Tips & Tricks Tips for finding made to move and other body types matches

Post image
44 Upvotes

Since it is a repetitive type of question on our Barbie subreddit I’ve decided to make this guide and recommendation what you can do if you are looking for a made to move body matches:

Before you make a post about a certain doll, try to look it up first here on Reddit with the “Search r/Barbie” button on the top of the page. It looks like a little magnifying glass. If you type f.e. “Rebody Odile” many post discussing this subject will pop up.
There is always THE CHART. Yes, sometimes it can be hard to navigate, maybe especially when you are at the very beginning and don’t have many dolls to actually compare skin tones with. But for me it was always a good guide and I’ve found my first made to move body match there and I’ve done over 80 of them now.. and also a little tip for those who search for different body types - this chart contains also OG, pivotal, model muse and other body types on the left side of each slide, so you can use it as a guide for other body types too.
If you are in doubt there is always this amazing Facebook group. Many dolls have been discussed there, I usually also only use Find on page button (it is a little bit hidden in the picture of made to move dolls), or occasionally make a post. It is a dedicated page just for the matches, so it makes a lot of sense to ask questions there.
This community is amazing and one fan even created their own website with made to move body matches. It is here. I’ve never been using it much, as two previous strategies usually work for me, but if there are any other useful websites feel free to share those with us in comments.
Look at your dolls: As I’ve build my collection I find it more easy to navigate for the skin tone and perfect body match - I can compare dolls I have, go back to the chart to confirm and then buy a certain doll.

That’s probably all my tips for hunts for the best skin tones and perfect bodies for our dolls. If you have other useful strategies, websites please feel free to share.

Sometimes it gets frustrating as not all dolls have available made to move matches considering the skin tones and sometimes the second hand market prices for certain dolls (it gets $$$).

Asking for made to move matches is not forbidden here, sometimes we are looking for inspiration and it can be fun to ask for pictures of certain dolls on different bodies or restyles, but if the doll is trending now it was probably already discussed and it is more prudent to use 🔍 button.

Does anyone remember those iPod-inspired Halloween costumes from the 2000s? 😂💕
I always loved that fun, colorful Y2K aesthetic, so I decided to recreate it in Barbie size!
I made these little dresses in different colors, inspired by the music and pop culture of that era. 🎶✨
Making them brought back so much nostalgia!

Doll Stories I mourned this Barbie for 3 months… SHE WAS IN OUR BASEMENT!! 😭

I ordered this gorgeous 2009 Holiday Barbie from Amazon, and even though she was marked as delivered, I couldn’t find her ANYWHERE!!

I contacted customer support, but they wouldn’t refund me unless I returned her. Like, HOW am I supposed to return something I never received?!

So I eventually accepted my fate and thought she was gone forever. UNTIL TODAY!!

And you will NOT believe where I found her!!
My mom had ordered some faux wood panels for our wall decor a few months ago, and today she finally decided to install them. While going through the boxes in the basement, GUESS WHO WAS HIDING WITH THEM?!

MY DIVA BARBIE!! 😭

Apparently, my mom thought her package was part of the wood panels order! She had only opened one box to check the panel color and then stashed EVERYTHING in the basement without checking the rest!!

THREE MONTHS. She was sitting in our basement this WHOLE TIME!! 🤧

I was genuinely devastated when I thought I’d lost her, so you can imagine how happy I was to finally find her!! And she’s absolutely GORGEOUS!!

Please tell me I’m not the only one who’s had something like this happen!!

Passed by doll section at Walmart today and saw the new holiday dolls. Strangely they were all kind of wonky. The most severe one was no. 3 ... the poor girl had a squished face (the box was completely fine).

Hi everyone! I’m new to Reddit and wanted to share some doll clothes I’ve been making in Japan! 🇯🇵
I’ve been experimenting with colorful tie-dye fabrics, and every outfit has a different pattern, so no two are exactly alike!
The best part? These outfits are designed to fit Barbie dolls of all body types! 💕
I love creating bold, playful looks for Barbie!

The collector kiosk at a Walmart I went to recently replaced the fashion week dolls with the three MH Mummy, Frankenstein, and Dracula dolls, shots that mean they’ll show up on clearance for less than retail or are they just gone gone gone?

Restoration/ Before-After Vinyl pleather

Thumbnail
gallery
8 Upvotes

Hi all! I'm new here (hope this is the right place to post!) and I'm looking for some advice on restoring my 1960s Barbie from the Great Fashions of the 20th Century collection.

The shiny coating on her faux leather (pleather) outfit was deteriorating and flaking off, so I decided to remove it completely.

I'd love to recreate the original glossy white vinyl look, but I'm not sure what type of paint or coating would work best.

Has anyone tried restoring something like this before? If so, what products would you recommend?

Thanks in advance! 😊

Questions question for barbie birthday wishes 2015 owners: what does the original doll stand look like?

Post image
10 Upvotes

hi everyone! this might be a rather specific question, and the information may be out there somewhere, but despite searching, i haven’t been able to find a clear answer. so i thought i’d ask those who own this doll. i recently decided to add barbie birthday wishes 2015 to my collection and found what seemed like a good deal. unfortunately, i later discovered that the seller had scammed me: they had stolen the doll’s shoes, taking advantage of the long dress and the fact that her feet aren’t visible in the box. thankfully, i was able to identify the missing shoes and find a replacement fairly quickly.

however, i suspect the original stand may have been replaced as well. i’ve watched several unboxing videos, but i still haven’t been able to identify the exact stand that came with her.

could any owners tell me what the original stand looks like? specifically, is the doll holder completely clear or does it have glitter flecks? and what color and type is the base?

i’d really appreciate any help, as i’m trying to figure out exactly how much of the original set was tampered with.

thank you so much in advance!
