Mattel BMR Dolls

Hey Gang!

I added the Mattel BMR 1959 dolls to my collection finally! I thought I would purchase them because I need body donors but one guys and the girl did catch my eye! 

First up...let's call him green hair! There doesn't appear to be a name for the individual dolls, so I giving them my own names. I got two of this guy as body donors. 

I have seen him styled  on FB and IG and people seem to love his face and fashions but not me!

Fashionista Ken #114 and #10 Classic Cool received the bodies

The outfit from the front!

From the back!

He has the Blaine headsculpt which I love but his face paint is a little to feminine for me.

I am not a fan of the white necklace either but I might work with a paint job!

I like the jacket! It is a keeper! The other items maybe can be combined with other doll 

clothes for an OK outfit!

I am not sure how I feel about the shoes!  I have seen them painted and they do look 

nice but am still not sure about them.

Next up is the real hair man bun"! I got three of these!  I was only planning on two 

but when he got here, he changed my mind. I liked his face. The body works well for the 

pale Ken doll that  don't -have articulation. 

Twilight Jasper and Hoa-- Asian Ken with the purple hair received the bodies.

The outfit on this guy is pretty nice. I would not put a heavy sweat-hoodie with shorts 

and sandals but hey, that is just me!

I am a fan of the crossbody bag and I do like the sandal! This guy is Mark.

Next up is the  AA Curvy girl! Now whoever styled this girl should have gotten a "F" in 

fashion school! The flowered hoodie dress with the ruffle is just NO! No,no,no,no ,no!  

It wouldn't even work for grandma!

The glasses are a Why??? Thank goodness she has a great face!

The plastic raincoat didn't work for Francie and it still doesn't work here!

I am liking the high ponytail! Besides her face and body, the pony is the only other high point!

I just had to sigh when I saw the shoes.  Were there a ton of gold boot left over from 

something else?

So here she is redressed in what I think is a more fun ourfit!

Hi, I'm Rajiyah but my friends call me Raggie!

Not sure if this guy will be a DIY or a manikin. 

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Fashionista Ken

Hey Gang!

I was surprised to find Preppy Florals Fashionista in my local Walmart!  He
was leftover from Black Friday!

Preppy Florals Fashionista.

I just love his face and a great smile!

Out of the box!

His shirt is better made that the one they came on my Cool Classic Ken.

Blue pants and tan boat shoes. 

The pants

These are a new version of the old deck shoes issued for ken in the Fashion
Avenue paks.

 Fashionista boot shoes and Fashion Avenue boot shoes.

 The bottom of the shoes have different details!

The arms and legs  are unevenly coated as in past fashionista.

Now I thought that his headsculpt might be a version of AA Slim
Fashionista Plaid on Point!

But not only does he have a different headsculpt, he does have a different face...slightly!
I think that Mattel must have a like for the Jamal/Steven headsculpt.

Many of the AA male doll seem to have some part of the that headsculpt in theirs.

Preppy Florals and Plaid on Point!

They have a similar smile and chin and shape of face but slightly different nose.

There were a few other new dolls there too but I was only looking for ethnic guys!

The darker version of Plaid on Point, Firefighter Ken looks closer but not the same.
 I really like the apron on the Barista Ken. Does one buy a doll just for the clothes?
Yes!

I originally thought he would be the same complexion as Super Stripes but he is a little
lighter.

They are like So In Style Grace and Kara!

 With Preppy being Grace

 and Stripes being Kara!

Like Stripes, there are imperfections on the body like with Stripes.  See my review of
him.

I had planned to purchase and extra AA broad body for a project I had in mind
but I won't need to do that now.

 Stripes, my Luther, in Preppy Floral fashions!

Because Mattel hasn't made many clothes for the Broad dolls and most of the new
Ken fashions don't really fit Broad bodies, I have decided that I really only need one Broad
doll and he will get all the broad clothes.

So decided to Preppy with Florals on a standard size AA fashionista body.

I am calling him Kamau!

 He is a high school Student.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
