New owner of Barbie/Shannon model
I am a fist time doll owner and I almost think I have bitten off more that I can chew. I saw that the doll weighed 62lbs and I thought... no problem. I got a heck of a work out today. By the end of the day today, I kind of figured out how to move/carry with out struggling too much. But if anyone has some tips on moving this doll around, please let me know.
I only intend to use the doll for photography. I am thinking about getting a green screen and digitally placing Shannon into other images.
I have a few images to share and will do so as soon as I reach the 5 post minimum.

Do you think you could upload those pics on a photo sharing site like photobucket and use the "img" tags or just post the links?

I did get the tan model and I am glad I did. At first I thought it was too dark (opened the box at night with indoor lighting), but when I saw the doll in the daylight the color looked great. But everyone has there own preferences.bojack wrote:Hurry and hit those 5 posts! I'm thinking about getting the Shannon/Barbie and but not sure whether to go with the brown skin/blonde or brown hair or natural skin/brown or blonde hair. I've seen some out-of-box shots with the brown skin/stock blonde hair and it looks totally different than the Shannon/Barbie in the pics and videos. That stock blonde hair is much more yellow-ish in the non-glamour, out-of-box pics that I've seen than the blonde wig in the Shannon/Barbie pictures and IMO it doesn't go well with the brown skin.

Hang on for another day or so. I should have pics up this weekend.

How's the tan skin in person? I'm with Bojack on the tan skin and cant wait to see and hear what you think having a new 2016 Barbie right of the showroom floor
I got sample skin tone pieces (natural, pink and tan) from a vendor and have to say that tan is DARK in person. In all fairness the pieces are only 4"x4" so I think when you spread that out over 155cm it wont look as dark. The pics of the girls with tan skin look amazing but the lighting is definitely making the skin look lighter than it is IMO.
I'd also love to hear what your thoughts are on her waist? My calf is 15" so that's gotta be a tiny waist
Congrats again on your lovely new lady!! Im jealous

Re: New owner of Barbie/Shannon model
The waist is ludicrously small. I really liked the shape of this model, but it was the waist that sold it. Total fantasy.
The tiny waist is going to make finding clothes that fit difficult. When I get serious about taking photos, I suspect I will be using several safety pins and clothes clips to make them look like they fit.
My first photos include the obligatory bikini, as well as a crop top and a shrug worn with the bikini bottom. I just ordered some new items tonight, so I suspect I will take photos with the new outfit the weekend of April 9.
