Does anyone know if the Volks "guy color" would match Clawd Wolf?

Not at all, Guy color is closer to regular Barbie color to give a basic idea.

Well phooey. What about the Volks tan? It's so hard to tell from the pics on the site.

Nope, no darker. Volks tan is still within the caucasian Barbie range. The only non Mattel match I've ever had luck with is to a Bratz body.

The Art S Buck Sideshow figures came in a brown color but I don't know who it would match.

it's a mix of joints and wiring form the look of it, but CM toys is coming out with a rubber body that comes in dark skin as well as caucasion. (doll nudity: http://onesixthscalepictures.blogspot.c ... -body.html )
it's definatly a muscular body on it.
truetype also made an african-american body, thou it seems to be out of production for now. again, a more muscly build. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
disadvantage of army dudes is not finding them in the slimmer builds easily.

Triad has a couple of ethnic guys, one Hispanic of middlingly dark tan and one fairly dark AA.

TTL tan might be a close match. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail
I've got one and it's nice and dark. Don't have a Clawd yet to compare it with tho, but here's a pic for reference sake.

It's the same with the Moxie Teenz. There's been a bit of a variance thing going on. Not just with Bijou and Arizona but there are even Melrose and Tris dolls that are darker or pinker shades. My original Melrose was darker than my 2nd and 1 of my Tris dolls is still pale but definitely a tad pinker than the others. I think it's all about dye lot. It's almost like yarn dying. They're all supposed to be the same color but every now and again you get one that's a bit off the norm....
