Have you ever bought a doll just for the head? I know I have! So this time I just bought the head.
I have been wanting the 2015 Prince Naveen Classic doll the but there hasn't been a Disney store locally for a while and the eBay price for him is ridiculous. I know, I do have two other of the Naveen dolls in my collection. The Mattel and the first Disney store doll but not the 2015. I have even seen him modified on Instagram. I thought WOW! That's what I want to to! So when I found a head for under $5.00, I had to get it! And wait for it...I got a $4.00 coupon which meant I only spent $1.65. Woo Hoo!
I had a Flynn Rider body that I wan't using because I put Flynn(Gavin) on another body. It isn't a perfect match but it will do for now.
Mattel doesn't do many male face sculptures all at once. As a matter of fact,
there are currently more male face sculptures in all Mattel's lines now than
ever. Right now in their Barbie playline ( not including Gamer) there is one
Ken face sculpture (some with different hair), two AA face sculptures
(one an old and one new), and one the have not given a background.
In contrast because of movie merchandising, Disney has always had more
and different head sculptures released at the same time. There is normally
a male character for each female lead character.
In the beginning of my doll collecting, the of the first males
I purchased was not Mattel Ken but a Disney male by Mattel.
Yes this guy Kocoum. On a new body and named Bison Most of the first Disney
male doll available in toy store were made by Mattel for Disney back then. He is still my favorite but he does have some competition!
And in the beginning, I was skeptical of Disney dolls especially the one not made
by Mattel! I didn't really like them. I thought their heads were too big and their eyes
were too cartoonish! Yep, Disney had balloon head dolls before Mattel did them.
Disney Bell
Mattel Fashion Fever
I didn't think Kocoum was made that way! His head is not so large and maybe because
he was a serious character, he doesn't look so cartoonish! Mattel with Disney has done one
of the few Native American male doll or indigenous male dolls....
I have slowly been worn down! I guess it started with Li Shang and Naveen. There
are just so few male fashion dolls and fewer ethic male dolls that I add Disney males
to expand my collection. I hate having single female dolls around. They seem lonely.
Li Shang Disney store and Mattel side by side.
Naveens!
Disney and Mattel.
I even purchased a new Li Shang with molded hair. I will make him a brother.
After purchasing the Mattel version of these male dolls, I started looking at
the Disney store versions and purchased them too! Mattel only came out with one Asian!
Thank goodness there have been AA Ken/Stevens and others.
I have added Lucas to my collection! Yes, that is the name that I have given him.
He is Disney Prince Philip!
I might change his body but not right now!
I might want to do what pseudanoymous did from Flickr did body wise but I really
have plans to do what he did to Flynn Riderhair. For now I only have the doll!
I also purchase a Frozen Kristoff.
The doll they sold in the stores had the molded on clothes but the eye looked
forward. The Disney store doll had clothes you could take off but it was side
glancing. As you might know, side glancing is not my favorite! I got both at
thrift stores thinking the heads would be interchangeable but they were not the
same complexion nor do that have the same neck knob.
I have come across many Captain Phoebus doll!
They make great body donors for darker complexion 70's, 80's and 90's.
I has used him for Kocoum. He is a good match but I like the liker AA
body for him even better.
I decided to give him a repaint and make him a Native American. His facial
features work to me. The hair and the eye color were wrong though.
Cheveyo!
He was asked by Running Bear to preform the Cleansing Ceremony for the longhouse.
So here are some of the last of my rebodied dolls for 2015. I am trying to rebody
all the dolls I use
regularly. It makes it easier for blogging, photos and dios. I got a
bunch of bodies from the thrift store in September and had to hind them when I got
home. I took me quite a while to remember I had them and to remember where I
hid them.
Last year I rebodied my Mattel Prince Naveen doll, known in
my dollie world as
Rahim Reeves, onto a body that had three click knees. That was good but it wasn’t the best.
He is now rebodied on to a Happy Family
father doll. He can now bend at the
knee and bend at the elbow and twist at the waist. His job will be as a
Pharmaceutical Sales Representative. He is wearing the Donald Trump suit.
I also have a Hannah Montana Lola doll. Lola, known in my dollie world as
Phoebe, is on a Hannah Montana Stylin ‘ Fashion doll body.
The new body has arms that bend at the
elbow and three click knees. She is
one of my college girls. She loves color and she is a bit of a free spirit too!
My Princess Kida doll, known in my dollie world as Vikki,
has been or her
original body since I got her.
I have been able to cover up the medallion
with a top but that is not
what I really wanted. I love her long white/gray
hair. Long gray hair is unusual. Many people with gray hair cut it but she
will keep her's long!
I have painted her eyes and now rebodied her onto a Fashionista Artsy body.
Full body shot!
I will feature her later as one of my Gray Foxes but not now!
I have had a Taylor Swift doll for a long time but haven’t decided if I
wanted
to sell her or not. I don’t really think she looks like the artist. I liked her
face
but didn’t like the body. She had one of the Hannah Montana style bodies with
non bendable arms that sung. Nothing is worst than hearing one of those singing
dolls go off at 3:00 am! Anyway, She will now be known in my dollie
world
as Marilyn.
The eyelashes make her look Marilyn Monroe-ish. She is on a Disney store
Rapunzel body. She will be one of my college girls.
Another doll that I have had for reboding for a while is New York Minute
Ashley doll. She this doll has a different face that the older Mary Kate and
Ashley dolls. I will have to post on that so you can see.
She is
also on a Rapunzel body. Her name is Alli and will be a high
school girl.
My extra Disney store Tiana bodies when to my Francie.
She has been on a Liv doll body. It wasn't a good match but was articulated
This new body is much better!
and Teen Skipper Nikki dolls.
Disney Store Classic Tiana 2014
I have tried to remove the necklace. It smeared. I will try it again.
It should come off.
The complexion is a good match.
Lastly, My extra Fashionista Artsty body went to older model Pocahontas doll.
She received her new body and a hair cut. Her name is Anita
