What Is Your Favorite Non-Articulated Body? Up-Date

Updated Post!

Hey Gang!
I'm still figuring out the new blogger setup so give a girl some time.

I was going through my box of doll bodies and note all different types
of Barbie bodies and note what clothing works good on which body.
As I seen to move my collection more toward articulated bodies,
there were other body types that were my favorite.

Here is a Silkstone body.

Renee has her head now. I never like this body! Too heavy!
I was glad to know that I could put the head on another body.

These are the 1991, Belly button and the 1966 bodies.

The 1966 has the biggest chest (ribcage).

I'm torn between the 1991 body with the narrow hips and smaller

hips and the belly button body.  More clothing fits the 1991 but

the belly button seems sexier!  That sexy quality is why I like the

Fashionista.

Here are four types of what I think of as 

exaggerated  bodies.

From left to right.

Model Muse, second wave Fashion Fever, Star and Flava bodies.

I also found this site compaing bodies if you would like to
take a look.

Here are two repo bodies.
The one on the right is the 1966 repo body.
The one on the left is the 1993 repo body.

Here is the Jazzie and Fashionista body comparison from a previous post!



These are repo Francie body.


Do you have a favorite body that is not Fashionista or Pivotal or articulated body?

Please take my pole.
P.S. I'm posting with the new blogger layout.  It feels slow and
I can't find the spell check! Help!

Star Body vs. Model Muse Body

The Star body (SB) has the same small frame with long legs
as the Model Muse body (MMB). Neither dolls’ legs bend!
The Star body comes with painted on underwear. I find this
not unusual for a playline doll but for a fashion doll made
for collectors, I think that his is unusual.


The Star Body

Star has smaller neck knob that most Barbies!


Side by side

long legs



The Model Muse body can sit. The Star body can not. Star
doll legs fit into the torso and not along side it. A
reconstruction of the body would have to be done it
the future for these dolls to sit.

The arms of the Star doll about the same length.


The hands on the star seem a little more graceful.



Bootee'
The Star doll has more junk in the trunk than the model muse.




This may mean that the pants for this doll may fit the
Belly button bodies… I don’t know this for sure yet.



Finally the Star doll has larger feet (similar to the old Jakks feet) that most of the Mattel fashion dolls I have seen. So what does this mean for the Star shoes? I don’t know yet but I’ll keep you informed!


Thanks for looking! :)

AA Star Doll!

She Is A Star!
I purchased an AA Star Barbie after seeing them on Dolls
in the City’s blog. They are 16.99 at TRU. She is a very pretty
doll! I’m not sure if this doll is considered “playline”. She
doesn’t have the larger head that most of the playline dolls
do (except the SIS). I do think she looks like Beyonce’
without the smile. She looks like what Mattel should
have done with the doll they produced of her. The doll
that they did, in my opinion, the nose was off in proportion
to the eyes and the face. On the AA Star doll the proportions
are correct. I love that they have eyelashes too. They are just
the right length. I do wish she had an articulated body but
Mattel is not taking the hint. I put her head on a Barbie
So In Style Stylin Hair Trichelle. The body matched perfectly!
I gave her a new more hip hop outfit and she would ready
to hit the dolly town but first she got to paint the wall!


I'm crazy in love with this doll!
