But I won't complain this round. I will take the light brown girl and fix some old heads lying around - I can also use the blonde lady for some Asians from the first two lines. If 3.0 has a milk chocolate I will love that (though I've used Mods and they are great). And maybe in 4.0 we can get a dark chocolate for a few of my gals.kristl tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01698387730230490542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-40275446952050851902011-03-11T23:01:43.759-05:002011-03-11T23:01:43.759-05:00On closer inspection, #4 has the Fashionista elbow...On closer inspection, #4 has the Fashionista elbow joint while #8 has the Pivotal elbow joint. All have the Fashionista hands. It's impossible to tell about the torso joint with those tops, but none demonstrate having it through their posing. Of course, these may be prototype stand-ins as well. I'm not sure where AD got the information, as Sandi Holder's Doll Attic doesn't seem to confirm Pivotal either. We may not find out for sure until Mattel confirms it or the dolls are in hand. Attached is a website that has a great comparison of Barbie bodies, though they don't include the Harley and Flashdance hybrids.<br /><br />http://www.thebdoll.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73:analyzing-barbie-body-types&catid=36:Identifying%20BarbieGatsbyhttp://www.thebdoll.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73%3Aanalyzing-barbie-body-types&catid=36%3AIdentifying+Barbienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-24318826051794956922011-03-11T22:29:29.632-05:002011-03-11T22:29:29.632-05:00I do not believe that this is the Pivotal body. Th...I do not believe that this is the Pivotal body. The arms look to be the Fashionista arms, with smaller, more curved hands and a pronounced curved elbow socket in the upper arm. The Pivotal body has larger hands with a flatter appearance and an elbow joint that lacks the curved socket. More than likely, this is a hybrid body that has the Fashionista arms, and a one-piece Model Muse torso with Pivotal jointed legs (like the latest Harley Barbie). This would still be vastly superior to the current, immobile Basics despite lacking a torso joint, and the Fashionista arms, while having a slightly more obstructed elbow joint, possess more graceful hands than the Pivotals.Gatsbynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-217917876331578492.post-32933595412236754562011-03-11T18:04:06.618-05:002011-03-11T18:04:06.618-05:00@Carissa I am still disappointed that they stopped...@Carissa I am still disappointed that they stopped articulating the S.I.S. line. How do you introduce a doll line with some articulation and then completely take it away? I will say that I do like the AA doll in this 2.5 line.

While I am not saying ANY company is perfect, I find that many collectors on the doll boards say the 'B' word like it is an embarassment or like to put Mattel down..but I really think they try to come up with new items and try to keep dolls accessible to everyone...after all where would all the 'other' doll companies be if not for Mattel...or all the kids be without their Barbie dolls! :) sorry, maybe a little off topic but these dolls are fab!
