The first Lady of Dolls Barbie

So here is my new Curvy Barbie, definitely a thicker body than a normal Barbie, especially in the thighs.

I have decided to call her Alexis.

Very interesting.
I didn't know there were different types of Curvy Barbie.
Your Alexis has bendable elbows and knees.

My Aryna has no elbow or knee joints. She can only move her arms and legs.
It makes posing pretty limited.
She is in this months miniature contest playing Naked Hide and Seek.

However, I did enhance her nipples. I like how it turned out.

Thanks,
scooter

Yes they make a made to move curvy barbie now. I bought that and a second one that does not move and put the head of that one on the curvy barbie.

Nice, Tin Man, Alexis looks great! About time they made a full figure Barb and glad they included her in the 'Made to Move' series as well!

This Barbie was the one they had before the MTM Barbies. I actually like the way the body looks it's a lot more pleasing to the eye the joints are not so bulky looking as they are on the MTM barbie but this one does not have the same amount of articulation as the new ones but she still has plenty of movement.

Hi there guys, I just saw an advertisement for new some new Barbie's on TV and I don't think that I have seen this curvy body before. I have a few old Babies already and I have asked my wife to get me one of these for some mini photography.

Excellent photos TinMan! not just the poses but the camera angles too. Keep posting!

(I looked back at some of your previous posts and discovered I commented on some of your work when I was here a couple years ago. unfortunately the pictures are not still attached to the threads)

Ive been a fan of the made-to-moves since I discovered them... my profile pic (to the left) is my 2 dolls.

There was another one, mid 1990's, perhaps prior to the mtm's... available as a cheerleader with university outfits:

(Somewhere she has lost her black pom-pom)

Unfortunately, her ankles and wrists are fixed... however, unlike most of the full size dolls and miniatures whose skeletons are hinged under the chest, this one is jointed at the waist which allows for hip movement unlike I have seen in most others.

Plus, she can rotate hips at more than 90 degrees.

It is amazing what the imagination can create even with a simple Barbie. Some wonderful pictures..

And FYI for anyone who's interested the curvy Barbie clothes fit the phicens quite well.
