Hey Gang!
As I was “
Comparin’ Aaron”, I thought I should show you my Biebers too!
I saw one comparison on Flickr. It was not complete, but I think it is worth looking at. I only have two Biebers. There are about 6 (maybe more) head sculpts out there. Three have molded hair/no smile; two with molded hair (regular and short cut) have an open-mouth smile; two with “real hair”; and one of them has an open-mouth smile. The real hair doll is a better reflection of the short haircut Bieber got.
BTW, that cut cost the toy company about 100,000.00! So the toy manufacturer isn’t smiling, even though the doll is now! Anyway, none of mine has the smile! I have #2 and #3.
I was told by Muff (Hey, it is Muff) that there are different bodies, too. Right now, I have two of the bodies. One(#2) I purchase from Muff
and one (#3) with real hair,
Leo-Sydney's brother, I purchased from TRU.
The headsculpt has changed a great deal! I'm calling the old headsculpt Hunter. He looks like a Hunter to me!
So here is what their torso looks like out of the shirts! The one with the hair is the newer body, and it is a little more streamlined at the waist.
Here is a shot of the different necks on the dolls.
The one with the hair has a pivotal neck. The other has a side-to-side turntable head. Unfortunately, the one with the pivotal neck can only look down a little bit, but not up really at all. So to me, that is not a change for the better!
Ryan from my Sydney Tryout post is also on this same older Bieber body.
He is a Hannah Montana Travis doll from the Hannah and Travis gift set.
Here he is with the Biebers.
Here are Aaron and Warren.
Here they all are together.
As I said in the Aaron post, Bieber items are selling well. Some of it is Justin's popularity as a person, and the other is the entire doll world fed up with Mattel's fashions! Muff posted back in 2011 about
Justin Bieber’s Carnage. Boxes and bodies tossed for clothing!
The Bieber’s fashions are more real! I hope to scoop up some of his outfits for the males around here. Only TRU in my area seems to have the outfit sets! They are the cheapest for the dolls, too!
His new outfits for next year are said to be great too, if the 2012 Toy Show is any gauge! I guess I’ll try to have some money ready for them! I think I'll just have to sew something for now.
OK, Thanks For Looking!
