me see what I can do about that.

Woody: Well, it's about time, Ms. Leo! I have been sitting around here for years.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Magic Of Merlin!

 Hey Gang!

I first saw the Merlin and Morgan Le Fay doll set in Barbie Bazaar. I don't think I ever saw them in Toys R Us. 

Photos are from Barbie Bazaar.

Barbie Bazaar did an interesting photo shoot with the dolls, too! 

Morgan's face looked exotic. 

And there was something about the gray hair of Merlin.

While browsing eBay, I spotted him at a great price, so I had to put in a bid and won! He came out of the box without shoes. No biggie! Here he is.

Close up!

Under the beard, he has the 40th Anniversary Ken doll headsculpt.

The rest of his outfit is complete with great details. I love the embellishment on the cuff and shawl.

The back.

Note the embroidery on the shawl.

Once the hat is removed, you can get a good look has this hair. It is soft, Baby fine, and a little fly-away.

It is full.

Out of his robe, he has the 1977 articulated body. You can't see it for the beard.

So I moved it aside.

To make him usable as a character, some of the beard will have to go. The fly-away hair will have to be addressed. I will post him after his makeover.
