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.

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!

May is Disney Month! Disney Store DISNEY FROZEN 2 DELUXE DOLL BOX set

 Hey Gang!

There is another Frozen 2 doll set. It is the set that includes Anna, Elsa, Olaf, Kristoff, Mattias and The Nokk from the Disney store pictured below.

Hiding in the shadow of the corner of the box is Lt. Mattias. There are a few reasons it may appear that he is hiding. One is that he is in the corner. The other is that because he is the darkest doll that Disney has ever made, getting the lighting right for all of the dolls and the horse in this photo was a bit hard for them.  This set was selling for about $99 in the Disney store I'm told but they are asking a lot more for them on eBay($175-250).

I just wanted the new Lt. Mattias to add to my collection. I had the others in the set that I wanted. I was able to find him, without shoes for $12.  Here he is!

He has a great face which why I wanted him. His jacket details are mostly printed except for the belt and apelets. 

With the jacket off. you can see he has the same body as most of the Disney store male dolls with the same articulation.

His pants are gray and Velcro in the back.

The inside is actually satin..

Here he is compared to the Jakks version that I purchased a Walmart when he was first released. You can see that the Jakks headsculpt and the Disney Store are very close.  The Jakks has molded on pants and shoes and is shorter.  The Jakks version is lighter in complexion too.

Compared to the older Steven doll.

I do like the fact that Disney store males have painted on underwear/swimsuits,

Booker and Stringer.

I saw a makeover of the Jakks version into Morgan Freeman.

Obi Wan Kenobi #2 More Of My Star Wars character

Hey Gang!

I have two Obi Wan Kenobi action figures! One I have shown you.

Obi Wan Kenobi

1996 Hasbro, Star Wars Collector Series Obi-Wan Kenobi Fully Poseable 12" Action Figure
Played by actor Sir Alec Guinness.

But there is a another....younger version too!

Obi Wan Kenobi Attack of the Clones 2002 12" poseable action figure by Hasbro.  

The actor who played this version of Obi Wan is Ewan McGregor 

What I like is that he is a redhead!

I purchare him off eBay a while back but with many of my action figures and dolls,
I hadn't photoed him or posted him.

He does look a little like the actor.

Out of the box

He is a very nice action figure and I think his clothes can be used in other ways.

The boots are large can can be used for Ken and other action figures.

 I didn't take photos of his lightsaber but it is pretty nice too!

Here are close ups of the face.  There are enough redheaded men in my opinion.

 Beard matches his hair.  I believe on some men, the beard is darker.

 The pale eyes and red hair are nice contrast.

Steven is doing another interview on local couples!

Steven: Today we are meeting the Westleys!

Steven: Art Westley and...

Art:Hello!

Steven: his wife Molly!

Molly: Hi!

Steven: So how did you meet? And how long have you been together?

 Molly: We met in college!

 Art: Twenty four years ago!

Molly:  Twenty six years ago! Ryan is twenty four!

Art: Hmmm!

Art: We were both science majors and living in the same dorm.  I was the RA and Molly 

was a freshman. 

Molly: He was one of the first people I met!

Molly: I thought he was very smart!

Art: She was all over me!

Molly: What!

Art: You know you were!

Art: You were always coming by my room!

You were the RA and were to handle all the problems of the floor! That is why 

I was at your room!

Molly: Admit it! You were hot for me then and hot for me now! We've got the kids
to prove it!

We're Catholic! That's the reason for the kids. WOW! This was such a bad idea!

Molly: Cut, cut , cut!

Tune in next time!
