Hi. Can YOU tell more about how You can detach parts of MTM barbie? So You can actually detach / exchange whole limpbs or parts of torso????
Yes you can! Limbs more so than the torso. The hands, feet, legs at the upper thigh swivel, and arms at the upper arm swivel all pop off relatively easy. I'd be careful with the hands and feet since the pegs are of a softer plastic. The upper torso can be separated from the lower torso but it takes a lot more force, would probably be easier with heat, and the torso will have a more loose/wobbly fit when you put it back together so I'd advise against it.

Found a 2009 Liv doll with a wig at the Thrift store. Neck peg on the body broke like, instantly, but she went onto a Barbie MTM body with only a little fuss. First time swapping heads ever!
Outfit is Rainbow High/Shadow High pieces, the boots don't "fit" but they are high enough to stay on so you can't even tell. I think the original Liv doll was a Katie with Daniela's wig.
Both were only 5ish dollars at Value Village, both found at the same store within a few weeks.
Those inset green eyes and the dark hair with the purple streak sold me on her immediately since that was how I wanted to customize this body anyways! The wig makes her head look a little big and it's already bigger than Barbie's but I kinda dig it.

One thing I don't like about current Barbie dolls is that they are either made-to-move or have no articulation at all. I'd love to see more dolls that have the 11 points of articulation.

So I just noticed when you search "Ken in Barbie Clothes" (in quotes) the first 3 results are 3 of my doll pics. It's cool, but it still feels weird to see my doll photos show up as a google result.

It has dawned on me that none of the dolls I hoped might be body donors for princess of the incas barbie are a great match.
She has a very red/orange undertone that I can't find in any made to move dolls I have.
This is probably the closest. It's hard sometimes to match the older dolls.
Honestly, she's so pretty in her headdress and gown, I might just leave her as is.
Or just pick one of these bodies and not be too worried about it.
