I like the idea, but the lack of articulation kind of kills it. If these retail for more than 16$, it's not worth it to me.

I'm confused - 'regular' Barbie isn't articulated? I mean, her knees bend and her legs and arms move, so...what's the difference?

[(Anonymous)]

Standard Barbie articulation: Arms and legs can move, but don't have joints. Some of the regular Barbies you can buy do have more articulation than that - elbow and knee joints, for example. I think there are Barbies with wrist joints too.

[tabaqui]

Huh. The Barbie i had when i was a kid (mid-seventies) had bendy knees (they popped and made weird noises. It was like - soft rubber with a joint inside, you couldn't see it) and then her arms moved at the shoulders and her legs at the hip. Her dark-haired friend (no clue what her name was) was the same.

I've never seen a Barbie that could move more than that.

I got a couple of gymnat Barbies in the mid-late 90s that had extra articulation, but I was not overly fond of them because they were hard to get accessories for because theyw ere not the standard mold. Ultimately I liked the version you refer to because there were far more dress options available.

[tabaqui]

We just had the two - Malibu Barbie, that was mine, and her 'friend', who had dark brown hair. It was like - very fine wire? So you could curl it and stuff and it would stay curled.

We didn't have a lot of clothing or 'extras' for them, but my sis and i made them clothes, and we also got a couple of dresses that we called 'Scarlett O'Hara dresses' from a woman at the church bazzar. They were really amazing, full-length dresses with bodices and puffy sleeves - tiny stitching!

[morieris]

Some of them are better articulated than others. Having those stiff arm poses is a bother to me. I don't expect Made To Move mobility, but at least knees and elbow joints.

[tabaqui]

My old Barbie had stiff arms, but her knees bent. (Malibu Barbie, whooo!)
