I've Got Greg!

 Hey Gang!

I found Naturalista Greg, the new male Naturalista doll, from Target.com for $8.99! He is the first of the male doll in the collection.

His story and motto is on the back of the box.
Out of the box
Closeup on his face. He has a cute face with full lips! Gotta love a man with full lips!
Hairstyle: Short and neat with temple fade
The shirt says Fade Collection Naturalista
Notice the back of the head isn't faded like the sides. So not a Philly Fade!
Steven with Philly Fade!
Shirt velcro closure.
He has a nicely sculpted chest.
Pants from the front-He has pull up khaki pant. 
Pants from the back.
The pants are well made and that is a plus! The pull on waist make them easy to us for other dolls.
He has hair pick sneakers that the pants are worn baggy over. I heard that this style is popular.
Foot comparison. They are the same size! Footwear shouldn't be a problem.

Warning! Nude Doll

Body from the front!
Arms bend at elbows but knee don't bend.
Body from the back!
As you can see, he is shorter than Fresh dolls. I have heard that the Fresh Dolls Malik was a good match as a body donor. I only purchased one Malik.  I have a few extra Kahlil bodies but they are too red!
I only have one extra AA Texas Cheerleader body but tried it and it looks great! Perfect match! Sadly, AA Texas Cheerleader was the only AA doll with this body.  The cacasian body was used for several dolls.

Note! The head is hard to get off without messing up the flocked hair! So be careful if you do it. The neck hole is small like a lot of the Disney dolls done by Hasbro. It is hard to get the head of of the peg. Heating the head might make the flocking come off. I heated the neck only and was able to get the head off without losening the hair.
This body gives him good height!

I can't wait to see the rest of the guys!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Fashionista Ken 212

 Hey Gang!

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time! I got really sick after the Flower Show and am just started feeling a little like myself.

I purchased the new Fashionista Ken #212.

Promo Photos from Mattel-In the box

Ken #212 is a new headsculpt. I would describe him as AA/Hispanic. 
 He has a left prosthetic leg. 

He has sculpted hair with  beautiful brown eyes and a great smile.

He wears a tie-die top.
 light purple shorts with green sneakers.

My Photos!

This is also a new box for Barbie dolls!  It is not so difficult to open.

The side of the box has pictures of the other new dolls.
Doll out of the box (here on referred to as OOTB)
You can see his prosthetic leg in the shorts.

For a better look at the leg.

He comes on the type of Ken classic body that have sideways movement of the arms but not the legs.

If you are looking for a articulated body swap, I would suggest BRM AA Neon (the best match).

On the neon body!
He needs a name and a story!


 or Fresh Squad Kahlil which is a little darker.

OK, Thanks For Looking!

New Fresh Squad Kahlil and Malik Vs Kahlil Comparison!

 Hey Gang!

I ordered  The Fresh Doll Kahlil  from Walmart .com. I ordered  three dolls to be delivered to my home. Because of his complexion and the price I knew I need more than one! 

Dr. Lisa did a great job! I think at her price point and quality, she might change the doll game. There is a $7.00 difference between Fresh Squad doll and Mattel Made to Move doll! 

This is how they arrived. They were dropped off in a handle bag on my steps. It is a good thing I really wanted these dolls because I tracked them and knew when they showed up on my steps.

Dr. Lisa!

Promo Photos Fresh New Outfit!

With fresh new purple bottom sneakers!

New articulation!

My Malik has been here turning heads for a while! My girl doll think he is one of the hottest dolls I have added to my collection in a while.

I think it was Etienne!

Back to Kahlil and out of the box!


Closeup!
Shorts
The outfit so you can see it. It alone is worth the cost of the doll!
The new sneaker are of a heavier quality than most doll shoes. Go Dr. Lisa!

What else is new about this Fresh Squad Doll!

The elbow joints are new and more articulated.


It is not quite as good as Mattel but it is better than the old Fresh Squad.
Kahlil and Looks body on Fashionista Ken doll head.
The knees have change so that he can cross his leg.

His hair is shinier and fused at the ends to keep it from unraveling!

Warning Nude dolls!

The body has more of a matte finish.
Closer to BMR Green hair
You could swap! I just have the head sitting on the body. I should be pushed down.

Comparing Kahlil to Malik 

Kahlil vs Malik!
Malik is darker.
Kahlil is more pronounced! His hair is shinier, his face paint is darker and his eyes are larger.
Malik has longer hair but Kahlil's hair is thicker.
.
Kahlil hair is rooted to the nape of his neck and Malik hair is only par of the way.
Kahlil head is a solid caramel brown while Malik is a bit more darker and translucent. 
You can see that Kahlil's hair is different shinier and of a different material and tighter.
The hair band is black on Kahlil!
The neck hole is a bit larger on Kahlil.
The neck knob is different too!
Kahlil is a great doll but I am still loving my Malik! I think because of his translucent head, it is easier to move his head to a Kahlil body than vice versa.
Malik on Kahlil body
So that is what I will do!
Sterling will get the old Malik body since it appears to be a more mature body than the AA cheerleader body I had him on.

So on his new body but back in one of his outfits is my Malik!

OK, Thanks For Looking!
