I've Got Greg!

 Hey Gang!

I found Naturalista Greg, the new male Naturalista doll, from Target.com for $8.99! He is the first of the male doll in the collection.

His story and motto is on the back of the box.

Out of the box

Closeup on his face. He has a cute face with full lips! Gotta love a man with full lips!

Hairstyle: Short and neat with temple fade

The shirt says Fade Collection Naturalista

Notice the back of the head isn't faded like the sides. So not a Philly Fade!

Steven with Philly Fade!

Shirt velcro closure.

He has a nicely sculpted chest.

Pants from the front-He has pull up khaki pant. 

Pants from the back.

The pants are well made and that is a plus! The pull on waist make them easy to us for other dolls.

He has hair pick sneakers that the pants are worn baggy over. I heard that this style is popular.

Foot comparison. They are the same size! Footwear shouldn't be a problem.

Warning! Nude Doll

Body from the front!

Arms bend at elbows but knee don't bend.

Body from the back!

As you can see, he is shorter than Fresh dolls. I have heard that the Fresh Dolls Malik was a good match as a body donor. I only purchased one Malik.  I have a few extra Kahlil bodies but they are too red!

I only have one extra AA Texas Cheerleader body but tried it and it looks great! Perfect match! Sadly, AA Texas Cheerleader was the only AA doll with this body.  The cacasian body was used for several dolls.

Note! The head is hard to get off without messing up the flocked hair! So be careful if you do it. The neck hole is small like a lot of the Disney dolls done by Hasbro. It is hard to get the head of of the peg. Heating the head might make the flocking come off. I heated the neck only and was able to get the head off without losening the hair.

This body gives him good height!

I can't wait to see the rest of the guys!

Cheerleader Ken Doll For Re-boding and The Guys Get Articulation Love!

Hey Gang!

A lot of us purchased the Barbie Basic Guys (15, 16, 17)  when they came out.
I will admit to purchasing 17 at full price plus shipping from Barbie
Collectors. com.  The others I got on sale at Big Lots.  And I can say
I think we all wished they had the articulated bodies of say...the
blonde Harley Davidson Ken or Pirates of the Caribbean Jack Sparrow.
I was hoping for one of those type bodies too. Many of us had re-bodied
them after purchase. I had seen re-bodied versions on Fashionista Ken
on flickr. They look only OK.  I thought for the price point, we would get
Harley Davidson body articulated body with the Asian Ken too
but nooooooooo!  We got the model muse male body! @#$%%%!

So after I got my AA Cheerleader Ken for 24.99 and rebodied him,
I wondered if Mattel could do that body for that price point on
the Cheerleader male then why didn't they do it on 15, 16, 16 and Asian
Ken.  Would we have paid 24.99 for those dolls on an articulated body.
Yes, we would and not have thought twice about it! Well... many of us
would not but everyone.  You know who you are. ;)

So, anyway I purchased three of the blonde Cheerleader Ken dolls for
re-boding  I had my #15 and #16 on Fashionista Ryan bodies and my Asian
Ken was on a Liam Fava body .  Neither of them were exactly what I wanted.
Those doll heads needed the longer necks of the cheerleader body.  Number
15,16, and Asian Ken got the new bodies with my purchase of the three
Cheerleader Ken dolls .

So as you know for my previous post I rebodied my 

#17 onto a AA Cheerleader Ken.

Before 

 After! Brandon bidding is old body a due! 

The blonde before

 After with a # 16 head.

 I just love all the poses I can do now!

He is now Issac.

Here they are together.  New head on a Fashionista ken body will be on
the dollpage for sale!

 BB #15. was  re-bodied onto a fashionista Ken 

body but the neck was too short!

On his new body!  

Please pardon his pants.  

I didn't feel like looking for others.

 This is the body I was meant for.  This is now Paul!

 There is a difference in complexion between these two dolls but not 

enough to need a different body.

 # 16's body went up for sale months ago.His head was just hanging around waiting.
This guy received the old fashionista body and was glad for it!
He is now Marshall.

 Marshall:  I need to find some longer pants!

Marshall:  Hey want to trade pants? 

Paul: No way!

Asian Ken was on a Flava body after purchase but it didn't work for him either

Now on his new body!

 I think this worked out well!  He is now Blaine!

 Blaine: I'm an artist and I needed to have better articulation!

His old body went to this guy, Crosby Andersen.  

Crosby: This body works well for me. I didn't need a long neck but the height
is nice.

Crosby: Thanks man!

Blaine: No problem!

OK! Thanks For Looking!
