Yeah, I did too... I'm pretty much just focusing on Barbie for now as they're kind of generically popular and easy to get. And in most cases these days there's a doll I want that covers whatever body type. Well, except the new Kens so far because they all have molded hair. I may have to get one anyway at some point and see if I can shave the hair off with a razorblade and still be able to root hair...
I've just about got the Barbie range covered except for a few gaps. When my mother developed a liking for Monster High we started getting mixed fashion doll boxes off Goodwill and splitting them for a while, plus I had some of the harder to find ones from when I was a kid. I have a reproduction pre-twist original they made (tho no similarly 'old' skipper or Ken yet), a whole bucket of twist-waists and bellybuttons, a single Model Muse, Pregnant Midge, twist and flex (I think that's the name for the two girls with the rubber middle, one of which sadly has a broken back), a couple hobbits, the range of new Barbie body shapes, an older Stacie, older twist-waist-era Skipper AND her boyfriend, twist-waist era Ken, harley-body ken, newer Kelly, and the babysitter baby and toddler sets. I think I'm only missing original Skipper, original Kelly (and maybe a Kelly in the middle), Pregnant Midge's baby, the new Stacie, and the new Kens. Maybe. I don't really worry about it until I decide to sew for one and realize I don't have that body type. Got to do something constructive with my Spoonflower swatches after all, and there's only so much you can do with 8 square inch piece of non-stretch fabric.
