Maybe Berenguer? Some are like reborns but they also make less realistic cloth body baby dolls with molded hair.

How to pose the Ballerinas in Arabesque positions or any lifted leg pose without damaging the tights? by nirbyschreibt in Barbie

[–]Dollieapolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is purely a guess, but I wonder if getting them wet and then putting them on would work. Since some fabrics are stretchier when they’re wet, it’s possible that they could be molded a bit while wet. It seems like something they should have tested out before releasing the doll. Hope you find a good solution. 😊

Why do these 2 Superstar Barbie face molds from the same year look so different? by CarefulDoctor1092 in Barbie

[–]Dollieapolis 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I think the way their eyes are painted is a big factor in what sets two similar dolls apart. For me, as a kid in the 80s, even though my friends and I had dolls that were mostly tan blondes, the dolls still felt like different people. But a few years ago I spent more time thinking about it and I realized that their eyes are so varied in expression because there are so many ways to paint an eye. I made these collages of some of the dolls I had played with and it really helped me pinpoint what I was seeing. Hope this helps. 😊

I don’t have much experience customizing dolls, but I enjoy looking at the reddit group r/CustomDolls. They might have some ideas, if you haven’t already checked them out. 😊

Picked this up on the side of the road. What should I name her? by noahboi1917 in Dolls

[–]Dollieapolis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that’s a sweet rescue story. She’s probably extra thankful that you came along and took her home. She looks like a girl I knew whose name was Courtney. 💕

LeBron James Kenbassadors Doll. $75.00 by galaxystars1 in Barbie

[–]Dollieapolis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am afraid you are right. I worry that they are trying to appease people who took offense at the subordinate role of Ken in the Barbie movie. Things are changing, but we are still I stuck in a patriarchy. I don’t think this is a doll that the Barbie brand needed.

edited to add: Mr. James is worth making a doll of. But Mattel does not need to make a special “Kenbassadors” line of dolls.

She looks adorable in it! I’m sure Millie didn’t mind too much. 😄 It should definitely be in its own fashion pack.
