Old Dolls Get New Life..Or At Least A New Body!

 Hey Gang!

I found these two Ken MTM body clones from China. They were about $6.00.I thought that wasn't too bad.

This one is in a medium dark brown...

and the other is in a light beige.

In the listing for the body, you can see that the body is highly possible.

This is a new body type.  It has a short neck that moves from side to side. It isn't suitable for dolls with a pivot neck.

Pivitol head neck

Side-to-side neck

This is an upgrade from the other clone male articulated bodies.

Original articulated.

Here are the dolls I was able to rebody.  On some, the neck is a little small, but they still work for me.

I wrap a little tape around the neck stem to keep the head from slipping off.

Steven, Dwaye, and Captain Sisko.

Menelik boys!

Alejandro and Aston!

I was even able to put Tre's head on this body!

Here is the body compared to other clone bodies.

Old clone body, Kidd Ken, and new MTM clone body.

It is so nice to have my old dolls up and playing!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

The Fresh Squad!

Hey Gang!

The dolls from Fresh Squad have arrive! 

Anthony, Malik and Daniel! There is a swagger to these guys! They were a really great purchase. These dolls are really handsome! 

MaIik is the true Urban King! really love Malik's hair! It is really full!

He comes with the most! He has a jacket, plaid shirt,short sleeve white shirt, jeans and read sneakers.

All dolls come with a laptop, glasses and phone.

Jacket removed, plaid shirt.

White shirt which is slightly stretchy. 

All the doll are bulkier than Ken. There was some time spent in the gym.

Malik's chest compared to Texas Cheerleader chest.

Malik's body is mature... too mature for some of the young looking Fashionista Ken dolls.

I thought about switching the bodies on these two but Malik will keep his body.

Anthony with his bald head is quite suave!

He wears a red jacket.

Flashy and sexy!

Anthony Hey there! he wears a pair of black pants and .... 

a shiny top! 

He looks ready for the club!  I think I need to pierce his ears. He seems to be an accessories kind of guy!

The shirt surprisingly doesn't have Velcro closure.

Black shoes!

Being an accessories kind of guy, Let's try a few!

Glasses

Watch cap

Bowler

Cowboy hat

Ace-Duce the Fedora

Radar Cap

On backward 

Flat Cap

The neck knob is easier to deal with than Ken dolls but still, be careful.

Maybe JB with alterations.

Might work with alterations for Brad or Curtis.

Menelik was the wrong complexions.

I was hoping he could be a body donor for some of my older Steven/AA Ken dolls but no! Those dolls are to light.

Closeup!

Daniel dressed as a county Count!

Next up is Daniel!

I was able to take a picture of him in the box. That is rare for me!

Here he is in his jacket on out of the box.

The camo jacket is a great detail!  

With the jacket off, he had a long sleeve shirt with a placket on the front. It is the same material as the short sleeve shirt on Malik.

I purchase two Daniels because I new he would make a good body donor from post that I have seen on FB.  Here is on Daniel on a Prince and the Pauper Dominique doll body.  You might notice that the doll on the right has more hair than the other.

Here is Fashionista #131 on a Daniel body.

Here is Twilight New Moon Jacob on a Daniel body.

You can see the other clothes easily, but let's look at the pants!  Malik wears jeans. They are pretty basic.

The pants for Anthony and Daniel are similar in construction but the color and the fabric are different!

Daniel's pants are khaki and Anthony's pants are black.  Also Anthony's pants are stretchy which means they could be used for bigger doll than Anthony.

OK, Thanks For Looking!
