Barbie Made To Move Doll, Ultra-Posable, 22 Points To Bend, Black Leggings, Color-Blocked Top, Long Blond Hair

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.

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.

Love doll

This is my favorite Barbie body ever, almost action figure quality in terms of range of motion. I don't like non-posable dolls, so the first thing I do with a static Barbie is put her head on a body that will pose decently, and Barbie bodies that meet that need are few and far between. This is the best of the articulated Barbie bodies on the market, and at a more budget-friendly price than an action figure body. Because of the way this doll is jointed, her hips are just a smidge wider than the other modern Barbies (not counting the newer versions with the different body shapes), so trousers or pencil skirts meant to fit the Belly Button Barbie shape might be a tad too small for the Made to Move body unless they're made of stretchy fabric. But aside from that, she can wear most Barbie fashions (and to be honest, I tend to make my own clothing anyway because I can't stand Mattel's current tendency to make most of Barbie's clothes pink, purple, metallic silver, and/or plastic looking!) The one major drawback to this doll is that most of them seem to have the glue inside their head that Mattel has been filling a lot of their doll heads with lately. Not only is this glue unnecessary to keeping the hair rooted in securely, it ends up leaching into the hair when it gets too hot and creating a greasy mess that eventually makes the hair next to unsalvageable. (If you can catch this leak early, a dry shampoo with cornstarch left in overnight then vigorously brushed out might help the problem, but it might not. Mattel, what were you thinking?!) This is not a problem for me since I normally buy this doll for her body and use a different Barbie head on it, but for someone else buying it because they want the whole doll, it can be heartbreaking. I am told the brown haired version of this doll (Bambi?) is less likely to have glue inside her head than the others, but mine certainly did. As for this Asian version, her original head was so packed with the oily glue that her hair ended up being unsaveable. I've removed all of her original hair and washed out her head to do a complete reroot on it. Most buyers who aren't into doll customization are not going to want to go through all that bother, so parents who are just looking for a toy for your child, be forewarned. (That said, there are all sorts of tutorials online for safely removing a Barbie head and putting it on a better Barbie body, and this is an exceptionally good body, so I highly recommend buying it anyway if you're up to 3 to 5 minutes of minor doll surgery. Trust me, when your child sees the cool moves this body can do, she or he will thank you!) I want so much to give this doll five or more stars, but that glue-head problem would be a deal breaker for me in any other doll, so I have to give the Made to Move a star off for that. Mattel, could you PLEASE stop using the greasy head glue, or at least switch to another type that won't ruin a doll's hair?! I live in the Deep South; the only way to keep dolls here cool enough year 'round to prevent your glue from leaking is to store them in the fridge, and that's just ridiculous! I am very much hoping that Mattel will produce their diverse new Barbie body styles with this sort of body soon, as well as a Made to Move Ken. Whether simply posing them for play or to use in dioramas, 1:6 scale room boxes or doll houses, or for display in action poses, the articulated bodies are SO much more fun than the static ones (which might explain part of the popularity that the Monster High dolls are enjoying and the slump in Barbie sales in recent years), and it utterly baffles me that Mattel hasn't moved in this direction much sooner.

Update: I got a blue top this time to head-swap with Barbie Paleontologist. I really loved the pretty dimples of Blue Top Barbie. I hope to get another one soon. This one could even stand in flat shoes. Her ankles were just right. Some of the other Barbie Made to Move dolls had tricky little ankles with a mind all their own. Also the peg inside their heads are slightly different, so the neck on one doll looks shorter now. I just got Barbie Made to Move today. I read many reviews about Barbie Made to Move vs. Style Barbie. I just had to try her out. Most people who have the 2 dolls say Made to Move Barbie is a much better poser. This is very true. I liked the rooted lashes and 2-toned hair on Style Barbie the best, so I can't say Style Barbie is a loser. Style also has the bending ankle and can wear both flats and heels. Made to move Barbie has choppy hair. I like it just the same, because my real hair is not all the same length. I thought it looked nice. Made to Move Barbie can bend her knees all the way back and sit down on her knees. She can bend at the breast/ rib cage, but not at the waist. Style Barbie cannot do any of this. Style Barbie can only bend her knees to sit down in a chair. Made to Move Barbie can spread her legs out like in yoga or exercise class. Style Barbie can spread her legs very little in comparison. Made to Move Barbie has much sturdier looking joints except in the ankles, they are almost the same. One thing I did notice was one of her ankles turns inward like she needs her electrolytes. I thought it was the shoes but I traded their shoes around and noticed the shoes were okay. I still like the natural looking poses for this doll. She is a much better choice for those who love doll dioramas and modelling clothes. As soon as I got her out, I noticed one small dot on her foot and face both barely noticeable. To me personally, this is not a problem, but I thought I should mention it. The price was well worth it for this doll. The clothes are nice enough and stretchy so I can go ahead and pose her. I had a couple of pairs of Barbie shoes to try on her. She came barefooted. I was thrilled to find that her jointed ankle makes it possible for her to wear high heels and flat shoes made for Barbie. I have both branded and unbranded Barbie shoes that fit her. I was almost about to sell some of the shoes when I got her, but she is a keeper and loves shoes. The usual Barbie seams are kind of rough in places but that is okay, considering what I paid for her ($11.04). I consider this to be a really great buy.

I got her to use for a body swap for My Scene Nolee. She was a perfect match to her skin tone! She is a regular size Barbie. I do like the way she looks, I just need her for the swap. I would consider buying her and using her as is. I'm very happy with my purchase because now I can pose Nolee the way I want!

As described

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

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. :)

Best quality

Diese Puppe ist ein echter Game-Changer! Sie ist voll beweglich, kann in alle möglichen Posen gebracht werden. Viel besser, als die Barbies, die nur die Arme und Beine nach oben oder unten und vielleicht noch ein wenig vom Körper weggedrückt bekommen können. Nach dem wir diese und noch ein paar weitere Puppen mit den "Made to Move" Körper gekauft haben, empfinden wir die regulären Barbies als zu steif und langweilig, da mit ihnen einfach im Vergleich kaum was anzufangen ist. Selbstverständlich würde ich für Aktivitäten wie in der Badewanne oder auf dem Spielplatz die einfachen Barbies empfehlen, diese reichen völlig aus und sind auch besser für das dort eher raue Spiel geeignet, da eventuell doch mal ein Hand- oder Fußgelenk brechen könnte und es dort auch eher keinen Grund gibt, die Puppen in eine schöne Pose zu stellen, dort wird einfach nur gespielt, was das Zeug hält. Wirklich tolle, super bewegliche Puppe. Empfehle ich sehr. Würde nur vom Kauf absehen, wenn die Kinder noch jünger sind, da reichen die normalen Barbies völlig aus.

I am just a small girl who bought it because I am a barbie fan! I will tell everyone to purchase this item very nice.
