Great review, First thing I did was changing the body to MTM which seems to be a common theme. The only thing I did't like are the shoes but, of course, that is a design choice and can be easily changed. The cartonish face - oh well. It is an aquired taste but I guess you will get to like it. This first in a serious is a great doll and I am looking forward to the second release. I most probably would have chosen ebay, if they didn't send to my country. Enjoy the doll.
Fantastic video! Really appreciate the detailed look at this doll. I’m a Ken collector, but have held back from getting him because the sculpt looks like botched plastic surgery (those lip injections!). That and the hair are giving circuit party twink, lol. But the outfit looks really well made, so maybe I’ll give in and get him after all…😏
@@royd.6831 OMG no wonder the hair seemed familiar to me. I can’t unsee it now 😆 I’m glad I was able to convince you though. The face isn’t great, and I am slowly warming up to it. but the outfit is SO worth it
I’m so sorry you are dealing with scalpers due to the Mattel changes ☹️ If I could help you out as being your proxy somehow, I’d do it. No one should be taken advantage of when you’re just trying to get a little bit of happiness 😔 Scalpers can be so brutal sometimes 😖 I too am struggling to find several dolls on my wishlist at a decent price when dealing with the second hand market 😑 Just to name a few, I love the PTMI dolls and the Fashion Fever dolls and fashions, but finding them at a decent price for me is a huge challenge 😒 but I remain hopeful 😉 But even still, you now have a fantastic looking model in your collection, with several amazing fashion pieces (including your added touches)☺️ These are possibly the best pieces I’ve seen in YEARS 😁 I just wish they’d chosen different shoes 🫤 definitely not my first choice 😐 But I’ll definitely get this gorgeous model one day (like most of my dolls), when the demand is much lower, and the price is more reasonable ✨💖✨
@@Ms.D-loves-minis3 It’s OK, Ms. D, thank you for the offer though. 🥹 I’ll survive. When it comes to buying from scalpers, I try to not go over a 50% markup of the official price. And sometimes I do get lucky. ‘Cause really though, some scalpers have the nerve to charge 200% or more for a NEWLY released doll. And they even charge like $50, $60, $100 for shipping but in reality they just ship it with the cheapest USPS shipping.😤😤😤 And eBay does nothing to regulate this. Oh and I do hope you get the dolls you want too! Just so you know,I used to collect the Fashion Fever dolls in my teens back in the day. You will not be disappointed, believe me. 😆 Quality and style was absolutely amazing then. Their fashion packs had mannequins for chrissake that’s how good it was! I’m actually trying to get my hands on a few of them again, but we’ll see… 😊
This guy is gorgeous! Congratulations on finally getting him!
