While I'm clearing out things I have found several dolls with the same face I love. I started using my Plano boxes to store heads. One character having several looks is working. <br /><br />Mattel needs to make some more shades of these dolls. I'm hoping the new Basic dolls w/the articulated bodies will offer me some bodies for some of my other ladies who want some mobility.Dollz4Moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18386314679264566475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-54582952848123205932011-07-01T13:52:06.089-04:002011-07-01T13:52:06.089-04:00Yes,that's what I meant.

I have quite a few extra bodies. I was going to sell some of the MM bodies, BUT I have decided to hang on to them for the future fashion show. Some of them will be used as mannequins in the boutique that is in the works (only in my head at this point).Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-12923464353902585122011-07-01T06:13:34.957-04:002011-07-01T06:13:34.957-04:00So what's going to happen to the headless bodi...So what's going to happen to the headless bodies?

You know my dolls have to work over here. No more of this sitting on the shelf trying to look cute.<br /><br />D7ana - I was only supposed to have the one Trichelle doll. I ended up with the other two right after Stacey McBride-Irby left Mattel. I didn't think I would buy anymore S.I.S. dolls, especially since they weren't on articulated bodies.... but there are some really cute ones coming out. So now I can "justify" buying more, should the situation arise. And since I will only need the head, I can even buy the stiff ones.Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09027064808344974667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-91526100746476814492011-06-30T22:36:48.910-04:002011-06-30T22:36:48.910-04:00Hi Vanessa and thanks for the link share ;-D

I think DBG - me, too, here - both use our two YNU Group Opals as the same character - one Opal curly-haired, the other straight-haired.<br /><br />And to think that I almost convinced myself that I did not need any of more of the S.i.S. dolls because I had similar looking dolls. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this tip on how to use the twins and sisters that Mattel generously bestows upon us ;-)D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-46519427905000113762011-06-30T21:04:19.488-04:002011-06-30T21:04:19.488-04:00Looks like you have found a good use for all the &...Looks like you have found a good use for all the "twin" dolls we end up collecting.limbe dollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704328250988686700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1686868691603248122.post-68342392597700924982011-06-30T14:48:45.077-04:002011-06-30T14:48:45.077-04:00DBG - Oops.
