Made to Move Posable Doll with Red Hair Wearing Pastel Blue Color-Blocked Top & Yoga Leggings, Flexible with 22 Posable "Joints"

Back when I was customizing many Barbie dolls for my daughters and as gifts for others (I loved to customize a doll to look like someone I knew!) I would have loved to have had a truly well-articulated doll to work with. I had to boil and remold body parts to be able to position dolls in something other than a straight standing position with either straight arms or unnaturally bent arms. Thankfully, as I am now starting to collect dolls and customize them for my granddaughter, I have found the almost perfect articulated Barbie. Made to Move Barbie has articulation points at so many points, there is only one more I could wish for (her waist) but even without that, it is a fantastic doll for both play and to use to customize. I picked up the red-hair Barbie first but have now purchased several more. My plan is to have one of each for my granddaughter to play with and then to match body shades to other dolls so I can switch their heads on the articulated body. Then I can have fun customizing the dolls. So far, really like the red-hair girl best. My husband has actually made off with her so he can have his 1990's English Action Man (kind of a James Bond character) pose with her. Each day, I find Barbie and Action Man in different poses, so he is obviously having fun with her as well. Her articulation points are at neck, shoulder, elbows, wrists, upper torso (not at waist unfortunately), hips, knees, and ankles. Her hair is red and she has a few freckles on her lovely closed mouth face. Her eyes are brown, lips are a soft pink and she does not have nail polish. The doll comes with a stretchy aqua and orange top and black yoga pants and does not include shoes. The clothes stretch well with her. The only concern I have is whether or not Mattel will make clothes or shoes to fit her (her feet are flat but are too small to fit in other flat foot Barbie shoes.) If not, I can make the clothes and my husband can use our 3D printer to make her shoes. My concern is really for children who want to play dress up with her. I sincerely hope Mattel answers the call and makes proper clothes and accessories for this great doll. I also hope that they use this body type on many other dolls in the future. It is a fantastic doll with tons of versatility. You can see some of the fun we have been having with this doll once my photos show up. She practices yoga all the time and, as I mentioned, she likes to pose with Action Man as well.

This Barbie is amazing, and she truly has some incredible flexibility. The thing I was most surprised by was that her hands are also flexible. Usually, Barbies have harder plastic hands, which is what I expected, however, this doll has hands that are soft vinyl, making them very soft and flexible as well. Honestly, I could see this doll being used as a toy, for customization and for artists as a reference rather than the usual wooden models. The joints are stiff, which is nice, because it allows her to stay in a pose rather than loose, and the plastic has a lovely texture to it. I bought this doll to paint and customize, and while I need to make new plans for her hands, her skin is matte (as opposed to the regular slight shine of a Fashionista doll) and her sculpt is nice and very unique. There are a few rougher areas where it looks like mold supports were removed that may need to be hit with a nail buffer or some sandpaper, and could be sharp for little fingers, so if you are buying this for a child, it is something to be aware of. Be aware that her legs have almost a "shorts" line below the hip joint. This allows her thighs to be rotated for even more dynamic poses. The same is true for her arms, allowing you to rotate the direction in a way that is natural and makes sense for a human body. The joints seem to follow human anatomy (ie, the elbows only bend in one direction) but can bend fully in said direction. Her feet are flat, but bend at the ankle to accommodate both flat styles of barbie shoes and her characteristic heels. The top and yoga pants are nice and stretchy, though I wouldn't say the fabric is particularly soft. They are nice in that they have enough give, and the doll has enough flexibility, that no velcro or snap closures are needed. Overall, I am very happy with this doll and am looking forward to customizing her! As a child who loved Barbies, I would also highly recommend this doll as a toy or a gift for a little girl (or boy!) as the flexibility really brings this doll to life and would have delighted me as a kid.

Good quality and durable .

This was my daughter's favorite Barbie. All the joints are movable and "playable". The quality and durability are far better than expected - not cheap. The color has not faded, and my daughter says it's a cute toy and one of her favorite Barbies.

Pretty mtm doll with a Neysa face mould. I like it.

Barbie deliziosa, dal viso dolcissimo e con un acconciatura semplice e disinvolta. Tenuta da yoga con leggins nero e top giallo fluo, molto verosimile, realizzata con buoni materiali e ben cucita. Il punto forte di questa bambola è però il suo corpo made-to-move, completamente articolato, che le permette di assumere infinite posizioni (al contrario delle Barbie di altre linee, che si muovono solo alle spalle/gambe e possono solo stare in piedi o sedute) rendendo il gioco più e stimolante. Tra l'altro, essendo snodata, la bambola risulta essere semplice da svestire e rivestire, che poi è la parte più divertente del giocare con Barbie. Arriva in una bella scatola che protegge la bambola e la mette in mostra, rendendola certamente un regalo graditissimo. Acquistata qui su Amazon a un prezzo competitivo, consegna rapida in un pacco ben protetto.

The doll came packaged as per the picture, still in box. I'm very happy with my purchase!

Ótima e muito bem feita essa edição exclusiva de 2020. Tom bronzeado difere da original de 5 anos atrás, porém. Essa tem tom dourado Austrália. Que venham mais nesse novo tom. :)
