When I was getting my new Barbie (right) I noticed her fingers kept getting caught and BENDING. I was suddenly wondering if MTM bodies were always like that and I forgot, but nope! That's new!

That was totally spontaneous. I bought a second-hand Pilot Barbie 1999, got rid of her damaged body and put the head on Made to Move body. The skin tone match isn't perfect but I don't mind. I've always thought that particular Barbie with Mackie mold resembles Harry Makepeace from "Dempsey & Makepeace" so yeah, it will be my own Sgt. Makepeace. I intend to give her some 80s clothes and props. Meanwhile, that jacket belonging to Jazzie is the most 80s looking piece I have for my 1/6 dolls. Of course my pretty detective needs a gun and badge but I didn't have time to prepare them in advance. The motorcycle belongs to Flavas doll and I used it just for this one photoshoot. Some time ago I got second-hand Flavas dolls Tre and Kiyoni but without a motorbike. Last week I managed to buy the bike and I really like it despite all the scratches and loose mirrors.
That's what the doll and the bike looked like when I got them. I had no intention of keeping the doll's original body so I really didn't mind buying it damaged. The bike is in decent condition and so is my Tre. I just need to give Tre a wig or something 'cause his flocked hair is almost gone.
She's the MTM purple top Lea rebodied onto a Model Muse body, wearing Disney's Mulan red dress. I actually have another doll in mind for this outfit so the Lea is just temporary.
Here she is with her red cheongsam Lunar New Year friends:
A really cool comparison on the MH/EAH and mtm Mattel bodies

I hadn’t realized that the new Frankenstein dude was actually EAH, I thought it was another G2 reuse.
Also G3 being shorter! That’s SO cute. And never realized how ridiculous Finnegan looked... look at his tiny waist! I hope the G3 is better proportioned.
